The Brothers Karamazov is a tremendous book and definitely my favorite book. Damn good pick with that.

I'd take a dictionary, because I'm not that good with words and I'd like to sound smarter when talking to myself.

Well now I'm torn. This game seems up my alley, love the art and audio. Don't want things spoiled. But I also don't want to miss GB East content :(

Does the suspense-y music in this game remind anyone else of Danny Elfman's music in Pee-Wee's Big Adventure?

Vinny's ideas for survival are the best. He should write that "How to survive on an island" book himself.

Also the game seems neat, but I don't like that every character in these games is always so super clichéd. The ending was great though, so I'll play this.

Another thing: Am I the only one immediately thinking of Dolly Parton every single time I hear/see the name Jolene?

This game seems interesting, but all the characters seem extraordinarily unlikable, including the one you play as.

If you're into the game, check out the Special Edition DLC. It features a bunch of stuff, including a documentary I made about the development of it!

I got into this QL, for the most part. And that was nice to have kick in and take over from; I was watching it because GBeast..

I could accept the mushroom trip, but I thought Lord Disky was a bit too far off parameters of what the game was trying to be. It devolved into dark humor. Cracked me up. though.

As if Vinny couldn't be anymore likeable, he names Elliot Smith as his top guy. Aces.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but... GBEast should pay more attention to the length of their Quick Looks. This one and White Knight could've been no longer than thirty minutes and the end result would've been the same.

all the characters are so unrealistic and so god damn annoying I'd probably kill myself after 3 minutes of talking to any of them.

also I laughed at them not covering the fire during a rainstorm and it not affecting the fire at all, or how only like 3 of the "beds" are actually under the shelter.

I really like mumble dialogue in games. It's waaaaaaaay better than bad VO for certainly certain. I was really sad when Starfox 64 came out and fox didn't say, "da dabba da duppa da dup?" To which Falco would reply, "bloom boom boom jabbum." ;-; I also think Final Fantasy died when real voices came in. So that'd be FF X.

3 minutes without air will cause you to pass out if you haven't trained for it but otherwise you'd be fine after you woke back up.

I'm with vinny; pure clean water and a survival guide of some sort. For my album it would probably be one of those techno/trance albums that have like 50 songs so that there's some variety.

Wow, it seems like lots of work went into the art style, but man do I hate it...and it's not because its 'cute', I just think its ugly as all get out. I love the premise though. If only I could re-skin the visuals.

I was thinking of the SAS Survival book before he mentioned it, my older brother purchased it way back and I remember being very interested in it, I still have it somewhere.

Fact that he mentioned it makes me wonder if it was/is a very popular survival book.
