Sunflower is not a puzzle game guy, i gather. What is his niche, though? I thought it was Shmups, but i'm not sure.

[LockeVincent]

He doesn't really have a certain niche, although his favorites are fighting games.

Puzzle games are just not his thing though so Braid is a tough sell for him.

[Slunks]

Dead on. Really couldn't say it better myself, although you guys seemed lost at the time about the atom bomb, the way you presented how the game actually is was exactly right.

Great review!

[LockeVincent]

The story is definitely up for interpretation, but that is part of the beauty of the game.

@FrostyInfern0 you are the epitome of what an idiot represents...

They ruined the ending? So you can't read the caption that says "SPOILER ALERT"? Moron. Dumb. Dumb. Dummy. Apologize please. =)

Do you go to a store that reads "GROCERY" and become upset when you find groceries inside the store?

I'm sure you actually deserve to be alive, though... probably.... although it doesn't show.

THANKS RUINING THE FUCKING ENDING ASSHOLE. I'm buying super meat boy

[IronyIsGood]

my point is that they created a new area (with artwork) just for the trial and never used it for anything else.

[SheepFreak2]

@IronyIsGood

well read it.

'theres more in this world. but this is trial mode - buy the game'

[IronyIsGood]

what's that? (6:36) it's not in my game....? (not the dino, the area)

[froggatt300]

Bullshit

Bullshit

[TKnightcrawler]

If you guys want, I could explain where I got the atomic bomb out of the story. It pretty much pervades the story subtly.

[LockeVincent]

World of Goo and Braid are worlds apart - with the only factor that ties them together is the fact that they are indie games that are amazing.

$60 for Braid isn't really necessary as it is a pretty short and probably wouldn't be as successful at that price point.
