I have to admit, that Wagon Adventure was pretty super and amazing. I dig this game's sense of humor with its quick little jabs of absurdity.

The game looks pretty good. I actually hope that it might warrant many playthroughs (maybe via the unlocked wagons) and has a lot of variety in the insane epsiodes. Plus, the funny writing really does it for me in a surprsing way. Almost as if a little kid was the narrator.

Part of the way it does that is that the game randomly cycles through its events. There's still some you'll see every single time you play it (you always start with the hunt and then get attacked by the bandits; the general progression of fields to plains to desert/underwater to mountains, etc. is always the same) but they constantly change the events you do when you're in there. It's actually a really sharply designed game for a buck.

I'm so glad GB's finally giving SAWA some love. I discovered it around the time it came out and have loved it since. I'm not kidding when I say it's honestly in my top 5 games from last year.

Tried the game right after I watched this. I learned two things: I am really bad at side-scrolling shooters and that this is definitely worth 80 MS points even if you are someone who is really bad at side-scrolling shooters.

Are the levels/events randomized or is it the same every time? Going to buy it either way, just curious.

It's partially randomized. The general progression is always the same and there's some events you always have to play (the bandit attack in the beginning, for one), but the stuff in between is all variable. Real talk: I've had the game since shortly after it came out and this Quick Look was the first time I had ever seen the Civil War battle.

Partly randomized, for sure. A couple runs were the same each time, others began with a new segment with the rest largely unchanged. The bomber came up really early for me, though. Way in advance of its appearance in the QL. ...I should also probably mention that I never got passed the first river crossing. Damn fording.

You would lose that bet. This game is super fun, and well worth the entry fee - which is a buck I think.

Now now - pretty clear to me that all the people who hate Patrick are actually wrestling with their confusing sexual attraction to him. His voice makes them have unbidden visions of running their fingers through his fro, and in the stillest hours of the night when they can't sleep they toss and turn and think about him wearing the hot dog suit and feel strange tingles they can't explain. No wonder they can't chill out.

His hair, even though you can't see it, is in fact a magnet for human sexuality. It is impossible to resist, some just handle it better than others.

Ah, very nice! That's certainly good to hear. I discovered it mere days before this QL because Kikoskia started his LP. But even in those few games a lot of variety happened. For example the time travel episode that came out of nowhere in the QL. I'll definitely give it a shot myself!

I'm surprised/impressed this got covered on GB. There has not been a lot of XBLIG games on here. To be fair, its a lot like iOS, not every game deserved consideration, but there are some great and cheap console games there.

I think I was just hoping for more from GB when the XBLIG summer uprising happened

Im not sure who i hate more, people who relentlessly shit on patrick. Or patrick white knights who feel the need to defend him.

Im pretty sure it should've been THE YEAH-TI instead of Bigfoot.

So amazing that you are willing to consider the prospect of shelling out what could only be classed as an insignificant amount of money to purchase it! Are your feet cold? I only ask because it sounds to me like the current status of your socks is: blown off.

I'm amazed that some jerkoff just made this game for the hell of it and got it out there for people to see. It's great and I wish that it happened more often. It makes me wonder how many other good ideas are out there that never get the chance to be known. I'm guessing many.
