Greetings.
LGR here with something... I'm so amused by!
You know, it may not look like much yet but I promise you it is.
I actually played through this game recently called Firewatch.
Absolutely enjoyed the crap out of it, it's...
a lot of fun to analyze and just fun to go through, it's...
a game where you sort of walk around the wilderness as a dude,
and you're talking to someone about things, and you know I really don't want to spoil it
because it's a very mystery-laden adventure game thing about humanity
And it also happens to be very gorgeous, absolutely great-looking game
And at one point in the game, you run across this disposable camera.
And there's a really neat gimmick with this, so you can take pictures of whatever you want,
like you could screenshots, for instance, on Steam or something,
and it will save them as those as well, but at the end you're shown them in the credits,
and then after that, you're given a link to print them out!
By the company, and they will send them to you in the mail, and that's what I have here!
These come from a company called Fotodome, the place for photos.
Now I haven't actually looked to see that they do other stuff, but I assume they do,
but yeah, they sent it in this nice little package with the Firewatch logo right there.
And it's got the name of your character in the game.
The dates, you know, 1989 since that's when it takes place, and even the fake film types here.
The Fiji and Kodiak. Haha!
This is really cool stuff, I think.
And let's just take a look inside here, because man,
this is super nostalgic, and in itself, getting pictures developed,
But I've never had the experience of doing this, you know, virtually,
taking screenshots, and then,
here they are, they turn into actual pictures.
Just take a look at this.
These are REALLY nice quality pictures here.
Let me zoom in the camera here so you can see.
You know, I'm really impressed with these prints, I mean, they look like legit pictures.
I mean, really, I guess they are,
they're just of a virtual environment.
The colors are very rich. It's a very richly colored game as well,
and there's a lot of orange tones in the game, and it picks those up,
very nicely, in these prints.
I'm just so amused by this! This is such a dumb gimmick,
It's exactly the kind of gimmick that I love!
You know, just wandering around in this virtual world felt like I was going there anyway,
and you know, just...
There's a butterfly in the sky, and I took it with a camera that didn't have a zoom lens, so you know, it's restrictive, but...
Yeah, it's just...
This is neat.
This is SUPER COOL.
And it really has nothing to do with the game itself, I mean...
Photography isn't necessarily a big thing in the game,
but imagine other games where photography was a thing
with Dead Rising games, for instance. I would love to have some printout options on those.
I mean, sure, I could just have them printed by this company.
But the fact is you can do it within the game,
and, you know, they send you an email with all the information and whatnot,
It's such... a neat idea to me.
I love this.
And, you know, I didn't really fill up my roll of film in the game,
and so I actually didn't exactly get my full money's worth here.
I think I had a few seven pictures left on the roll.
But, you know what?
This is just, a neat little gimmick.
To get people into the game even more
after you've already played it, even!
And, you know, it makes me want to go through it again, and just...
I don't know, there a lot of different things about the game that I like.
But this right here, this is such a fun little thing,
Completely unnecessary, and yes, it costs more money on top of the $20 game itself.
But I don't care! I think this is cool.
And I just wanted to share it.
Thank you very much for watching.
