I kinda feel like an asshole for posting these before Hamst3r does Limbo (3 of 4) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOhYJ3JVgus[/media]
[QUOTE=Thunderbolt;32743970]I kinda feel like an asshole for posting these before Hamst3r does[/QUOTE] Consider yourself no such thing - it's awesome and I'm glad there are people other than me posting this stuff. Thanks. :3
Just went ahead and bought limbo because of your awesome videos.

I liked the ending to Limbo, was very fitting to the rest of the game. In other words, fuck all is explained.
[QUOTE=scotland1;32761691]I liked the ending to Limbo, was very fitting to the rest of the game. In other words, fuck all is explained.[/QUOTE] Actually if you read more into it, it was explained. The description of the game is a boy looking for his sister that was lost in the woods. At the end of the game he "finds" his sister but they both end up becoming lost in that forest and die. Notice at the end after the credits the ladder is now completely torn apart from age and (the video doesn't really show it) there are flies flying around what I assume to be the rotting corpses.
I was never really interested in sidescrollers but these videos make me want to play some
The ending was a bit disappointing. Otherwise the story progression in the game was amazing how it went from deep woods and slowly got more industrial. I wanted to know what was the deal with those kids though. Darn you, Mads Nielsen.

[sp]The boy and the girl are in limbo, the mythological place between heaven and hell. You can go to limbo if you die too young to make a decision about religion, that's why everyone in limbo is a child. The boy and girl both died falling from that tree fort. In limbo their tree fort is as they remember it(seen at the end of the game), but in reality (shown as the new title screen after beating the game) their bodies are rotting beneath the now decrepit tree house.[/sp]

I always thought it was like a broken railroad with a hanging ladder.
[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;32762861]That was a tree house? I always thought it was like a broken railroad with a hanging ladder.[/QUOTE] Well it's clearly a tree, coming out of the ground with a large branch sticking out. Now look on the side of the tree. Wood planks nailed into it, a classic way to climb up to a tree house. Also classically, a secondary rope ladder that can be thrown down for easier access. And kids play in tree forts, it all fits.
That made the game much creepier.
I woke up today and watched the last 5 Hamst3r videos in a row.
Go watch another one then Who's That Flying (1 of 3) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLVjAMp0NlI[/media]
Suddenly easy mode bullet hell at the end :v:

Oh shit another one [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2u7NZStTFis[/media] Pleasantly surprised that the Russian theme wasn't Korobeiniki Still sounded inspired by it though
And that's it, for now - it's back to work for me. :) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxnu1kPMbsk[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBXJFmd6P4U[/media]

[QUOTE=aydin690;32791401]Play witcher 2 next hamster.[/QUOTE] He doesn't like RPGs.
[QUOTE=Ultimate7MK;32792675]He doesn't like RPGs.[/QUOTE] But witcher games are more linear and story driven than your typical RPGs.

[QUOTE=Block;32799292]Why must all good things come to an end ;_;[/QUOTE] Take a look at simpsons for an answer.

[QUOTE=scotland1;32803249]It should have.[/QUOTE] Exactly.
