Mailbag: Quick Look: Curiosity (Actually, It's A Mailbag?)

@Phatmac said:

Is this the first IOS quick look on Giant Bomb?

they did a Quicklook ex for infinity blade i think.

That Curiosity crap seems to be the closest I have ever seen to someone releasing a push the win button. This is supposed to be better than games on a real handheld!? This is more pitiful than a live wallpaper.

Why is the Aeron sitting in the corner? Did it do something bad, or did @Ryan break it?

I can't wait to tap this cube! If only their servers were up so I could do it!!!

I lost my shit at Turbo Dick.

I... I don't think anyone said that Curiosity is supposed to be better than 'games on a real handheld'. In fact, I don't think anyone is even calling it a game, but a social experiment.

Sure, it's dumb, but comparing it to a 'push to win button' or a DS game is very very silly.

Just downloaded Curiosity, can't connect to the sever though. DAMN YOU MOLYNEUX

So Jeff, can we expect a review after the cube has been fully chipped away?

I am 100% behind mobile gaming being exclusively done on my phone and my tablet. People keep bemoaning the future of handheld gaming not being on dedicated devices, and then there keep being way better experiences on those devices. Oftentimes for 1/10th the price of their 3DS/Vita counterparts.

Tapping a screen randomly is a better experience than what is available on 3DS or Vita?

You don't win anything really, so...no?

Took the words right out of my mouth.

Yeah dawg, I gave hur dat turbo dick and she couldn't walk for days.

Curiosity just looks so stupid that I would like to try xE

So, Curiosity is Cow Clicker 3.0?

Jeff's wallpaper.

I like.

It's actually Pandora's box. Tap away until you have unlocked are doom.

They did reveal who "You're so Vain" was about. First the info was auctioned off for some charity and then a year later she confirmed it was about the record exec people had already posited it was about.

LEGO ISLAND QUICK LOOK MUST HAPPEN.

What's in the box?! Just imagine Brad Pitt screaming that over and over.

YOU CAN TAP EVERYTHING!

screw petey molydeux-deux. what a waste of time that thing is.

@featurepreacher: it's not even supposed to be a game in the first place, duder.

Turbo Dick is the best secret ever.

fuck yea lego island

WHAT IS IN THE CUBE?!

Disappointment

@Chtasm said:

I just have to emphasize:

...ahem...

TURBO DICK

I have no idea what the hell game that is.

I also have robocop somewhere. I had to buy robocop

Frustrated that the android version didn't come out the same day... *pout

I didn't even blink at the turbo dick thing. For the longest goddamn time I typed dick every time I attempted to type disk. I think I've gotten over it now.

So with a score, competition rules, and items to purchase based on score obtained, it quite obvious that it's a game. An extremely pitiful one at that. The kind of game that makes Farmville seem interesting.

damn, someone get me a smartphone so I can ruin my screen with curiosity. I wanna know what's inside the cube!!! I am not sarcastic I really wanna know.

@Phatmac: Nope... I think they did one on infinity blade I believe

when you get to the center of the cube...all of the fake currency you earned becomes real currency. It's gotta be money.

And one of those, "damn, if only I had be clicking more, I could have had more money!" or "holy shit, I clicked out 3 million dollars!" situations.

Green and black color scheme? Official Durango announcement confirmed.

Why does Brad's beard exist

Why exactly is the Clementine hat "lame?"

@ObsideonDarman said:

Seeing the Menu screen of ZONE OF THE ENDERS really maskes me wanna fucking play ZONE OF THE ENDERS.

Is there a reason why you're CAPITALIZING THAT NAME? Is it the OFFICIAL WAY TO WRITE IT?

Episode 1 Racer is dope.

I'll wait for the GOTY edition

@Rocospi said:

Jeez, I saw that cap in a few other places and on twitter, spoilers much?

I've only gone through Episode 1, but it doesn't take a master detective to figure out what will happen to Clementine now. What a bummer.

In reality, that actually means nothing, you're reading into it a bit much.

Whenever I get Turbo Dick, I find it helps to just think about baseball.

Inside the cube is a YouTube link that says, "This video has been removed due to terms of use violation."

I still really want that Walking Dead poster in the background.

Episode 1 Racer is dope.

that game looks pretty horrible

True words

Tricky wit dat Jehuty action going on (there's where the REAL Turbo Dick is).

only one 'winner.' shroud of secrecy. terms of agreement. 'life changing.' molyneux. it's obvious. those 'COINS' are fractions of REAL LIFE $ and only the first to reach the centre gets the monies. prediction: vid link for "those coins are real money and you win all!" will leak, but under fake accounts, and we wont know who hit the lotto. also, as someone else pointed out, turbo dick is turbo disk typo. another secret revealed.

I bet they will make a game based off the idea of the person who taps the last block.

Installed the game today and haven't been able to get on it once. Just the same server error message over and over. Imagine that, a Molyneux game that doesn't do what he said it would...

I cant believe Ryan has the only PDF manual for my junk.
