Not everything is what it seems, guys. This one time I ordered X-Ray glasses from the back of a comic book and they didn’t work at all, except on fat armenian men. Reminder: bleaching your eyes doesn’t make them unsee anything. What I’m saying is you can’t really judge something until you’ve experienced it. When I first saw Puzzle Dimension, I thought “oh boy, more Marble Blast.” But what I actually got was a real, honest-to-god puzzler with some nice platforming and a lot of variety.

Needs more Appa! Oh well, at least you remembered to be lighthearted about it, unlike some other filmmakers.
Haven’t played Cut It yet, but looks super cool. Looking forward to it!
Dude, saw your Facebook status a little while ago. You okay?
No sweat, suburban mother in a sickeningly pristine SUV doesn’t bother looking at the crosswalk directly in front of her while turning into oncoming traffic. Pushed me five feet, didn’t even get off the bike. Probably scratched her bumper though, HA!
thanks for giving us a stumping question, but i know my answer.
I WANT WARIO’S PIMP ASS RIDE!!!!
Dude for some reason I find it hilarious that you want Wario’s PIMP ASS RIDE!! It’s so fitting for you, see!

take that mustache off cause i can’t even grow one! ughhhh lol funny funny but but yeah that was not so cool lol.
I would like Epona. From Ocarina of Time. You know, because its Epona.
Because I love grappling hooks, and I looked up the definition of a vehicle and they fit, my pick is Spencer’s (or anyone’s, really) grappling hook.
the 60 seconds link is not working, it links to fault line.
Waiting for book two! I also played 60s to Save the Queen before this show, and it was awesome.
Whoops, spoke too soon.
[...] the same night that John Rivera was busting it all night to make an awesome Bytejacker I was up fiddling with the code for fireworks. Why were we both awake way past our bedtimes on the [...]

Indie Pick – Cut It
Feedback – Pocket Rocket : Earthworm Jim
Okay. It’s nitpick time!
Honestly, I not liking the sketches that much. And I’ll telly you a big reason why. Yeah, yeah, I know what your gonna say. But, dude, it’s all for the drama man! But, after watching last week I really got concerned about my own attitude at work. Am I a completly different person at work? Or am I always a total d* head? I asked my GM and she nearly had a stroke. (mostly, because I’m not supposed to use those words, out of personal preference). But mostly due to the fact that I never am really.
Another thing that got me was the whole angry, vilont nerd hate thing. You know the thing with A-train (even though he deserved it, show wise), and the whole roof thing episode (still dissapointed you haven’t done a lotr parody yet). But still, I honestly don’t think that your drama personalities mesh well with the shows history. If I was to go back and watch the first few episodes and even some of the pre-sketch episodes, I’d think I’d be watching an entirely different show.
I mean, you still got your radar, rapid fire, feedback, countdown ads, etc and all, but maybe its just different with the drama. But is it really a better different? Sure you can get bored a little by doing the same thing every show, but I also think, why change what’s working right? I mean, what should I be griping about, come on, it’s just acting? Well, okay, let’s take a look at show history. I mean, it’s obvious with just a few episodes that this isn’t your guys’s normal personality.
If your a fan that checks into history and all the extra community behind the scenes stuff, you gotta be scratching your head. The birthday thing for headphonic, the john do the whole t-pain impression (at least I think that’s who he was trying to impersonate). Anthony popping up here on days he has off of work and chat with the community. Being worried about indie developers and what happens to other fans? You can’t honestly tell me that there isn’t a personality clash going on here.
But eh, come on. It’s just drama right? It’s just a couple guys acting stupid for the fun of it right? Just toss in a review now and then and your good. Who cares if we act stupid on our own internet show. Come on, it’s the internet right?
And I think that’s all I should type really before I run out arguments. Hopefully I’ll get to play some of the free indies this week and have some feedback.
I think the reckless, devil-may-care, goofiness-for-the-sake-of-doing-what-feels-good-and-makes-ourselves-laugh, audience-be-damned attitude of the sketches perfectly reflects that of the entire indie game scene.
Also, Anthony’s a Brooklyn hipster, and the number one thing Brooklyn hipsters do is make fun of Brooklyn hipsters. It’s what they’re for! They did plenty of similar stuff in the earlier shows (zoo footage on the screen behind Anthony’s head, getting mad at a fan in the army for telling Anthony to be a man and go on the roof in the snow), it’s just that now they have more energy, time and money to do more. Plus they had to get HD cameras to shoot for Rev3 and what’s the point of having all that extra definition in the video if it’s just the same guy standing there on the same roof week after week? LASERS, that’s what the kids really want!
Lots of Rev3 shows are just someone talking to a camera in HD. In fact Bytejacker is like the only one that actually does stuff like this. Well, maybe CoOp too, but I don’t watch that one.
I love these skit, tho I do wish that once in a while they’d just do a roof episode. Just plain, simple, on a roof episode. Give themselves a break.
Oh, and what’s up with the birthday? Not celebrating it this year because of the whole Rev3 thing? Which birthday do you celebrate? Birthday or Rev3 day? Is that why we haven’t heard anything about it this year?

This week’s feedback? Either Perfect Dark’s hoverbike, or……
Wait, is an Arwing a vehicle?
Apparently (according to wikipedia) a vehicle includes boats and PLANES. This changes everything. But animals still apparently don’t count, so Epona is out of the question.

FIRF – 60 Seconds to Save the Queen.
Feedback – TRON’s lightcycle. Pocket sized transportation with anti-road rage measures built in.
Top notch episode this week guys. Any episode with Ella gets bonus points, but then the comic timing and Anthony’s excellent physical acting, super episode from start to finish.
Plus I consume my other son in this comment.
As an aside, this was done in one take, which is unusual for me.
Click to play this video.
I actually wasn’t asking about the SF ep. I meant in this ep when you were walking down the street checking your texts from Ella. That wasn’t tripod word. Was Anthony filming?
But speaking of the SF thing, I feel like it got totally glossed over. No blog post, no flip cam footage. At least Anthony can pop in a video comment here telling us all about it. I’d love to hear about it. Why was he going (and why didn’t Jon)? What happened while you were there (aside from having a hard time finding your baked goods)? Tell.
Oh, and Jon’s all nighter report for those who missed it:

whyd your son flip off the camera (he said as he flipped off joe larsons son)
He didn’t. He was poking me. He does have this thing, tho, where he extends an index finger in what would look like flipping the bird, but it’s just one of his motions. Here, check it out:
