Quick Look: Everything

I am the drugs.

"Breathe the numbers that make you feel right"

-- Brad Shoemaker, 2017

The guy speaking is Alan Watts a famous philosopher from 60's. I am a natural skeptic but I thoroughly enjoy listening to Watts take on the world. These excerpts are from "Out of Your mind "serious of lectures.

Dianetics?

Person drops acid -> Designs video game (check) got it...

Alan Watts is the bomb. Maybe even the bomb-diggity.

BEST COMMENT OF 2017 RIGHT HERE

It's taken years but they've finally done it. They've quick looked everything.

whoaa

"This is what it sounds like when a turd sings." - Jeff Gerstmann 2017. Also, sounds like rejected Prince lyrics.

They have finally done it.

They have finally Quick Looked Everything. Shut down the site it's over

Everything is awesome.

I guess this means Giant Bomb is closing. Its been a fun ride everyone! Maybe we will be back when Mario Party 11 is released.

I can't help but think this would be better if they replaced Alan Watts with Apocalypse Now Dennis Hopper.

Turd in space - Character of The Year 2017.

I'm really into those animals just rolling around. Not sure about the $15 price, but I could dip in with $10 just for some relaxed fooling around.

This is weird, but I think I like it.

I'm all for more games like this.

Agreed, I've listened/watched to a lot of his old lectures on youtube over the years, I find him very calming.

I am enjoying the audio clips a lot. Very relaxing. Not sure I'd spend money on it though.

It's a shame this isn't available on everything.

#QuickLookEverything

I found it weird to recognise Alan Watts from parts of his speeches being used in Chillstep music collections. Hearing it so clearly was really interesting.

Oh yeah, Spore. I remember that game.

I liked the part where

Jeff turned the planet into poop.

Existential Katamari

It's like "The Witness" without all those pesky puzzles.

36 minutes is not enough time to quick look everything :P

Everything needs to be a Switch game

So they've announced that this is a trilogy, look for Everything 2 in 2018.

Weird to hear Jeff say he's enjoying a game like this but I can totally see why because I'm right there with him.

@dr_mel: Everything Else followed by Everything Left

@brad it's 4-7-8 :)

What the hell is this game!?!?

Look at poorly animated nonsense and listen to poorly developed thoughts. At least it's consistent.

I like the little thought pop ups of all the animals and things you can activate, some of them seem well written and pretty funny. Seems like it could be fun to explore.

Can you turn off the narration though I wonder? Personally I just don't care about Alan Watt's philosophical questioning. At least in The Witness those audio clips where optional, here it seems to be largely part of the experience.

American Coins, but british Post and Phone boxes? Truely a game to boggle the mind.

This looks rad! Reminds me of Proteus.

Is.. is this ska?

Goddamn I love video games.

I fucking love Alan Watts - I've listened to dozens and dozens of hours of his lectures over the years.

So...Alan Watts, eh?

His like the Anti-Carl Sagan in that they're both of similar types but one of calm and objective while the other is calm and subjective. They both complement each other pretty much perfectly even though they worked in entirely different fields. Carl Sagan would just about be a Anti-Alan Watts also.

How fitting to use him for such a interpretative game. Very esotheric and surreal indeed.

Anyway, the game does look neat and even though I was sceptical, the last minute of this QL practically sold me on this game.

@dr_mel: Hahahaha, oh wait this is true? The devs are so self aware about this its a neat touch.

I'm a big fan of Mountain. I only have 80 hours in the game, but a friend of mine has well over 1000 hours. People turn their noses up at these kind of games, but it reminds me of the demoscene and it's fantastic to leave on a second monitor.

I honestly hope that more people make these types of games in the future.

This remind3d me of flower, one night I had to make decisions between girl I've been dating for weeks who was drunk in my room and a scream and cry I heard in the living room, my best friends face was bloodied as he sat on the couch downing a 30 pack of beer. I sat down to talk with him and found out someone hit him in the face with a brick when he was walking to buy beer. It was about 2 am in salt lake city. I sat down to talk with him as we loaded flower and talked about life. He told me he wanted to kill himself and was going to try soon. We played through flower in one sitting and talked about how important our friendship was and I went back and my date was asleep in my bed. My friend told me he had wanted to die but while playing flower on ps 3 something changed in him and he found great meaning in that game and our time together that night. The girl was mad I chose my friend over her but I'll never forget how reaffirming those momends fell as I helped my friend overcome his crippling alcoholism and the catalyst was a game where you play as a flower.

@jbuchan76: First thing I thought when I saw this. I know what im doing this weekend.

@dray2k: I hope I was just joking...

my 3 year old daughter walked up right as he turned into poop and thought it was the funniest damn thing and could not stop laughing. Then when he was poop in space she started laughing even harder.
