Yeah, but it reminded me of the other quote.

I’m curious, what voice to people hear these lines in, the default epic male announcer voice, or the super horny female announcer alternative?

“Join the army, they said.”

“See the world, they said.”

“I’d rather be sailing!”

“Stay awhile and listen.”

Yakuza maps have never been particularly huge. Even in the most recent game, the new map is maybe on the scale of GTA III or Vice City. Still, they manage to pack 15-20 minigames into each game’s word map, some of which involve driving or riding around the map, plus the inevitable scavenger hunts and hidden collectibles.

Next up: Skyrim. “Hey, you. You’re finally awake.”

Such an upgrade over the previous two. Three whole cities to explore, plus the countryside. They managed to stream the world data from the disc as you moved about, so no more loading screens between islands like III and VC had. This was the first GTA where you could swim, so water was no longer a death trap, and the first to introduce skills, so you could swim further and faster as you got better.

Is that DJ GabeN dropping beats on the Deck’s screen?

8bitdo is having an 11th anniversary sale right now, too.

Setting the release schedule around vacations and holidays. Sounds like the devs have a respectable work / life balance.

The big thing to differentiate 7D2D is every seventh night you’ll be besieged by a zombie horde. You spend the week reinforcing your defenses, stockpiling ammo, and upgrading your gear, then you’re tested. If you’re interested in this kind of game loop, it’s worth a in-game week or two. Like many of these games, they’re more fun with friends.

This game has been in Early Access so long it’s lost all meaning. Good for the devs, I guess, to continue to put time and energy into the game for so long.

I thought Notch was employee #1 of Mojang.

This was my motivation for getting one. I work from home, and my work laptop and my gaming PC share a desk, thanks to a pair of KVM switches. Sometimes I don’t feel like spending my evenings in the same chair I spent the day in, and enjoy flopping down on the couch with the Deck in handheld mode.
