I just wanted say I think this exact format of Patrick cycling through games and getting his raw impressions from game to game with no breaks is absolutely the way to go in my opinion. Some of my favorite content on the site has been his Worth Jamming and Worth Playing both of which I think nail the structure and pacing.

Not only that but it's gotten my hype for games I had no idea about before. Good stuff Patrick!

If Perfect Stride looks interesting, check out the ArcaneKids' previous game Zineth at http://zinethgame.tumblr.com/

http://www.giantbomb.com/zineth/3030-40943/

It is basically a roller-blading game like Jet Set Radio Future crossed with Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, crossed with a bit of pokemon.

You know, it's odd, watching Perfect Stride reminded me a bit of the trick system in Jet Set Radio Future. It seems like it's got a similar flow to it. I wonder if they were influenced by that game.

No one will ever think of hiring you to run a video store, because they don't exist anymore.

That intro to Perfect Stride was one of the greatest things I've ever seen in a video game.

And now I imagined Ryan losing his shit to that game and made myself real sad. Goddamnit.

i feel like he would have also really dug videoheroes.

Patty/Pattie is common female name but I have never heard of one shortening it to Pat.

"Let me sprinkle some magic on you," I said to the comely young lady tending the bar when said lady introduced me to the bouncer and the bouncer introduced me to the pavement of the street out back. :(

An Aunt of mine's name is Pat.

I'm not really proud to admit that I owned or rented pretty much every VHS tape in Video Heroes at some point.

Yeah one of my best friends (Jacob Knipfing) worked on the game, it's pretty fuckin' rad.

Also shout outs to the input buffer.

I was going to say, I swear I've played Perfect Stride before but if it's in alpha and first released in this pack, how could I have? But yeah, it was that game I was thinking of!

Yeah! It's like he's doing an actual quick look, instead of the Quick Looks that we get. Just enough time spent on games to show me whether I should be interested.

Does this pack contain more than ten games better than Brothers? Some of the ones shown looked legitimately amazing.

The question is: did Patrick realize that the song in that monkey game was Smoke on the Water?
