Broken Age Act 2 Discussion
I think that there was a project name that got muted at some point in the latest episode, so they seem to have at least one unannounced thing under their belt.
When is the official release date? tuesday? And are backers getting any early access to it?

Release for backers:
We’re working with Humble and Steam to get codes out at 12:01 am Eastern on Monday April 27th, 24 hours in advance of the public release.

oh hm, thats cool i guess. Not sure how theyr going to manage that with everyone already having it in their steam libraries.
And it would be way cooler if it was out for the weekend 
Once this is released, I’m tempted to get the game.
Recently completed: Game of Thrones (decent), Tales from the borderlands (great!), Life is Strange (great!), Stasis (good), Annas Quest (great!); Broken Age (poor)

I guess they could do it by offering a short time DLC code to the backers and then just flip the full release switch on the release day.

Yeah, that seems like perhaps the only way to push the update to ONLY backers and make everyone else wait another day.
So, they’ve released it for the backers. Not as an DLC, but as an backer exclusive beta update, which you activate with a beta code. Downloading it now.
Well, the game is finally OUT (for bakers).
But only the Steam version. Guess I’ll wait for the proper Steam/DRM-free one.
Still, congratulations to Tim and his team! They went a long and hard way.
PC means personal computer
Reviews are coming out now as well, and so far positive:
*WARNING: SOME CONTAIN SPOILERS OF ACT 1!!!!*
IGN - 9.0
Game Informer - 9.25
Push Square (Playstation 4 version) - 8/10
Gamer Headlines - 9/10
Shack News - 7
Looks like a few are complaining about some difficult puzzles. Here is an article by Wired:

So that should make a lot of people here happy.
I’m a backer, but need to wait a few days to play it. Really looking forward to this!

There was a download link for the DRM-free version of the game on the bottom of my humble-bundle page.
RPS hated it, and PC Gamer gave it a mildly positive score based on the first part alone; being very critical of part two.
Keen to see how it stacks up to the excellent BoUT2.
RPS and PC Gamer being so negative on part 2 doesn’t bode very well but RPS does seem to be excessively critical of most adventures now.
IGN and Gameinformer reviews are hard to take seriously, hype-based press that almost never review traditional adventures and are just giving press to this one because it’s Double Fine…

Read my comment at your own risk. No spoilers, just disappointment.
I needed a break from BA part two, so I read those reviews just now. I seldom agree with John Walker and Richard Cobbett, and of course I should reserve judgment till I’ve finished the game, but IMO their negative opinion is at the very least somewhat justified. 
I think I understand now why Tim Schafer urged us to replay the first part, but I’m pissed at the reason why and at the same time glad I didn’t follow his advice. Revisiting the old locations and talking to the same people is also a letdown for me.
PS: AG’s review is glowing.
See you around, wolf. Nerissa

That’s what I afraid off from reading the reviews. I guess I’ll maintain my decision to play it at another time, from the start and when my grumpiness is gone
