9/26/14 stream -

[littlebiscuits]

Looks like I missed it. Did anything actually happen or was he just sperging the whole time?

Very spergy and rude as fuck! I know not everyone is a people person, but damn!

 

[Trombonista]

He's still doing these?

Jay was unusually spergy this time. Like... Ridiculously so. I was amazed the chat chan managed to fight the urge to scream at him that he was an idiot. There was this one sequence where he had to get past a guy who rolls instant-kill grenades at you if you break the door, and shoot you if you lack a shield. The key is extremely obvious: get to a place where the grenades can't get to, put up a shield, shoot him in the face after he rolls a grenade or two fruitlessly - but it took Jay like SIX SEPERATE ATTEMPTS to figure that out.

Picture this the entire stream long.

Not to alog or anything, but I liked it when his head set was on backwards. You can still hear him fine when he spergs out.

 

[Batman VS Tony Danza]

Chat had to walk him through the game. I don't just mean people who played it and knew what to do but just people who have some degree of common sense. I had never played the game and suggested to Jay that maybe he could CHARGE up the gun. People told him to use his shield and Jay had no idea he had that ability despite the fact he kept unintentionally using it and saw the bad guys who had the same guns using it. I think it was midway through the game that he was informed this. Obamatron had to pretty much keep telling Jay to do things because for some reason Jay was certain his way was right. Jay would rather think that there's no way to solve a puzzle rather than consider that someone else could be correct. Then when he'd cave in and start try to their method he'd say "Ohhhh, I see. I think I know what to do". He'd repeated quite a few times "How was I supposed to know that would happen?" or "Who knew that would happen?" and I kept thinking "Dude, you should know because chat fucking told you that would happen and they explained why". He's shit at critical thinking. Another World isn't the easiest game but he struggled with some of the most mundane things.

Also if you tell Jay not to shoot a character because they're needed to continue he will kill them at least three more times before that information sinks in. I'm starting to think maybe the key to Jay is getting him to play games where you can fuck things up by being a complete moron and just trying to destroy everything. It's people like him that made it so Fallout and Elder Scroll games now have crucial NPCs as pretty much immortal. I kind of want to see Jay play Morrowind with all the OP combat mods he can find just so we can see him act bewildered when he finds out he killed a friendly NPC needed to do the main quest. The problem is he'd probably bitch out and use console commands to respawn them. Also I imagine watching him play Morrowind would be extremely boring beyond that.

Cripes, what a dork. I how can people stand talking to this guy?

"I am a mastermind, but I'm not evil!"

Sounds like he's a bad mix of Chris and DSP now. I haven't been able to tune in for most of his streams lately, but fucking .

 

[Shokew]

*shoots self in face for even thinking that this stream would even be remotely funny to sit down to...*

Yeah, This guy really needs to shut up. Seriously - all that screaming is just... I'm floored here by how annoying it all is.

 

[Taily Puff]

I will give Jay props on one thing. He seemed legitimately awed by the ending. Like, it seemed that the journey and seeing it through to it's completion actually hit him on some level.

And he kept calling the graphics "Cool", which not a lot of people his age would say about any game more than two years old.

But Jesus, his fucking voice.

 

[Shokew]

.....But Jesus, his fucking voice.

That's what killed this for me, that's for sure!

 

[Total Dingus]

I guess I just wanted him to try a game that requires you to think, and maybe doesn't have obvious answers, and a smart narrative... all things which might directly conflict with this usual patterns.

I'll vote myself "optimistic" here.

 

[Furina]

I wonder if watching him play Portal would be hilarious or infuriating. The amount of 3D thinking and employment of unusual physics required by the game might be too much for GK's Halo and Call of Duty mentality.

What other games do you think he;d struggle with? Here's my list of ideas:
- ARMA III: Too slow-paced and requires tactical and critical thinking.
- Civilisation V: Grand strategy. 'nuff said.
- Kerbal Space Program: Mathematical thinking is a must, as is attention to detail in design and execution. That said, he might enjoy making little rockets that can't escape the atmosphere and just smash into the ground or corkscrew around.
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R: It looks like another FPS but it is deceptively brutal and will kick his mulletted ass if he treats it like Halo.

 

[Watermelon1337]

If Jay can't handle challenges, I think the only other time I'll actually enjoy a stream is if he plays Dark Souls. I can imagine how confused he'd be just killing important NPCs and wandering around the same three locations getting lost and not having a clue about the bell tower, trying to figure out how to kill the bosses...

...Nevermind, on second thought it wouldn't be that much fun watching him waste all of our days away.

Some suggestions from my own files:

1. X-Com: Enemy Unknown
Requires tactical planning and foresight and punishes acting like a gung-ho dickass. Rewards creative tactics. Encourage him to play on one of the lower settings, and he may learn something interesting.

2. Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War: Dark Crusade or Dawn of War: Soulstorm.
Either of these expansions are standalone, which is great for newcomers. They have engaging stories (well, Dark Crusade does, Soulstorm's mostly for multiplayer), and armies can be custom color'd and given custom badges and banners to personalize them to taste. This alone could keep Jay's attention for days, and, again, maybe help him stream better.

3. Terraria
Encourage Jay to explore, build, and solve the game's quests. See how he does. Should be mildly entertaining. He can get guns, build armor, and rarely fuck anything up. Plz refrain from accidentally his base this time, guys.

4. Shantae: Risky's Revenge
It's flirty, fun, Metroidvania, has great graphics and music, fun writing, and almost guaranteed to get a few laughs. A very safe choice, but also potentially quite good.

5. Super Amazing Wagon Adventure
Nobody can not not have fun playing this. It'll be as hilarious for Jay as it is for any onlookers. If you can't enjoy this game, you are not fucking human.

 

[Surtur]

He needs to play Star Citizen.

 

[StallChaser]

It's people like him that made it so Fallout and Elder Scroll games now have crucial NPCs as pretty much immortal.

To be fair, they did that because NPCs in those games often got killed off screen in ways totally beyond the control of the player, because of the randomness inherent in sandbox games.

 

[Optimus Prime]

I kinda want to see him play a standard LEGO game. You can actively murder all the NPCs as you like, they just rebuild themselves and not give a shit. Which would either be GK's ultimate paradise or hellhole, depending on how important it is that they STAY dead to him.

He also would be forced to play through the levels as the "hub" menu map only populates as you unlock more and more characters to play.

Lol this totally happened years ago when I was making my way through Skyrim. In that one town built in the mountain (where they're all cannibals apparently) where you get thrown into jail and you either help the prisoners revolt or you kill their leader (which was damn near impossible until I figured out you could just dual-wield summoned swords, then he was piss easy) and escape through the dwarven ruins, I of course did the latter because the leader guy was a dick and after making/fighting my way through what felt like the ending sequence of Hellboy II: The Golden Army with nothing but imaginary steak knives and LOUD NOISES, the noble guy pops up at the exit outside the ruins and says you're forgiven, gives you back your stuff, etc.

At the exact moment he's done talking, one of thosse golden roller ball droids emerges from the exit (the only time I ever saw an enemy exit an instance to enter the main world map) and basically insta-kills the noble.

And that's why Markarth/The Reach are the best areas in Skyrim.

Back on topic, my vote is for Postal 2. You can get it cheap (and DRM-free!) on GOG.com for about $10, less if there's a sale, and that includes the expansion pack.

While I doubt it will be the orgy of psychological fuckery it was with Jace, I think it will be illuminating to see Jay's reaction to a) heavy weaponry and b) the ability to indiscriminately murder helpless civilians. Many spree killer, such psychopath,
