This week we’re doing extreme sports the safe way by playing Aaaaa! We’ve also got your picks for the best games involving spaceships.
Radar: Aaaaa! – A Reckless Disregard for Gravity
Base jumping, grafitti tagging, and obscene gesturing make up the bulk of Aaaaa! – as well as the bulk of my exciting lifestyle. Let’s see if the game can live up to my reality.

Feedback: Best Spaceship Games

oh no. he’s dead.
hurray :D
I really wanted to like AAAAA! but I didn’t get on with the demo. I found the controls awkward, but then I suck at most games so it’s not really the game’s fault,
Some great looking free indie’s there, I shall endeavour to get back into doing video comments this week.

For those not in the know my favorite game of all time, OF ALL TIME, is the underrated classic Star Control 1. But that tends to be my answer to every question of the week, so this week instead of answering all you get is an eye roll.

Kabuki quantum fighter ftw :)
Have to agree with Joe Larson on the mathematic side of MMM as well. Fun game.Play Video Comment
Maths nerds unite!
Haven’t played the others yet, but MMM is ace.
Hey Joe, I here Madness Madness Madness 2 is coming out soon.

P.S.: ICO wasn’t really “underrated”, it only wasn’t commercially successful. Same goes for games like Beyond Good & Evil.

The most underrated videogame of all time? MySims. I’m not saying I particualarly like it, it’s that I think it’s a little better than Animal Crossing, yet it’s getting all the attention.

By the way, this is my imitation of those weird poems at the end of each round in MadnessMadnessMadness. I had to severely deepen my voice on Audacity so I didn’t sound like a 12 year-old on helium.
In my head it was Vincent Price.
By the way, my high score so far is 72.68.
108.55 at which point the was on my 3rd loop around the wall was moving as fast as I was, meaning those areas where you have to backtrack momentarily were bringing it closer and closer to you and there was no way to gain on the straights. If you were playing a perfect game I don’t think you could get more than 130.
If this game were done in a block coordinate system instead of polar would I enjoy it as much? Probably. It’d still have that cool duochromatic look, that frantic game play as you try to outrun the wall.
All I need now is for the poll to be updated SO I CAN VOTE FOR IT! What, are you too busy being dead to update your website?

Had to really crank up my volume and put on my headphones to hear you. You should be able on you tube to make that a video response to the episode too.
I had heard of carrier command and watched a let’s play video of it and was satisfied with that. Oh, it was cool and innovative, I thought, but way to hard with it’s old school limitations. Wouldn’t it be cool if someone remade it. Thanks for making me aware they did.
I love how Ken and Blanka are attacking your head in that video.
@cymon (joe?) thanks for the constructive criticism re the filming. I Filmed that using a sony HD camcorder I bought a couple of months back and haven’t really used for anything. i need to work out how to get it to record better sound. I’m gonna try using my either my old digital camera next time or even my cellphone if the sound continues to be an issue on that (or if I can get My logitech quickcam pro 5000 to play ball with the latest drivers >:( )
Oh, I’m the last person to criticize. I’m constantly trying to fix the sound in my videos and still have to deal with it. Constant struggle. I’m thrilled to see more people making comments. Just thought I’d let you know is all.
Criticism I usually keep to myself. Like if you were to film a video comment naked in the bath, I’d probably just not say anything.

Wow. I’m really surprised that a mod was actually mentioned on here. Good job, Bytejacker. Mods are independent too!
Hey guys! I’ve been watching for a few weeks now, but this is my first comment. (I tried last week, but it apparently got lost somewhere in the void.)
