Giant Bomb Presents: The Jig Is Up: Let's Talk Frog Fractions 2 With Jim Crawford

From what I heard over at waypoint, it sounds like the whole reveal for this was bananas. Time to learn more

Oh, shit.

more like dog fractions

WAT?!

Its a Christmas miracle!

Shit, gotta re do my game of the year list now.

Can I get a summary? I don't really have 45 minutes to listen to this with the GOTY shows this week. Spoiler tagged, I guess.

Sweet!

2016 man... Jesus

This is incredible. I always knew it'd be a surprise, and man I am totally surprised.

HOT SCOOPS!!!

Oh man, can't wait to get home and listen to this!

Well, that's one way to try to redeem 2016.

Man this is content overload for real

Now we can finally stop making the "is this Frog Fractions 2?" joke! hooray!

The steam reviews are something fans of Giantbomb should check out.

THE JIG IS UP!

Is this Frog Fractions 3?

pog tractions?

mmm. Need an ELI5 or TLDR for this. I didn't follow what the ARG was or what it is.

Cant wait for Frog Fractions 4 or Bubsy 3D: Bubsy visits the James Turrell Retrospective 2.

@warmonked: Check out Patrick's article about it on Waypoint. Can't link it right now since I'm on the shittiest phone ever.

I made it into Frog Fractions 2, which from what I've heard is referred to as Frog Fractions 3 in the credits, and it is not what I expected which is a good thing. Didn't get too far in it though. It's definitely interesting though.

Sorry to be a whiner but this is way WAY more than spoilers. It's a good little interview but I kind of wish I hadn't listened to it. If you read this post before you download this, consider not listening.

Thanks & sorry at same time.

So long Jig, it's been good.

Also, the original Frog Fractions made it into GB's GOTY lists at the last minute. Wonder if that can happen this year.

GLITTERMITTEN GROVE HAS SAVED 2016

GLITTERMITTEN GROVE WILL END ISIS

Jah

Rastafari

I am feeding my boyfriend booze and watching him play this and it's beautiful

so it seems that some members of the games press knew about this in advance. jeff tweeted earlier that he was watching the player count on the game where it was hidden, and patrick's got an article where he talks to crawford

I've been following this saga on Waypoint radio, but haven't heard today's episode of that podcast. Can't wait to hear Jeff break it all down.

What is way more than spoilers? SUPER spoilers?

A couple other people were suddenly tweeting about it on Christmas, so people got suspicious. I guess getting the games media in on it is a pretty good decision, so they weren't all falling over each other to spoil everything.

It's finally over! (Probably.) I'm gonna listen to this a bit later, I'm looking forward to it! Merry frogmas.

This whole saga is insane, in the best possible way.

Also it's awesome to get a new installment of Giant Bomb Presents!

I expected a little bit but there's quite a few in there, and I only got half way before stopping.

Having never played Frog Fractions, or even having an idea of what kind of game it is, could someone give me some directions on how to get the game and start playing it....for lack of a better way to describe it, as blind as possible?

I don't even want to google it in case something is spoiled.

Thanks all.

And happy holidays

@allyc31: Edit: Saw that you rather wanted a blind hint. If you want directions, look at the Kotaku article. A blind hint would be:

1) Glittermitten Groove!

2) I dig fireworks!

@abrasion: if someone says there's gonna be spoilers in a thing, and you don't want any spoilers, don't listen to the thing with spoilers in it.

Awesome that this talk happened!

Frog Fractions is such a Giant Bomb/Patrick Klepek type of thing.

Meme overload.

@bryngylf: thank you

@charoncaori:

Patrick has been reporting on this at Waypoint for weeks now.

If you've never played the first frog fractions, go here and play the first one before the sequel. It's free!

Aww, I wish the mystery was still alive.

I fucking love fractions you guys

Everyone should play the game first if they're at all interested as this podcast is very much a "spoilercast". They talk very explicitly about some really good gags and end game surprises without any warning.

Super fun to listen through once you finish though.

I found this look behind the curtain very interesting. The story of how this game came to be is great in itself. Now I can't wait to play it, even if they did maybe spoil a bit. I'm sure nothing major.

That intro was positively RastaSKArian!

I've never played Frog Fractions, but this whole saga is utterly fascinating.

Great podcast
