Great Episode, I picked up World of Goo when it was released on Monday. I have been watching bytejacker since I saw it as a featured channel on miro. Good stuff keep up the good work!

[..YouTube..] Tuck roll? Possible nikujin reference?
October 16th, 2008 at 5:29 am
Awesome episode! I loved Meat Boy! Platformers FTW.
October 16th, 2008 at 5:32 am
cool episode…. again

“If I tucked and rolled I could make it”
I was laughing so hard.
I was waiting for your World of Goo review. Nice job, I agree with everything. Stunning game!
Seems I’m going to need to try Meat Boy. I had seen it in the past, but it didn’t look fun. Maybe I should try it.
Good point about the iPhone games.
Another great episode!

[..YouTube..] YAY! Bytejacker supports World of Goo!
It’s an awesome game.
October 16th, 2008 at 6:49 am
I’m really happy with the games we were able to cover this episode. This was a rough week, because all the games were so addictive I couldn’t put them down to actually WORK ON THE EPISODE.
@Bergotronic - I had no idea we were featured on Miro! That’s awesome! I’ll have to check out the channel guide.
@Bazooka137 - Meat Boy rules. The “Salt Factory” cut scene cracked me up when I first saw it.
@AuthenticKaizen - You got in early this week.
Thanks again!
@Elmernite - Yeah, I think I’m getting a little stir crazy on the roof.
All you guys should join the forums and introduce yourselves!

[..YouTube..] World of Goo now owns all my free time. I can’t stop.
October 16th, 2008 at 11:49 am
Hey hey !
Our weekly essential injection of indie games !
Anthony, and all the team, again : you really made a great job.
Thank you for talking about Diver ! :o)
After 2 weeks of pure fun, my co-workers and I have finally finish his 30 levels ! ^_^
World of Goo seems to be the best 2008 indie game !
October 16th, 2008 at 12:00 pm
@Gorthal - Thanks for suggesting it! It was great!
If you send your mailing address to games@bytejacker.com, we’ll send you something for suggesting it!

[..YouTube..] This is an awesome video as always! Keep it up!
October 16th, 2008 at 1:48 pm
yeah i thought: well its thursday….lets visit bytejacker and see if a new episode is online…
world of goo seems to be a great game…
cool free games that you mention this time.
skullpogo…pure greatness! made it into the hiscore list.
meatboy… well deisgned wall jump platform fun.

Out of curosity, why did you choose a wednesday update schedule? The only reason I mention it is Yatzee’s videos also come out on Wednesday. It’s probably not a big deal, but it would stagger my personal web browsing and keep me up to date. I suggest Tuesday or Thursday. (Actually, I’d love it if Yatzee were Tuesday or Thursday too. Wednesday is just a big update day for a lot of web pages.)

[..YouTube..] I love meat boy.
Ever since it was featured on newgrounds I cant stop playing it
October 16th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
[..YouTube..] Meat boy was fun, world of goo was also good. Mm, thinking of iphone still as a a phone with music in it, games are a good idea, but as mentioned a full fledged gaming platform is this kinda iffy.
October 16th, 2008 at 4:21 pm
[..YouTube..] I don’t necessarily think the idea of the iPhone as a gaming platform is iffy — I personally just think developers aren’t APPROACHING it like a game platform. Getting a few major veteran developers making stuff for it might change that.
Thanks for watching!
October 17th, 2008 at 1:07 pm
I always find at lease one new game to play that I’ve never heard of from ByteJacker..
Keep ‘em comin!
October 17th, 2008 at 3:51 pm
[..YouTube..] Great show as always. World of Goo is amazing, but getting OCD on each level is hella hard.
October 17th, 2008 at 5:34 pm
@Joe Larson - New episodes post at 12:01 AM every Thursday, EST.
Sometimes a little earlier, sometimes a little later. But we always shoot for midnight on Thursday.
@Monkeystick - Will do, dude!
October 17th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
[..YouTube..] You know what else would be an awesome platform for World of Goo? The iPhone.
October 17th, 2008 at 10:29 pm
[..YouTube..] Oh, totally. THAT would be amazing.
October 18th, 2008 at 7:38 am
Fantastic episode as usual. Could you take a look at Portal: Prelude in your next episode?
October 18th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
[..YouTube..] Good episode. I reckon you should do an episode on uncovered gems that no-one has really heard of, cause I’ve seen most of these games on tigsource and I’d want to find out about more games instead of the ones i’m familiar with
October 19th, 2008 at 3:40 am
[..YouTube..] Great episode. World of Goo is amazing. Keep spreading the word.
October 19th, 2008 at 7:16 am
[..YouTube..] Great job as always.
You deserve more subscribers! ;D
October 19th, 2008 at 8:39 am
Great episode, great podcast! Exceptionally well done!!
October 21st, 2008 at 6:40 am
I LOVE THIS SHOW. Please keep up the good work, every episode you hit on the games I used to spend hours researching each week!
October 21st, 2008 at 10:13 am
Well a big Duh on me.I guess I was checking it on Thursday, but I thought it was Wednesday and i was behind a day. Well my bad. You’re already more awesome than I thought.
October 21st, 2008 at 10:19 am
@MilkSaidThat - Excellent! That’s exactly what we want - eliminate all your hunting around and keep you PLAYING GAMES!
@Joe - It’s all good. I thought perhaps you were in a far-off time zone. I like to picture our fans chilling on the beach in Fiji on their satellite link-up, sipping whatever it is people sip in Fiji while they play video games.
October 21st, 2008 at 9:31 pm
I’ve come to accept that drinking “FIJI” water is the closest I’ll get to that scenario.
October 22nd, 2008 at 12:51 am
[..YouTube..] Very nice! I just got a recommendation to watch this, and after watching a couple of videos, have subscribed, it’s a very nice niche you’ve got here, and you cover it well.
October 25th, 2008 at 8:46 pm
[..YouTube..] hey you’re vids are great and i try most of the free indy games and they are fun as hell…..Im looking forward to more episodes…keep it up =D
October 28th, 2008 at 4:00 am
Great iphone tip, I think i will try to update our Rastamonkey game accordingly before it goes on the app store. Thx!
