Title: Someone bite on Velvet Sundown and report on how hilarious it is
Post by: Himu on August 01, 2014, 10:26:33 AM
I saw SOMEONE - don't remember WHO! - playing Velvet Sundown this week.

If you don't know, it's this crazy sim game of people stuck on a boat or something.

Here's the giantbomb ql which makes it look admittedly hilarious from my time watching it:

Yeah I 'played' a round of this the other day while my main jam was down for maint. Felt kind of weird and pointless. As the GB look shows I'd imagine it's much more fun with people you know. We should do a bore night of this. Also it's worth noting that at the moment (or at least as of a few days ago) the text to speech thing is only for premium peeps due to a unexpectedly high amount of usage. 'I'm going to kill myself and it's because of Boyle.'

It's a freeform game based on improv skills?

I'm playing it now and I swear I'm playing with children.

Things like

"Can I kill u?"

And

"Ewwww you're a person!!!!" After asking if he wants marijuana

Also

"Where are the chickz at?"

Yeah, this game looks terrible if you play with randos, and only good for lulz if you play with friends. I can't even imagine the circumstances were anyone would play this game legit. I guess maybe if your LARPing meet-up got rained out.

Sounds like it's yet another game that's more enjoyable to watch than playing. I'll stick to Youtube!
