I played MGS2 (albeit years ago) and I can't tell if Dan has spoiled anything. From the last episode the only thing I can recall was emphasizing to Drew about paying attention to Campbell's dialogues, which may have been a bit on the nose, but I don't get the impression that Drew insinuated anything about it beyond that.

I mean realistically if she saw someone in a hockey mask she'd probably try to have sex with him

When did this happen?

We need more Metal Gear Scanlon.
My buddy actively dislikes LotR based off the first half of the first movie (that's all he watched) and loved it.

I have no clue about that stuff and I love SoM.
Yes, it has little to do with the book.

Yes, and I believe the devs are conveying that through the lack of "Lord of the Rings" in the game's title.
I feel we'll get a MGScanlon will come tomorrow.
On the talk about UPF needing a revamp or a replacement, I fully agree. I feel there needs to be a new show that rejuvenates the traditional weekly premium content timeslot since a lot of the recent shows in the past months have become rather drab or dry in both humour, which comes across in the games the hosts choose sometimes or their energy on the show. Although Dan has given the show a good 'kick up' with some of his game choices, along with regular appearances form the GS crew, I don't think it's enough to sustain UPF in the long term.

I decided to finally watch that trilogy specifically because of the game and that was a waste of 9 hours. Just play the game.
I thought the UPF last Friday really good. Good choices and good energy all around (your enjoyment of IDARB might vary of course, but I liked it even if Twitter got a bit too terrible at times).
Oh yeh I agree with Wolfienstein and IDARB. But on a general week, it usually isn't up to last week's quality.

I always like it when they all play together. I like watching them all play the wacky/irreverent games such as IDARB, Gang Beasts, Mount your friends as much as I do watching them play games such as Fibbage, Drawful (especially Drawful), etc. These always seem to generate the most laughs/happy times. I also like when they take time to browse Live From PlayStation, especially when they catch up with Cigs66. While the solo games are typically unique and varied, sometimes the person playing it is way into it, while the others seem to want the segment to end as possible (i.e. Dan's Wario Date thing). I do think they should try to shorten each segment to allow for more variation. Maybe bring 2 games per person instead of one?

Heading home for Christmas, bringing my PS4. I don't think I can get myself to buy the whole Jackbox Pack, but, Fibbage for $7 seems like a deal. I wouldn't play the 2015 Jack game and Drawful isn't going to get me to pay the other $18.
Anyone give them a shot after seeing the QL or UPF?

I bought the whole pack. Played it with friends a couple of times, and everyone really liked it. Planning on brining it home for Christmas (with my PS4) to play some rounds with my family. It's a good time!

Well to be fair, Drew was driving like a damn schmuck that's never been behind the wheel of anything bigger than a Prius.
It's probably for the best that way. Last time I checked, the books and movies were all lacking on the fantasy ghost batman angle.
I would get the bundle. It's future proof plus Fibbage XL has more questions which is really important for a game like that.

Has a lot of references to the Middle Earth universe outside LotR. Nothing that spoils the fun, thought.

Was there any indication when we might get the next MGScanlon?

so I finally followed up on Jeff's recommendation (of sorts) to create a JP PSN account on my PS4. Thought, oh sweet, let's see what's exclusive in the store!
... some mahjong games, like 5 musou games, a new Oneechanbara game that I'm weirdly tempted to buy.. and not much else?
Lame.

No, but he next episodes have already been recorded. I'm betting it'l go up in under 8 hours, but we'll see.

I'm afraid you've lost me
edit: I did find that dumb free idol game Jeff played and apparently you can get all the trophies in half an hour so what the hell

talking about sweet arcade ports by hamster, bro
crazy climber, city connection, rygar, solomon's key - i'd buy them all
Even lamer: I got confused for a moment and went to look up the Oneechanbara quick look, confusing it with Kenka Bancho. Luckily I realized my mistake and now I'm watching the right one.

ha! not really my cup of tea, but if it was, it probably wouldn't be my tag, would it? let's not forget Yaoi's sister, Yuri.
ah. they're like $8 a pop though and that's not including the markup on JP PSN cards.
it'd probably be worth getting Crazy Climber for laughs though
edit: ok so this Dream C Club game... you have to "play" the song 14 times (one for each girl) to get all the trophies. bizarrely they decided to record 14 different vocal tracks? I don't know why it exists. you don't even control anything!
yeah, I mean, I'd gladly shell out 8 bucks for proper emulation, say, by M2 who go the extra mile on a lot of stuff (and their amazing work on 3DS is even cheaper than that). seems a bit much for a straightforward port
also, Crazy Climber 2 might be out by now (pretty sure it had a December release date) so keep that in mind, I guess
the first one might be better for comedic value, though

Bara sounds more up my alley
afaik the only difference is marketing, specifically bara is aimed at male readers, yaoi at females. not really sure what is actually different between the two as the content - in theory - is similar.
goddammit I only have myself to blame
Any indication of what happened to the last couple iterations of this? Too much work to keep running?
It apparently costs $20 a month to keep a channel like that running, according to the guy who runs the newest version, so might have something to do with it. Someone on Reddit offered to pay him $240 to keep it running for a year, so I'm sure this will be up for longer.

Some people take it issue or that some is directed to different demographics. In the case of the other genre, yuri, some fans insist to make differences between stuff aimed to teenagers, adult female readers or moe otaku fans even when is clear at times that the three collide most often than not.
Yeah, they haven't even said that there's an open position, just announced it on LinkedIn.
I have now done some research and confirmed this to be true.
Antiwhippy
the holder of the trombone
Bara is specifically buff dudes. Beefcakes. Sometimes beyond beefcake and into roid territory. An occasional bear.
Yaoi is for the pretty boys. Twinks. Fairies. Visual Kei wannabes.
