I just finished The Mario Party Party. Jeff Gerstmann is the best. I'm pretty sure the game screwed him over a few times during the mini-games. The Dan and Brad feud seemed pretty real though. You... you don't think Dan hates Brad do you? I sure hope not.

I have a career job and I still do that (also my washing machine never actually cleans)

He didn't even know that they make biodegradable plastics now!
I assume you mean dishwasher. lol
But I mean, it's a couple of plates... unless you have like 20 people in your family or something. And in that case, just get people to help!

Oh yeah, all you paper plate guys - have you ever eaten out of a shoebox?

You would be surprised how frequently you find your self washing dirty dishes when your single (and wash by hand)
But it's not a difficult or time consuming task at all, if you're doing it right, especially if it's only your own shit.
But you're assuming I'm smart enough to do the dishes after each meal, which I'm obviously not. So because of that laziness it's a fucking chore to do dishes when there's like three days old plates standing there.
I've become better at it now, but there's a reason I used paper plates throughout all my years as a student. And that reason is: I'm lazy as shit. Don't underestimate how lazy people can become when they're single and live in a small, rented apartment.
You can totally gift yearly subs. Just give your code to someone when signing up. No way to gift monthly subs though, as far as I know.
I know a lot of people that use paper plates when they can. It is probably for lazy reasons mostly but I have always seen it as completely normal. I go through periods where I'll buy paper plates and not use actual dishes unless it's a special occasion. Same with plastic cups.
But like I said, I know a lot of people that do the same so I never thought differently about it.

Paper plates are annoying, I'd find the hassle of eating off them more of a problem than washing a plate after eating.
Only full year subs. Would be great if they had monthly codes available.

Well yeah part of the process is keeping on top of it and making it easy for yourself by cleaning as you prepare/cook, and cleaning up soon after you're done. Being lazy and leaving stuff lying around just creates much more work for yourself in the future, and probably increases the chances that you won't fully clean everything either (if washing by hand), which is maybe the even bigger crime here. Dried-on food on dishes and cutlery that someone decided were "clean enough" is gross.
Just to clarify about paper plates because I see some more replies when I type this. I don't have a problem with people using paper plates, but I think there's something wrong if you're using them day in day out because of the whole washing dishes laziness thing.
When you sign up for a yearly sub, you should get the option to gift it to someone. It's a code IIRC. I could be making that up, but I swear it's there.
Anyone know for sure?
Make no mistakes, I'm not saying it's a great way to live!

This should work when you're logged in: https://auth.giantbomb.com/billing/gift/
It's a bit hidden when you're in the account section, it's in the top bar.

As with a lot of things, they could make a better job of highlighting it than they do now.
Lol, that gif is fucking scary.

oh man all three of those are me. I should probably just kill myself now.
In my defense, my apartment's dishwasher is TERRIBLE and I only really use it to clean my silverware. plates and stuff need to be done by hand. most of the time it's just not worth it.

You're in for a treat. Can't remember a better stream or the last time I laughed so hard.
Loved Jeff's rant about Toad the poet.

I wish I could favorite this comment or something.
I haven't laughed that hard in a while. My eyes are watering.

I was definitely questioning Jeff's decision to do 50 turns but then all of the good drama and shouting came out in the last hour.
Not sure why I should be surprised that Jeff knows what makes for entertaining videos. Or that he's totally okay with playing the heel.
I think the people that say Jeff is jaded or hates everything don't realize that he's actually just really good at playing the straight man or devil's advocate to make things more interesting. There's a reason why his reviews and tumblr/jar time anecdotes tend to seem more positive than his cast/stream discussions.
edit: Also I hope that they saw an upswing in subs or get a lot of hits on this Mario Party stream so that they feel compelled to continue along this path of madness.
I remember I stopped playing at MP6 because the post-game star rewards were so broken that the entire game was arbitrary. That should be pretty fascinating.

let's face it, he wouldn't do videos like this or pick 50 turns if he wasn't having fun or deriving some kind of satisfaction from it. even if it's just for the satisfaction of a job well done/ quality entertainment.

That's good to hear. Sounded like he actually got use out of the lock as well on the latest UPF.
The mods were Nazis?

only if you consider locking down problem threads before they got out of hand like other recent events nazism (like the people posting in those threads did apparently).
but hey, surprise, people who get off on disparaging other people on message boards also seem to get angry when they're forcibly made to shut up.
