Thursday Night Throwdown

Thürsday Night Throwdown: 02/28/13

Tim Schafer and crew join us on the couch for some insight into Brütal Legend... and Lemmy's apartment.

It's Thursday night and it's time for you to go up against us in a weekly throwdown of decidedly humble proportions.

@mellotronrules: I really need to pick up the Steam version. I loved it on Xbox 360, but never bought it (Gamefly)

Never liked the game, sold it quickly after I got it. Fucking incredible soundtrack, though. Any title screen that can randomly provide Sabbath, Diamond Head, or modern-day Testament is a-ok with me.

I really like that Brutal Legend's re-release has seemingly brought about a whole bunch of love for the game.

Oh how I wish Brutal Legend had turned out better. Shaefer and Miur both said it was never intended to not be a hybrid game but being just that is exactly what held its potential back imo. I'd have so much have preferred a straight hack n slash as was originally advertized with the game. Oh well I still respect Double Fine more than most companies.

I loved this feature, some of the best stuff GB has ever done to be honest. More developers playing their own games plz! It's awesome.

I stopped playing the Xbox version when I got sick of the strategy parts. Loved everything else about it, so I might have to give it another shot.

Love the ongoing Tony Hawk joke on the whiteboard by tech couch. I believe it now reads "More like Böney Legend."

People who comment on this site have a bizarre obsession with other people's facial hair. Who honestly gives a shit whether Patrick shaves or doesn't shave?

Also, I heartily approve of the weekly Brad Muir idea.

I don't think I've ever thought "I'm just not a fan of this thing Double Fine has done." At least with regards their original content.
I looked at the picture and thought "Were's the Tim Schafer, then?" and it turns out Schafer's hair just looks like @Jeff's on a good day XD

The way Tim talks about being nervous at first when meeting celebrities is exactly how I would be around him. He's the creative mind behind most of my beloved games. I'm sure I'd become a stammering fool should I ever get the chance to meet him.

yup, Brutal Legend.

Heartbroken, stopped caring ages ago.

I get the love, but seriously... Brutal Legend was a fucking bummer.

Even the guy who created the damn thing can't be bothered to stay more than an hour.

Loved the show. When Doublefine shows up to the Giantbomb offcies it's always a great show.

Also, I really liked the game when it was released. The MP might be the most underrated MP Mode ever.

Lemmy being the first one to record is extra scary. That guy's INTENSE. Jack seems like much more of a normal guy's guy you'd get along with easily.

Edit: Tim saying that strategy and adventure games are popular in Germany is so funny because it's true. I'd really like to know what's up with our culture's interest in more cerebral games. Also, boardgames.

Stacking is artistically exactly what I want from a game. Weird, whimsical... there's so much potential for a sequel. Take it to space and let's use hologram dolls. Why would you NOT do that?
