    Yeah that's kind of the game. It's like GTA with super powers

    Run around killing everything, throwing vehicles, smashing stuff. Absorb civilians, throw cars as an old lady, etc.

    Yeah that Prototype 2 quicklook basically sold me on the game. I think the protagonists voice is funny as hell. The mechanics looks so much fun though. It looks as smooth as Infamous, but much quicker/easier to get around.

    Still not 60 bucks though. I'll wait for a year or so for a good steam sale.

    Prototype 2 is spleen loads of gorey fun. I definitely recommend buying it.

    i'm pretty sure the main characters are written to be emotionally unreliable, so you don't feel bad when they do bad things, or when bad things happen to them.

    Man, every time I see Prototype I want to play it because the mechanics look fun...

    ...but the protagonists seem like the biggest douches they could come up with then give superpowers.

    To be fair, Prototype 2 takes itself a lot less seriously then P1 did.

    The writing in this is much, much better than the show.

    This was not a very hard task, though.

    I've been telling people the game is awesome and they all go "no it isn't i don't believe you"

    And then I tell them it has nothing to do with the show

    And then they're onboard

    I finally played a match of SMNC, despite owning the original for a year.

    ... It seemed slow. very deliberate. My weapons didn't do jack as the assault class. I enjoyed myself, but it is way different than I am used to.

    The Botanicula quick looks is amazing. Vinny's kid is super lucky to have a dad that's going to be so apparently good at reading bedtime stories. I feel like actually playing the game wouldn't be as fun as watching him make all the little sounds and commentary about what is going on.

    Interesting.

    I decided to stop by Tested just now... Cool to see Brad on the podcast! And it's awesome that they are putting out a TON of content.

    But I noticed something interesting: The last time Adam or Jamie posted on the frontpage was March 26th. Since then, it's been Norm and Will (and 3 other employees, including one guy just posting app roundups) basically producing a TON of content.

    It's nice to see them taking to their new budget. But the website shouldn't have been rebranded so heavily.

    It should be rebranded if they want to get as many new readers as possible, though. Which is good for everyone, given that the guys that founded it are still there and can do even more than they could before.

    Agreed, it was just.. sudden, I guess? The content's even more awesome now, I just feel like it might be a bit of false advertising -- and I hope they are self sufficient, so the budget doesn't disappear.

    I honestly thought that Adam/Jamie's posts might be behind a paywall or something.

    I had to stop because I do not want to make any more of those decisions anymore.

    Not being able to just quit and retry (as far as I'm aware)

    everything was too stressful

    Might the mythbusters boys still be on tour? If so, than hopefully they will produce more/any content afterwards.

    yeah, it has much lower lethality compared to the first game

    oddly enough, earlier in the beta, players were even more resiliant

    I appreciate it friend, but it's fine. I might never play it, anyway. Wanted to grab one just in case, and I wouldn't take someone else's!

    I really need some good net by the time Counter-Strike GO comes along. I'm looking forward to that for some reason.

    well for what it's worth, I don't have the game either. I grabbed a code to give to my brother, but then he was like "dude I only have regular MNC and I don't see myself buying Super anytime soon"

    so this code isn't getting used by me
