nice LCD Soundsystem reference

 

[Teddified]

Ugh can't sleep, just got my second wind. So I guess I'm watching Rocket League live then.

 

[daydream]

Prime day more like *toilet flushing noises*

what you don't go nuts over 20% on diapers

 

[Backfoggen]

They should play Haze MP against each other.

 

[CB3]

Rocket League twitter hasnt updated the server status since them being offline.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

That's so emblematic of the sale in general, Twin. And that particular deal they thought was so impressive they've featured that banner on the front page all fucking day.

 

[Zaph]

So good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHjvUjlF1kE

 

[Backfoggen]

What the fuck is this solo lmao

I spent all my money on mouthwash and Crocs so diapers are out of the question now.

 

[mintyice]

sounds like a whammy plus a ring modulator.

 

[Cyros]

Oh... well that makes a lot more sense. Why do so many people use the Japanese pronunciation/spelling of something that has a clear English counterpart? Like I don't get the usage of waifu for instance.

i like to hear this counterpart, lol

Bae

[stump sock]

i like to hear this counterpart, lol

the usage of waifu by non-japanese almost certainly originated from Azumanga Daioh

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AgDbAT56I0

it became a minor meme that then spread far beyond its original scope

now if you're asking about other words that are used like that, in a lot of cases it's because the words used by the japanese aren't butchered english; they're what are called "wasei-eigo" (literally "japanese made english,"/ loan words) that have in many cases evolved to mean something different from their original meaning

but then there's other times where using the japanese version of the word is just way more descriptive; there are pretty distinct differences between japanese conbini and western convenience stores, even though you could also accurately call the japanese ones that as well.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Well, guess there's no show today then.

DEAD

 

[Keyser Soze]

I just bought One Piece Collection 2 (Episodes 27-53). Well that's certainly fucked things up.

 

[Myggen]

Well, guess there's no show today then.

Jeff said 15 minutes ago they'd go live in about 15 minutes.

 

[stump sock]

hey, I use those, that's a good purchase imo

 

[ShaggsMagoo]

I wish Giant Bomb would finally get a live video player that was HTML5 so i could get rid of flash and also play live content on my xbone.

 

[Haunted]

"People who bought this also bought" is unbelievably hilarious and insightful.

 

[Chance Hale]

That hot Godzilla game has online support.

Despite Alex's tweets I still want it

 

[Backfoggen]

Sounds awful. Live they seem to just play a generic distorted wah thing instead of the solo lol.

 

[EdReedFan20]

It's up.

[EdReedFan20]

People in the chat are saying the servers are working.

my point is that there's no " traditional" english counterpart to waifu, with the same history and the dumb connotations and that's why nobody says "wife" instead, that'd be super extra weird, in fact

typing on a touchscreen still suuuuucks

It's a good game.

Euro GB represent apparently.

Se-weet.

Refresh if you're getting the Bradborne player still.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Guys chat is up.

Chat's up

 

[ratcliffja]

Looks like it's finally working if you reload.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Bah, player is still effed on iOS. No Youtube stream either.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Of course they are gonna play when I have to leave.

 

[AcridMeat]

I just watched the UPF with your avatar and holy crap have their UPFs recently all been this good?! hahahah

 

[Teddified]

What would be the "shoot that guy" of this game? "Hit that ball?"

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Jeff said 15 minutes ago they'd go live in about 15 minutes.

oh i figured since the servers were dead at the time there wasn't much they could do.

 

[Mister Negative]

prime day being a total bust is like the most hilarious thing. people have been hyping this for weeks!

 

[ratcliffja]

I just watched the UPF with your avatar and holy crap have their UPFs recently all been this good?! hahahah

Sadly no. It's by far the best one they've done in a long time.

 

[Jamie OD]

At last some in-site competition. Fight for our admiration!

 

[Keyser Soze]

You're not singing
You're not singing
You're not singing anymore
You're not sinnnngggginggg anymore

 

[EdReedFan20]

Apparently the servers are working fine. Someone in chat said they got into an online game very quickly.

 

[mintyice]

F5

 

[LiK]

watching Bradborne ep 5. hahaha, Brad thought it was gonna be easy. i warned you Bradley!

 

[Jimmyfenix]

It's a good game.

damn str8

 

[MadLaughter]

Is there really no way to watch it on iOS?

 

[Glitchesarecool]

damn str8

I see you have chosen the worst waifu as your avatar. How sad.

 

[Mister Negative]

reminder: a vote for GBeast is a vote for Vinny.

You wouldn't not vote for Vinny, would you?

 

[Teddified]

Is there really no way to watch it on iOS?

Have you tried chrome?

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Vinny has his baby beddy-bye music mixed up with his rockin'/jazzy dance mix he usually has on here.

well i also quoted the wrong post so i mean we are all fail

heck, "hentai" is an opposite example of a loan word that doesn't mean what it "should" mean. it's an adjective in japanese, in english it's a noun.
