You'll be disappointed, it plays very well. I can't think of a game that has better first person melee combat

Oh, the physic feels so awesome in the game. Picking up a box and throwing it at an Orc is just so good. And it just doesn't get old. I need to replay this game.

 

[Tunesmith]

Now I'm starting to think we Finns are all alone in this!

Inwards is the norm everywhere (except Finland obv. ), except for disability stalls and some airports.
For previously mentioned reasons.

Speaking as a swede who has seen it all, just like Patrick Stewart in Extras.

 

[daydream]

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....

Aren't there naked people on there? How can cigs compete against that, my friend?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

The people who get naked on PSN aren't people you want to see naked.

 

[Jintor]

the main reason I thought it was funny the two of them didn't know that wwii took place in africa (ASSUMING THEY WEREN'T KIDDING WHICH THEY WELL MIGHT'VE BEEN) is Jeff's almost encylopedic knowledge of videogames and how he can pull off facts about pretty much anything in that field in seconds

I'd have thought there'd be at least a rommel or patton game in there somewhere

How do you know?

Spoiler

I guess you're right. Playroom is pretty sad, if you think about it.

 

[BeerSnob]

Enemy at the Gates a bad movie? GO BACK TO WATCH BEETHOVEN MOVIES RORIE, YOU TWAT.

He just said it was dour. You know, it could have done with a plucky comic relief sidekick like Stop or My Mom Will Shoot.

 

[sixghost]

I like Dan, even though he seems like another stereotypical American (loves wrestling, hates soccer, doesn't know history)

That's a very specific stereotype you have there.

Also, didn't Drew just mention on UPF that it was based in Libya?

 

[Serra]

So everything I have seen (or actually, heard) of Dan is the last Bombcast and now just watching the Sniper Elite QL. Dude just comes across as the stereotypical ignorant american.

Thats fine but the old crew already kinda has that covered. Drew and Rorie are the only ones who don't fit that bill.

Don't get me wrong, he seems decent otherwise and im sure I will warm up to him when we get more content from him.

You'll be disappointed, it plays very well. I can't think of a game that has better first person melee combat

I think Condemned does it even better but Dark Messiah has awesome melee too.

 

[Jintor]

Oh Ryan ;___;

I like one playroom streamer a lot. He just streams him self singing the Ghostbusters theme everyday.

Spoiler

I really need to play games more

 

[Volotaire]

I haven't watched the livestream yet, but the Giant Beast video was superb. I'm really looking forward to seeing what Vinny and Alex do next. I was surprised too how young the owner of the store looked for what he does.

You really think Vinny and especially Brad fits that bill?

Anyways, looking forward to the Unfinished of The Forest tomorrow!

lolwut?

 

[Pelydr]

Serra where are you from and how did you develop this dumb stereotype? I'm guessing tv and movies.

 

[TharpDaddy]

I hope Dan is part of "Unfinished: The Forest" tomorrow. We can find out if his approach to open world games is similar to Vinny's.

 

[Hot Coldman]

The people who get naked on PSN aren't people you want to see naked.

well if they were, it's basically Livejasmin at the point, and that's uncomfortable

whereas it being closer to Chatroulette standards of nudity is still uncomfortable, but in a totally predictable way that doesn't make it onto evening news

 

[Serra]

Serra where are you from and how did you develop this dumb stereotype? I'm guessing tv and movies.

Im from Finland and I lived/worked in L.A (Pasadena) for ~3 months back in 2009. And your tag is pretty quotable right now.

You really think Vinny and especially Brad fits that bill?

I do. Vinny (and Jeff) pretty much admit their lack of knowledge every time science/history or anything like that becomes the topic. Brad does not and then talks shit 90% of the time.

Again, GB is the only "video games" website apart from GAF (and some eve online forums) I go to regularly. I pretty much watch everything they put out. Im a premium member there and have been as long as they have had that option. So I really like and support those guys.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

First regret of non-Vinny/Jeff QL was "The Italian" in Sniper Elite multiplayer. I bet Vinny would have cracked up at that.

 

[Professor Fog]

So I'm on vacation in San Fran for the first time, and it turns out my hotel is literally right next to the CBSI building. There's a Link sticky note Mosaic in the window that I can see from my room. Guys, where can I buy some binoculars?

 

[Conan819]

L.A. is not a great representation of America. Either way stereotyping people as ignorant is quite ironic if you consider stereotypes are just a way to mask your own ignorance.

 

[Serra]

L.A. is not a great representation of America.

I bet you would have said that about any city I named. Its not like I haven't travelled anywhere else in the world (or 'merica for that matter) than Finland and the USA.

Wow that OnGamers story is kinda crazy

They should hire Cyborgmatt when OnGamers goes under

 

[aspaceman55]

You're from a country that has a smaller land mass than California. A country mind you that doesn't have even a fraction of the diversity in race and culture that America has. America is an extremely large country. It is full of all sorts of people. L.A. is not a good representation of an entire country.

It's really crazy how huge Reddit is. They have an enormous influence on the success and failure of websites.

It kind of concerns me, considering the community that likes to frequent Reddit. They were part of the force that invaded Giant Bomb yesterday and "defended" the site.

 

[Incandenza]

lolwut?

Rorie knows a lot about physics and literature.

he'll just insist everyone calls him by his pro gamer handle

:lol You spent three months in LA and what you came back with is Americans love wrestling, hate soccer (the LA Galaxy is actually really fucking popular there) and know nothing of history? Yeah, you are just trying to justify some superiority complex you have.

 

[popo]

Someone message Vinny. I hear CBS are about to have some spare office space and equipment they can nab. OnGamers is NY based right?

Seriously. If it was that one dude and they fired him - I can see them getting the ban overturned.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Reddit is a cesspit. Like a mainstream 4chan.

 

[f0rk]

I don't think he'll mind if they call him by his real name, Matt Cyborg.

 

[Jintor]

The part that rubs me the wrong way is that the main communities ongamers posted to (Dota 2, League of Legends) really had no problem with them posting their content frequently. It's a sitewide policy that they ran afoul of, and apparently it's going to have massive ramifications.

 

[notworksafe]

ugh even worse

 

[Felix Lighter]

Drew's reaction to the WW2 Africa discussion. Ha ha.

It still hurts.

it was really only that one guy who spammed some others messages to post shit

it was way out of line

but still it shouldnt effect the rest of ongamers, especially now that hes fired they should reverse the ban

If people accused GB of racism for hiring white people, what bout this guy

I am going to start this petition by saying that it is perfectly fine to say things as they are, without sugar-coating them. However, it is unacceptable to use racial slurs, or incredibly offending statements when talking about a team, a player, a tournament or a country. Duncan "Thorin" Shield is a Senior eSports Content Creator for the onGamers.com website. A 31 years old invidivual, Mr. Shields has been an eSports journalist for the past 13 years and is the founder of the famous "Grilled" interview series. A former editor-in-chief for SK Gaming, Mr. Shields has been and still is heavily involved with the Counter-Strike scene and has recently appeared in the League of Legends community.

It is because of these credentials that I find it to be completely unacceptable for such an influential figure in the eSports scene to make racist remarks regarding Team SoloMid's Manager, Andy "Reginald" Dinh. In the last episode of the "Summoning Insight" show, where Mr. Shields and Cristopher "Montecristo" Mykles comment on the League of Legends professional scene, the former compared Mr. Dinh to Caesar from "Planet of the Apes", essentially comparing him to an ape, which is a known insult the League of Legends community used to attack Mr. Dinh with. This comes as a result of Mr. Dinh refusing to do interviews with onGamers because of the "Summoning Insight" show, a view shared by Cloud 9's member William "Meteos" Hartman, which cancelled his interview after Mr. Shields expressed his amusement publicly, regarding a joke about Mr. Hartman. Mr. Shields has also been fired from his job as a commentator at this year's Counter Strike: Global Offensive's IEM World Championships in Katowice, after making some serious offensive remarks regarding Poland on a live web talk-show. A link containing his statements as well as a statement from Paul "Redeye" Chaloner, ESL's Head of Commentary can be found here: http://www.esportsheaven.com/news/64245/thorin-from-unfiltered-to-unemployed

"Well it’s in Poland and I think the tickets are pretty cheap so I assume it will be sold out.. Because what the fuck else is going on in Poland? And they’ve got that existential hole of being Polish to try and fill with some esports.”

“Maybe, it’s like when you have the Olympics somewhere in Africa and they can all pretend they’re part of the developed world for two weeks, and then everyone just leaves and they’re still in the dirt.”

“Poland is one of the worst countries in Europe, bro. It’s one of those countries where when they opened up that Schengen Agreement for European countries, where if you’re in the EU you can move freely between countries.. Like, the second they opened that up everyone in Poland was just like “Cool, let’s get the fuck out of Poland” and they just went to the next countries.”

“Put it this way, it’s another place also where there’s constantly news stories where at their football games they have straight up racism aimed at all black players, with the whole crowd like chanting stuff or throwing banana peels. That happened like 50 years ago in the developed European countries - that shit happens, like, now in Poland.”

“If you hold the event somewhere shitty, then it’s going to seem awesome and loads more people will come.”

ongamers seems to be a real shit show.

Yeah I don't know how Slasher thought that was going to play, wasn't Chanman also banned? Some mod claiming he had 40 alt accounts?

not anymore

ongamers seems to be a real shit show.

He also called 2 professional league players "ugly motherfuckers" and spent some minutes mocking how they looked. Thorin is known for being a bit of an ass.

 

[EdReedFan20]

I think it'd be cool of Patrick, or maybe more appropriately Brad, did an Interview Dumptruck with Cigs66 (if he was so willing). I'm sure he has a lot of stuff to tell.

I want Vinny to interview him. They should get him to do a live performance!
