Of course I know that. It's just that I don't like the majority of his stuff (Transformers, Pearl Harbor, etc.). That said, Pain & Gain was surprisingly good.

Continents aren't islands because they are continents. That's why they are called continents.

Tickle The Boar's Head is the name of my new Prog Rock Concept Album.

EDIT: The CONSTANT spooky music as Drew just meanders around in pitch black darkness is hilarious.

Which also stars The Rock.

I don't want to sound like a dick, but I think the "Dan & Drew play bad games" thing needs some rules...or tuning.

I mean, this is just kind of bad.

Love you guys though!

Ambitious in what way? Also, calling an accurate period piece nostalgic pandering is nothing but cynical.

I love how the voice actor just says exactly what is in the script, broken grammar and all.

All the positive Steam reviews for this game are talking about supporting the game's development.

I think they think it's early access?

Pretty sure 90% of this game's models come with the Crytek engine and he just made a test level and thought he could charge money for it. When did Steam's quality control fall into the toilet?

Also I hate the notion of defending an indie game purely because it's indie and made by one person. A bad game is a bad game and they shouldn't charge money for bad games.

this is obviously satire, or someone is conducting some grand social experiment

Parts of the game looked great but then everything else seems like it was made by 1 amateur, like some dude asked a professional to create the basic world and then finished the rest by himself.

These games bum me the fuck out. This person clearly isn't completely talentless but they really should stop making games by themselves and go work for someone else. They could get good at a studio but on their own they'll just make shit.
