Looks like all that smoking finally caught up to Carboni, who sounds a bit like your scary great aunt this week. That doesn’t stop us from checking out the new online steampunk indie Guns of Icarus, though, or from finding out which games you think got slighted in the Free Indie of the Year nominations.
Radar: Guns of Icarus
Muse is a new online platform powered by the indie favorite Unity engine. Their new game, Guns of icarus, puts up to four players in control of a rickety airship in a multiplayer steampunk-gasm. Does the gameplay live up to all the delicious memes baked into the product?

C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!
1) Pandemic 2 is pretty addictive. I forget what else came out that week that made me push it aside.
2) Nice impression.
3) There is no three! [/jeffgoldblum]
Hahaha, awesome apple ad!
But, does that mean my third comment is ousted?
Can we all agree to stop developing games I want to play in Unity please? Thanks.

How the hell did this guy get through the spam filter?
We kid because we love, Joe, you know that. :)
Oh absolutely. This sort of thing can get out of hand quickly, and I was afraid that my response would be too much. But it’s good that our relationship has gotten to the point that we can kid like that. Which is really something considering we’re never met in real life.
The description mentions that next week’s question is the same as this week’s feedback, might wanna fix that.

Yep, I’m a nerd. By the way, my last name is pronounced like the vegetable. ;) Guys, you all rock! Joe, the Rabbit and you too Brent! :)
That was a priceless moment Joe.
YOU DARED FORGET WHAT ASCIIPortal was? YOU MUST DIE! (Oh yeah that’s just a really cheesy Zelda CD-i reference that I did really badly). Yeah, Bytejacker, I am going to stop subscribing to you, and everyone who likes ASCIIPortal is too, because ASCIIPortal was awesome, and by you ignoring it’s existence: REVISION3 MUST DIE!

Dude! He was kidding! Chill out!
Alright, I’ve officially lost track of who’s kidding and who’s not. All in favor of ragging on Joe for absolutely no reason because he’s our friend and that’s what friends do for reasons we never understood but were deeply ingrained in us by public education and peer pressure, raise your hand.
*raises hand*
Alright, in that case, Joe, I know we’ve had many chats and even a couple of joke rivalries on these here comments, but I just want you to know that ASCIIp0rtal is a stupid, awful, terrible game that never made me laugh once and certainly not smile for ten minutes at a time as I played so that my cheeks hurt when I went to do anything else, and even though I told you it was fantastic during beta testing I was lying because you are a poopyface and I hope the next bag of Cool Ranch Doritos you buy is actually Tacos at Midnight flavor packed in the wrong bag. I hope this because it will be both an unpleasant surprise when you are expecting a familiar flavor and also a pleasant surprise because Tacos at Midnight is rather nice. I also have no idea if you like Doritos, which will make it all the more surprising. In conclusion, somethingsomethingsomethingyouhavetoburnthesomething
EVERYONE JUST CALM THE FUCK DOWN.

-Danny (Coolio-Niato) [awesome show btw]
Yo, dude! Good to see you here!
For those of you that haven’t played Danny’s stuff, DO IT. It’s awesome. We talked about one of his games back in episode 48: http://www.bytejacker.com/episodes/048
Oh yeah? Which one was that? FallOver! by Hempuli or FallOver! by Hempuli. Need to fix the description on that vid there. Funny thing is the link is good.
IIRC, didn’t he come in 3rd the next week? I know he didn’t beat Anna.
EDIT: Yup, 3rd. But it’s all good.
Every time I hear a hint of the upcoming XBLIG episode I get a bit sad. My current project Battle Beat is in the FINAL stages of testing but probably won’t come out until late December, so I’ll probably miss submitting for the episode :(. Unless of course, you want a download code for a virtual Christmas Tree. I mean, if it’s on XBLIG it’s clearly a game right? I wouldn’t submit to XBLIG and visit Bytejacker and talk about a non-game XBLIG App… that’s preposterous!
Hey, just to let you guys know, I asked my video be removed but it isn’t… I read the question wrong, and obviously thanksgiving has nothing to do about christmas. But yeah, we don’t celebrate thanksgiving in canada :/ I don’t at least

Can’t be arsed re-recording the whole 7 mins so I’ll correct myself in text. I would like to state that i made an error in referring to “Ben there, Dan that” (which is free). I should have referred to “time gentlemen, please”.

Just to, you know, brag a little: I have had the pleasure of buying both Ben an Dan a pint from an overpriced London boozer. Just thought I’d casually mention it so you all know how cool I am.
What do you mean I’m a dick?
Laurence, I got your comment and I’m mulling it over before I respond.
@ian, Like myself (and yourself for that matter) Ben And Dan are both male and from Britain. Ergo I’d e willing to bet that they, Like myself would willingly accept a pint from anyone :P

[...] Wednesday, and it’s been getting attention from others including a strong revenge showing on Bytejacker. That’ll teach them not to send me the accolades. Speaking of which IGF is currently judging [...]
Is it just me? or is riffly down at the moment? =/
It’s up for me, but I’ve noticed it is down from time to time.
Hmmm… Riffly’s indeed being a bit iffy. BTW I just completed Ascii portal, and This is what I have to say about the final level: :P
