Ep 34: Some Like it SUPERHOT



I really dig me some SUPERHOT! I’ve just short of hundred percent’d it, but am still hopping in on the reg for a little Endless or to replay a Challenge. I really dig the mechanics, all half puzzle / half action. And it looks great! I’ve been enjoying throwing on a podcast or some music, and just seeing how deep I can get in Endless.

I just wish I could inverse these rules. Maybe if I move really fast, time will speed up… and my Vive will finally get here. Time has been crawling since I put in my preorder. I am ready for some VR! Watching Oculus Rift people starting to get their units certainly isn’t helping… Though it is good to note that I should be getting it on the same date our next comic goes up. Lets see how thorough next Tuesday’s notes are, or if I just type in the word “Vive” 50 times and call it a day.

In the meantime, I’ve been doing a little backlog clearing. I’ve tried out and bounced off of a bunch of titles (Dex, Lick Dumb BattleMange, DeadCore, This War of Mine, Batman: Arkham Orange is the new Blackgate), but one has really stuck with me and kept me playing. I’m not sure if I can wring a comic out of it, but Life Is Strange is pretty amazing. It’s what Telltale would have done years ago if they hadn’t found something that worked and settled. It’s insane that the indie choose-your-own-adventure house is tossing out licensed work, while the real auteur feeling shit is coming from a big publisher like Squeenix.

All right everyone, I’m out! Enjoy your week! If Foxmime goes with the comic I’m thinking she will, you’ll be in for a real treat next Tuesday.
