Fantastic stuff so far, Patrick. Really appreciate the effort you're putting into both the feature and being transparent about the process. Keep on keepin' on.

Thanks Patrick, didn't get to catch the second half last night. I thoroughly enjoyed Jennifer Connelly getting chased by scissors man though, looking forward to more Clock Tower in the future.

Clock Tower's got some weird credibility amongst my friends. 3 is one of my favorite games, though I prefer to remember it than actually play it.

Anyone, video looks improved this week so keep it up!

Speaking of scary 2d adventure games Dark Seed might be a good candidate:

I love the idea that patrick is using a laptop that he admits barely plays 3D games, but yet he didnt think about if he'd be able to stream out AND play 3d games. Just giving him a hard time, its a great idea and once the kinks get worked out it will be great.

Holy shit that audio is HOT. I think I woke my neighbours in the first few seconds.

I'm very impressed with how quickly SWS Ep2 has come up, especially considering how much of a non-starter Ep1 was technically.

I'm sure this series will have legs for as long as you can keep finding new material. Keep it up Patrick! :)

Ya know. There are probably other creatures scarier than a troll with a novelty pair of scissors. Other than that, Clock Tower looked like a pretty solid game.

Also, I agree with Patrick. I have a hard time playing slender, I don't know why.

Patrick is certainly braver than I am. One game of Slender was more than enough for me.

999 IS awesome, but... I dunno. It's moreso just tense based off of the writing as opposed to actual horror. It's a good thriller but... Eh.

Why does it not surprise me that Patrick drinks Pabst Blue Ribbon? Regardless, I am glad that he seems committed to being spooked, and hopefully the technical end of things will catch up eventually.

If you haven't played it already, you should grab Ryan and play some coop with the Obscure games. Not incredible, but interesting in that it's like old school Resident Evil/Silent Hill/Alone in the Dark, but entirely coop based.

Hey Patrick, you might have to do this at the office, but maybe take a look at Dementium/Dementium II on the DS. They're not amazing games by any means, but I am personally fascinated by what the studio tried pulling off on such a limited platform. Maybe worth looking at, if purely academically?
