Same - as soon as that game gets a price drop, I'm totally on it. Can't justify half the price of a full retail game from the UK store though.

Bastion keeps looking better and better - really looking forward to the PC version. Always nice to see Greg on the show, hope they get him back for his next game!

I'm glad that this week's show was free since they could've counted the last show as the freebie for April.

Luckily I live in Australia, which makes the price even more tempting. Rather then the usual $100 AUD price for retail games, Steam has it for only $19.99 USD. What, with the way the US dollar is at the moment, pfft, that's like $3 of my plastic Australian money!

Or $18-ish... if I'm honest.

Screened segment: 

(in case it wasn't covered in the comments before or anyone cares)
As Rorie said, one of the jokes in the Troll Hunter is from our centuries old fairy tales about trolls and how they can smell the blood of a christian since they like to destroy them. 
Way later on the crew gets a new member and when asked she says she's muslim. 
The joke there is of course can a troll smell the blood of a muslim as well - haha.
Basically fairy tales upon fairy tales upon fairy tales!

There's a thing about the USA cable that I've been wondering for ages; How expensive is it?
Have often heard that folks don't have cable because of the price.
Over her in Holland you can get cable (granted, less channels I guess. Including foreign channels it's "only" some 30 channels) in a cheap package with internet, digital television and basic phone sub thrown in for around 40-50 euro's.

Bastion = sold.

Id feel bad if i didn't buy it at this point, and the fact that it actually looks like a great game makes the decision way easier.

New game + always interests me.

He said it is archived but it will be a week or more before they do anything with it. And it'll be for subscribers.

Call me crazy, but Bastion isn't really blowing me away. Sure it looks neat, and I know they're all old buddies which is why it's being featured so heavily, but it's just not quite there for me.

@Morridin: For a standard cable package you're probably looking around $80 a month once you toss in a DVR.  Granted, you end up with 300+ channels with most packages, and something around 50-70 HD channels depending.  HBO adds another $30/month at least.

Between that and internet I pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $140 a month.  Needless to say, I would easily go cable-free or pick channels a la carte if given the option.  Live sports are pretty much the only thing that have kept me from dropping cable so far.

I dunno why, but whenever I see Ryan in the armchair, I want to see him with a king's crown and drinking from a crystal-encrusted gauntlet. 


Whatever, I guess I'm crazy, but there you go.

I agree, I guess it is for people that wants hack n slash without any purpose. That is what it looks like to me. Dig the voice, the artwork and all that though.

Well you've got to hold it down if you want to keep going down and the game does have a bouyance system, but yeah down=down it's not a massive leap of logic, or of that was too tricky its in the list of controls. Poor Brad :( bad at games and bad at submarines.

Here.

I should also state here, up front, before we get going, that due to the way we've decided to create ongoing programming based on Bastion and its developers--one of whom was a close coworker of ours for a lot of years--we're opting to not review Bastion when it's released. I suspect that, by the time it's finished, we'll all be a little too close to it to render an untainted verdict, so it's best to just state that now, so everyone's clear. Cool?

When talking about TV is probably the only time I think these guys show their age. I don't know anyone under 25 that actually still owns cable.

Thanks for the explanation. I've been wondering about that for some time, but never thought of a way to check it out.
With such costs I fully understand how a lot of folks will skip cable.

Also, I almost cried when I saw the awesome HBO site, but I have Time Warner... so if you have Time Warner we need to email customer service an complain that they are not on board with this, i pay so much for cable and HBO on top that its crazy they aren't supporting this!
