So happy they're putting it out on PC, will be buying it and would've bought it on release on Xbox 360 if I still had one. :-)

Any plans on a playthrough commentary, ala the Valve games?  I'd pay a buck or two extra for that, maybe as an expansion?

I love these segments.  I will buy their game not only because it looks cool, but because those four genuinely seem like delightful human beings and I want to support what they do.

Totally. I think developer commentary is a feature that's apt for small indie games. You always hear crazy stories about amazing games being made by two guys... 

But yeah I'm assuming that only means more work for them. Maybe when it does well and gets ported to the PC? ;)

I missed most of the show but I'm happy to hear they're all ready to go.  The artwork looks pretty good.  The bit where he was reflecting spike projectiles with a shield was nice to see.  And it looks like they were coming up on a croc lair?  That could be cool.  Honestly though I wasn't going to get this.  Until the announced the PC version.  I'll play it on the PC.

Need for Speed 4 was High Stakes not Porsche Unleashed. Porsche Unleashed was a fun game on the PC!

Thank you Giantbomb and SuperGiant for putting out this series of documentaries. As someone who is considering forming up a small game dev company with 2 or 3 friends, this has been incredibly informative. As for the game itself, well, I could't help but fall in love with this team and the work they've created. I'll definitely be purchasing this on day one, and I hope that the game does well for them.

Does anybody know the dramatic song being played on some string instrument (sorry don't know strings very well, I'm more of a trombone guy) at 9:30 of the video? I like it

The best part about missing the live show is that I can skip the stupid fucking ComicVine segments. I really wish they'd talk about some non-super hero comics.

Wow, I almost feel stupid for not recognizing it! I guess I never thought of Ava Maria outside of a religious or holiday context.

If I had been there live I totally would have wanted Kasavin to answer the question:
 
"Are you going to do a Skyrim marathon for Giant Bomb?"
 
Bastion, at this point, is a no-brainer for me. Looks great and it's a dungeon crawler, I'm in...(though I'm tempted to wait for the PC version).

Sweet, I'm reading Cormac McCarthy's Border Trilogy right now!  Maybe I'll be done with it by the time this game is out.

the game itself aside (which I'll def. buy), I just have to say that I absolutely loved this series of videos. More please, Giantbomb? Game dev. diaries + interviews is an amazing combo.

Just want to say how fun and fuzzy inside I felt watching this video...after 13 years in the industry, and rising to ranks that removed me somewhat from this type of in the trench grind, it put such a smirk/smile on my face to see these guys doing this...love it...

Man, what a fuckin pain in the ass. TCR in my anus. "You have not started playing the game, but we should tell you relevant things immediately." 
 
I guess I DO understand why the strict hand-holding occurs, but what the fuck: we're not all fucking retards. We can figure it out for fuck's sake. We don't all have fucking ADHD for fuck's sake.

The game looks great so far, the only problem I had was that dude holding the nail clippers..why does he have them at work! This fat bitch I used to work with would clip her nails at work too the noise is horrible if it's not coming from you and then your nails are getting places. I know it's a weird comment but dude it's gross.

The thing that drew me in about this game was it's art style. I honestly hope I get the chance to buy a poster of the box art. Were it not for Giant Bomb and a great development team, I probably wouldn't know about this game, but now I can't wait for it to come out! Good work, everyone!

I'm gonna laugh my ass off when Giantbomb gives it 2 out of 5. 
 
All joking aside I can't wait to play this game.
