A lot of unsafe knife practices in that video.

The 7th Guest is awesome and it had FMV

I'm not saying that games like 7th Guest or Phantasmagoria are bad games, but the FMV aspect of them is not what made them good then, and only makes them look silly these today.

Releasing a game in 2015 that is trying to play FMV straight is comical. I'm glad they're doing it, of course, since I have no interest in pretend instrument games anyway.

i strongly disagree. The puzzles in the 7th Guest are esoteric and mostly fucking impossible without cheating. The FMV is why you play the game

Even though playing bass isn't easy, bass in Rocksmith has all of the arcade fun of a GH / RB game because it's easy enough to sight read bass tabs.

Oh fuck it, I'll probably still buy both of these new music games if the song lists are good.

yeah I've been playing guitar for over 20 years and I found Rocksmith's guitar stuff utterly baffling and hard to figure out, but the bass was more manageable and super fun

and then my cable died.

[Egg0]

Darn, that knife video showed me everything I already knew how to do. I was hoping Brad had ninja tricks to get the hard drive out of the PS4 casing with a knife.

 

[funkystudent]

So on a level of 1 to 5, how dismissive do you think the crew will be about the new Guitar Hero?

And do you actually think Jeff will put a score on the MKX review or will it be another Dance Central 3 situation and he wont want to lower the metacritic of his pals shitty game?

The FMV was never 'good', though. When you say the FMV is why you play the game, don't you mean that it's enjoyed ironically?

things Dan made it to adulthood without knowing how to use:

- folding knives

Jeff's talked about it a bit on the beginning of his Mixlr drive today and he seemed fairly positive about it.

Now? maybe.

At the time, the 7th guest scared the SHIT out of me.
The ghosts were terrifying. Stauf haunted my dreams.

The quality was never great, but there was nothing to compare it to.

Jeff's article was fairly positive.

Huh. Well I always thought FMV looked like trash, and the appeal of those games was the weird environments and puzzles (terrible design notwithstanding). Either way they've aged poorly, although I would make the argument that the FMV has aged better because it was always bad.

 

[mnz]

That knife handling is worse to look at than any fatality. God damn.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

...and then I ordered that same drive. I always love upgrading and swapping hardware.

 

[shadyspace]

This is by far the most patient Brad has ever been with Dan.

 

[funkystudent]

I want to upgrade my PS4 HDD but I am hesitant using a Seagate drive on something I would use that regularly.

A recopie for HDD failure.

 

[Fox318]

That upgrade video made me miss the old basement studio and the green screen.

They don't really have a table or panel to do a discussion like that.

I guess something other than the couch.

That's a good thing though, I'm 30 and I don't want anything to do with a folding knife.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

it helped that Dan was holding a knife at the time.

 

[Antiwhippy]

A folding knife is badass.

 

[DrFunk]

jesus what is it w/ giant bomb and knives

 

[stump sock]

That's a good thing though, I'm 30 and I don't want anything to do with a folding knife.

...why?

it's like the second most useful tool in my entire house except a philips screwdriver

what do you use when you need to cut something?

jesus what is it w/ giant bomb and knives

knives are fuckin rad, what kind of question is this

we'd break the post limit making that list

 

[mnz]

Knives are useful, knife lovers are creepy.

 

[stump sock]

Knives are useful, knife lovers are creepy.

I've only got two (non-kitchen) knives, one is a simple folder and the other is a leatherman

I'm just baffled that it's not just something that everybody owns?

 

[Glitchesarecool]

I actually didn't ever learn about folding knives until I took my dive classes.

 

[strafer]

I wonder if Jeff has seen Gabe's knife collection.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I wonder if Jeff has seen Gabe's knife collection.

Yes, they've talked about it multiple times explicitly and it has been a running joke in the office for years.

 

[avengers23]

Brad seemed very fatherly in this knife video. This should be taken into account during the next round of "Which Duder would I want as my dad" discussions.

 

[super-famicom]

A lot of unsafe knife practices in that video.

Surprised that Dan didn't draw blood in the video.

 

[stump sock]

then again there were a bunch of people in that one new 3ds thread complaining that they didn't own even a single screwdriver which I also found confusing

what kind of person doesn't have a single tool in their entire house?

 

[SteveWinwood]

I had no room for tools after I filled my house with amiibos.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Ok, I can maybe understand not owning a knife but no screwdriver is crazy.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Surprised, High Voltage has done another turd of a job with their PC ports and those with MKX are currently unable to access gameplay modes and even online play. We can't even rip the netcode on that platform because no one has access to it.

these guys, they fucked up the MK9 and Injustice ports too. Why, WB, why?

 

[Myggen]

[Fjolle]

I could have used that video last week. I destroyed that enclosure trying to open it..

 

[super-famicom]

I'm just baffled that it's not just something that everybody owns?

I don't have a folding knife, and everytime I get a package from Amazon I use a kitchen knife to open it. I really should get a folding knife instead.

then again there were a bunch of people in that one new 3ds thread complaining that they didn't own even a single screwdriver which I also found confusing

what kind of person doesn't have a single tool in their entire house?

I have toolkits in my house, with a variety of screwdrivers. Whenever I've moved into a new place, if I don't have a toolkit with me, it's usually one of the first things I purchase. Just one of those things that are handy to have.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

...why?

what do you use when you need to cut something?

Scissors or a Stanley knife (retractable blade).

A flip knife is the kind of knife that gets you five years in jail here, even if it's a tool.

 

[Antiwhippy]

A retractable stanley knives are the knives of choice for delinquents

Are you a delinquent giant_frying_pan?.

 

[Myggen]

The only knife I've ever owned is a kitchen knife.

 

[Vic Tokai]

Literally the only thing I can think of that I need a knife for (outside of the kitchen) is opening packages, and a kitchen knife or a pair of scissors will do that just fine.

I really can't think of another use I ever have for one. But then, I'm a not at all handy dude who rents his abode, so I'm very much in the call-somebody-else-whenever-something-breaks-in-my-home-or-car camp.

Shrug.

even one of these? because like, this is one of the best objects I own

I've injured myself with kitchen knives and scissors. never once with a pocketknife.

I dunno, maybe I'm the weirdo here for doing work around the house or repairing electronics or whatever. shit breaks? I'll fix it.

No comment.

[EDIT - Yeah that kind of tool isn't wise to possess unless you have a very good reason. The police have knife amnesties every now and then and the photos they show of their 'haul' include knives like that.

Don't get me wrong, I am pro-badass tool, but not a huge fan of knives that are pretty much meant to be concealed and used as a weapon (yeah, I know the Stanley knife has this reputation, I only really need it to cut carpet or something).]

That looks like something from a terrible Terminator movie.

it's called a SKELETOOL, how sweet is that?

 

[BearPawB]

Is stanley-knife a Britishism? Or are there places in america that call them that.

Everyone just says "box cutters".


And i've never seen value in "all in one" tools. I'd rather have quality versions of the tools individually

 

[Antiwhippy]

I use my folding knife to cut leather and packaging mock ups.

Fun stuff.

 

[Myggen]

I use my 10 year old kitchen knife to cut fools.
