okay this works
So I'm guessing it's still totally fucked? I was kind of interested in getting the collection since I've never played any Halo for longer than 10 minutes, but if the multiplayer is still in a totally shitty state, I think I'll hold off.

I don't have the game but apparently the game totally broke AGAIN a little while after the patch, matchmaking (when it works) still takes like 5 minutes to find games and teams are often totally unbalanced.
That really is a disaster

Anyone have a link/source for this Ryan picture on the set? Really dig it. Did a search just now but not finding it among the tons and tons of art people have done.
Anyone?
No it's the definitive Halo1-4 experience

I am not shocked MCC was a bit of a mess in hindsight.
Early rumours where Halo 2 A coming this year and the other games being released though the months following.
They clearly pushed those extra games out the door before they should and the over all quality bar dropped with the extra work load and shorter time in dev.
Would love to know why drive club was such a mess though. A bit more mystery with how that happened since it had the time in the oven and was pretty small in scope. Maybe all the good people left after the Motor storm apocalypse stuff though

In other news I'm trying to watch the latest UPF and boy... There is a huge piece missing here.
That Dan gambit though.

Shitting out your biggest franchises to get out before the holidays season is the cool thing to do these days for the big publishers. EA with Battlefield 4, Activision with COD Ghost, Ubisoft with Assassin's Creed Unity and Microsoft with Halo MCC. So much riding on these long running huge franchises, it seems so short sighted but it just keeps happening, more now than ever.

Yeah it's really dumb, these last few years have proved that you can have an extremely successful game no matter when it's released, I mean Q1 next year is going to be insane.

Im one of the lucky ones who has actually had my matchmaking improve. Took me 30 seconds to get into a match today. Dont know why it works in my end but others are struggling.

"I'm pretty much bulletproof. Throw anything at me, microbursts, tornados, blizzards, earthquakes, hurricanes."
And none of the rest of them bit.
What trashy kind of podcast do you think they run?! The nerve of you!
No they weren't, the rumours were either H2A on its own, or all of them together.
Halo 3 and Halo 4 needed little work done to them, so they were hardly pushed out the door.

Weird. Then I guess I've heard something similar from Jeff before?
Jeff said that every time there's an earthquake, he gets the urge to stand on his bed like he was surfboarding.

I cannot wait for this year's end-of-the-year deliberations. I want to hear how Dan plans to participate. Will he be aggressive ? Will he make concessions ? Who knows !
Jeff mentions it like right after this.

I figure they're exhausted by this point. He says "Mario Party 3 next week?" they just oblige.

They need to start an anime podcast for Dan the anime editor.

It was an okay game, but quite disappointing for a few reasons. The best way to put it would be that when Brotherhood was released, everyone was surprised by how meaty the single-player component was; with a ton of side content, neat features (Brotherhood systems, Da Vinci machines, Borgia Towers), a large city area to explore, new symbol puzzles, and a packed main storyline that swiftly continued Ezio's story and gave many minor characters from II more time in the spotlight. Revelations, on the other hand, was the kind of content-lite iterative release that everyone was expecting Brotherhood to be, with a noticeable reduction in side content (e.g. Only one side-mission for each faction), gimmicky features that didn't make it out of this one (that bad Tower Defense mini-game, the boring Desmond puzzle-platformer), and a plot that played it too safe. On that last point, essentially, they threw out the cast built up over two games and replaced them with characters that are hardly developed (and the villains are a noticeable downgrade from the Borgias). 16 was the biggest disappointment, as they really don't do that much with him in the main game, after three games of build-up.
But, like I said at the beginning, it's still an okay game. The bombs were fun to use (though admittedly quite broken), the setpieces to obtain the Masyaf keys were fun enough, the Altair sequences probably had a better story arc than the Ezio plot, Istanbul was a nice city to climb around in, and the character designs were pleasantly colorful and detailed,

So I'm watching Jeff's introduction to pogs.
I'm glad this fad was gone and dead by the time I was in school.

You missed out man. POGs were so awesome. I had all of the Simpsons pogs, both the cartoon and OJ.

I'm more of a marbles person tbh.
also would have loved to see more reactions like Dan's because i'm sure shit like that happened a lot LOLOLOL
From where is this gif?
Also, I was looking for one of their older videos where they watch a documentary-esque thing about... I think it was laserdisc? I couldn't find it and would like to watch it again. At first I thought it was the CD-I video but it wasn't and I'm not sure if it was a UPF or not.

While they were going through the games roster.
He was basically defending Cena saying the current shit isn't all his fault and he should go back to his roots (chain wielding, rapping, etc)
1. Because what little he has seen or maybe even played didn't impress him and continues not to?
2. Because there are other Nintendo series he might see as more worthy?
It always interesting see people get wound up because the guys don't like Nintendo as much as people think they should.
Same thing whenever Jeff shits on Yoshi or Majora lol
Ezio was such a fun character, too.
Look at this goddamn face!
Wait a minute
is Ezio just Vinny?
Mentions what? That he gets an urge to stand on his bed like a surfboard? True enough, but that's not the quote.
edit: If anyone's interested, this dude just uploaded a bunch of highlights from the Extra Life streams.

Been going back to see old video content and good god, it's probably because I'm using the big video player and those videos aren't in HD, but video quality circa 2009-2010 is kinda shit.
