Splatoon has gear and rare materials you can use to upgrade your gear.

Spoiler

No raids though

You're 2nd on my list Steve. This isn't over

 

[Myggen]

It can certainly be one of those overquoted kinda movies. Or douchebags talking about how awesome it is and how they wish it was real and shit like that.

There was a lot of that when it first came out, for sure. A bit like how people reacted to Fight Club.

And I wish I was playing the Splatoon demo, but am not near my consoles the next two or so weeks. Game looks rad as hell, but the news about Nintendo pretty much releasing that game with an unfinished feature set and only 5 maps has me worried for the multiplayer.

 

[Mully]

Jeff looks like a Greg Kinnear fan.

Boondock Saints is a terrible movie. Holy shit I know so many people who love that movie, and I've rarely hated something as much as I hated that movie when I first saw it.

Now I'll go to bed angry because I was reminded of Boondock Saints.

I use Boondock Saints as a barometer of whether a person is a fake Irish, in college, or really intelligent. The fake Irish or college person will say the film is great, just like people from the North say country is their favorite music.

YOU'RE ALL LIARS.

Maybe I have low expectations from Nintendo but I liked all the stuff from the Direct they showed. I'm can't wait to play it. It's super lame that this test is for one hour.

That's five times as many maps as Dota 2.

Like MacGruber if it was any good

Can't argue with that. In other words, Dota 2 sucks. It's settled. MOBAs are over forever, Steve, Breezy, Kessler and Brad are going to start a CS: GO clan instead.

Southern gentlemen should steer clear of clans.

Does Vinny ever create a maneuver node in the Kerbal QL? That's the big key difference between messing around and actually progressing.

As someone who has generally just ignored coverage on the game until I decided to watch the direct on a whim and I really, really liked what I saw. The lack of maps is a really big turnoff though, guess I'll play around for an hour or two of the demo and see how I like the gameplay/map design available. I'm all for free updates post-release but, from my understanding, the package they're shipping seems a little thin and that's not a habit I want Nintendo to get into.

 

[Risette]

oh god i'm just now watching mario party party 4

the nacho cheese thing

disgusting

I'm all for free updates, but this just seems like releasing the game with less stuff in it than planned, so they're gonna put the rest in as free "DLC". That's not a plus in my book. But the base game looks really fantastic.

I need to watch the rest of this Kerbal QL before I go to bed. Really enjoying it.

oh god i'm just now watching mario party party 4

You mean BLLSL? Or was there nacho cheese in MPP4 too?!

Oh, haha. The Oreo thing. You should watch the Big Live Live Show Live archive if you haven't already.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

so was UPF good

 

[shadyspace]

Why does your boyfriend hate Giant Bomb, Myggen? This is a safe space.

 

[SlowRevolution]

just the first part

 

[Risette]

they dipped oreos in nacho cheese

 

[OdysseusVA]

"Can you imagine what that smells like?"

Like nacho cheese, Jason. Like nacho cheese.

 

[Myggen]

Why does your boyfriend hate Giant Bomb, Myggen? This is a safe space.

He's neutral to it. Which is hate in my book!

they dipped oreos in nacho cheese

You should check out BLLSL if you haven't already.

More where that comes from

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Yeah, you should watch the BLLSL.

I vomited that night.

 

[tuxfool]

Yes. I think it is a very good quicklook of a complicated game.

 

[robotrock]

Vinny telling Igarashi that he was being a baby was my favorite Giant Bomb moment of today

Nah we're gonna start a Destiny clan! Loot and shooting forever!

Better or worse: people who want things to be like fight club or people who want to be Patrick Bateman.

Does anyone know where Alex grew up? He's a Pats fan but didn't he know Jeff when he was like 14?

 

[danm999]

I could have sworn at one point he said he grew up in California, at least in part, yeah.

 

[Myggen]

Yeah, NorCal. That's where his parents live now, so I'm sure he's lived there most of his life. Since he's a Pats fan I've always assumed that he spent his first years there. I can't really hear American dialects that aren't very distinct (like Vinny, I can hear he's from New York), so I have no idea if Alex has a California dialect or anything.

There seems to be a really big overlap. Basically Rand Paul's college voter demographic.

Good shit.

VinnyVania is so good. "Are you kidding me? That sounds like something I'd say to Brad" had me spit take.

90% of the country doesn't have a distinct accent or dialect. you've got your handful of super recognizable ones and the rest are stuff like "vaguely southern" or "mildly midwestern" and those only manage to narrow it down to a geographic area the size of four european countries.

 

[Tan]

the first splatoon testphase is starting in two hours, any gb-gaffers playing?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Fs54BU-NIY

I'll be playing for sure.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Exactly.

Opposite spectrums of 90's subversive villians.

 

[Beelzeboss]

I would like to petition the thread to change Alex's nationality in the OP from Spanish to Kerbal.

 

[Ketch]

you know what needs to be in the OP is that link that lets you watch the last stream before it's been posted for real.

what's that link again?

edit: and now it's up anyway. thanks drew/jason you're the best/worst (you choose)

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Hey, Vinny and I have the same birthday! We also share it with John Wilkes Booth.

Yeah, it's probably because the US is so damn big and diverse. Here in Norway pretty much every part of the country has a very distinct dialect, and you can tell which city a person is from from hearing him say one sentence.

VinnyVania is so good. "Are you kidding me? That sounds like something I'd say to Brad" had me spit take.

Yeah, gave me flashbacks to Vinny bullshitting Brad in the Demon's Souls series.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Anyone know if the audio issues in VinnyVania were fixed for the archive?

VinnyVania is so good. "Are you kidding me? That sounds like something I'd say to Brad" had me spit take.

That was great. Doubly so because it was true.

Could the pats Fandom be related to working at harmonix (did he move to Cambridge/Boston for that?).

New thread, new mail bag and a new UPF. This is a good day to be a fan of the content found on giant bomb dot com.

So close yet so far BreezyLimbo, one day you'll be a cool person who likes cool things like SteveWinwood.

Yeah it was the Samantha Danswers episode.

 

[neshcom]

Really enjoyed the mailbag package that was literally a dude just sending in his old junk his girlfriend wouldn't let him keep. And his DJ Hero 2 stuff.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I could actually totally use a DJ hero PS3 wireless dongle.

Dude should have just sent it to me.
