Broken Age Beta

Also, I'll be getting a physical boxed copy of the game at some point, so if I ever become able to play it on the pc, I still can.

Valve showed off the first line of Steam Machines the other day. Most of them were overpriced and stupid, but the cheapest ones were about the same price as the new consoles. Games on PC are a lot cheaper, obviously, though the choice for Linux systems sucks right now.

I believe that part 2 is going to be dealt with simply as an update to part 1, rather than a seperate game.

That would make sense. I wasn't really sure how that would work out. Well, we'll at least do this again when Massive Chalice comes out.

A bit late, but I want to let you know how I truly feel.
OANST, You look like the guy from Mythbusters but with a pointy nose.

PS will this game be as good as Grim Fandango? That one was perfecto.

[OANST]

You look like Ron Jeremy, but with a tiny dick.

Asshat.

Just finished it. Assuming this is half of its length, it's not a long game, by the standards of 90s Adventures. It really is quite beautiful, though. The puzzles are good (I never got stuck for more than a minute or so) and there's a bunch of interesting characters. And one of my plot predictions (which I can prove I made in March 2013) turned out to be true in the climax. I'm still prepared to bet that my other prediction will occur in Part 2.

There were a few graphical glitches, mainly character's necks appearing above their heads on a few occassions. One time Shay's mouth disappeared. My main annoyance is the way that they handle save games. There's no way to quit without saving, no way to delete savegames, and no way to load games short of quit-and-autosaving-thus-possibly-overwriting-the-game-you-want-to-load and loading it from the main menu.

JBot: It's not as good as Grim, but it stands up well compared to Tim's other Lucasarts games.

I've got four 25%-off Steam bejiggers if someone wants one/several.

No, you can't take all four and get the game for free.

[Nate]

Why did you get four? I only got two!

[Wings of Fire]

I'm pretty sure you get one for every Double Fine game you own. I have one for Psychonauts.

[Nate]

Each self-published Double Fine game you own, perhaps. There are five DF games on Steam and I own three of them. One of them is The Cave, which is published by Sega so it presumably doesn't count.

[MA]

yeah i got one too if any fucker wants it. i won't use it. i don't even know which game i have to warrant it.

[Varrok]

I have one, but I'll never give it to any of you!

There seem to be more Broken Age vouchers floating around than free copies of Portal. I've given up any expectation that I'll be able to offload mine.
