Good to see that these are getting longer! It's like watching the Endurance Run grow from 13 minute bites to two hour long marathons.

That start screen for Legend of Iya really reminds me of Shadow of the Beast on the Amiga.

The slowdown when he killed the boss in Legend of Iya had to be an intentional throwback, right? It looked like it could turn out pretty well.

Be Good did absolutely nothing for me, but hey, it's a weird experimental thing, so whatever.

Experiment 12 seems pretty effing cool. Also, never give up, Patrick! One of these days, you'll pronounce Jasper Byrne's name correctly. I believe in you!

Legend of Iya has some good things going for it right now, lots of potential. From the video i'd say probably could do with an increase in movement speed for certain. It reminds me of early builds of Skullgirls in that regard. Animation fluid but slow-ish. Also less is more on the parallax. Too much camera movement in response to character movement and I feel dizzy.

Experiment 12 is not for me. I had more than my fill of that bullshit nonsense in art school. Just react to the visual stimulus, feel the emotional reactions you have to-

No. Shut up.

Don't you see, you're supposed to feel annoyed and irritated and dizzy. The experience is th-

No. Fuck off.

...sorry. Talking about art school makes me angry. D:

I played through about half of the chapters of Experiment 12. It's fucking awesome. I really hope Patrick streams the rest of it at some point.

No way I'm finishing this video. I want to experience Experiment 12 for myself.

This feature is great, and I can't wait to see more of it. I don't know I would have found that by myself.

Experiment 12 needs a spookin with scoops. That game is so unsettling, couldn't image playing it in the dark alone.

I had to stop watching when you started playing experiment 12 so I could go download it. Wouldn't want to spoil anything.

Knowing how a game plays wasn't so much "reading" as it was "downloading, installing, trying". I really appreciate these looks; it lets me decide which free games are worth checking out & which I can pass on.

I continue to enjoy this feature.

Much as it's super-convenient to not have to trawl three dozen websites on my own looking for interesting articles to read, it's double super convenient to not have to download, install, and run a dozen executables every week to see what's interesting about the games they contain.

So, keep it up! It's good.

The Legend of Iya combat looks a lot like the combat from a game called Fairy Bloom Freesia. Which I highly recommend everyone check out. Super fun! I found that I couldn't enjoy the combat in Dust afterwords because it was so mindless in comparison.

The only substantial difference between Phil Fish and Derek Smart is that people generally liked Fez more than BC3000.

Legend of Iya seems like it has potential even if that was a pretty crude demo. Really enjoying this worth playing feature!

Wow, I don't wanna be such a downer here, but that Be Good "game" was crap. I don't mind unusual, out-there design but that was the game equivalent of an art major sophomore's project.
