Why does this sound familiar? And why does it sound like something @patrickklepek would have posted?

MMO Roguelike Tower Defense. I suppose it was only a matter of time.

This looks so mediocre it can't help but end up being well received.

I do! Patrick posted the last trailer, which is pretty much the same thing but with an upbeat narration, back in July:

Game still seems cool, but I wish I hadn't read that recent whiny reaching article from the creator. I find more an more that the less I know about a dev, the more I can enjoy their work. Maybe I'm just an asshole.

Anyway, game still seems cool.

Seems like an interesting statement on the obsession with violence and self-defense in this country.

Super interesting, but I'm completely burned out on minimalistic pixel-art games. :(

I really don't like the guy who makes this but Sleep is Death was a really cool thing (that sadly didn't catch on for long) so it will probably be alright.

Main character is a white guy who uses his middle name. That is a serial killer. Prove me wrong.

Anyone going to compete in the real money contest?

Quite the prize list.

Seriously, Jeff could have put Quick Look in front of the title and I would be none the wiser.

Well this seems interesting. I'll wait until there is a QL or some gameplay vids before I decide on it. Could turn out to be boring for me.

This is a game by the same guy who made Diamond Trust of London, seems like he likes very different subject matter for his games.

I played this game awhile back. It looks so much cooler than it actually is. I hope it gets updated regularly with new items or something. Even doing well in the game it just... seems kinda pointless. The artwork isn't enough to keep me playing.

So it's a depressing pixel art indie version of the Mighty quest for Epic Loot?

I played the Alpha. It's quite an interesting game. I liked that it had real consequence. You laugh endlessly when you see the security tapes of people dying to your traps.

I feel like this trailer went a little long for the style it employed. Still, the game looks very cool.

I kind of wish this wasn't multiplayer. I think I'd have more fun being a total shitheel warlord to the computer.

This is a trailer. This trailer should not be heard with headphones. Headphones make him sound more like a lunatic.

Sucks that the dog is specifically noted as a "pitbull". Wouldn't "attack dog" work just as well and not increase the bad rap that pitbull's have?... just sayin.
