The group is talking about the What’s in the Box video that surfaced last week. There was a lot of speculation that it was a viral video to promote Half Life 3 or something coming from Valve, but that has since been debunked. It’s a cool video with a lot of atmosphere, but if you hate the filming style of Cloverfield skip this one as well.
Sam Kennedy leaves halfway through the cast and things devolve from there, in a good way. There is plenty of random philosophy, bad puns and plenty of random reader questions. Chris Plante and Scott Sharky are a team which 1UP has been sorely needing for a while. Get these guys together on more things like Listen UP.
What’s in the Box video is embedded after the break.
Who’s hungry for some Good Grief? The famished will no doubt enjoy this week’s platter of GDC predictions and rogue-likes. Wash the whole thing down with a community Q & A, including the question on everyone’s mind: if you could add exploding barrels to improve any videogame, what would it be?
