That music sounds like that Chris Isaak song that was super popular a long time ago.

Yeah Vinny definitely talking about Pandemic, many of you have probably already played it. And I have the Splice demo on my Steam, need to try it I guess.

Hearing this QL just made me realize how much I've missed Vinny from recent QL & bombcasts.

Yeah, Vinny was definitely talking about Pandemic. Great game, trying to destroy humanity shouldn't be this entertaining.

Also this indeed looks like a perfect game for a touchscreen based platform. I'd buy it for my Android.

Nope, Pandemic is the board game where you are trying to stop the spread of virus.

Vinny is talking about Plague Inc.

I don't have a bar code scanner, but I would bet money they just say "Str. 101", "Str. 102" etc. Everything corresponds to a letter and the bar patterns above the number are consistent with it.

Played the demo of this on steam a few days ago and really dug the aesthetics of the game, but then again that can be said about everything Cipher Prime does.

This is a pretty smart puzzle game. I have to wonder how much time these guys spend doing some thought provoking activities in there free time?

I think I would approach this the same way I tackle Everyday Genius: SquareLogic; plan ahead a bit and slowly forge ahead. Doesn't seem like trial and error is the best way to go.

It looks like that multiplier thing takes everything attached to it including itself and duplicates it. I have to say, thier badness at games like this always made me want to by these games more just to prove to myself that this game is as easy as it looks compared to how they play it.

I imagine in the Downton Abbey sequence you're creating Spanish Flu.

At some point Patrick will learn that it's almost always better to show, not tell in a quick look.

It's called Plague Inc. by Ndemic Creations. There's no Android version as far as I know.

Patrick sure said a lot without saying anything.

This looks pretty boring.
