Goddamn, Space Giraffe looks awesome

I will also say this: when starting the game up, your first couple of games are useless, if you are me. You need time to recognize the bullets and the spike-equivalent.

The music is an unwelcome distraction. I need the sound up and the music down. Can I do that? Let's check... I can! Awesome. That is very helpful.

And I would like to reiterate that this thing needed to come with a spinner. Most of my deaths are now coming from not being able to panic-spin.

Grab the demo of Pac Man Awesome and become addicted to it. Also do this for Geometry Wars (get the practise in because the second, co-op fuelled one comes out in a few months).
Duke Nukem 3D is on my handy-dandy Creators Xbox Live, as well as a few things I'm really not allowed to mention. So I guess they will all be here in a couple months.
I would like to say that, much to my shock and utter delight, Death Tank has appeared on this list, but is currently an unuseable "can you see rotating square" systems check. Early days, but I hope they haven't just taken the name!

Robb, when you get MASS EFFECT 1, do me a big humping favour and, the moment the game starts, go into the menu and turn of the film-grain effect. With it, it looks like bad graphics smeared with marmalade to emulate an old movie. Without it, it looks like a game! They should not have tried to shy away from this.
Also experiment turning on & off the motion-blur. EVERYONE turns off film-graining but people are 50/50 on the motion blur. I hate it.

Looks like the PC version is almost ready!

Gonna use my Apache push/pull spinner hooked up to my PC for this one. The way it was meant to be played, I'd guess!

Also, I will be demanding that anyone that physically enters my home play the PC version of Space Giraffe with a spinner. I realize that this may be a "deal breaker" for some of you, and that's OK: I wouldn't require this if it was not better for all of you.

While you are playing, I'll eat some carrots. My physical health and your mental health will improve. (And Jeff Llamatron's financial health will increase.)

I wish you had told me that before. Should I get up extra early to get a game in before the trip to the airport at 6am? Or should I just drive around the block, slowing down and honking as I pass the driveway so that I do not have to enter the abode?

Hold your giraffes! It's not out yet!

Also, assuming that the PC version is five bucks, this is what you're all getting for Christmas. All of you.

It's gonna be out next, and the PC version is twenty bucks. I also switched to Judiasm, so no gifts from me to anyone.

Well, um, it's out. I'll post the purchase link when I get home.

One thing though: no mouse support! Which means that my Apache spinner won't frigging work on it. Unless I can somehow map the x-axis of a mouse to two keyboard keys. (I don't think this is possible? I've been looking all day and found nothing.)

This is a crushing disappointment. I was really hoping to spin it up with this game.
