📹 Blakeyrat's Videos Thread (Robots in the News et al.)
-
I got Savant Ascent on my phone from some humble bundle. Seemed a bit simplistic.
I don't know if the PC version is significantly different (at work right now and even though I only have a week left I'm not quite to the point where I'm just watching youtube all day)
-
Thinking of streaming after I grab some food... any interest in that here at all?
Maybe either Kerbal, or going through a series of indies I got installed.
-
Streaming Kerbal at:
http://www.twitch.tv/blakeyratUntil I get bored. (Note: Twitch and not Hitbox!)
EDIT: someone invited me to play Evolve, so I'm gonna do that instead. Thanks for joining the stream if you did.

New Discobug. Play a video, scroll down. The video reloads; awkwardly stopping. @codinghorrorbot @discoursebot if you'll please

New Discobug. Play a video, scroll down. The video reloads; awkwardly stopping.
Is this not the result of the intended behaviour of posts getting unloaded?
-
TIL discourse unloads posts. I mean, it makes sense since the content isn't on the page anymore. If something was actively playing I wouldn't want to get rid it though.
Not sure if you're able to tell the status of something that's embedded though.

ASA: A Space Adventure.
This is by far the worst game to ever appear on Robots in the News. It's also French. COINCIDENCE?!
-
-
I don't know what that title means.
I don't know, I find it pretty appropiate:
-
This is by far the worst game to ever appear on Robots in the News.
Even worse than Woodcutter Simulator??? Sorry to doubt you, but I find it hard to believe anything could be far worse than that.
-
I was able, barely, to accomplish a goal in Woodcutter Sim.
-
Good point. I suppose it is possible that a game could be even more broken, although being more boring and pointless seems hard to imagine.
-
Fun new discobug. Expand the Youtube player, close the expanded player, you scroll to the top loaded comment instead of the one with the video O_______O
-
Fun the video stops playing when you submit a post as well. WTF‽
I know, the Bugs category is that way.
-
I just looked up a walkthrough out of curiousity. I found out that:
-
You do indeed play as the idiot who used a gun to shoot his own safety line on a spacewalk.
-
You're supposed to somehow be able to enter the hall then "turn around" to look back towards the "you need a squared object" platform. Either I never found the place to click to turn around, or the error that as popping up every 30 second broke that. Who knows.
The recording is a trainwreck because I used some awful open source screen recorder on it. Naturally, it's made with some technology that's entirely immune to FRAPS and RAPTR so I couldn't use any normal working software to record.
In retrospect I should have run that monitor through my Hauppauge HDMI recorder box I use for Xbox stuffs and done it that way. But I'm not reinstalling that awful game.
-
-
An Error has occurred.

OK, that's genuinely bad. It's way worse than even Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing for its sheer awfulness. Truly sub-alpha quality. Well, unless the real adventure was on a meta level and required hacking via those dialogs or something. BUT WHY WOULD ANYONE DO THAT?!
Did you pay any money for it? If so, can you get that money back?
-
If I did, it was cheap.
-
-
Re-do of ASA: A Space Adventure, with a better capture.
-
I could almost see myself playing a game like this. If not for those stupid collect the crap parts, it would be like a normal scene-based adventure game.
-
I have two more hidden item games in my Steam library, I might do them all when I get bored.
EDIT: BTW those videos are scheduled for each weekday until Tues next week when you see the "shocking" ending.

Hidden object games are already fucking stupid, but there's a special level of hell for one which calls a cutting board a "trencher" or a starfish a "seafish".
-

Yeah, because a cutting board and a trencher are two different things -- you use a cutting board for prep, and a trencher to eat from.
Filed under: because cross-contamination is bad, amirite?
-
trencher
EDIT: about 50+ images in, there's a photo of something that resembles a cutting board.
-

Yeah -- trenchers were what were used in lieu of plates way back in the Dark Ages or so...
Doesn't have anything to do with a Ditch Witch though ;)

-
one which calls a cutting board a "trencher"
IF it's an eating board, not a cutting board, while still pompous, it might be correct.
But "seafish?" Yeah, no justifying that. (I just put that there that way to see if I could goad anyone into trying.)

No onebox on Skydrive? Lame.

Oh well thanks for responding to my small complaint with hundreds of lines of spam. We appreciate your contributions to this forum, you fucking idiot.

What is it showing in relation to you? None of the metadata that I can see states anything I can relate to, and there's nothing in the video or audio apart from in-game content. Are you the operator of the death laser that wins that match?
-
Yeah, I guess I could provide SOME background for people who don't play CoD. Those losers.
The space laser in Advanced Warfare is one of the "killstreak" weapons you can use. The game replays the last kill of a round in slow-motion before showing the score screen.
So what you're seeing is me using the space laser to kill a dude hiding inside a rock building, then the slow-motion camera trying to zoom in on his death-- the problem is the laser can penetrate the rock, but the killcam doesn't, so it kind of gets "stuck" in that wall.
I dunno, made me laugh at least.
-
It's not the type of game I play at all (I stick strictly to single-player games, usually strategy or loot-em-ups like Diablo) so my context was very limited. I have CoD played a few times (it was a long time ago) so I figured the broad-brush info.
Totally didn't notice the camera problems. Too busy trying to comprehend what preceded it to look for the WTF…

A let's play where I fail to even successfully launch the game.I think the idiots who packaged it for Steam left out a DLL.
