On the topic of Metal Gear Scanlon, I've got news you'll like and news you might not like (but isn't a big deal):

The News You Might Not Like: We won't be doing a live finale. It's not going to make sense with our schedules and GOTY stuff.

The Good News!: Since there was no one in the office today on account of the storm, Drew and I decided to come in by ourselves and record several episodes. You will certainly see more Metal Gear Scanlon by the end of 2014.

Starting...tonight!


You are a national treasure.

Also I don't think the finale needs to be live. Its perfectly fine recorded

Thanks a lot, Dan. It's a bummer that the finale won't be live though; seeing Drew witness the mindfuckness that it is would have been glorious.

edit: looks like we are getting the Harrier ! :D

re-up man!

For the past few months I have struggled to make time to even watch the regular video content - so I went through the sale humming and hawing should I re-up or not, and decided not to.

I have probably 12 hours of Premium Video downloaded that I have not looked at, so that will last me ages at this rate I am going. Add that in with the stupid amount of stuff coming near the end of the month, and I think I will be fine without Prem for a while.

OH GOD ADS

Jeff and Dan's talk during The Crew quick look about the fetishistic recreation of real life locations in video games reminded me of all the little details Obsidian put into recreating all the little podunk towns that no one will ever care about in Fallout New Vegas.

Oh wow. I thought they just created those smaller towns themselves. This is fascinating.

I like how disaster makes for a more productive site schedule.

And by "productive", I mean more MGS.

Still without luck
Remember when you guys (Jimmy) said there wouldn't be any MGScanlon for the rest of the year? I'm so glad you all (mostly Jimmy) were wrong.

Should've made an avatar bet. But yeah, more MGS is great especially since we're likely not getting mcuh other video content during the next two weeks before GOTY.
 
From Jeffs Tumblr-
Have you ever felt like going back and re-reviewing a game? for example, Driveclub is a totally different game to the one that shipped. Online works, photo mode and dynamic weather are in. Any chance of returning to the game and give it another chance?

Jeff-Online worked when I reviewed it, too.

Goddamn people are just salty over the score. Let it goooo

Well that's before the boss fight I think.


I know he's going to die horribly multiple times lol
 
For some reason I ended up reading a bunch of leaked emails from the Sony hack and it sounds like those people have really strong opinions about the possibility of Angelina Jolie joining Giant Bomb:
I'm not destroying my career over a minimally talented spoiled brat who thought nothing of shoving this off her plate for eighteen months so she could go direct a movie. I have no desire to be making a movie with her, or anybody, that she runs and that we don't. She's a camp event and a celebrity and that's all and the last thing anybody needs is to make a giant bomb with her that any fool could see coming.

If Jimmy lost he would've just changed back to his normal avatar in a couple of day.

I thought "Stop impersonating him" meant stop impersonating
Big Boss, as in stop trying to be like Big Boss and chase the dream of Outer Heaven.

Man, that is some bullshit that the game makes you backtrack for the sniper rifle even if you shoot all the bombs.

Edit: Nevermind. I forgot about that one.

LOL at that Rose conversation at the end. She is fucking unbearable.

The Raiden and Rose stuff in MGS2 is up there with the worst video game relationships ever, and that's saying something. MGS2 is saved by the batshit crazy plot for me, the character moments are largely terrible and the worst in the series by a fucking mile.

It's so good because they're so bad. Kojima knew exactly what he was doing.

Great episode. After weeks away from the game, and Drew gives his finest performance yet. Story-wise, it's gonna be nothing but gold all the way to the end.
