Today's video was so good. The best by far.
I'm kinda furious Spec Ops has been over looked so far (not listened to the podcasts though incase Brad is about to correct me). It's the only game this year, besides TWD, where I've found myself thinking about it even when I've not been playing the game.

Every time you say things like this is makes me feel really guilty about not owning VLR. : (
Because he described it using words like "transcendental."
...wait.
Liking the variety of things making it in the lists this year. I said it before, but I'll say it again- really feel like this year has much more diversity than last year. Hopefully gets some people to try out some more of these things, like the Asura's Wrath stuff recently in here.
edit: Also, using the clip from ZombiU when he placed the mine on the floor in the QL at the end of that pick was great.
Is that a double-negative? I don't think the word "wrong" counts.

Cop show was by far the best.
Brad with the Beard, Davisowski, Drunk Drew, Sleazy Italian Vinny and Hardcore Dave. Unparalleled.
If they didn't want to be judged as dirtbags/assholes/children, maybe they should've chosen better fucking names.

Bullshit. I 100% agree with Patrick. If you pick a name like xXxthug420xXx you're either a 12-year old, a fucking douchebag or you're the ironic hipster yourself. Neither someone I want anything to do with in my free time playing games.And god Patrick....Journey, Journey, Journey... /hipster bs. Journey got him to play games with dirtbags? Nice assumption. Deciding on the quality and standing of people through their names on PSN. I worry more about people who use their real names as their online nickname!

Everyone loves to troll Alex.

The audio is broken. Earlier audio plays over itself at some point.
Yeah I just noticed Vinny's reply.
At least its an even number. There are languages and dialects that can flip the switch an uneven number of times. A triple negation remains a negation in those cases, it's just a very emphatic one.

haven't listened to them since i'm still playing TWD, but the fact that Dust is even mentioned is a travesty. shit's like mediocre sonic fan fiction.
Uh how much Dust have you played?
and I ordered it this morning! : )

Judging people by their name is a childish, douchebag thing to do.
I, and I think also bradX0r, agrees.
I cringed at that part, I guess the other guys did too since it was no response to it.
Didn't Ryan talk pretty positively about AC3 around the time he reviewed it? They are destroying that game in the goty podcast. Even he barely has anything good to say about it.
I wonder how many people figured it out before pulling the trigger. I realized it right after I did it, which is probably the perfect way for it to happen. I have no idea how I would feel about that game if that part didn't work.

It's literally impossible for them to ruin your game of journey considering there is no way to grief and nothing to do but move forward. The only praise the game gets from me here is limiting you so much that you will generally play along.
And yes, echoing some of the above with judging based off a name is incredibly childish. Sure, many people pick very stupid things to represent themselves with online. xXxWombInvaderxXx with a 420 clan tag just may not take videogames that seriously, it doesn't mean he's a shitty person or beneath you.
yes YES, you are guilty!

Yeah, it just took a lot of air out of the narrative for me.

All I know is that I'm happy I stopped playing Assassin's Creed after sequence 6.

Which part of Spec Ops are we talking about? I haven't listened to the podcast yet.
War Peaceman
You're a big guy.
Jeff has made it very clear in the past that he wishes the
white phosphorous scene in Spec Ops was a choice. He wanted the game to allow you to have the option to jump down and fight the Army entrenchment with small arms fire instead of the WP mortar

I see. I don't know.
It's pretty much the tipping point that pushes the game where they wanted to go. I don't think it's a game that wants to give you a morally good out. I think storywise, I would have appreciated a bit more subtly, though. They ram their point so far down your throat by the end, it looses a bit of its punch. Ok ok, I get it, I'm a miserable piece of shit. I did like the change in the tone of the voice acting. Definitely worthy of the final Northie.

Today's video was great. I wonder how Jeff was feeling knowing some of what they were saying was true.
i don't think it affected him as much since he's not at that level as was depicted, but it could have been a stark reminder of how it can go very very wrong.

They should have let you engage and get so pinned down that you felt like you had no other choice.
Jeff actually addressed this point directly with the lead writer of the game on a GameSpot spoilercast of the game back in July.
He said that at one point they did have the option to repel down to the fight the soldiers head on, but it had to be removed due to technical limitations.
Someone on /v/ just pointed this out: Alex's grin and Brad's laugh when Ryan doesn't mention Alex's name.

Ah, I see.
Not hard to believe beings on the PC version if you are far away from soldiers and trying to snipe, their models are very low res. Like Ps1 low res.

The technical limitations were mostly about the fact that it would split the game in two very different ways which means that most of the rest of the game would have to be donne twice (double the production time/cost and double the space on the disk).
Haha, Alex' stare at Ryan.
