I mentioned this in another thread, but when LISA comes out, and even now with the vague hints to the plot, is great inspiration for a very bizarre and truly hellish postapocalyptic sausagefest. The latest trailer has even more tantalizingly excellent fuckery than I knew of from the first teaser demo and info on certain game mechanics and themes. My favorite bits that really show what this game is about are when/how the "big bad gang leader" rides on up, Brad's memories of his and Ricky's lives before all... THIS, paired with Brad's angry beatdown, (What the FUCK did you do, Ricky? Jesus...) and finally, Timmy Carrots and Percy Peas biting the big one. Death, even the deaths of your adversaries, hit hard. I think that battles always end with the same tune, "Gotta Die Sometime." Either you hear it at your victory(?) or the Game Over screen. You don't win because you're a "hero" or "special," and sometimes deaths don't mean all whole lot. One dies, the other continues fighting. It's kinda senseless, but sometimes you can't avoid it. Then the next bit of media on Greenlight is the goofy teaser from early on. "The end of humanity? ... The end of humanity." It's also interesting the see the spider mazes from the spiritual precursor make a return. Yes, that's Brad's face.

Man, I wish I'd had the money to support the Kickstarter.

There are a lot of other things I want to mention here, but it's easier for me to do them one at a time. I think I've got about 3 more things to mention here, one for the '"different" apocalypse' thread, and another idea that would work best as a new thread.

For any game that used a d6, I found out about Doublesix Dice when by looking for soundtrack info for the first Lisa game, stumbling upon the Kickspy page for its spiritual successor, LISA the painful RPG, which barfs forth all sorts of apocalyptica, and seeing Doublesix Dice among the also backed list. Do such dice seem like a good idea/investment or a stupid one?

Thanks, man. I understand about things taking time to get done and the fact that it can take time to just get every thing in place to get started. You're great. You're really on top of things, and you're just really cool about things.

Someone else actually posted a link somewhere presenting that as an example of a Savvyhead. I can't figure out who or where. Wish I could give credit where credit is due.

I actually decided to find something to lock the mouse to the monitor so it wouldn't go over to the TV and lose focus, and finally finish Hotline Miami tonight. Is is me, or are the Biker levels really easy? I feel like I died a lot less and got much better rankings on those levels.

Have you seen the preview footage for the sequel? I understand why they chose the song Beams by the band Tape as the theme for the teaser trailer. It really is emblematic of the tone of the game. I mean the last scene of the demo is intense. It seemed funny at first, but quickly became awful and sad. Not really horrifying, because it was a foregone conclusion. And then the demo cuts to a Game Over screen with Beams playing. Cactus and Dennis are masters of fuckery.

Sorry for the derail. I just fucking love h?u?r?t?i?n?g? ?o?t?h?e?r? ?p?e?o?p?l?e? Hotline Miami. At some point soon I want to make some Hotline Miami-themed supplemental masks for the Faceless. They wouldn't just be rewards; as relics of 50 Blessings, and Jacket in particular, they serve as a vehicle to introduce fuckery into the game. I want to try and build some fuckery into the masks by detailing their agendas as mentioned by the Norman move. I imagine Rasmus as having an obsession with secrets, practically hoarding them, and lashing out in a hostile, accusitory, recriminating manner at the wearer. "I don't know you! Why are you here? You're no guest of mine!"

As the title says, I can't preview posts. The preview never loads. Also, I can't send private messages. I lost the first draft of a message to benhamill finding out. I managed to save the second draft, and added a rant to the third attempt, which still didn't work. You see, it takes a long time to try and send the message, and then it gives some error. If you need to know what the specific error is, I can find out. I'm sick of copy/pasting everything into Notepad out of fear of losing it.

I'm confused by the names you rattle off as "just straightforward additional characters." You mention "the faceless, the hoarder, the maestro d', the restless, the touchstone" - wait, what restless? Is this an early name for one of the playbooks? It just really piqued my curiosity.
I love all the material that's new to me, namely the space marine mammal, the supplemental walkingsuit rules, the large-scale weapons and harm rules, and oh boy, the Macaluso. I was expecting the Space Marine Mammal, and I knew there would be an additional playbook- I had no idea... holy shit, a fucking hivemind! Your playbooks are never boring, and now they're beyond interesting. I was excited about the SMM, but the Macaluso blew me away.
I felt like there was something else I wanted to say, but I can't think of what it is anymore. Oh well, maybe later.

Shit, man. I can't figure out if Fiona Glenanne is a Gunlugger or an operator. I just looked at the playbook, and of course, she's a Gunlugger with Moonlighting. I need to find a group, because the best way to get to know a game it to actually play it.

razorwise over at Reality Blurs is curious about the bone dice. I figured I'd post my response on both boards.
I've been holding out. They're not gonna get cheaper and it's still gonna be a while before I get a job. I'd feel I could spare the money if not for the three Kickstarters I jumped on: Code Monkey Save World for $35, Golden Sky Stories for $115, and OVA Revised for $15. They were too good to pass up. I'll probably spring for the dice when tremulus ships.
Later I think I'll try to make a dice bag based on the bags containing the other three victims tongues from Corpse Party. They're bloodstained hemp bags. Sachiko's bag's design doesn't work as well as the drawstring ones, I think. Be warned, there are major spoilers, but you can see here. I just think that'd be a KVLT dice bag for bone dice.
