I miss Mandatory Update so, so, soooo much. While it was hit and miss at times, I still loved every bit of it. It had some really fantastic moments. It pains me that it's never coming back.

Q&A was great, some hilarious questions/answers.
And Hasney with that Fiasconauts question, would love for a fan to create the playset. They don't even have to play it - as they said they probably wouldn't. But the idea itself is funny enough.
Also... not done just yet with Xenoblade (currently Part 12), but I will probably tune in live tonight for the first time (and last time, I take it from comments here?!). Wooha. =)

Possibly sarcasm, but something like that could work for the conferences if they set it up right.
Have the conference full screen, the guys in front of a green screen. Overlay it, but have the guys sitting in the corners of the screen to obscure the least amount of area. Or something like Mystery Science Theater style.
LOL, I could go for that.

Anyone here playing Tekken 7? If so, who are you maining?
When they showed off Eliza I figured I'd probably end up going with her unless she was too complex, finally played her and she's basically a Street Fighter character lol. Perfect
(I have no idea how to play Tekken but I'm digging it)
The story mode is horrible though, good lord. I was all for the dumb story nonsense at first but it really isn't good. Annoying difficulty spikes too

I'm playing Lee, at the moment. It was who I became fondest of during Tekken Tag 2. His recovery time is almost unmatched, which means I can risk moves far more often that give me Advantage (note: noun). He also has some great telegraphing which makes it difficult to identify launchers (especially the height of said launchers too).
If you're learning how to play and mainly playing Beginners, I highly recommend watching a guide to movement. It's a pillar of Tekken combat and in my opinion, the most important. Having an understanding of spacing and certain techniques will give you the advantage (note: lowercase) against the majority of players you will first encounter. It will allow you to confidently punish risky attacks and set you up for combos in to wall attacks.
Honestly, just learning movement (you'll never master it) will increase your Tekken skills considerably.
Edit: I'm not saying become a master at movement, just understand why it's important.

Holy crap, I should have listened to the advice and started watching these guys a long time ago. This is EXACTLY what I'm looking for in a gaming channel.
Huber might be my favorite person in the world right now.

Welcome! Good timing with E3 just around the corner. And yes, Huber is fantastic.
Oh man, I need to think about these. Only the Nintendo ones even seem feasible to me.
When was the last time a Sony press conference didn't start on time?

Yeah it's clear the biggest barrier for me is movement.
Thanks for the video, I'll check it out

2014 maybe?
Yup. Taking the time this week & rewatching last year's reactions & impressions.
Also, Cold Blooded vs. Ultima Brad! Can't wait! #NewEra
Shameless shilling for the allies DOES pay off after all!
Welcome!
These days are dreadful, everything is in this weird waiting stage and I just want it to start already.

omg Ian putting hubers hand down is an all time classic.
9 on "ahoy" being said in the Sea of Thieves demo, and 1 on the Jack Tretton cameo.

What gets me is Tingle appearing and President & CEO of SIEA playing Knack 2 are same tier.

I just noticed Ben's PSN avatar is Futaba in Ben's Dojo. Further Persona Proof!
I knew he chose the best woman. I knew it.
It's also my current PSN avatar btw. lol

Catching up on Ben's dojo, gonna try to join in next Friday for some high level Tekken
I thought he was a Makoto man though.
They are his two favourite characters, but he definitely like Futaba more.
I loved Mandatory Update Nights.
Man, I like Ian, but Easy Update is just not my thing at all. Every once in awhile there will be an episode that interests me and I enjoy, but overall it's just not for me.

Post Elyse MUN is GOAT stuff. Ian was not giving a fuck. You could clearly see from his attitude from those days (and even on podcast where he flat out said it) that GT days were numbered.
That version of Mandatory Update was a 9.9786/10 with a Windows 95 vibe.

It was total swamp, but not like a bad one.

I agree with you on Easy Update. I love that Ian gets to do it, but most of the time it's really not for me. I prefer scripted and produced shows over improvised ones like that. I also don't like to watch other people playing games. It still got us great moments, like the Halloween episode or the Bound episode, which I'm glad for.
Mandatory Update Nights was great, but not a good replacement for Mandatory Update itself. It's a completely different format. That's not necessarily worse, but felt more like another podcast, which is, again, not bad at all. But I really liked the SNL-like fake news show with a focus on gaming news and its own skits and segments. It also got us so many fantastic moments. Ian and Elyse did a really good job, all things considered. Reminiscing about it now makes me want to binge all episodes again.
It makes me really sad that we'll never get another show like it ever again.
