Bad weird for BLOPS2? Mike is so wrong. The story was friggin' awesome. So many awesome moments too.

 

[Neuromancer]

Yeah I liked it too. If anything I'd pick apart the gameplay (or lack there of, way too many in game cutscenes for my tastes.) Haven't gotten to that part of the show yet though.

 

[eznark]

Was there some weird editing to start this show or did Phil really just unprompted shit all over Ethan's parenting ability?

Wait...what? When? Ethan is actually a pretty fantastic parent.

 

[eznark]

That beginning story. It seemed so sudden and random.

Well, I had to tell the story about how a 6-year-old accused me of spitting on her. Ethan--as a darn good parent--handled it exceptionally well.

Spoiler

And seriously, I really didn't spit on the poor kid.

That's what I thought. So the people there actually believed the child but you took to a public forum to loudly proclaim your innocence! Think they believe you now?

 

[Neuromancer]

Silent Hill, widely considered by me to be the best horror game of all time, ended with a blooper reel. So, it can be done. It probably wouldn't have been appropriate for the Walking Dead though.

You could have sneakily called the supercut 'episode 319' to help you gain ground in your pursuit of Gamers With Jobs.

Regarding Walking Dead, I'm wondering how the guys felt about the fact that the game has

Spoiler

two "Matrix Reloaded" moments where you basically sit down with a character and have them re-explain the entire plot to you again. Maybe that made sense with the guy at the end of the game, but doing that in the middle of the game with Christa seemed kind of extraneous in hindsight

.

I totally agree that the

Spoiler

Kenny death with Ben made absolutely no sense as presented

anyway.

 

[SmithnCo]

The

Spoiler

path where you don't save Ben sounds like it makes a lot more sense than the other path. Why did I save this guy again?

 

[Neuromancer]

Ben's a fucking asshole.

My only regret with the game was

Spoiler

not getting to kill him off sooner. When the first opportunity arose, I jumped.

 

[LiK]

No one asked if they cried in Ep 5. Oh well.

 

[SuperPac]

I did not.

 

[LiK]

I did not.

Monster! .....I didn't either.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

I cried when I realized it was another short podcast because I've been skipping all the Walking Dead stuff

 

[mik]

I did not cry. Come on.

 

[LiK]

I did not cry. Come on.

You're heartless, like me.

 

[Neuromancer]

I bet Phil cried. I imagine he's not afraid to get in touch with his sensitive side, unlike you brutes.

 

[Massa]

Spoiler

The guy is an idiot, but that's not reason enough for me to kill him. Episode 5 vindicated my decision with his awesome speech too.

Well his idiotic and cowardly behavior got

Spoiler

Carly killed, and nearly got Clem killed. Not to mention put all of us in danger at the motel. And I'm probably forgetting some things. Fuck that guy.

 

[Whimsical Phil]

I bet Phil cried. I imagine he's not afraid to get in touch with his sensitive side, unlike you brutes.

Strangely enough, I didn't. I was bummed out, sure, but no tears. Maybe because I had a month to resign myself to

Spoiler

Lee's fate

.

That said, I was welling up like crazy during MGS4's microwave hallway.

[Oxx]

I don't think I'm even going to start the podcast until I get the final part of Walking Dead done.

Then I have to work out if I should listen to the ep. 5 spoiler section, or go and listen to the compilation of all 5 spoiler sections.

I actually had some fun listening to the previous segments while editing together the compilation.

 

[eznark]

All this attention makes me think I should pick it back up.

 

[Oxx]

Episode 5 has given me my first technical problems. I feel like I'm getting the full Telltale experience now.

I've managed to avoid save bugs though. Thankfully.

 

[stewy]

I did not cry. It was definitely a more emotional scene than I'm used to experiencing in a video game, though.

 

[LiK]

Ah, zero for zero on the tears counter. Good to know, thanks.

 

[Neuromancer]

All this attention makes me think I should pick it back up.

If nothing else it is worth it for the ending.

 

[Oxx]

I cried.

 

[randomlyrossy]

I'm surprised none of you cried. I had tears streaming down my face, it was rough.

 

[Neuromancer]

I'm not ashamed to admit I shed a manly tear or two.

 

[Oxx]

My reflective screen meant that I could actually see my own tears during the ending.

Immersion.

 

[A Human Becoming]

I didn't cry, but I also felt like the ending fell flat a tad.

 

[miknein]

Do these guys have a Kickstarter we could back so I don't have to listen to a baby crying all through out the podcast? I already listen to Weekend Confirmed and that's all I can take :-(

(is there a "get over it" GIF?)

 

[Neuromancer]

What exactly would the Kickstarter be for? A baby muffler?


I don't think so mik

Close enough.

A studio to record the podcast, just like the Idle Thumbs guys did. I'm pretty sure I'll move along at one point and find another podcast to replace it, it's just that they seem to fit in at this moment so perfectly as a good monday night podcast

Oh man, what a spit in the face.

 

[Whimsical Phil]

Oh man, what a spit in the face.

It wasn't me!

[miknein]

Oh man, what a spit in the face.

What do you mean? I apologize if I offended anyone Do they have bad history with the Idle Thumbs guys? Or studios and proper equipment? Just started to listen to them three episodes ago so I have no clue :-3

 

[Ondore]

Let's just say it would have to be a big office.

 

[stewy]

We'd need enough money to move all three US hosts to Nova Scotia and then some cash for office space.

Let's do this thing!

 

[Neuromancer]

Classic Phil!

I won't move to any socialist nation.

 

[eznark]

Does it stick to the tired "humans are the real monsters" garbage like the second episode?

 

[mik]

The second episode is kind of a big, ham-fisted anomaly. HOWEVER, the theme you describe is kind of the norm for every zombie movie/game/book/comic ever. So, yeah, kinda.
