Alien Isolation

This is what I love about video games now... it literally feels
like you'r in the movie! Now imagine this on the Oculus!
Here's 20 minutes of Gameplay. I'm hypnotized.

I have every intention of getting this. I was under the
impression that you weren't a gamer....at least of the console
variety. You getting this or what?

I don't play games, but I find them interesting. I've actually
got a TON of walkthroughs on Youtube I need to watch, I love the
art and design of all of it, and I can't very well draw while
trying to play, can I? That's something that always bugged me
when I was a kid, I was always inspired by video game and
computer art, but there was no way to grab hold of it and
analyze it.
I'm a big Aliens fan, and the idea of seeing the cast back
together... I wanna see that!
Edit/update:
Oh sh*t, how did I not see the trailer before? WOW!

I heard about this a couple of weeks ago about how popular it is
to watch these YouTube videos of other people playing the game.

Very popular! There is a hosting site called Twitch that I
absolutely love. When I don't have time to play and I need to
get work done, I turn on Twitch and either look for a specific
game or one of the host that I'm subscribed to and watch...or
have on as background noise while I work. What's cool is that
these cats make nice revunue just for playing their games online
and it's all live. What you see on YouTube is basically the
hosting uploading their Live Streams from Twitch and dumping
them on YouTube to attract potential subscribers over on Twitch
as Subscribers have to pay $5 per month. But with there $5 they
are able to play the host in whatever game he has running at the
moment. There are other incentives to join as well, but you get
the idea and the more subscribers you get, the fatter your
paycheck becomes. You do however have to split the money you
bring in. Some of it going to Twitch for their services and some
of it to advertising. Not sure what the percentage breakdown is
as I need to investigate that part a bit more.
I love the idea so much that I'm actually contemplating opening
a Twitch account myself. It's easy money for doing something you
aleady do. At the moment I watch Live Streams via the
'Unofficial" Twitch Channel on Roku. That's one of my goto
channels now. The Unofficial Channel is not to be confused with
the Official Channel that you make money off of. It's a fanmade
channel that allows regular folk the ability to watch while
inside of Roku.

Yeah, the Trailer kicks ass for sure. Makes you want to get an
Xbox One or PS4 now doesn't it?! ;D

FYI, the Unofficial Twitch App for Roku is free. No pay or
anything. It's just there to watch whoever and whatever you want
at any time. When I said I subscribed to certain players on that
app, I meant to say I hit the follow button so that I can know
when they are streaming.

I watched someone play through all 96 levels of Super Mario
World a month or so ago... I never had an SNES, but the few
times I tried playing the game at my friend's house, I never got
very far. It was cool to finally see the thing the whole way
through, including all the secret levels. I dig the idea that
the map was incomplete and the player had to find all these
hidden doors in order to get through the whole thing.
I also saw a playthrough of the Game Boy Super Mario Bros 2 Six
Golden Coins, which I did have and which I did beat when I was a
kid, but it was funny now seeing it, that it was the same design
as SNES but on the Game Boy engine. It was also real neat that
every single level was a completely different design from every
other level, with its' own villains, world elements,
backgrounds, etc. LOT of stuff for a Game Boy game. There were
even a couple of those same hidden levels.
On my Youtube app I've got a couple playlists of more games I
want to watch: the Mass Effects, Arkhams, Grand Theft Auto V...
all the big ones. The trick is finding the time, these are LONG
games!

If you do the Batman series, you will be a very busy bee getting
through Arkham Asylum, Arkham City, Arkham Origins and the
forthcoming Arkham Knight.
