Ooooh no. Patrick's real big on this shoe idea. It might be a long night.

I bet Tricky regrets his decision daily.

oh dear, he's not putting it down but throwing it, activating it in the process

Man I never wouldve figured out that you can drop the pow block without blowing it up

omg three streams going on at once my attention can't take it (including NXT)

That is awesome. I'm really loving the playful rivalry that has developed because of Mario Maker.

The future is here.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Jeff is so psyched out about this.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Surely Periscope supports landscaped videos, SURELY.

 

[Megasoum]

The Periscope is actually better than the making of stream lol

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Me photographing Dan periscoping Drew periscoping Jeff watching Patrick play Mario Maker level made by them and the community (while watching Patrick play said level).

 

[neshcom]

Listening to the new Bombcast and I'm 100% over hearing about the Destiny expansion. It's to the point where I had to just totally skip that segment on the podcast.

Is this what it's like, people who don't care about MGSV?

 

[Myggen]

Filming this with a camera would've been quality site content.

 

[Archaix]

This can be Patrick's turn, with the janky Periscope quality it will fit right in on that blog he works for.

 

[Zaph]

I bet Tricky regrets his decision daily.

Half his tweets seem GB related. You do wonder...

 

[hamchan]

Yo Mario Maker should win GOTY.

 

[Archaix]

Yo Mario Maker should win GOTY.

This is what I've been saying for a month.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Yo Mario Maker should win GOTY.

I hope so badly that come GOTY time, Jeff makes a hard stand for Mario Maker over Metal Gear. He's the one to do it, right?

 

[Archaix]

This is clearly the most appropriate thread for this.

The man who just won a match in NXT has this minion tattoo on his foot:

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Don't have a wiiu so I haven't played Mario maker, but just by watching it, it definitely deserves GOTY over MGSV.

That needs to be a Extra Life stretch goal, Jason and/or Alex get that tattoo.

Is it unethical for me to put Mario Maker on my top 10 list this year if I never actually played it myself?

 

[mintyice]

Is it unethical for me to put Mario Maker on my top 10 list this year if I never actually played it myself?

I put PT in my top 10 last year and I didn't play it.

I'll probably put Until Dawn there too and I didn't play that either

 

[The Dear Leader]

Is it unethical for me to put Mario Maker on my top 10 list this year if I never actually played it myself?

I'm one of those people that says yes it is, I excluded a lot of great games last year because I didn't play them, but I can see the argument against my train of thought too.

That's a really interesting question in these days of Let's Plays and such.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I sure most people wouldn't agree but I find the Mario 3 aesthetic to be more visually pleasing and consistent than the Mario World aesthetic. I think the Mario World highs are higher but the lows are lower.

yup, i'd have to agree, smb3's aesthetic is much more coherent and almost has that picture book vibe to it sometimes

i prefer smw as a game but i gotta hand it to art team of 3, it's a work of genius

 

[Myggen]

From the Battlefront video:

It does. I'm guessing it's harder to be stealthy filming at Taco Bell when your phone is sideways.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Just prop the phone up in a hard shell taco and it's all good.

I didn't know that those round brown things in Mario world were supposed to be goombas till Mario maker. So Mario 3 has it beat on that.

But the multiple exits, the branching paths, the cape, and even special world makes smw the best Mario for me. I played Mario 3 a bunch when younger but never really had the drive to finish it yet I 100%ed smw

 

[danm999]

Oh man Patrick is already trying the course? I'm not done watching the archive on YouTube of them making it.

 

[Tubobutts]

I don't know why, but Vinny calling himself Jimmy Caravella is very funny to me.

Last year I couldn't even build a top 10 list of games I liked, let alone finished. I feel ok about including Mario Maker on my list.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Last year I couldn't even build a top 10 list of games I liked, let alone finished. I feel ok about including Mario Maker on my list.

I had to dig a lot deeper than I normally do to get a full 10 list last year but I still really enjoyed all the games I picked.

Last year sucked.

People who are incredulous Shadow of Mordor won GOTY shouldn't be when they remember what year it came out in.

 

[Lelcar]

gotta cap off those pipes, man

 

[broncobuster]

I agree but It is a strange view for the direction all Mario went after 3. Mario 3 will always be my Mario standard for growing up with it. Think about the colour of fire flower Mario, the average length of Mario levels, Mario World defines all that.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

I grew up playing Super Mario Land 2 for years before I so much as touched any other Mario game, so think how I feel

And there it is.

The Tony Hawk review is up
http://www.giantbomb.com/reviews/tony-hawks-pro-skater-5-review/1900-718/
"Don't waste your time. You deserve better. Tony Hawk deserves better. Hell, even guest skater Lil Wayne deserves better."

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I like how once you hit this paragraph

OK, let's go deeper. I'm going to put this out there: A big part of what made Tony Hawk so successful back on the original PlayStation and PS2 was the way you could instantly pause the game and restart your run with a few quick presses. Bing, bang, boom, you're back in the game and ready to correct your previous mistake. Games like Super Meat Boy benefit from that same sort of quick retry, making trial and error as frictionless as possible. In Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 5, starting a goal includes a load screen, which takes you out of the meaningless online freeskate mode and drops you into a solo instance. Then you sit there for a few seconds. Then a menu for the goal in question shows up. Then you have to wait for a little animation to complete, hit a button to start the goal, then your skater teleports to the goal start point and a three-second timer begins. Then, and only then, are you permitted to skate. If you mess up immediately--which, given the trial-and-error nature of some of the game's worst goals, is likely--you need to pause, push down like four times, enter a menu, confirm that you want to retry, then wait while the game hits a load screen and picks up from the "here's what this goal is" part of the previous process.

you can suddenly hear Jeff's voice in your head, his temper slowly slipping as he shouts louder and louder and starts emphasizing words more

 

[Infinite Justice]

Jeff with that Ether in the by-line of the Tony Hawk review

 

[danm999]

That byline.

It's been a while since there's been a 1 star review as well. Now that Giant Beast is up and running Alex is no longer the shit game editor.

Edit; shit last one was NBA Live 14 back in 2013.
