As a board game person, it's funny to see wingspan on a list of underated games. It was the biggest thing in the board game scene for about a year.

[@russelldoty2743]

Eh. Not too surprised that a digital version of a board game isn't that big in the video game fandom. Different priorities and such (not to mention Tabletop Simulator making them redundant for those okay with mods).

[@catlover0000]

Oh not in the least, I just found the idea of 'I found this really underrated gem, wingspan' amusing, despite how true it might be.

[@Traxiconn]

Was coming down here to write this same comment lol.

[@Killercreek]

It and root are still hard to get in stock

[@LMPL1993]

Yeah I also did a double take.

[@CasualSteamGamer]

Seeing Brigand: Oaxaca in this list brought a huge smile to my face. Brian is one of my favorite game developers of all time.

[@TheHalcyonTwilight]

Oh God, I actually recognise a lot of the assets used in Brigand, which brought back a weird blend of nostalgia and hilarity. A good amount of them are from the FPS Creator software package, with some older Dexsoft assets thrown in for good measure. Having spent ages playing around in exactly that manner with these kinds of assets, it's weird to see it all in a cohesive game!

[@Argusthecat]

George stumbling into the definition for a eurogame when talking about Wingspan and its litany of BIRD POWERS is kind of the highlight of my day.

[@NSSgamerz]

Do those "products" have your face on them too George?

[@MattRoszak]

I think digging up these obscure games is my favourite part of this channel. I've really enjoyed some of the ones I've played from previous episodes.

[@Kamakazie27]

FYI: Wingspan is an adaptation of a tremendously popular board game.

[@Jesse__H]

... that's one of the first things he said about the game.

[@ransomtime3515]

I found it odd with how big it was in the board game space that it made the list, but I guess board game adaptations are pretty niche (although in quarantine they are the only way I've been able to play)

[@thesupremeadmiral]

@@Jesse__H Yeah, but it doesn't make sense as a "games from my inbox" style game, because it is literally one of the BIGGEST board games on the market right now. Like, there is 100% going to be some sort of media coverage of it, and the video game adaptation certainly has a decent playerbase of boardgamers who wanted an electronic version.

[@Graknorke]

Brigand: Oaxaca is incredibly cool. Really respect the dev from what I've seen of him responding to community.

[@genericgorilla]

really curious about how adam&eve got wind of your channel or what sort of market research leads to them concluding that demos do overlap, but also i love this series man, probably the best content on the channel

[@CoffeeKitty.]

i mean they nailed me right at least

[@Walpurgisnackt]

Oh shit Brigand Oaxaca. The first game I've heard of before seeing in this series. These videos are always a delight

[@torgg7493]

Omg it feels like it's been 20 years since the last "games from my inbox" video. I can't wait! More SBH videos PLEASE!

[@zacharymorris3775]

Wingspan is like crazy popular in the boardgaming world (and was like the most talked about game the year it came out) so It felt silly to see the digital version here as an "obscure" game

[@bnjkf9u3]

Carcassonne has a Game Version as well ;)

[@massivepileup]

It's the winner of the prestigious Kennerspiel des Jahres award (GOTY for advanced players) so yeah, you can buy the boardgame at any store selling boardgames. Perhaps searching for the original title "Flügelschlag" would have found more results?

[@madosii3671]

@@massivepileup Flügelschlag isn't the original title, because it's an American made game.

[@MrTomlette]

Well, that already tells you how small the board gaming world is compared to video games. But it was cool to see, even though I've never intend to play that! Hopefully he'll find some of the other board game apps, it's cool to see a non-hobbyist take on the genre.

[@CaptainOblivion]

I dunno, tabletop gaming is surely a smaller world than video gaming (in terms of sales figures, not total physical real estate it takes up as a hobby), but it still seems a bit odd for a game with hundreds of thousands of copies out there to be included in this video (though I guess the metric for inclusion is more about press coverage for the digital version specifically rather than the game itself).

[@hiddenshadow2105]

[@TJLounge]

Loved the opening man, games have been amazing this year and have really been the only thing keeping me sane during the weird times we find ourselves in. I've always loved these videos talking about small games I've never heard of. This is the kind of Adam and eve content I've been waiting for!

[@ZontarDow]

George's dismissal of the problem that would arise if he'd reviewed his friends game without disclosure is why games journalism is still not real journalism, even with the decay in the wider quality of journalism.

[@TheMovingEye]

Browse George's sponsor, maybe you'd find something help you get that stick out of your ass.

[@ZontarDow]

@@TheMovingEye Not sure how new to gaming you are, but a few years back this issue led to a major controversy that George has made it clear he was on the wrong side of and is unapologetic about it, it speaks poorly of his moral character and ethical integrity that he mocks the notion of, well, having moral character and ethical integrity.

[@Treehouse22009]

@@ZontarDow I think the funniest bit about his '""""""Skit""""""" is that it breaks his own rule of having to not heard or know about the game before covering it, showcasing just how powerful nepotism is at destroying one's principles. it's almost like there is literally no just reason to not admit your biases to the public, especially when your job relies on the public's trust.

[@ZontarDow]

@@Treehouse22009 couldn't agree more, I have no problem with people covering products of friends and family, I just want them to be honest about it

[@pastelshoal]

Yeah I was actually a bit surprised by this presentation considering his video on gamer gate back when that happened (DragonCon video) where he was pretty clear that disclosure was important...

[@fish_tfe]

Wingspan was so popular it was featured in newspapers, and I am quite pleased to see how many viewers commented on this. Though it was worth it just to hear George attempt to explain a euro game, he should do more videos like that.

[@king_big_pp]

Brigand: Oaxaca has over a million owners on Steam, according to Steamspy. Crazy.

[@andrzejsugier]

Seems like a bug, or it was given away for free, as it has under 100 reviews, and a rule of thumb is that (Number of Owners) =(Number of Reviews)*50

[@binaryghosts5131]

Thank you for disclosing that you were showcasing a game form or for a friend and/or colleague. Whatever anyone thinks of the whole GG dumpster fire I think one thing we can pull from it is that people generally don't like having advertisements being masked as critiques. Anyway, always enjoy the content and hope more comes out soon and more frequent!

Brigand: Oaxaca was one of those things that keeps your mind on "Wait, did a guy really did ALL this?"

[@Violafrfr]

and when the world needed it most, games from my inbox returned after hundreds of years

[@Blackerer]

Brigand: Oaxaca reminds me a lot of Boiling Point: Road to Hell, which was actually a surprisingly fun game. A Ukrainian Far Cry-style game from 2005 (there is a sequel as well and a related scifi project Precursors). You start with a feeling of hardcore eurojank, and then you start getting sucked into it... as if playing a hardcore eurojank :D.

[@lucasbober1729]

Those games sound sick but I can’t find them on steam :(

[@Blackerer]

@@lucasbober1729 They had a different name in Ukraine and Russia, I think. I found the sequel to Boiling Point and Precursors on Steam. Just search for "Xenus 2. White gold." (yes, that is how it is called and capitalized and how full stops are used, no joke). Precursors are just "Precursors". Both published by Deep Shadows. I cant vouch entirely for those two, because I played only Boiling Point. I had a retail copy of that one with the dreadful StarForce copy protection, but I have lent it to my friend and never got it back :D. I can see there is a retail version available on Amazon UK (as Boiling Point: Road to Hell) and US (as Boiling Point) though. For all 3 games, I suggest going to PC Gaming Wiki to resolve any eurojank issues. There also seems to be a legal way of removing StarForce for Boiling Point. So if you want to try it, make sure to avoid it like a plague :D. One more thing: Save often, keep multiple save slots. Once I had to reload the whole mission to get through a trigger correctly.

George is the perfect Adam and Eve spokesman.

[@mixiekins]

2:57 yup, that's exactly why, and we still do it today. Especially because of Covid, events that used to be in person have been moving to live streams. I just got done doing exactly that for PSR's 2020 gala, which is infinitely easier with OBS than it had been in a tv studio with physical media. There's different challenges, like how you can't cut to different camera angles on someone in a zoom call, but by and large it's the same. I actually find that most older folks are actually already familiar with stuff like talking heads who give those audio cues so the producer can switch scenes. Perhaps it's part of the older generations' zeitgeist from watching stuff like Weird Al's UHF, so I've found that giving analogies to that way of operating makes the process go smoothly.

[@goop_lord]

Jet Island rules. It's like Shadow of the Colossus meets Spy Kids 3D.

[@Alfred_English]

Jet Island has a momentum based platforming feel that reminds me so much of 2D Sonic. I honestly feel like it's one of the top 3 most important VR games I've played in the sense that it's gameplay makes perfect use of the VR platform

[@SuddenlyPiwate]
