I could go for a feature of philosophy/politics with Austin. As I am very much a capitalistic libertarian I would likely disagree with him on lots of things but the little bits of it you let him do on other features and that I engaged in with him in chat during extra life were incredibly interesting. Especially as I am a child of the 80s the thoughts of an educated thoughtful millennial (or at least closer to it than me) would be very interesting to engage with.

@zaldar: same (or similar at least). I'm also of that era (and general philosophy) but I have all the time in the world to listen to Austin speak on politics and philosophy. It's always a pleasure to hear someone with clearly thought out and well enunciated points that is also coming from outside your own echo chamber. Also, he's not too proud to reconsider or reflect on things he's said/done in the face of reasonable criticism. A super-likeable duder and I'm glad he's on the crew.

"There's a lot of Snatcher in this game"

Margaret Thatcher the Milk Snatcher is in this game? I would probably play a game where you play Margaret Thatcher going around schools stealing milk from kids.

I think the world is really interesting but it's too much visual novel and not enough game for me.

@2mello: Wait. Are you also responsible for Chrono Jigga and Nastlevania? If so, I may or may have jammed out to those two albums at work for a few weeks in a row. Glad to hear more of your work!

Having played both this and Technobabylon, I would definitely recommend the latter. It is in my opinion superior as a game and as a cyberpunk piece. Also it has full voice acting with excellent performances. Also they cost the same.

I am SUPER into the way this game sounds, feels, and especially the writing - it's just perfect. I must buy.

Looks really neat, but Turing's look weirds me out. Are the vertical white lines his eyes or the horizontal red ones? Drives me crazy.

@sessh: The vertical whites. The red ones are like rosy cheeks :)
