I agree and to put a finer point on it I think it is a mixture of campy FMV with the whole British comedy thing of funny/ridiculous things happening but everyone plays it 100% straight. I saw it described as 'earnest FMV' and I think that encapsulates it perfectly.

Jeff's an amazing piece of humanity.
Imagine what he'd do to you if he were holding a State of Emergency police baton.

In terms of things Giant Bomb get really into and I don't understand the appeal, I never got what that game where they were hanging out on a ship and they kept saying fuck Boyle was about. When they were desperate to get Boyle on to the best new character of the year category. Game seemed boring as hell. Someone explain that one. I'm not being a smartass, I actually am curious to understand it.
The appeal was that all the characters were controlled by real people (all GB in the QL) and you typed in the dialogue which was then awkwardly voiced by the characters.

Velvet Sundown is similar to Avalon in that you know everyone has motives and is probably lying their ass off, but maybe is being genuine? And it is being presented in this horrific and beautiful mess of 'fake' 90's VR chatroom, text-to-speech, and broken mechanics, in a game that is barely keeping it all together. It is a good recipe for comedy.

reading between the lines, it's pretty clear that they're flying out the full cast of contradiction

And of the similarities between Screaming Mantis/Psycho Mantis and Solidus/Laughing Octopus.
He keeps bits and pieces, not the nuances.

they did a QL (as you know) and that's pretty much it. I don't think even Dan has really played it given he never seems to mention it.
Bet Jason fucked that game up tho. It's MonHun + MGS + Anime + Coop. If it had a 2d fighting minigame in it it would be the only game Jason would need for the rest of his life.
Hey, Alex wore that same shirt in the most recent Contradiction video.
Only noticed cause I watched a bit of that 30 minutes ago.
I too wear t-shirts from a decade+ ago.
I'd wear t-shirts from a decade ago if I hadn't...grown out of those t-shirts.
Bummer. But it definitely seems like a very Jason game. It would be interesting if they did it for Metal Gear Scanlon. I'm not sure how well the games style would work with a video series. When I played I did a lot of side missions and base management, but I'm sure you could get through pretty quickly without messing with any of that.

Did you see that Dan is co-hosting on Colin and Greg Live on Friday? Should be fun, especially since both are huge Rocket League nuts now.
Yup, looking forward to it. Enjoyed it when he did it a few months back.

You had the privilege of giving them more money!
Heh, maybe look for a sale around PAX at the end of August.

I love the fact that Colin loves mayo as much as anyone should. And Dan.... well, we know about Dan and mayo. I still hope there will be a premium video series of Dan trying foods for the first time. I still can't believe that story he told, where his mom made him what he called the greatest mac and cheese he'd ever eaten, yet he thew it all out once she told him there was sour cream in it.

Someone just ditched me in Journey.
If you like GB personalities, then Velvet Sundown was the best platform for them to let loose. The funny sounding text to speech just made it better.
Man that only makes me sad
That Rising's story didn't bridge the gap between 2 & 4 with Raiden rescuing Sunny from The Patriots and all.
Someone just ditched me in Journey.
You're Jeff now.

What if Jeff is going to spend the week playing Journey with random people for an hour, then ditching them to make then feel his pain?

Man I really like the Jeff hosted bombcast.

Brother Jeff hosted it for years before Brad started hosting. I remember everyone in these threads were really positive on the change, too.
[EDIT] Well, Jeff hosted it after Ryan died.

A brad hosted podcast is better simply for the fact that that it forces brad to participate more. That's why the podcast has been even better since he took over
Jeff was always the guest host when Ryan was away too, that's where him playing an older Bombcast theme while talking over it came from.

dumb question but do you need ps+ to play journey online?
EdReedFan20
Member
Yes. The only games that don't need PS+ for online play are free to play games. Journey may be free for some, but that's only because its cross-buy. However, it is technically not free. If you did not buy it on PS3, you have to pay for the game on PS4. So, yeah, PS+ is required.

I also feel like Jeff is better when he doesn't need to worry about hosting.
Maybe Dan should host then.

obviously nothing like that, but I had to participate in a background check for a friend of mine who was going to be an officer in the military. now that's some serious stuff.
Generally it'll be a criminal history check, maybe talking to references listed/past jobs, and sometimes a credit check.
