Hey. Is GFWL ever going to shut down?

I just remembered I have this PC copy of Splinter Cell Conviction and maybe I should give that a go before that entire service dies?

I'm sorry, did Dan say SOAD was terrible? Cancelling my premium sub immediately.

They kinda are. I can't name a band that has aged worse for me.

You can't kill Evil and Conviction doesn't use GFWL

 

[Jeevesmeister]

System of a Down has always been terrible angsty noise for early-00s teens.

That whole bullshit genre of SOAD/Nickleback/Linkin Park/Hoobastank is all softball shit in preparation for the true genre of anger: heavy metal.

There will never be an album as majestic and perfect as God Hates Us All.

Shadow of Mordor is like half a game. They designed framework, systems and mechanics, but then forget to do anything else before hurriedly slapping something together in time for it to ship, most obviously the final boss.

But it's easy to look past its flaws when Shadow of Mordor is an actual, genuine Big Budget New IP. Something, something, goat.

Most of all, it works. That was a bar in 2014 most AAA high profile games did not clear.

Oh, right. That's a great point.

How easily the sins of the past are forgotten.

I mean that's like the third worst slayer album but I'll agree it's better than SOAD

 

[Teddified]

I remember watching quite a few DBZ/DBGT videos cut with music like Offspring back in the day.

I had a lot of free time....

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Oh, right. That's a great point.

How easily the sins of the past are forgotten.

Hardly, every time someone talks about Halo:MCC, the first question out of another's mouth is, "Is it working now?"

To which the answer is still sorta.

 

[popo]

thx ppl

I think I am going to go with COD. If nothing else the campaigns are usually dumb fun.

I want ot play Ground Zeros at some point but I don't really want to wait for a game and then mail it back the same day.

 

[stump sock]

I actually really enjoyed the CoD:AW campaign so it's not a bad pick

 

[Infinite Justice]

The UPF comment section proves that some people are just looking to get offended over nothing. Nickelback is the hill you choose to die on?

eh the songs were catchy at least.

They kinda are. I can't name a band that has aged worse for me.

they haven't done nothing since though

 

[TharpDaddy]

As someone who had a stint where I enjoyed All American Rejects... I can name a band that has aged worse.


Also, I look forward to a GBeast QL of the newest Naruto game

 

[Jintor]

Thanks to this dumb music talk I now have sound echoes of Breaking Benjamin echoing through my brain. (Maybe I still kinda like them, I dunno)

I might be the kind of person Jeff was talking about when he was like "People who like music but who are like "lol i dunno""

I mean, I definitely have stuff I like and don't like, but I couldn't possibly tell you why I like or don't like them...

 

[TharpDaddy]

Realized I never watched Load Our Last Souls in its entirety. Rewatching now and I will always laugh at Vinny getting kicked off the cliff.

 

[Incandenza]

I'm listening to the Bombcast with the Homefront discussion (08-07-12) while I clean and man, this is a classic episode. On top of that bit you have Jeff spilling energy drinks all over the studio and doing Brad impressions, Vinny being bad at reviewing games, discussions of Total Recall, and Jeff's fucked up bathroom / security deposit fraud story.

 

[BanGy.nz]

Killed Ebrietas then

Spoiler

revived the queen.

Video games are cool.

 

[TharpDaddy]

I am now realizing that the extent of my Load Our Last Souls viewing is actually only episode 1. I have a lot of unseen Vinny content to watch as a result.

Get ready for more Ian and Rorie bickering than you ever thought you could handle!

 

[TharpDaddy]

Get ready for more Ian and Rorie bickering than you ever thought you could handle!

I'm already seeing it in episode 2.

"It takes a special kind of arrow you probably don't have"
"Ehh he might have a couple"

I ship RoriexIan

Edit: They're arguing about equipment load. I like Vinny's reaction of just trying to interrupt them.

 

[Jothel]

I mean that's like the third worst slayer album but I'll agree it's better than SOAD

I can't say I even rank the albums after Reign in Blood. Slayer have been bad for longer than Metallica

Spoiler

who were arguably never good in the first place but hey

Yeah Vinny is able to diffuse a lot of it due to him being Vinny.

I have a weird soft spot for Divine Intervention and Seasons is okay, but yeah I kind of agree.

Hell Awaits just turned 30. now that's an album.

 

[TharpDaddy]

I haven't seen much of Dark Souls on console. The frame rate in this Nito fight is rough.

Update: Vinny is on tilt. He's walked off cliffs and died 4 times in the last few minutes.

 

[Jintor]

i always laugh whenever I think of the phrase "That's real fucking nito"

I got help for that fight.

 

[LiK]

LIZARD MAN!

 

[Rainmaker]

Just thinking about Benjamin Peezy on this rainy Sunday night.

 

[LiK]

lol, that Soulcalibur Bombastica was hilarious.

 

[Megasoum]

WHOOAAA... I just stumbled upon a historic moment by complete accident.

So I was looking for a random video to watch and ended up going with the 5/31/13 UPF where they end the show by playing the flash version of Leathal League for the very first time.

Then at some point...

Vinny: "That reminds of me of that Neo Geo game... Wind something something"
Jeff: "Windjammer! Yeah Windjammer"


gasp

That was such a bummer on the last Bombcast. Drew's "It's sort of working" made me sad.

 

[Jothel]

Hell Awaits just turned 30. now that's an album.

I can understand with Divine Intervention, I kinda like that album mostly because I watched the live video they put out around the same time a shit load when I was young.

 

[KingKong]

so Mario Party Party 4 this week right

 

[Antiwhippy]

They kinda are. I can't name a band that has aged worse for me.

The first two albums are still pretty good man.

So is steal this album.

 

[M3z_]

I can't believe anyone thinks highly enough of SOAD to think that they have earned some degree of societal respect...

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I like System of a Down...

 

[Antiwhippy]

System of a down and deftones to me are the only good things to come out of the nu-metal movement.

 

[Typographenia]

System of a down and deftones to me are the only good things to come out of the nu-metal movement.

Do we count Faith No More in the nu-metal movement? Because, if so, they are the only good thing that came out of the nu-metal movement.

 

[jgminto]

I like System of a Down...

I can still enjoy them from time to time but Serj's stuff after he went solo is way better.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Do we count Faith No More in the nu-metal movement? Because, if so, they are the only good thing that came out of the nu-metal movement.

No way is Faith no More nu-metal. Too diverse to be.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

System of a down and deftones to me are the only good things to come out of the nu-metal movement.

Deftones are great and Chino's band ††† (Crosses) is best.

Also, Persona 4 Endurance Run was definitely the best way for me to experience the game. I'm almost into the 40s for episodes. Really funny stuff so far. It makes me want more Vinny content! Good thing I still need to go through the videos for the souls games.

Is the Chrono Trigger ER worth a watch? I loved playing through that game back in the day but I don't think I have the patience or time for a jrpg.

 

[Jothel]

System of a down and deftones to me are the only good things to come out of the nu-metal movement.

You're certainly right about Deftones.

Do we count Faith No More in the nu-metal movement? Because, if so, they are the only good thing that came out of the nu-metal movement.

Nah they're too old and varied to be included, they're also great which excludes them too.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Chino Moreno, Serj Tankian and Mike Patton were like my heroes growing up.
