We should combine ourselves, and win millions!
I know that much, but there is so much micromanaging going on a lot of the eccentricities goes over my head. had the same problem with The Sims, but on a much smaller level.

Arguably more embarrassing than the BF4 fiasco and middle-aged women who call things "da bomb" in 2014.
How much time do you have? Serious question.
VELVET SUNDOWN QL
Lovely Planet QL
TMNT QL
Don Bradman Cricket QL
Mario Party Stream (subscriber)
The past three UPFs (subscriber)
Mario Party Party (definite)
Velvet Sundown Premium
Velvet Sundown QL
Turtles training Lair QL
Don Bradman Cricket QL
Unprofessional Fridays (not the last one - still solid, the few before that)
Ghostship Aftermath QL
The others are a bonus on top.
EDIT beaten
Off the top of my head> The Mario Stream, UPF of the last three weeks/you can skip this week's if you have to narrow down the amount of videos, Ghostship Aftermath QL, Lovely Planet QL, Don Bradman Cricket 14 QL, TMNT QL, Velvet Sundown QL and Premium video, Bot Colony QL and Premium video.
There's a lot.
edit Man, so beaten.
I liked the Nintendo Land segment, the rest I'll agree with.

I guess playing Rogue legacy and watching Dota does not mix.
What are you talking about? That's how you do the Brad.
I've been playing it for a couple of hours after watching the QL, and BOY does it get hard.
Also, from the QLs comment section
The game is made for speedrunning.
I was busy for most of the week and just caught up on the Velvet Sundown and Mario Party videos today, and... I really want more of both. Hopefully they do end up playing through all of the Mario Party games, or at least the first few, since I remember those being pretty good. Though for the first few I actually mostly played the single player since I was renting them; I think the ones I played with family/friends were 5 and 6? I've definitely played 2 through 7 to some degree but I'm not sure which of the GameCube ones I rented. In any case, I'd like to see them play a few more soon (I expect when 10 comes out Dan'll get them to play that regardless). And ideally some Fortune Street, just because I'd like to see Dan's reaction to it.
I'm also the one who sent in the shoebox e-mail but it sounded a little more aggressive towards Dan than I intended, oops.

They need to play every Mario Party. Every one.
Mario Party 5 is where its at because the Super Duel mode is secretly better than the entire rest of the game.
I wonder if they'll do Advance just because that game's multiplayer consisted of a packed in sheet of paper as a "board" you had to get your own pieces for and you passed the gba around to play the minigames.
They went crazy with them during the Gamecube era. It was a dark time.
Haha, Nintendo really was desperate during the GC era.
I think you're taking Jeff too seriously. He plays up his role pretty well, but it's still a role. Ultimately they're playing a game for a couple hours, drinking and having fun - he'll live.

Even if Jeff genuinely doesn't like something he would likely do it anyway knowing that people would enjoy seeing it. Knowing that the fans would enjoy Mario Party and it would get lots of views (good for business) would easily overpower any reluctance about playing the game.

Indeed.
I think as long as he's having fun he will deal and if he's not having fun he can just shit on it instead.

I'd love to see the stats on that video. just based on the reaction here and the number of comments on the video, it has to have been one of the most popular shows they've had (not counting e3) in a long time.
I don't know what the number peaked at, but when I checked there were over 4k viewers when it was live, and that was for a show in the middle of the week, with only about 3 hours of notice that it was happening.
the secret best thing about doing the MP games chronologically is that each consecutive game is usually worse than the previous one, both in quality and general cheat-iness of the rules. 2 is probably better than 1, but then it's all downhill.

Yeah, that's why he did all those Endurance Runs over the years. Jeff is a man of the people !

Well i think his reluctance to do Endurance Runs goes beyond him not wanting to play through a game. They did pseudo-ERs already with Breaking Brad, Vinny's Dark Souls playthrough, and most recently VinnyVania. Those are just differently named ERs. I trust Jeff when it comes to what content they should produce, the dude has shown plenty of times he knows what he's doing.
I'm currently watching the WWF No Mercy Replay and Dan just told a crazy story about a time when he was watching wrestling and the news decided to interrupt it.

I think he'll do what's popular to the audience, up to the point that the rest of the site suffers.
I suspect they felt they could either do basically just ERs, or a lot more varied content. I really think it was just that the time investment wasn't worth it to him.
Mario Party Party would be an occasional thing, so it wouldn't be tying three people up for weeks on end.

I think that they are perfectly fine with doing endurance runs, it's just that they are never going to do content that requires a daily update.

It was interesting to hear him slowly warming up to Persona 4 as the game wore on. In the beginning you could tell his attitude was like, "Ugh. Why are we doing this?" and by the end you could tell it became at least somewhat endearing to him.

Then afterwards you realize he really loved the game since it (unofficially) won his own game of the year list

Apparently the footage is mirrored (i noticed it in their kinect videos) and they always pick right handed when the option pops up.
Yeah, I noticed that. #huh
Sadly the game is delisted too, though it should be re-downloadable if you downloaded it before
They're not, Jason just mirrored the image to match what we saw on screen. They always mirror the camera when doing Wii or Kinect quicklooks.
Infinite Justice

Yea Dan's shirt shows it also.
Damn, mirrors how do they work.
Oh right. Probably would have remembered that if it had been a Kinect game, they usually don't do greenscreen stuff otherwise.
