Had to get my cat put down this morning, having recent QLs to catch up on is paying off as a great distraction. Tried Ground Zeroes last night, i'm completely terrible at stealth but the game is pretty awesome. I'm really looking forward to Phantom Pain. I hope Dan and Drew finish the series by the time it releases so we can get videos about them discussing their progress and the like, as Brad and Vinny did for Dark Souls 2 for a while.

The comments for that new Mordor DLC quick look are going to be filled with people yelling at Brad for not pressing "X" on the rune selection screen at the beginning. Because the "!" next to the icon means he did, in fact, have runes to choose from - they just weren't equipped.

Sorry to hear that :/

Ground Zeroes plays miles better than any other MGS game.

"Fuuuuuck you!"

- Dan Ryckert killing anything

 

[FStop7]

"Evil Otto's a real mother fucker."

Truer words were never spoken.

I'd give it a shot but I don't want the previous games spoiled. I've only played the first 2 games.

 

[LyleLanley]

Got a good laugh out of Rorie talking about 40 proof whiskey.

 

[super-famicom]

Here's the worst trailer ever.

Enjoy.

I closed the tab after 10 seconds. That was super terrible.

 

[Wensih]

Any idea when the end of the years casts are published? Im doing a 12 hour drive tomorrow.

Im so sorry. Losing a pet is fucking horrible.

It also said "Runes available!" five or six times on the screen.

Brads reactions to the comments are going to be this

 

[rudds]

Do people really get that excited about outsmarting us or something? There's such a hubbub every time people get to go THE TEXT IS ON THE SCREEN!!!! or whatever, even when they're mistaken. I thought it was pretty obvious I was talking about the runes you had equipped on your character in your main playthrough not being there, not runes period, but maybe I wasn't clear enough.

 

[shadyspace]

What is with the AI in this Mordor QL? Does it suck that much in the main game? They're like mannequins.

 

[Haunted]

Metal Gear Solid 3 is my least favourite of the series, but that's probably because I didn't get past the very beginning.

Well, that's because it was so bad that you didn't want to continue. Makes sense to me. If it's any consolation, 3 was my least favourite as well until 4 came out.

 

[Haunted]

That's a rhetorical question, right? You've been in the video-making business for long enough to know the answer to that.

It's all they live for.

 

[sproutella]

Lol bard you'll never win

 

[shadyspace]

Holy christ Bread's Middle Earth knowledge is on lock and Dan is a published author who doesn't know what metafiction is.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I need to watch The Hobbit. I need to know why everyone hates it.

No point in getting agitated over YT comments, Brad.

Since you're already here, can you tell us who's gonna be on next week's Bombcast? Is it gonna be you, Jeff, Dan and Drew?

I thought they said the last one was the last regular Bombcast if the year. I think the GotY casts are it next week.

 

[daydream]

I thought they said the last one was the last regular Bombcast if the year. I think the GotY casts are it next week.

Just want to be prepared for the right people since we're also doing the GOTY thread next week and I don't want Ren to do more work than necessary.

I expect Dan to be on since he's not leaving till Tuesday morning but I don't know if Drew is already out by that point, still working on GOTY stuff, etc. Doesn't hurt to ask.

 

[Incandenza]

I think this scene embodies everything dumb about The Hobbit.

E-mail podcast with everyone minus Brad.

I'd love to see what the camera actually shot for the part from 2:45

 

[Wensih]

From the 26th till the 30th.

Well shucks.

 

[RE_Player]

Kind of related too Giant Bomb but is Patrick's Lost Rewatch podcast dead?

Trickys been busy setting up his new office space.

Spoiler

Yes

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Oh right, I totally forgot they were doing that.

I would say GotY stuff got in the way but...it's been since September since the last one?

 

[ratcliffja]

Great scene. Great movies. People confuse me.

 

[tryagainlater]

Great scene. Great movies. People confuse me.

I agree. Then again, I love dumb over the top stuff and I think it suits the tone of the book which is more geared towards young children than the Lord of the Rings books.

 

[Loxley]

I need to watch The Hobbit. I need to know why everyone hates it.

Here's a run-down of the main reasons why people have disliked The Hobbit films:

- Peter Jackson didn't make the fun children's book they know and love, and instead made an epic Lord of the Rings prequel trilogy that covers the events of the Hobbit.
- People hate CGI and the Hobbit films use a lot of it, and it looks unfinished in a number of scenes across all three films.
- The book was split into three films which is seen as a "blatant cashgrab".
- People don't like Jackson's additions/alterations story (such as turning certain scenes from the book into action sequences when they originally weren't).

It should be said that there are plenty of people who do like The Hobbit films. I mean, these movies have each made around a billion dollars for a reason - people enjoy them.

 

[Backfoggen]

Drew is going to witness nuts-ass MGS 2 today.

It's a difficult task to mesh the tone of the Hobbit book with that of the LotR movies, but I think Jackson did a great job of it.

 

[LegoArmo]

Patrick said he still wants to do the podcast with Max on one of the recent Bombin' episodes, I think. Might have been in one of the solo Q&As.

 

[Dany]

I fucking lost it when Greg was talking shit about his music teacher haha.

 

[HappenstanceUK]

I would totally listen to a "History of Middle-Earth" podcast from Brad

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Greg's high school experience sounds interesting. An Outside school where classes were in different buildings. huh

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

me too

I had a teacher like that, "I know" what Greg had to go though

 

[Alucrid]

stop making me think greg kasavin made an appearance on gb

 

[Falifax]

He did

 

[SlowRevolution]

not having alexa sit in on that shadow of mordor dlc was a missed opportunity

 

[Xeteh]

Moving from Canada to California when I was still in school was weird because that is how most schools are around here.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

He did

Not to mention Building The Bastion and the Skyrim marathon. Although I guess Alucrid means a recent appearance!
