I Will Ramble Over Your Game!

Oh hi there, you’re looking fabulous today. That Ludum Dare has really done you good…

I’m dogbomb. I do silly things. One of the silly things I do is play/review/mock/love indie-games on a weekly basis. This week I’d like to tickle a few of your Ludum Dare entries and see what happens.

I did this last time; it was my 50th review so I decided to cram 50 games in.  You can see how that turned out here:

50 Indie Games in 10 Minutes

 

I truly wish I could play/record all of your games, but I can’t due to time constraints, so please leave a note if:

  • You want your game to be played
  • You want to recommend someone else’s game for me to play
  • You really DO NOT want me to play yours. I’ll take you off the list.

I’m quite kind, but I can understand that you won’t want this British chap with a weird accent pointing out bugs in your 48 hour game or swearing at it because he doesn’t understand it through his drunken haze.

This is pretty much first-come-first-served, though I already have a small list I’ve put together myself. I will get upset if people WANT to be reviewed and I have to say no… so I’ll close this when I need to, to stop me bursting into tears.

TL;DR : This dude wants to play your game and put 10-15 seconds of it on youtube while shouting over it.

 

EDIT: I HAVE A 50+ LIST NOW. YOU’RE TOO LATE FOR A GUARANTEED SLOT IN THE VIDEO. WORTH GIVING IT A GO THOUGH… I MIGHT ADD YOU IF SOMEONE ELSE’S GAME DOESN’T WORK OUT. ANNOYING ME ON TWITTER IS MORE LIKELY TO GET MY ATTENTION IF YOU’RE DESPERATE! 

p.s. I love you all. Thank you for the great response. x x x

I’m British – so your accent will fit!

Go ahead. Love your work so far :o)

23. Aug 2011 · 11:35 UTC
Sounds like it would be pretty awesome. Please do my game 😀

You were already on the list! :-O Also, I’m from up that way, yes… Durhamish… but I’m in Yorkshire now. My accent is all over the place.

I made a perfect game for you to be frustrate!
23. Aug 2011 · 11:52 UTC
Ah this sounds fun 😀 Count me in if you still have room :
23. Aug 2011 · 11:58 UTC
Ahhhh, please don’t let me be too late…
23. Aug 2011 · 12:00 UTC
Also probably waaay too late, but this game doesn’t take long, isn’t hard, and you don’t have to take it if you don’t want it.
23. Aug 2011 · 12:04 UTC
You could take a look at mine if you have the time! Had a lot of fun watching your previous video.
23. Aug 2011 · 12:08 UTC
Hello there, you scroller! If you read this, then that probably means you were too late. :( I’m sorry.

Oh man! I didn’t read this in time well… anyway, if you have some time at least check it :)

65 Ludum Dare #21 games… in 10(ish) minutes.

Hello again! Gosh you do smell nice this weekend. Is that new cologne/perfume/soap/deleteasapplicable?

Just the other day, in the post-LD glow, I asked for some of you to poke your games in my direction so I could play them while rocking slowly back and forth in this white cell… and you did! I love you!

I added a few of my own picks to the mix, and glued it all together… and here it is:

 

65 Games in 10(ish) Minutes

I’m flattered that you listed most of me first, but it would be lovely if you listed the last letter of my name (‘L’) :)

So far the most games in any ld48-coverage. Nice work!
27. Aug 2011 · 06:43 UTC
Hahahahaha, nice video. It’s even funny without sound. 😉
27. Aug 2011 · 08:46 UTC
Hahahaha, I was lieing on the floor, especially at the punching Notch’s massive balls around XD
27. Aug 2011 · 09:09 UTC
I’m not going to be original: I love it! I played many of games you’ve shown and had lots of laughs watching the video. Awesome. Thanks for including my game in there! 😀

100 Ludum Dare Games? Random Drunk Mutterings?

YES PLEASE!

Thank you for the awesome response to my last post. There were just over 200 of you wanting to be in the video. I would LOVE to have recorded you all… but Christmas meant I had even less time than usual to work on it. Next time I’ll try and do better… and try and figure out a nice fair way of picking who I do.

But until then… grab some popcorn… then toss it away and open a beer instead – and enjoy:



Thank you again to everyone featured, and thank you to everyone who shows a bit of interest in it. I’ve said it before, but I will happily say it again and scream it from the rooftops: Independent games development is incredible. The community is incredible. And YOU are incredible. Much love. x
