IT'S VOTING TIME. LET'S DO THIS.
Loading ...
[..YouTube..] nice
[..YouTube..] Definitely voting for Squid Yes! Not So Octopus because warbus was absolute awesomeness.
[..YouTube..] i love chinese food day
[..YouTube..] hah..i just spent the last 20 minutes beating Xycle…i almost shot myself but it was fun
[..YouTube..] Man, the cameraman is really slow at giving you eggrolls.
[..YouTube..] I know. It’s total bullshit.
Don’t think I’m not aware of it.
[..YouTube..] subscribe people!
[..YouTube..] great episode
[..YouTube..] great episode
[..YouTube..] But he’s “your partner” teehee
Anyway, you guys fucking rock. Just thought I’d chuck that out there
[..YouTube..] But he’s “your partner” teehee
Anyway, you guys fucking rock. Just thought I’d chuck that out there
[..YouTube..] Definetely Xycle. Who doesn’t like a challenge?
[..YouTube..] I don’t get to eat Chinese food ever :( I love eggrolls!
[..YouTube..] Voting for Xycle this time, cause it pisses me off just like that Megaman X2 level did back in the good old days. Ah, how nostalgic.
[..YouTube..] You know what was even worse? That forced scrolling level in Mega Man 8.
“Jump-a! Jump-a!” “Slide-a” “Slide-a”
[..YouTube..] Listen to the man, he knows what he’s talking about.
Get back on the roof Carboni! Don’t care if it is cold just do it!
[..YouTube..] Haha, I remember that. That was Tenguman’s stage.
Precision jumping + auto scroll =loads of fun without frustration? I think not.
[..YouTube..] i found out about evacuation a day before watching this
[..YouTube..] NOOOOOOOO! WE WERE TOO LATE!
Hehe glad to see oddBob’s game was on this episode.
Awesome!
“Don’t just say I can have your eggroll give me your eggroll”
That should be the slogan for the show or something! It’s pure awesomeness. I never thought you could put pure unadulterated awesomeness into a video. You managed to do it.
I’ll leave an audio comment one of these days. (I can’t leave video, no cam)

Hey, is lo mane included in those “production costs” that Gamefly helps cover?
Gamefly stipulates that they will only cover chow mein. Which, as we all know, sucks.
We got screwed on this deal.
Ahhh! Yea!!!! Crayon Physics developer interview! AWESOME! I wonder what inspired him to create the game. (How do you talk people into getting onto the show?)
Anyway, Anthony, when the weather gets warmer are you going to get back on the roof? I miss your rooftop! And I don’t know how much you get messed up on for the GameFly deal; who doesn’t love Chinese food on some level? Also, talk them into changing it into lo mein… Pasta, the best food in the world!
@Evan – I usually just tell the developers I know where their kids go to school, and then threaten to go there.
Also: don’t worry, everyone. We will be out of the Crazy Space Dimension and back on the roof once weather permits. ‘Cause I love you guys, I really do, but not enough to get walking pneumonia.
Maybe just regular pneumonia.
I’d probably vote for Xycle on this one, mainly because frustrating games also = addicting games. Man I wish my morals told me not to though…
Also, WHAT IF I DON’T WANT TO RECORD A VIDEO COMMENT?!?!?! Some of us have issues, you know?
Also, Anthony (aka admin), in the winter, we could just do Bytejacker: Inflammation of the Lungs Edition, and then everyone would be happy.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
MOPSICAL IS VOTING!
WE WIN!
(also… just record a video comment, dude)
I think everyone should record a video comment this week eating chinese food.
EGGROLL!!! :-D
anthony be sure to check out alien deathmatch 2.
its an arena shooter…and an extremely good one!

Psych!
I am eating Noodles as I watch this too.
It must be a sign.
I am eating German food! Because I’m German. Om nom nom, om nom.
Great episode, I only wonder how could you eat Chinese food with a fork, what an insult :)))))). it’s a pity games are tiny this time, I would love something for at least a day to stick with.
Well my vote goes… to… well, I didn’t vote, what a twist :)
I gave you Petri. Can I have that eggroll? ;)
@Ori – Watching me eat with chopsticks is funny and more than a little bit sad. It’s super odd, since nine meals out of ten I eat some sort of Asian food.
im eating a chopstick because im hungry
Read it for once, Anthony. It said I’d probably vote for it. My morals have not changed, unfortunately for you.
Also, I prefer to keep this Cave Story avatar as an accurate reperesentation of my face, thank you very much. Also, I hate chinese food, so do you want to watch a video comment of me throwing up?
@Mopsical – You’d be the first to leave one this week. . . . . so . . . . yes.
Aw man, video comments? Chinese food?
Why, Anthony? Why? How must I hold up my spiel, pretending to be a 19 year old brunette girl named Amanda, when you force me to shed my cloak and show my true self to those venerable individuals gathered here.
I turn towards the camera and a single tear rolls down my right cheek.
Also, my vote goes for Xycle because I hate. I hate it with a PASSION.
It’s Xycle for me; the gameplay scratches this masochistic itch I have, the simple aesthetic looks really cool (especially with the colour scheme from the first level) and if you pay attention to the music there’s a small segment which sounds like the Carl Douglas classic Kung Fu Fighting.
That last part might just be in my head.
Quick, someone save me…
WELCOME TO THE DANGERZONE {seesmic_video:{“url_thumbnail”:{“value”:”http://t.seesmic.com/thumbnail/wNJJsqNZDS_th1.jpg”}”title”:{“value”:”WELCOME TO THE DANGERZONE ”}”videoUri”:{“value”:”http://www.seesmic.com/video/N5JQFTnvYG”}}}
crap if xycle wins, the fact we all like being whipped by older women is gonna get so obvious.
Oh, thank god, thanks Lourens. Now I am officially saved from being globally humiliated.
GLOBALLY, LOURENS. GLOBALLY.
@Mopsical – You’re off the hook this time but next time maybe Lourens won’t be able to save you!
@Lourens – Nicely played sir!
Mopsical voted 3 times this week. I checked the voting logs.
STOP VOTING, MOPSICAL.
SERIOUSLY.
YOU’RE RUINING DEMOCRACY WITH ALL YOUR EXTRA VOTING.
Also: Lourens gets 3 Bytejacker credits for leaving a video comment eating on camera.
3 times? I specifically only voted one time last week for Spelunky (accidentally), and thats it!
Also, credits? I’m the one who’s already commented on this video 5 times, so I at least deserve some back!
Aw Mopsical, you ruined our plan to topple the Bytejacker government through vote sabotage by voting three times! Et tu, Mopsical?
I’d like to use my credits to bribe Jon or Anthony to set up a new bytejacker forums. Pwease :(

@Jeshi – Nice point with the control calibration on SY!NSO!; that was a great little touch.

Hey great stuff Bytejacker guys! Your show keeps getting better and better, awesome job, keep it up!
@peter – AWESOME! Epic video. Totally remind me of when my cousins and I would play games together growing up. You guys are hilarious!
@HandCraftedRadio – Thanks, dude!
Fact. Anthony makes fun me for traveling to a different state on occasion to eat good Chinese food.
No, Ted, that isn’t a fact. It’s a fact that I make fun of you for going to another state to get Panda Express from a mall food court.
Show me where the ‘good’ is in that, sir. I DARE YOU.
Bias-O-Meter=3 – The Xycle game required the Yoyo Plugin. This and the evacuation game is online only. I am good at shooting games.
Xycle is okay. It looks like the sort of game that could be established as a mini game and it has been. An editor could have done it better but if you are not a twitch gamer, maybe not. The fact it requires a particular site plugin may not compare favorably to some either.
Evacuation is an interesting strategy like puzzle game. Later levels do require some twitch reflexes to pull squids and not humans through the locks. But its not by any means overly pressuring to decide what to do. Good puzzle game, wish I could download it…
SYNSO is visually something you’d expect from makers of War Bus. Game play wise it takes me back to the Crystal Quest days where you do have to battle inertia as well as the enemies around you. The trick to easier maneuvering is just letting up on the speed. Slow down and you can even hairpin in the opposite direction to tackle those pesky pink chasers, with some distance of course. Good visually and physically twitching gaming.
@Chasofito – Xycle is available as a standalone, non-browser download. There’s no need for the Yoyo plugin if you don’t want it.
You’re right about the later levels of Evacuation requiring some good reflexes. It was nice to have the choice of either trying to solve your way out, traditional puzzle style, or brute force your way out with some fast reflexes.
Hey guys, I’m glad you guys like Xycle!
Anyway, like what Anthony said, there is a standalone version.
If you don’t wanna go to yoyogames, here’s the download link:

[..YouTube..] will you review an xbox live community game if one was given to you for free? we’re making one, so just curious…
[..YouTube..] Loving what you guys are doing, giving me lots to play with, can’t beat indie games!
I am not able to download Squids, so i vote for evacuation.
