hmm. it's a bit long and unfocused for mst3k fodder due to being made and released alongside the game's development but i can see some :eyepop: when schafer actually audibly makes an obvious bad decision onscreen

might be fun

Double fine also has a book of bad comics floating around, apparently they doodled comics all day instead of making decent games or something.

the coders are definitely doing their job if the documentary is anything to go by, as are the artists. tim kinda molyneux'd it up by not having a story ready to go (it took him 3 years to write, afaik :negative::confused:)

For one Peter Molyneux there are 50 video games journalists getting paid to write absolute garbage and contribute nothing in life except commenting on programming that they're too dumb to learn.

Basically every video game journalist is a less talented Peter Molyneux

yeah, i wish that every once in awhile a real journalist would write an article about video games, because it's not like they actually would know any less about the subject matter, and the quality of their would make it worth paying attention to for two seconds. Of course then they would get flamed off the internet.

This is objectively true. The problem is that Molyneux is full of poo poo. I don't think he can help it.

This. Why are so many indie devs good at making crowd funded or early access games, but these titans of industry cant find their rear end with both hands.
