@Kman, it's obviously PewDiePie isn't it. Afraid of the hate? Tongue
TBH, he got me more into amnesia

Naaaah. Though I will admit I did watch him for a while until... well, we've been over this a hundred times over. No need to bring it back up.

I actually watched PewDie's videos way before I actually played Amnesia. I don't see a problem. If you like something then you like something.

I found the demo from Penumbra Overture in the German Computer magazine "Computer Bild Spiele". I really enjoyed this, bought the full game and followed Frictional Game and now I am here! Big Grin

RE: How did you guys find out about Amnesia and/or Penumbra ?

I've already mentioned it in the past, but here goes :

My first ever exposure to Penumbra : Overture was this Slovak game review written in March 2007.

Later, when I bought the game (around February 2008, I think), I also joined the forums, tried out the original tech demo and started watching the latest news on the Black Plague release. And I've been a "Fanumbra" and, by extension, an FG fan ever since.

I only sporadically read or watched news about Amnesia while it was in development (but I went bananas after seeing how user-friendly the new SDK tools have become - a major negative aspect of Penumbra was, that it wasn't really comfortably moddable). I visited the forums more infrequently, in order to keep as much a neutral opinion on the upcoming game as possible. Besides, I had other things to do as well. In early September 2010, I downloaded the demo and... it was like playing Overture for the first time and I was hooked once again ! But I've noticed one thing : Some bits of the demo scared at least as much as the most intense bits of Black Plague (the water lurker had me dumbstruck when I first encountered it). Big Grin I planned to buy the game soon after, but the purchase kept being delayed by all kinds of common day duties and my indecision of whether to buy the game as a download or a retail purchase (eventually, I decided to go for retail, though I would have originally preferred a direct purchase).
