Oh god those desks are so cluttered I would go crazy if my desk was like that.

 

[Chance Hale]

Damn, the enemies in MGS V really do start to react to your methods. Game just got a lot harder without going into details, and seemingly in every mission including side quests.

 

[Anjin M]

I have a real stormtrooper-chic mentality when it comes to the sparseness of my work areas. I couldn't work on a desk like that. But, hey, some people really thrive creatively in chaotic environments. I've seen worse.

Same here. I leave my desk so clear that people assume that I've been fired any time I go on vacation.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Gah. I can't watch the final part of Metal Gear Scanlon 1 (Pt 11) for some reason. My browser keeps dying whenever I try to access that particular video on GB.

Daaaaavvveeeeee

NinjaEdit: Now the site's down. Dave must be on it.

Edit: Looks like the site's back. Now I've tried the non-HTML5 player and everything's OK. I hate GB's video player...

Yup:

This is about as cluttered as I get:

I get three pieces of paper in slightly disorganized positions on my desk and I'm like "WAS I BORN IN A BARN FUCK."

Look at all you guys with your clean desks. Mines like a level 3 slob

Rorie truly is the best, and it looks like he is sitting with the rest of the duders now?

What does Dan say? Too sweet?

 

[Gattsu25]

I just listened to the Her Story interview that Austin did and it's probably the single best interview I've listened to from my games podcast feeds.

What a legitimately great interview!

Drew's on fire deadpanning in that MPP5.

Great crowd interaction.

I like Drew in front of the crowd because I don't think the rest of the guys appreciate his deadpan lowkey jokes enough

This Metal Gear second screen experience is really something else.

The most recognizable middle finger in gaming.

 

[Data West]

Has Dan seen this?

 

[Quentyn]

Mad Max doesn't look so bad. After seeing the reviews I expected much worse.

I haven't played Shadow of Mordor yet, but just from watching the Quick Looks I don't see how that game won all these awards while Mad Max gets critically panned. There doesn't seem that much difference to me. I actually think Mad Max looks better and I probably will get that first.

 

[jaina]

As Alex said:

I'm about a dozen hours into Mad Max. It's really not terrible. It's also really not very exciting. It just sort of Is.

There's been a lot of discussion about the comparison with Mordor in the review thread.
I don't care so I can't give my own opinion.

 

[Wunder]

Are you sure? Maybe it's rose-tinted glasses, but I seem to remember the change in comment style being pretty directly aligned with when the forum community was demolished with that big website revamp at some point. I remember people on GAF shitting on the comments back then and defending it as not actually being bad, but now I see it and it's actually bad.

I'm with you, the first couple years the community was pretty cool. I remember hosting SC2 tournaments for the GB community when Brad was super into it. However I guess I never really ventured out of that forum so perhaps General/comments on videos were pretty bad since the start.

Shadow of Mordor had the Nemesis System. Not everyone got into it but those that did, REALLY got into it. Besides that, they're both just generic open world games based on established properties so your mileage may vary on which property you care about more.

This is the best.

 

[AcridMeat]

They did Spring cleaning only 6 months ago.

Pretty sure that was just to get rid of their box mountain was it not? Doubt they cleaned their desks in the process.

Has Dan seen this?

Hahahahaha oh shit the amount of ideas popping in my head now.

By the way, my first mission

rescuing Kaz

I sprinted around bionic arming people.

Then I couldn't find him because I didn't scout properly and then decided it was time for dinner.

 

[Jintor]

You know come to think of it it's amusing to me that Revengeance has much more interesting *story* bosses than the B&B Unit. Mistral in particular basically has the exact same story as a B&B unit but is infinitely more interesting than any of them

Jetstream Sam needs his own full game.

I've played a bit of MGSV today (It finally finished downloading! Yay. It only took over a day). Really digging it so far. Love all the dumb situations you can get yourself in. For instance, in one mission I had a perfect stealth rating going. I just extracted the needed dude and I should've started to head out. I then heard Kids in America playing and I knew what I had to do. Ended up getting caught while searching for the tape, but I got it and sprinted out.

Totally worth it. My helicopter now plays Kids in America while coming to pick me up. It's amazing.

 

[Jintor]

tapes in this game I thought to myself "Man I hope these tapes are in the game so my chopper can race overhead blasting rockets and blaring pop music" and then they were:

a) kids in america
b)

I think that's the song Drew was excited for. He's going to have fun getting that one, it's in a hard to reach spot @_@

 

[ratcliffja]

I finished playing the prologue after work. Hopefully I'll have time to do the real game tonight. I need sleep so it will need to wait until after work again.

 

[BanGy.nz]

Have any of the New York fellas played MGS:V yet?

 

[Zero-Crescent]

WITNESS ME

THEY OPEN, I CLOSE, THEY OPEN AGAIN! I WILL RIDE THESE SUPPORT REQUESTS INTO VALHALLAAAAAAAAAAA!

 

[danm999]

Couldn't decide whether I wanted to make a War Boy joke or a Charlie from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia joke and was glad to see both had already been made.

Good stufff.

 

[mnz]

Amazing

 

[Xater]

The Sneak King drawer really was like a real life Airplane joke.

Still no panel. Seems like editing this one is a lot of work.

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I have a long flight coming up and will need to kill a lot of time. What are some good Vita or 3DS games to keep me sane?

I already own for Vita: Danganronpa 1, Sly Cooper Thieves in Time, Tear Away, Breath of Fire 4, Dino Crisis, Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, Mega Man X4, Wild Arms, Binding of Isaac Rebirth, Everyday Shooter, Gravity Rush, Luftrausers, OlliOlli, Retro City Rampage, and Spelunky.

And 3DS: Animal Crossing, Super Mario 3D Land, Legend of Zelda: ALBW, Pokemon X + Y, Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Prof Layton & the Miracle Mask, DK Country Returns, Tomadachi Life, Shovel Knight, Gunman Clive, Attack of the Friday Monsters, Zelda: Four Swords, Mario & DK Minis on the Move, Box Boy, Might Switch Force, OlliOlli, Pokemon Shuffle, Woah Dave!, Moon Chronicles, Pokemon Rumble World, and Steam World Dig.

I plan on getting Gunman Clive 2 for sure. I'm torn on possibly getting the MGS collection and/or Danganronpa 2 for Vita. I have zero interest in playing P4 Golden and other jrpgs.

Puzzles and Dragons Z? You've got a lot covered already. Perhaps Ace Attorney 5?

I'm sure if they have they will talk about it on the Beastcast.

You might be right, I thought Modor was over rated, but you are drawing comparisons between two games of which you have played neither.

You could say the new Mad Max film looks a lot like Waterworld - so the two must be of similar quality

 

[Maiden Voyage]

I'm super tempted to pick up Puzzles and Dragons. Is it good for long stretches or better in small doses?

 

[Sakwoff]

Mh.

The (RPG) meta game sure could lend itself to long sessions. Grinding up monsters and the like.

However, I find that the puzzle gameplay kind of doesn't, because it just gets tedious after a while. I personally can't play the game for hours on end. (love it though)

 

[Jothel]

boy you guys weren't kidding, Big Boss is basically a silent protagonist in cut scenes

 

[Kelas]

mgsv would be the perfect vinny mayhem playdate game

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

wouldnt be surprised if they have a very limited time to mocap keifer and this was the result. It would explain why he's all over the tapes but practically a mute in game.

but since i haven't finished the game there still might be a better excuse in there yet

 

[TheMrPliskin]

This Mad Max quicklook has made me realise that there aren't enough suplexes in videogames.

mgsv would be the perfect vinny mayhem playdate game

Totally, as long as they get a few hours in before hand. I'll be surprised if it happens though considering that there's already going to be a whole lot of Phantom Pain on the site.

I figured so, that's why I'm on the fence about buying it for this trip. Thanks for the info.
