adventuregamers dot com is calling it that, and someone needed to fight back

2025-04-12 16:32:18 +0000 UTCa) I love these, thanks for making them b) I agree with David above; I had to slow Sarah down to .75 speed, it was nuts. Not saying anything needs to change, just... I'm not used to that sensation c) It was validating in the comments to see you say Portal 2 was disappointing. I agree! It was thoroughly playable and Wheatly/Cave made me laugh, but less than its predecessor (tall order). And, crucially, not an adventure game. Are people calling it that?

2025-04-03 17:29:12 +0000 UTCI loved Zork GI when I was a kid, and the reviews "reveal" that the Lantern was voiced by Michael McKean was a shocking surprise. Obviously I hear it *now* - even in ancient voiceclips stored in the back of my mind - but I never made the connection until you pointed it out. Totally agree with the Kings Quest and Fate of Atlantis-takes, but while I absolutely get the Portal 2-joke, I'm still a little bummed not to get your thoughts on the game itself nonetheless :p
