XNA Roundup #20 Weapon of Choice, Blow, Carneyvale: Showtime

[matthewdoucette]

Weapon of Choice boss at 2:47 is pretty amazing...

[slucchi723]

I have bought Blow and Carneyvale showtime and are fuckin awesome.

Artoon is awesome too.

[codeMonkey546]

Blazing Birds looks kinda cool.

[Chavez3d]

great job, for some reason I thought you had already done weapon of choice but I guess I am wrong. Keep'em comin

[nicktheduderino]

Thanks for watching anyway, I guess I can't just start publishing re-runs can I? You guys are too quick, lol.

[TledgEs]

Man blazing birds is awesome, i played the demo when it first came out, little hard to find a mode i could actually play but when i did.. it was FUCKIN HARD! XNA made games seem to have the nack for being extremely hard, which is great cause you have to actually learn how to play the game. Its a shame blazing birds is 800 points and gives carpel tunnel like no other game can

[nicktheduderino]

I'm thinking it might be because a lot of the guys who write xna games are uber hardcore gamers themselves, maybe?

[TledgEs]

Yes I assume that, its also that they develop for people like themselves rather than companies that set out with the intentions of pleasing the market. I went back to the blazing birds demo quite a bit more and it is fantastic fun, Even though i find myself yelling at the screen constantly, its a good "You bastard cheating son of a b*tch" you know the good kind where you feel like your playing against a friend on your couch. The AI has crossed that artificial barrier.

[DavidFlook]

Blazing Birds is only 400 points.

[TledgEs]

O wow, price decrease? Because i couldve sworn on my life it was 800 points in yet i am staring at it right now at 400 points Either its changed, or I am just stupid I am probaly just stupid, sorry bout that Its even more of a shame its not doing better Its a great game and quite cheap at 400 points, dunno why its not on the most popular list, probaly cause its not getting the same spotlight any other games are getting

Fatboy Slim's Weapon of Choice is said to be related to this. Now that would be cool, the song made as a video with the game.

[matthewdoucette]

it is??? i didn't think it was, but who knows....

[matthewdoucette]

love that you went back in time!

[nicktheduderino]

Haha, awesome!

I wanted to cover Biology Battle too, but the episode would have been too massive.

[byintyme]

This is motivating! Out of these home made games, I wonder how many were made by one person? Some these games seem like fun w/o all the "extra busy" that's in most games today.

[arrogancy]

Weapon of Choice was made by a couple of people, I believe. Blow by 1, I think. Carneyvale was made by a MIT/China (I believe) funded full fledged student game studio.

[nicktheduderino]

Thanks for jumping in Arrogancy, sometimes its hard to find a place for that stuff inside the video, but it is important and interesting.

[CGMossa]

As usual, top notch quality YT. Love it, digg it, rated it 10^6 stars, yet YT only allow 5.

Just wondering, will you review the games which is sponsering you?

WE WANT MORE XNA ROUND UP!!!

- Mossa Nova

[nicktheduderino]

Thanks so much  Mossa!

To answer your question, if I like the game I'll review it.

[BlackSpiderWolf]

Great show.

Since when can XBLCG have achievements.?

[matthewdoucette]

blazing birds is XNA, but XBLA not XBLCG

[BlackSpiderWolf]

Oh my bad.
