Mark Bushnell Very happy to see Quinns enthusing about video-games on camera again. It helps fill the cogwatch shaped hole in my heart. More generally all the Cool Ghost stuff has been excellent, very excited to see where things go from here.

Simon Preece Here's a tip, that you probably already know, making me sound a right tit. But if you need to kill something BIG, slap a pod on its head. Just about anything will do the trick, turret, resupply, anything that calls down an actual drop. If I don't pack a rocket and a bloody big bastard comes at me, I freeze them with the static thingy-me-bob, then slap down a wad of ammo on his noggin. Boom, splat, yaayyy.

Barry Hood Bugs are definitely the game changer. Money for nothing! My upgrade tree goes something like: Hacking > 1st Double jump > Bomb > Clearance for next zone > Upgrade hacking (for doors/mines) > Bug > Never have to worry about money again (well, not quite, but they are amazing)

Daft Souls!

Is it worth posting this up here every single week? I don't know! Let me know!


Anyway, as promised recently in that big update for backers, Daft Souls will be WEEKLY on a muuuuuch more consistent basis, as part of the brand new world order that will be rolling into town very soon.


Apologies if it's seemed very quiet lately, getting everything in place for the big change is taking up a strangely large chunk of my time, and I'm also inexplicably going through a wave of constantly feeling like a dry and imploded orange.


Have a good day!

Nobody at Videogamer picked up the slack on obscure indie titles so I'm parched for weird early access games and freebies. What, pay for full releases? Have a good weekend!

J Rose A Fine ending to the series and i will miss it. Watching you and Quinns play Helldivers some more sounds like good fun, I'm loving the swindle and I'm sure there will be much more to come, but it won't match the moments of quiet introspection tinged with comedy and horror of this playthrough (i mean i guess Quinns could strip off in one video or something but it wouldn't be quite the same!).

July 28, 2015 16:47:11 · Reply

De I honestly thought you would go for the escape from the dream ending. Sometimes I think watching someone play a video game tells you a bit about them. Matt Lees doesn't want to kill the helpless just to find out what will happen after. And that's nice. Though in a way you probably got the ending you deserved, since as you pointed out the game was getting you to do things you really didn't want to out of a sense of obligation to learn all there was to learn, effectively turning you into it's creature. Interesting, it's all interesting. In all seriousness, this has been a wonderful series Mr. Lees.

Yo! As the game is out tomorrow, here's another episode so you can see what it's like once you get past the opening stages. Really would recommend it, pretty cool game. I'm away in the States for most of this week, and busy with LIFE STUFF at either end of it - so just wanted to get some light and fun stuff uploaded so it doesn't seem like I've disappeared entirely.

Hello you! IT IS DONE.


Well, almost, anyway - next up is my effort to put them all together to make one big video for people who enjoy such things! Process there is to trim out a few bits that I don't like in retrospect, and maybe add a few extra sections in to change the flow. Maybe not though - we'll see!


Either way I'm looking into the possibility of uploading the full version to Vimeo or something so that you guys can download a proper HD version. Not sure if that's of interest, but HEY-HOOOO.
