Definitely covered that in my previous post.

It really does. It looks like what i imagined a well done 3D Dragon's Lair would've looked and played like. I can't wait for it to be cheap so I can snap it up

My point about Kojima stands. All those gratuitous shots of the laughing octopus or whatever were really gross, even more so when Dan explained the origin of it all.
So, Japan.

if the japanese government can't convince young men to get out of the house and go do some pop pop for the republic then it's up to Kojima to motivate the populace

How did Brad mess up the SotC quick look? Never watched that one.
And everything that happens in Ground Zeroes/V is set up by Peace Walker. It's a legitimate MGS game after all. Skipping it or just bulk consuming hours of audio tapes isn't really the best way to go about it.

I'd have thought Dan played enough Metal Gear to know why Snake dropped the cigarette.

Didn't realize the grip meter was a thing. It was.... taxing to watch.

Neither he nor Ryan took notice of the grip meter (you know, the only mechanic in the game), so he repeatedly falls off the colossus and blames the game. They don't kill the colossus.
oh god I remember that. Probably the most I've ever gotten annoyed at a video on the internet.
Wouldn't go that far.

They're both not good, but I prefer the Final Fantasy brand of nonsense. It has been a long while since I played a Final Fantasy game, though. I just know that watching MGScanlon has reminded me how crappy the Metal Gear dialogue is.

There have been so many nonsensical FF games that I think that comparison is unfair.
While MGS isn't exactly the greatest or the best told story in gaming at least it makes sense...mostly.

FFXIII for example feels like it was written by someone with no understanding of basic storytelling.

Stuff like those seem so much funnier when you're watching live, but in retrospect it's like "Yeah that's a dumb thing to say" or "Yeah technical issues happen". Viewing the GB-talks-over-conference videos later make it seem like they overreact to many things, even though at the time I was right there with them.

When watching those live, it seemed like they were overreacting too. Playing it up.
Probably because you've watched them before and know what's gonna be said.

I dunno, it didn't feel like that at the time for me.
Yeah that's true. The "shock" of conference snafus really amplifies them.

It's weird hearing about Giant Bomb overreacting to E3 press conferences when a lot of the complaints this year was that they didn't react enough to certain announcements.

Lol, Wasn't even thinking of them when I made that comment. Sorry, wasn't trying to bring them up 
I'll agree that Kinda Funny are terrible though. Or at least Greg Miller is. He's always been terrible when he's showed up on Giant Bomb.

I like Greg Miller, but I don't find the other Kinda Funny people that interesting. I haven't spent a lot of time watching their stuff, to be fair.
Speaking of San Francisco media personalities, I bet Max Scoville's gonna be hired at some point. Likes old games, is really funny, seems to respect Giant Bomb and Jeff going by his Tumblr, and knows Dan. He seems like the Giant Bomb type. They've mentioned him on the Bombcast a couple of times too.

Brad's a life-r. Drew's next on the docket to leave.
I dunno man, he's actually really great on Comedy Button and Podcast Beyond and I'm usually painfully bored by anything on IGN.

Rare Replay QL hype.
I hope it's like a demo derby where they have to look at everything in the game at least once

As much of a poorly-thought out cluster fuck the whole Red Ash kickstarter was, I do really want a new game in that style. Maybe I should go back and play MM Legends 2, which I never played.
