Minor spoilers for MGS2 and MGS in general about 1:13-1:15 into the podcast. They give enough warning so it shouldn't be a problem, but just a heads up for people following MGScanlon for the first time.

 

[Twin Tails]

Oh shit Jeff bwad new destiny raid talks.

 

[mnz]

So after that Idle Thumbs episode featuring Patrick, can we assume that

Spoiler

Alien: Isolation and Donkey Kong got snubbed?

in the GotYs?

That would be very unsurprising. But I didn't get that from the podcast, might just have missed it.

Haven't listened to that podcast but neither of those would surprise me in the slightest.

Don't think you'd have to listen to Idle Thumbs to expect that.

Really? Is "OMGZD Jeff owns a gun" the new "OMGZD Vinny smokes?"

 

[OdysseusVA]

Vinny smokes?!

 

[Myggen]

Really? Is "OMGZD Jeff owns a gun" the new "OMGZD Vinny smokes?"

Only if you count one person asking the question and others answering as "OMGZD".

New Year's Eve Mario Party Marathon: Make it happen, Dan!

Spoiler

Not really, but how funny/sad would that be?

That would be very sad.

 

[derFeef]

Really? Is "OMGZD Jeff owns a gun" the new "OMGZD Vinny smokes?"

Nono it's "Vinny is too nice to smoke" or something like this.
I should know, I created it, haha.

 

[TraBuch]

Kinda weird that there was no mention of the $500K purse next year during that entire Capcom Cup discussion. Especially when talking about the eSports stuff.

 

[xanavi]

oh..

It's okay. We barely even acknowledge Jason in the OP.

 

[ratcliffja]

I'm one of those naysayers and I agree. He was a great addition. Also I've never heard him on an audio podcast before and he has a very pleasant podcasting voice.

Let's see how he fairs with a non-water themed book first.

 

[Typographenia]

That would be very sad.

Starting 2015 with a bang!


Man, I feel for Drew. He's struggling so hard to keep track of all this MGS nonsense.
I can't imagine I understood much of this back in the day, but I feel I grasp it better now. Dan's 40% calling is probably right. That final stretch is going to give us so many great gifs of Drew reactions, hahaha

That last stretch is probably the most insane info dump I've ever experienced in any type of media.

As someone who played through MGS2 for the first time last month, these breakdown talks at the end of each Scanlon episode are a godsend for the stuff I had forgotten about/missed in the relentless info dumps.

That last stretch is probably the most insane info dump I've ever experienced in any type of media.

Yeahhh. Can't wait. I had no prior knowledge of it going in (never followed MGS that closely) so I was just reeling.

 

[DanRyckert]

Dan how many members of Giant Bomb own guns?

I have not asked the others, but I can confirm that I've never owned a gun nor do I have any desire to.

 

[funkystudent]

The debriefing after the ending of MGS2 should be its own hour long episode of Dan and Drew in front of a whiteboard with Drew trying to work out the plot of the game.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I have not asked the others, but I can confirm that I've never owned a gun nor do I have any desire to.

Not even one to spin around like a cool guy?

 

[Archaix]

Not even one to spin around like a cool guy?

Dan bought toy revolvers and carried them around school to be more like Revolver Ocelot.


WHY DO I KNOW THIS MUCH ABOUT A STRANGER I NEED TO GO EVALUATE MY LIFE

 

[ratcliffja]

Not even one to spin around like a cool guy?

Dan's been playing us all. He secretly works for Solidus Bomb aka GameSpot.

Recently started playing Tomodachi Life, and got this gem via Quirky Questions:

Spoiler

Guy in the parka is Drew, and Dan, coincidentally, is asking the question.

 

[DanRyckert]

Dan bought toy revolvers and carried them around school to be more like Revolver Ocelot.

No no, let's get this right. I bought them when I was a sophomore or junior in COLLEGE and sat in my dorm room and twirled the toy revolvers. I was cool.

Vinny smokes?!

This needs confirmation. I've been listening/watching for years and never picked up on Vinny smoking.

 

[kingocfs]

"Trending Gamer of Our Hearts Award"

lol

Which one of you sent that?

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

edit: MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAILBAG!

That mailbag was fantastic !

 

[SteveWinwood]

i had completely forgotten about it

it was like years and years ago on the first big live show or something

 

[Dany]

Does he still smoke?

 

[SteveWinwood]

Does he still smoke?

with kids id hope not

 

[giant_frying_pan]

I can take Jeff's anti-Yoshi stance. I can tolerate his aversion to inverting controls. I can even forgive his shafting of Best Game of Last Generation, Red Dead Redemption, at every turn.

But to slag off Indian Pale Ale and hops?!? You've gone TOO FAR, MonsterDunk!

 

[Xater]

Really glad I got the Chromecast. It's awesome to just use the GB video buddy to put their videos on my TV.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I don't dislike cats, I just don't get why so many people on Twitter post about their fucking cats all the time. It is *never* interesting. They're cats...chill out.

Dan you should got on dat raid man

 

[LeBart]

with kids id hope not

He can always smoke outside the house.

 

[SteveWinwood]

jimmy you stopped with the titles for a while

[Egg0]

It's not Jeff's gun. He's just holding on to it for Dr. Tracksuit.

 

[Dazzler]

Hey Dan, when you go to Ireland, there's legit a leprechaun museum in the city centre in Dublin

Get Danny to bring you, he'll LOVE that

Finally, something Jeff and I can agree on.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I really need to watch the substitute.
