Streaming Machine for Pigs tonight

[schild]

Brofellos and I will be streaming Machine for Pigs around 8:30 CST (so 9:30 EST) tonight, as well as talking about Theros.

Couldn't figure out anything better to do for Friday the 13th because I'm old and don't want to go out and drink myself to death.

Why not drink yourself to death while streaming Machine for Pigs?

Can we start a drinking game?

Also, how are you streaming?

[Malakili]

I am assuming you'll be using the Drecktech channel?

[schild]

We'll be streaming at twitch.tv/drecktech. Or you can just go to drecktech.com and it's on the frontpage.

Might be a tiny bit later than 8, trying to finish wrapping a coil on the kayfun. The one I did last night is a ghetto piece of shit. Yay vaping.

[Brofellos]

GOOD EVENING CHIDRIN

[schild]

Ahhhh fuck, need to update XSplit, starting asap.

[Brofellos]

WE ARE LIVE AND I'M TERRIFIED

[Fabricated]

I wanted to be annoying and make your steam message popup come up during the stream repeatedly but you were smart enough to turn it off. Booooo.

[Brofellos]

Ok bump this game we are going to play Paranormal

[schild]

Amnesia was not a very good game. :(

[Stormwaltz]

It did not seem to be, no.

That fucking bird.

So, I'm pretty sure that bird moving was the most notable thing that happened in the game in the first 90 minutes. In fact, the dolls in the first 30 seconds of Paranormal - which can't even be played all the way through - were scarier than anything in Amnesia. A shame, really. I think the biggest crime in Amnesia though, was the soundwork. Just, really really bad.

[Samwise]

I didn't even see you were doing this but did see you were playing Amnesia around the same time I was.  I'll probably finish it but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's not already a fan of the first one -- go play the first one instead.

Also I think I missed the bird.  Is there a scary thing with a bird coming up?  I'm just about to go into the church.

(edit) On the soundwork, one thing that I noticed was interesting (but could have been executed much better) was a "loud noise scare" that was right in my left ear rather than being in a physical location.  As in, I was really quick and spun around before the sound finished, and it stayed in my left ear as I turned.  Which sort of spoiled the effect, but I thought the idea of having it be at right angles to whereever you happened to be looking so you'd have to spin around to look for the source was clever.  I don't know if I've ever seen a game do that before, or maybe they've just done it better so I haven't noticed the trick.

[schild]

No, there's nothing scary.

As in, I played for like just shy of 90 minutes straight (probably like 85 minutes) and nothing was scary. Brofellos jumped once, I asked him what he jumped at and he said "I don't know."

Edit: Seriously, Paranormal does basically all the sound stuff Amnesia was trying to do better. Also, it's totally incomplete so you don't even seem to be able to access your bed to go to the next day, which results in you getting killed when the camera runs out of battery power. Every time Paranormal gets updated, I might stream it. I really like it.

FIGURED OUT HOW TO OPEN DOORS IN PARANORMAL

OH GOD

[Druzil]

Those Paranormal dolls are seriously creepy.  Also, watching you attempt to play Surgeon Simulator was quite entertaining.

I'll go ahead and call Machine for Pigs Awful.  I think Shadowgate had a more engaging story... and it even had an inventory!

[schild]

I will be playing Paranormal again, possibly tomorrow. Depends on showtimes for Riddick.

[Lakov_Sanite]

Bought paranormal after reading this thread....


Fuuuuuuck you Schild, made me turn on the goddamn lights that I usually don't use in my dark hallway just getting up to take a piss.

[schild]

Brofellos and I will be streaming Paranormal this Saturday. Possibly some other stuff. Might be an all-day stream. Especially if Hex Alpha drops (which it won't).
