Video games

It seems like HumbleBundle or Gog or Steam comes out with another sale, and a month later, I find out how cool it is from someone's Let's Play on YouTube. Sometimes I have purchased the games, sometimes I haven't. I don't think this is a complaint, exactly. I just wish I could guess closer to 100% of the time which games were going to turn out to be Really Cool...but if I could do that, I'm sure I would've been barred from Las Vegas by now. :)

I have Astroneer and Subnautica and Stonehearth (NOT Hearthstone). I don't yet have Oxygen Not Included, or Scanner Sombre (which I just found out about). Fract OSC turns out to be too confusing for me to play, and yet I love wandering around on the inside of it.

Do you watch Rooster Teeth's Let's Play?

[jamesh]

I hadn't even heard of Rooster Teeth's Let's Play. The Let's Play broadcasters I currently follow are ChristopherOdd, quill18, Blitz and EnterElysium. They tend to be quieter than Rooster's Teeth seem to be, from my brief single visit to their central YouTube page.
The Rooster Teeth group sounds kinda testosterone-y for my taste. Plus, I often watch these things to review a game for purchase, although I will admit it's often fun to watch someone play a game I'm no good at (and never will be).

testosterone-y

Oh, yeah...very. It's more game play than reviewing, so likely not your cuppa; I get tired of the profanity on it, but some of the episodes have been fun.
