I know this is unrelated to everything that's going on in here at the moment, but thanks to the video game, I was inspired to catch up on Legend of Korra. Just binge watched through all of season 3 and HOLY SHIT IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME THAT THIS SHOW GOT AS AWESOME AS THE FIRST SHOW!

Carry on...

Yeah I gotta catch up. I watched S1 and then halfway through S2 I dropped out. I found it awful. Everyone tells me S3 and S4 are awesome though so I'm planning to power through S2, S3, S4 when I get the chance.

 

[Myggen]

The countdown still counts to 7am. Maybe it'll be filler until then? Or them playing with streaming settings for half an hour

Yeah, you're right. I'll set the timer to 7am.

 

[TriangleOfCorruption]

Jeff being on the Demo Derby is fantastic. Love hearing his knowledge and comments on games from the era being viewed.

ooh, this is the best news, watching immediately.

It really is great. My main beef with Season 2 was the useless side story that was going down in Republic City seemingly only to give the side characters something to do for the season and I didn't find the villain very interesting at all.

Without spoiling anything, I can say that season 3 takes place mostly outside of Republic City, Asami plays a much more useful role rather than made to look like an idiot constantly, Henry Rollins voices one of the characters, almost all of the new characters that are introduced are pretty great, the villains are much more interesting, and we get some great character development for Lin, the show's best character, in my opinion of course.

Hope that's enough to inspire you, or anyone else that gave up after season 2, to give the show another chance.

Also season 3 throws dark.

Tell me about it. That one particular bit in the finale where

Spoiler

Lin's sister made the combustion bender blow up her own head

was pretty damn nuts.

 

[Myggen]

Also Mary is a G.

"Face Drew" is a pretty good name for fake Drew.

Also, I think I need to give Korra another chance. I gave up on the show after season 1 for some reason, but enough people seem to have a good opinion of it that I will carry on. Since I'm watching The Knick right now it will probably be a nice distraction from that dark shit too.

As we just talked about, season 3 does get quite dark. Also, season 2 is kind of a mess. I almost want to talk you into skipping it, but it has a few events that are important in setting up the situation in season 3.

 

[Renpatsu]

I think it goes without saying that if you value fight choreography at all Legend of Korra is worth watching for that alone as it consistently steps that up a notch with every successive season.

Yeah, the consensus on season 2 not being very good is what kept me from watching past season 2. But I'll give it a shot.

 

[Dares]

Yeah season 2 was the weakest.

Season 3 and 4 so far have been really good.

 

[Teddified]

Oh wow that outlaw golf intro is crazy.

 

[Ostinatto]

Wow Dan's Goty is Shadow of mordor!!

 

[Basileus777]

Outlaw Golf is killing me.

 

[Brashnir]

Clem from Outlaw Golf is actually Dan Ryckert.

 

[Basileus777]

Dan's despairs at seeing all of those LOTR videos.

 

[Hot Coldman]

[Fantastapotamus]

Who's the guy on the left? HA ZING
Nobody ever made that joke before I bet.

 

[Rainmaker]

Demo Derby is perfect for Jeff. That way a great way to pass the time.

 

[robotrock]

Shadow of Mordor is Dan's GOTY so far. All possibilities of a Bayonetta 2 GOTY have been dropped.

 

[Brashnir]

I'm 100% certain that that joke was not made in post #12426 in this thread.

[Jintor]

I know rhapsody is not exactly a common everyday term, but i actually physically shuddered a little when Dan was like 'did queen invent the word rhapsody?'

 

[Zaph]

White boys trying to remember lines from bad rap music and picking out bling.

Danny, you're better than this.

 

[Hot Coldman]

The SGDQ 2014 run of Metal Wolf Chaos is mandatory viewing. It is fucking amazing.

He was joking there, it wasn't a real question.

FFNY is the best wrestling/fighting/straight up and down fucking people up game ever made.

 

[Servbot #42]

I'm really looking forward to Extra Life: GB Chicago, i wonder what Patrick has cooked up.

Mary's subway story has confirmed she needs to be on an episode of the bombcast soon.

Fake Drew is annoying as hell, I'm going to bed.

Is there a video bookmark of that story? Because i really don't want to search the whole stream for that.

 

[Jintor]

He was joking there, it wasn't a real question.

Damnit Dan I can't even tell anymore.

 

[Wunder]

He was joking there, it wasn't a real question.

sometimes its impossible to tell

From owns the IP. Devolver Digital have been trying to talk them into a PC re-release.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

[NumberThree]

http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=104828
Just short of $1700

edit: Yeah, 3h 15min sounds right if they're starting at 7 AM San Francisco time.

 

[Myggen]

i thought it was on the 25?

Nah, Chicago stream is this morning.

 

[Brashnir]

Just to confirm, it's now more or less 3 hours 15 minutes until the stream starts?

yes, if you go by the originally announced start time. 2:45 if you go by the upcoming schedule on the front page.
