Brad mentioned during the WiiU stream about doing the challenge rooms in Arkham City. Would watch. Those challenge rooms get really hard with Catwoman and Nightwing.
 
i dont think they will have started doing goaty deliberations yet, from what i remember they usually do it in a long hot session before they go home for christmas??
 
I don't feel like recording a Walking Dead spoilercast would be a worthwhile endeavour: I liked the game, but the narrative just isn't that dense that I see the need for extended discussion on it. Everything is pretty neatly resolved, not many interesting questions (where meaningful speculation could happen) are left in regards to the games happenings.
At this point it's so rare for the majority of GB to have all played the same game in a timely fashion, that I'd take whatever spoilercast I can get. Can't even remember the last one they did...
 
So where is my content? I figured that at least the Far Cry 3 QL would be out by now. Also nothing on the schedule...

Here is what Jeff said over on the site:

Yeah, the time allocated to Far Cry 3 and PlanetSide 2 Quick Looks yesterday was instead spent wiping and reinstalling Windows on the office machine so that Far Cry 3 wouldn't run like total garbage on it. Kinda threw a wrench into this week's plans.

Now admittedly I don't know the details of what it takes to run a site, or the specifics of what these guys do on a day-to-day basis, but to me this isn't a good excuse. Sure, it makes sense for why there isn't Far Cry 3 or PlanetSide 2 QLs, but what about... Killzone HD? The new Ratchet game? Fifa? When Vikings Attack? Wonderbook?

In my opinion, there have only been two Spoilercasts; MGS4 in 08, and MW2 in 09. I don't think the short talks with the developers of Portal 2 or Mass Effect count.

Kinda sucks that my two favorite types of content they've ever done—Endurance Runs and Spoilercasts—are the two things they seem intent on not returning to.

Nah, it's legit. If someone from Gamespot said that, then yeah, the size of their team means the excuse wouldn't fly.

But what attracts so many people to GB is the tight crew, but that means taking the good with the bad. Sometimes something as small as getting a PC working can occupy one of the only two available editors - and you can't exactly have the other editor shoot a QL on their own.
 
Re-listening through the '08 game of the year discussions, Brad begins his MGS4 filibuster with 45 minutes left after everyone else had come around to GTAIV. :P

Also, I totally forgot that Fable 2 was on their top ten list.

They really liked Fable 2. It's part of why they were so disappointed in Fable 3.

How long does it take to wipe and reinstall an OS? Do you have to sit there and monitor it?

This may seem like a snarky question, but I'm asking honestly. I really am a dumbass when it comes to this stuff.
 
Fable 3 was one of the few times I can think of Vinny going in hard on a game. It might even be the only time

I sort of remember him ripping on Homefront after it showed up in his GameFly queue. Because, you know, it's fucking Homefront.

Set Phasers on Fun was what got me into watching their video content. Before then I would only listen to the Bombcast occasionally.
 
Fair enough, I suppose. I've never played it myself. I just heard about things like this (spoilers): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TaGnBumzdus#t=3m16s

Press X to Hide In The Mass Grave

You know, I didn't get to this part in my hour, and I was ready to hate it as I clicked the youtube link, and again I wasn't appalled. I mean, the spoiled part is laughably bad, and seemingly attempts to ruin the effect that they were going for, as does the one character asking "what!?" like three times, but overall I don't find this objectionable. I think it's a good idea that isn't executed very well, but isn't awful either. *shrug*

Maybe I'm just giving the game a bit of a pass because so many people have talked about it as if it's the worst piece of shit ever, and then every time I see it I go "hey... that's not so bad at all!"
 
AMAZING voice acting for this villan. Like Holy shit it's almost perfect.

Edit: Actually, everything about that character is super well done.
