I had a friend who honestly contended that it was the best in the series. But he had absolutely awful taste in movies.

I'll always give Salvation some props for at least trying something new.
A shame they didn't go with the original ending idea for Salvation.

He did, I think he admitted it was poor.Did Dan watch Terminator 5?
I feel like Genisys is basically T2 fanfiction.
No VinnyVania is a bummer. I only caught the first half of it live. Did Vinny end up beating Castlevania 3?
no, iirc they beat that hydra boss, got to another mummy boss then stopped

Is that the ending that's just everyone being killed at the end?

Don't get me wrong, it's a fantastic movie and easily one of the best action movies of all time. It's also kind of T1 fanfiction.hey

I've never even seen any of the Terminator movies and this is probably the best dumbest thing I've seen all week.
Plus Dwight Yoakam in the background. Good stuff.

Based on the trailers I don't doubt that at all.I think Genisys is much more so and much more straight forward in its fawning.

Happy Monday everyone. I'm spending my morning learning about SharePoint 2013.
Please kill me.
Please kill me.
people fucking slept on Killer Mike, man
I was a fan way befoe Run The Jewels. I'm so cool.
Seriously though, R.A.P. Music and the Grind trilogy > Run The Jewels 1 and 2.

I know that i'm super late to this train but Galak-Z looks so damn good. I think i'll hold off for the PC release since the framerate seems to fluctuate a bit too much for me on the PS4 but that's going to be a hard wait.

I never thought we'd see the day where we'd be complaining that they've started too many series, but here we are.
At this point they have so many balls in the air, it's hard to service them all.
Breaking Brad, Metal Gear Scanlon, Old Games Show, Demo Derby, Encyclopedia Bombastica, VinnyVania, GBE Playdate: Contradiction, Blight Club (which I don't think they've done a single episode of outside of the BLLSL), Ranking of Fighters, Mario Party Party, Giant Bomb Unplugged...
They seriously have a ridiculous number of "active" video series at the moment.

Killer Mike's solo work generally had mediocre production (with some exceptions) before he teamed up with El-P, that's why people slept on him. Always been a really good MC, but the production always held him back up until R.A.P. Music.

This is one of those "wrong opinions" I've heard so much about.

Yeah, when I compiled the list of ongoing video features in the OP I realized just how many active features they've got.
You know, having made that list (and forgot Jar Time), I realized that I'd be willing to trade UPF for most of those features.
I understand the appeal of UPF for the crew in that it's much more of a low maintenance show (I'm assuming the bulk of the work is ensuring that the needed systems are hooked up), but UPF tends to have a much higher miss ratio than the other features.
I suppose the counter argument is that there's been so many more UPFs, but whatever.

safe to say that Unplugged, as it last stood, is deader than dead. That series Farmville'd at the end

UPF still provides the highest of high points for all of its 'boring' moments.
Also, I'm probably the only one, but I get a kick out of the nonchalant way Jeff introduces (or doesn't introduce) the show.

I agree
Also I'd kill the ranking of fighters cause personally I think it's just a snorefest but that's me... At least I'm happy that Jeff finally does a regular premium feature other than UPF.

Problem is, they're mostly GBWest. GBeast has Contradiction (which is only a couple more videos) and VinnyVania (which is bad and never should have gone on this long). They need more on-going projects. It's probably because they don't have a 'Dan' - someone who's just constantly thinking of entertaining stuff to do, Vinny's kinda like that but he has a lot on his plate as the only video/audio producer.

I'd almost be inclined to agree, but I don't feel totally comfortable calling it dead until we hit 6 months without an entry.
Of all the series I listed, I honestly think Blight Club is the most dead, given that we are months out from the BLLSL and they've never bothered to even do a single episode of it.

UnPro is fine. It's nice to have a casual, more unfocused feature.
God, I forgot that even existed. I can see GBeast doing some D&D stuff at some point.
They seem to be planning to. Austin let slip something about a podcast on the latest Beastcast.

Yeah, they made a big mistake trying to take it back toward D&D. I know a lot of people were wanting it and all, but it just wasn't working.

Also, watching the demo derby again, and the one question that is left burning in my mind is where did bucket hats go?

I think Ranking of Fighters would be more interesting if they played two or three games per episode instead of one. The list would fill faster, and they could compare and contrast the games in a more meaningful way.

Unplugged works best not for something like D&D, but the one-off games like Avalon. Those less structured party games allow for more interplay and quick riffing.
They should have just shifted through playing all the random games people were sending into the office. Who doesn't want to watch Dan, Jeff and Jason compete in wrestling trivia?

Huh I didn't catch that, I know that Vinny and Austin mentioned that they should do something but I think that was a while ago now.They seem to be planning to. Austin let slip something about a podcast on the latest Beastcast.
Have they? I feel like it hasn't even come up since the BLLSL.They've been saying that for months.

I agree. 2 hours for Toshinden 3 seemed a mite excessive. I'd limit each game to a single hour.
Have they? I feel like it hasn't even come up since the BLLSL.
Ah. I thought you were saying that they recently said something about it.
That's kind of what I was referencing, that they said it was imminent during the BLLSL. I don't recall anything since then.

Yeah, at the start of the episode.
