Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
That Dan Ryckert is so dumb, how could he not know about Africe in World War 2? He should have played more Call of Duty 2, then he wouldn't have embarassed himself today. Hope Jeff fires him immediately.

Gies wasn't lying when he said Brad's team name was amazing.

I'll admit I didn't know for sure if there was any major campaigns in Africa during WWII. It makes perfect sense when I think about it but I didn't know off the top of my head. The focus is squarely on Europe / a little bit of the Pacific theatre with regards to WWII in popular culture.
I'm not proud of not knowing, but being someone who's main source of knowledge on WWII is movies, popular culture, and history classes I took in school Africa is barely ever mentioned. I remember learning about WWII in middle school, the class was almost entirely focused on the Holocaust and the general Who, What, When, Why, How of WWII. I'm sure they mentioned a bit about Africa but it would have been in passing. In University I took one Canadian History course which covered a bit of WWII from Canada's perspective if Africa was mentioned then it was in passing as well, I also took a Holocaust course and understandably it wasn't mentioned.
Again, I'm the ignorant party here. I just don't like the idea that it's ridiculous for someone not to know that there were battles in Africa in WWII.
That's pretty great.
What a ridiculous thing to post.

Yeah, I'm actually surprised that a lot of people seem to hate Dark Messiah. I thought the game was fucking awesome. Freezing the ground and letting enemies slide of into their doom? How can anybody not like this?

I got Dark Messiah on amazon for like $1 a year ago. Never played it. Does it still hold up? Might finally give it a play.
I'd like to see brad and friends actually try league and maybe make a video series out of it. It would inevitably lead to brad shitting on it for its "simplicity" I'm sure, but it might make an interesting video. This is coming from a big lol fan though so I'm probably overestimating how interesting it would actually be.

Daves enthusiasm being dropped everytime a game broke and vinny laughing him was so good. I need to watch it again.

In somewhat related news, can't recommend Valiant Hearts enough... excellent writing, beautiful art, some history thrown in... dog. Just an all around great game set during World War I.
Oddly, I was more disappointed by the 'shoot the dynamite in mid air' comment. Yes that would ordinarily be awesome, but clearly sniper elite is not that kind of game. Yes, even allowing for exploding X-Ray testicles.
Honestly the only racing game (in development) I have any interest in atm. Bless BugBear for not going the sterile, "sleek", "social" route.

Really, DMoMM is an awesome game. You can do so much more than just that (even though ths is still pretty cool). And the three playstyles (magic, sword and stealt) all feel pretty rewarding and....good. They feel just good. Story is a bit eh, but whatever you can shrink an Ork and step on him, what more do you want?

Um why do people think Dan is not a history expert? He even knew that Teddy Roosevelt is the one that first coined the phrase "aaah I'm inside of you". I'm curious how many of you so called "history experts" knew that

So Dan has Vinny's laugh and Patricks' slap-on-knee-when-laughing quirk...
Is Dan just the Perfect Cell of Giant Bomb - a perfected collection of all the other duders' traits? Vinny would know what I'm talking about... VINNY!!
It's a great game.
I like it more than the Half-Life games; it feels, to me, like a game that really understood how to make an immersive first-person game on the Source engine.

Silly trivia you'd find on a snapple bottlecap versus knowledge of a massive, multi year long campaign.

you're a snapple bottlecap
As something of a self-proclaimed connoisseur of bad western RPGs (the more janky and dumb the better - yes I'm that guy that got all 1,000 gamerscore in Two Worlds) it's my biggest regret that I've never played DMoMM. I think I'm going to rectify this.

Nuh uh
Sniper Elite 3 does look fun although the desert work is a bit boring artistically. Uncharted 3 is the only great desert area I can think of and it's a pretty small area of the game. Still, nice lighting.

He is probably the best thing on Playroom though.
Jeff should buy WWE i feel like he can create some good content.
EDIT
I learned World War 2 in modern studies....
You'll be disappointed, it plays very well. I can't think of a game that has better first person melee combat
