/r/ More team ups of Sterling and Holmes.

What I love about Tron Knotts videos the most, is how many expressions he has.

Happy




Concerned


Really happy


Sadness


Really concerned


What


I was surprised how quickly I could catch these beautiful manspressions. And how Jim doesn't change his as much.

Working with Holmes is like, one of my favorite things.

I want the series to be called "Sterling & Holmes." No characters, no stitch, and all facial expressions. Just pure man on man opinion action.

If you guys did that, I'd give that at least two snaps. Maybe even two snaps in a circle if it was particularly well produced!

I'd agree to that series only if Chad Concelmo makes occasional cameos as our eccentric neighbor.

I really need to try this because all the videos (while oh so beautifull!) don't look that fun.

All those who have played the game epress a different opinion though so :)

Jim was pretty annoying. "ITS MADE OF STRING!" Yeah, we heard you the first time. If you cant think of anything to say don't just repeat your last comment over and over again.

Also, why does the camera have to be pointed at your ugly mugs? Why does the cameraman do that? Shoot the fucking game, not the journalist. Fire your cameraman. You guys go to PAX the check out the games, but half the time the camera is pointed at you guys. I want to see the fucking game, not you. Nobody wants to watch your stupid facial expressions while you play this game. Just like in porn when the camera is on the guys face when he's cumming.

Again, the game is much more important than your face.

wish I could see the video. I'm actually more interested in the reactions than the game.

Also this just made me sad on another post: Enslaved's presentation is worth the price of admission alone; the fact that the gameplay is so well-crafted as well is just a bonus.

But now I'm happy again

Just tell me why you guys shoot the journalists more than the game. Just a simple question.

"Just tell me why you guys shoot the journalists more than the game. Just a simple question."

Because people like it. People who aren't you. Almost everyone else in this thread, in fact.

Supply and demand, son. Simple concept. <3

If you want to see the game in action so badly I'm sure there are plenty of gameplay videos on youtube, you don't have to watch this, it's not the only video. I'd much rather have some shots of our quirky journalists and the game rather than just have a constant shot of the game. That would be kind of boring.

Jysky0 has it exactly correct. When there's straight video footage, we always post it. Nobody wants to just watch a video solely consisting of a camera pointed at a TV screen, though. At least, I don't.

We try to make things more interesting and fun, and generally our audience enjoy them. Just make sure you watch gameplay trailers from now on, Saladin, since that's your thing.

Choice! We can has it!

So Jim, aside from 'String!' did you also think this game feels like pants, as Kirby himself put so beautifully?

Can you not take damage in this? It didn't seem so from the video. I'm not saying that's a bad thing in itself (I think Nintendo did it before on the handheld Wario platformers) but it doesn't seem as though there's a great deal of challenge in terms of navigation or puzzles (or anything else) to compensate. The game looks great, but hasn't convinced me that actually playing it will be up to much.

Xandaca:

Kirby collects coins that act like Sonic's rings, coming out when he takes damage. He can't die, but the coins are part of a scoring system, so damage = less points.

I'm not entirely sure how I feel about that yet, but the gameplay itself is still incredibly delightful and it didn't seem to matter while I played it at PAX.
