It, in fact, is.

Also all of you need to get on my level of only having time to play one game for like four months straight. So far I've played Bloodborne and Witcher 3. It's been a year!

I've only beaten about five games this year.
It's kind of annoying to hear Jeff and Dan say they have 70 hours or so into MGS V and I haven't even cracked 30 yet.
 
this is it


this is the year that during all the bickering and filibustering, the A Striker will swoop in and strike


Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, goty

Guilty Gear last year was just him testing the boundaries, now he's going for the true victory.
I don't know what happened in that persona 5 trailer but I know that I liked all of it.
It's really good, the delays are clearly going to pay off.

I really need to go back and play more of this. I just wish it was on a console!

Why can't all games be playable exactly how I want them?!?!

I play through a game in like two weeks (like MGSV) and then don't play anything for the next three and half months, so I'd say we're about even.
 
pokemon shuffle is a decent puzzler, the f2p elements turn it into a slog

i'm nearing 100h playtime. "it would be insane to stop now" - big j

That's my dumbass logic. I'm 165 hours into it and I told myself I would stop when I caught Mewtwo. That was like two days ago and I told myelf "but I need coins for other legendaries I don't have" and I keep getting streetpasses for bonus stuff because I bring my 3DS to campus and I hate myself. IT NEVER ENDS.

i also caught all the pokemon in rumble world, 95% of them before they put out that patch with the special balloon

that was a new level of masochism

Dan has not been part of an endurance stream for GB yet has he? Hopefully he will be part of Extra Life 2015. His Guinness World Record attempts in the past makes me think he would be up for some silly stuff.

Also, Dan needs to force GB into beating some World Record.

Can Dan play Metal Gear Solid 1-4 back to back to back to back and be awarded something prestigious?

Last year it was supposed to be a Dan and Jason stream, but then the Royals went to the World Series for the first time in like decades, so he went home for that, and Lisa stepped in to help out Jason.

So I have little doubt that if nobody else in the office does a stream, Dan will.

Unless the Royals make it to the World Series again.

Zoggy you should really screencap that porn avatar and pm it. I have to know what the hell you were talking about.

Pretty cool to see Burnout Paradise and F-14 Tomcat on that list.

Try getting addicted to Rocket League, that will sap all of your hours. It's been that and MGSV at a slow burn for me.

so has anyone watched that Wendigo movie by that dude Fessenden?

I watched it a very long time ago when I was watching every Native American themed movie I could on Netflix but I don't remember much about it.

I'm okay with the Persona delay because now I can play the 3ds game before 5, totally selfish reasons, but it's good for me.

I'm fiending for that Spoilercast coming out tomorrow.

To be clear, am I remembering right that Dan mentioned on most recent Bombcast that he's happy with the ending?

I don't know if he exactly said he was happy with the ending, but he said he was happy with everything that happened. With the understanding that he saw this game as nothing more than extra. So I could see him liking just about anything and saying it's dumb cool guy awesome stuff, but he seemed to have no real expectations for it to be anything but fan service.

Dancing for joy happy. Though I don't know why you'd do that for ending the game.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good point, this is his game that he didn't expect to ever have...

Looking forward to a lively conversation in any case!
 
What does a jabroni like me need to do in order to get the most out of that game when it releases? Do I need to know what goes on in the other Persona games at all? I am planning on watching GB's Endurance Run of P4, for what it's worth..

Not at all.

Each game is its own thing. A few call backs and cameos happen from previous games but its never anything major.
 
Is it weird that I'm kind of happy that I don't know what they're saying?

Means that I have less of the story spoiled, but still get a sense for the graphics, gameplay and visual style.

Nah I get it, I'll probably stop paying attention to most P5 media at this point. For what it's worth the trailer sets up some interesting stuff and thankfully it's vague about what is actually going on.

Since the team changed with Persona 3 each game has been largely independent. There might be a reference or a nod to a previous game but that's it.

Wait.... Do Americans really know about Frère Jacques?

Let's be real, though. Biquette is way the fuck cooler than Frere Jacques.

whenever a game gets delayed, all i read on gaf/twitter is "20XX is gonna be crazy"

every year is a crazy year, apparently

Yeah, and it always comes off like some corny message written in the back of a high school yearbook. SUMMER GONNA BE CRAZY C/O 2016 STAY SO SWEET XO XO XO


Good. Today Draftkings. Tomorrow fanduel.

then DotA
 
Phew, thanks!

Will watch the GB Endurance Run for P4 to get a feel for what I can expect P5 to be like.

the ER is an excellent way to learn how to play a Persona game since it's two dudes who aren't experts learning the ropes as they go.

It got me to go back and play through my PS2 copy of PSFES and i felt like a pro while doing so.

This is true from Persona 3 on.

Persona 1 and the Persona 2 games have deeper connections (characters from P1 are playable in the P2s, for instance), and obviously both Persona 2s are connected.

Then again, for all intents and purposes when people think of the Persona series now, they're talking about Persona 3 on.

When P5 comes out there is going to be the worst backlash when Jeff isn't immediately super enthusiastic about it or immediately doing an ER of it. He's made it pretty clear he has no real interest in another ER, but you just know there's still going to be a surge of upset fans that will make Driveclub look like happy days.

Dillion Harper is a fave

When you have favorite pornstars, is what when you know you watch too much porn? Because I have, like, many favorites...

Yeah I noticed that, too. He needs to not do that.
The main reason I couldn't enjoy most of Patrick's videos. It's bad enough when someone else is constantly checking out chat, but when the person playing the game is reading chat almost as much a he's playing the game, it's a bit much.

I kind of hope that Jeff starts a running gag where he just never acknowledges that Persona 5 exists.

Everyone else can, but on the podcast when it comes up, just stay silent, never say a word about it. Leave everyone guessing.

Listened to the MGS4 spoilercast again. Cracked me up hearing Brad in his serious tone refer to MGS2 Raiden as "this effeminate little blonde girly man." Also, Ryan calling Otacon "Whiny White Kojima."

Otacon is fucking insufferable in MGS4, which sucks because he was Snake's nerdy bro in MGS2. So Ryan nailed it.
