Worth Playing: 09/13/2013

Well NO SIR!!! :D

"If you want to someone"...

"If you want to someone"...

Consider my mind fucked.

my 2nd favorite klepek content (spookin is genuinely part of the core reason im still a subscriber),

so much interesting games get shown off here and patrick flows well here.

i continue to stand by what i said, klepek the entertainer over klepek the politician any day

@patrickklepek You appear to have a typo in the description. Is it supposed to be "If you want to watch someone fall off platforms"?

THERE WAS NO TYPO WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

MY GRAMMAR HURTS

DUN DUN DUNNNN

Cool games, bought strata.

New format is fine, works as well the other.

Awesome content once again, Klepek! It's really great how you still manage to be an important and entertaining contributor for the site! Your content is really the reason I continue to be a subscriber.

Strata looks and sounds awesome.

Hoping Super Hot gets shown off in this game, just so I can see someone else play it better than me.

Have to say prefer being able to see your reactions as you play

Every 10 Seconds a Window Washer Falls to his Death would have benefited from seeing you during the frenetic gameplay.

Hey, thanks for playing Probe Team! If anyone's interested, they can play it here.

The sound design of the window washer game is masterful.

Hello, I am from Motamot, the developer of 'The Note'. We're so happy that you've played our game but currently we're investigating that crash. Sorry for that.

The Note is an experiment on art, which has two endings. If you want to play, you can visit http://motamot.co/thenote

Thanks and again,

so sorry for that crash situation :/

Very cool list of games this week!

Jokes on you, Patrick! Unprofessional Fridays was on Thursday this week!

Your "brainfart" on the music puzzle game had me laughing pretty hard.

@emirarkman: You guys have some cool art design.

@peritus: Thank you!

Boson X seemed more like a less abstract Super Hexagon with a more complex control scheme, if anything. Looks reasonably fun.

Good format change, @patrickklepek. Looking back, Facecam is largely unnecessary for this kind of feature, though I'm sure you've broken the hearts of a few ladies (and perhaps even a guy?) by making that change.

Yeah, I chortled at that too. I wonder if @patrickklepek knew.

@patrickklepek: I think Worth Playing should either always have the face cam or never have it. You can just talk over the game at the end if you want to give impressions. It's slightly jarring to jump back and forth.

Also, I'm not sure this should feature so much of your thoughts on the games, at least not when you get off on a tangent and aren't talking about the game anymore. In my mind, the focus should be on the games.

Not to be harsh or anything, but these were the things that bugged me a bit. Great feature!

I switched tabs briefly and heard what sounded like Dungeon Keeper battle cries and got excited. Turns out it was the window washers falling. >.<

...still looked fun though. :)

@wemibelec90: Well, he has been experimenting, can't blame him for still establishing the parameters of what makes a Worth Playing segment.

@namesonkel: Yep, this is why I pointed out the things I did. Constructive criticism.

I can't live without Patrick's face!

Hey Patrick! I think videos can do without a webcam. Webcams remind me of Let's Plays, and I have a strong disdain for them. But otherwise, I really enjoy your content.

I prefer it with the cam in the corner.

@Patrickklepek I like this format, I enjoy hearing your initial impressions after playing the titles.

Patrick did a hell of a lot better at Boson X than I did :/

I'm glad you're trying other things, but man. I really like facecam.

Its slower paced than before, which gives me a bit of time to think about what I just saw. Also no face-cam for these things seems to be working (personally). Undivided attention on the games instead of staring at Patrick being all manly and shit.

Boson X and Strata both seem like very good games.

@patrickklepek

You seem to have written "Boston X" instead of "Boson X" into the youtube description.

(I wish I could make a good joke about that.)

Boson X is really quite fantastic. I am generally not really that into most endless runners, but that one had enough of a fast paced technical simplicity married with a nice art style and music to keep me pressing the enter button again and again to keep trying.

Strata looks super nice and sounds really relaxing. Might pick it up on iOS, already voted for it on Greenlight as it's something I definitely could see me sitting down with after a rough day at work to just unwind with, headphones on and all.

I think I might have to try out Twine, it sounds interesting.

Also, I think for this feature a summary of your thoughts part at the end of every game is a good thing. As you're not as distracted as you are while playing so you tend to articulate what you think more clearly. However, if you don't necessarily want to incorporate the webcam, you could just leave it at the main game menu as a way of reminding people of the game's name.

@yummytreesap: I would say Boson X is a an infinite runner/super hexagon mashup. Very clever!

Not Worth Playing. Staight from newgrounds

I like this format, with the cut back to his face as he dissects his feelings on each title. The not-cutting-back alternative to this would mean you'd just have his disembodied voice speaking over a menu or Game over screen, and that's probably not that engaging as video content.

Oh, and the advent of lens flare was overdone within five seconds of Photoshop including it as a filter back in the 90s. Man, it was being added to every webpage graphic and piece of digital "art" back then (myself among the culprits).

There's a worth playing, but where's the worth reading this week?
