I feel like the only people I could trust to talk about this game are Tim Rogers and Austin Walker, and both I trust for completely different reasons.

Tim is such a painfully talented storyteller. I could listen to him talk about anything. He has a gift, and there’s nothing more I want in this life than to continually have him make videos and share these wonderful stories that make any day better. I love you, Tim.

[@thebrodieroy]

Dear Devolver Digital employees who will end up watching this video, thank you. But to the enlightened one who dives into the depths of the comments. Do it. Find a way to give Tim 4 million dollars so he can grace the world with Truck Heck and maybe even get him in the writers room for your next E3 event. That'd be great!

[@jayfolk]

Time for a Kotaku review- STORY TIME -as Tim proceeds to recount, from photographic memory, every gonzo personal life story around the game.

[@SeshohoCian]

tim im sure im telling you stuff you already know but TRUCK HECK is truly a great name, and I'm really taken by how much better of a name TRUCK HECK is compared to the obvious synonym TRUCK HELL. Part of it is how the consonance of the "CK" at the end of both TRUCK and HECK creates a good mouthfeel to say, and also that HECK is a funnier word than HELL. Although I get the feeling you have spent years crafting such a title, so this is probably all obvious surface level reading of TRUCK HECK. great video by the way.

[@GRIFTYRODRIGUEZ]

i really hope he's got that shit trademarked

[@TheInverseGentleman]

Dragon Quarter is one of my favorite video games. I still don't understand how underrated that game is it has everything. Time looping (as long as you have the ungimped EU version), a fairy management minigame, more pathos than you can reasonably expect to fit in the boot my 2007 subaru liberty. The main character also has goggles that I always unreasonably wanted to have even though I would never have the shonen protagonist confidence to wear them.

This was a delightful review, Tim.

[@TheRacePig]

My only real criticism of this game having played a few levels so far is that the sound design is weirdly thin, it sounds like a bunch of sound effects are just straight up missing to the point where I couldn't tell if it was a bug with the port or if it was that way originally. That and the game is locked to 30fps even on PC but that's just a small "well it's a tad disappointing" type complaint I'm not pulling a framerate police here. I just want every game to run at my monitor's 165hz refresh rate, high framerates have spoiled me.
