Not really sure what category this falls under, but my sister and I just started playing this (you get two keys with a single purchase).


...


me gusta. Anyone else play? And if you have to ask what it is, your time would be better spent googling it.

Also. A tree just came to life and killed me o_o

I can't google it if I don't know what it is.

It's a game. And the title is ... *Reads title of thread* "Don't Starve"

So yeah. ;)

Randomly Generated New Worlds:
Want a new map? No problem! At any time you can generate a new living and breathing world that hates you and wants you to die.
Read that line on the game's website, and I almost bought the game right then and there. It's always more fun when the game generally hates you. :D

haha yeah, the title says it all.

I'm mostly kidding about the googling thing--I generally end up announcing that at some point in the thread so I just came right out with it :P

In all seriousness, it's about a man named Wilson (or one of the other characters you unlock) who gets taken by a demon to another realm in which he must, well, survive. The game really does want to kill you, too :P You have to be careful to maintain your supply of food as well as wood for your fire. You can unlock more tools via the different "Science Machines."

The game's artwork is pretty cool as well. It feels like... I dunno, Tim Burton :P very very Tim Burton.

If you want to see gameplay, here's a video (and a shameless plug of Ethoslab, because he's awesome):

Looks more like Tom Hanks to me. Movie wise, anyways. Or Tom Cruise.

I'm pretty sure Soup was talking about in a visionary/artistic-director sort of way.

Wait, if the main character's name is Wilson, is he like a volleyball? Or does he spend the entire game looking over a fence and talking to his next door neighbor?

I'm not sure I quite understand your reference. Would you care to explain it to me?

Oh, the first reference is about a movie of a guy who gets stranded on an island,
and the only thing keeping him company is a volleyball he named Wilson.
I am not sure where the second reference is from.

Anyways, as for the other reason why I bumped this is because I am now playing the game. :mrgreen:

After several deaths, I finally am on day 22 on default mode,
and it's snowing... and Wilson is getting cold... and I am without a fluffy hat.
This is going to get crazy.

Dear sweet monkey fudge...what is wrong with the world when people don't catch a "Home Improvement" reference? O_o

Hmm... I guess I wouldn't know.
I never seen Home Improvement.
(Which may have been a fatal mistake. XD )
