I saw Caddicarus's video on PT. That crap was immediate put to the top of my NOPE list.

I don't find PT scary at all. What's even the objective of the game?

[Bradandez]

I heard it stood for Playable Tester or something like that.

[technology4617]

Well, uh, it's a teaser for the upcoming Silent Hill(s) game, so you can't exactly expect the experience that a full game would provide, and it seems to do what it's supposed to do fucking well.

[rolesfamily]

Brad, I find you signature seriously distracting

Watching a playthrough of PT and I have to say... it's actually setting me on edge. That's incredibly rare for me when just watching a playthrough, but the game was so incredibly effective in how its bizzare pattern threw me off enough to not be able to sense what's coming, if anything, as much of what puts you on edge actually is no real threat whatsoever, sort of similar to some on the scares in the original SH trilogy. It's beyond false-alarm horror, the pattern is literally completely random to the point where it's near impossible to predict what will happen, and any prediction I made nearly always got proven wrong. I'm now even more hyped for Silent Hills.

[beebo44]

The game does a fantastic job of making you think there'll be a scare and then there not being one. It always gets you when you least expect it and does it well. Plus the fact that there's puzzle elements among the scares, making you go back to certain sections where you need something makes it all the worse. You always have that feeling that someone is breathing down your neck.

[technology4617]

Yep, it takes me back to the SH trilogy, since that had similar sorts of scares (in that they both relied very much on psychological and false alarm horror), except they magnify the false alarm mechanic to the point where you're actually wrong about your predictions most of the time.

[beebo44]

I definitely can't wait for P.T to come out, even if I don't own a PS4 xD I'll go to my bud's house and play it.

[Fifo]

Wow:



“This is a password!” = 100% strong!



My own password (hidden) = 100% strong!

[beebo44]

Yea don't expect those to be accurate Fifo, it doesn't work off of common words and stuff, just the amount of different characters and spaces.

[technology4617]

Well, I'm now officially going into the hell of Outlast: Whistleblower on Insane difficulty, wish me luck.

[saerleiya]

Is it very difficult?

[technology4617]

Is it very difficult?

I guess not once you know all the strategies, but if anything goes wrong with any of them, you're basically fucked.

EDIT: Also, emshomar's going to be streaming the aforementioned game while getting scared a lot at 9pm European time, so join at twitch.tv/emshomar.

EDIT 2: And lol Insane mode (nsfw):


I recorded this with a secondary commentary track, but I still need to edit it and mix it with the game's audio before I can upload a video.

[Reese Riverson]

Welp, Microsoft is buying Mojang, aka Minecraft.

Straight from the horses mouth: https://mojang.com/2014/09/yes-were-bei ... microsoft/

I'm disappointed by this, because I don't particularly trust Microsoft to keep from screwing it up.

[OCG]

Hopefully this will be downfall of Minecraft and people will go and play better games.

[Serza5]

Great job showing your biased hate OCG.

[Reese Riverson]

Gee, that wasn't a very nice statement OCG. How would you feel if someone said the same thing about Pac-Man or anything else you liked?

[Imco]

Yeah! Screw Pac-Man! Just kidding,
I'm not sure how I feel about Microsoft buying Mojang.
But then again, if Notch thought it was best, perhaps it is?

[Master]

Hmm, Notch has left Mojang, make of that what you will.
As for the current thing, I'm uneasy, especially seeing how Microsoft messed up Rare. I guess time will tell what will come of this, though.

And OCG, that was uncalled for. You're free to dislike Minecraft, but don't be such an ass.
