this rugby score bumming me out

A Pumas semi would've given your guys a real shot at the final. #RIP6Nations.

Top of the page? In that case everyone vote for more Life is Strange for the upcoming GBEast stream. It's a cool game for cool people.

Ain't been living until you're on a Whataburger only diet.

Had Whataburger biscuits and gravy at midnight and it was glorious.

There is! You can search for AnjinM on your PS4 and find the community through his profile.

EDIT: Myggen is fast like Saaaaanic.

Finally we can continue our discussions on the deepest anime lore on the PS4. Next Gen indeed.

Dan's character has a backstory now. He's actually a millionaire.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Rewatching UPF, Jeff's well water experience is not indicative of how modern wells are. My dad lives in a rural part of California and has a well, and it's the best water. These days wells have reverse-osmosis filters so the sulfur/iron issues Jeff was referring to don't exist anymore. I'm always bummed out when I come home and have to drink/bath in gross city water.

It's true. Peak Whataburger occurs at about 3:00 AM.

Any of you guys just wake up one day and realise that Rorie is your favourite duder?

His sense of humour matches mine perfectly.

Now I see why Vinny had Alex piloting Until Dawn.

Because Vinny is bad at video games

 

[Jeevesmeister]

lol

It would have been better if he attributed it to all the Air Force Gator sales.

"Heh! Turns out all these stupid nerds buy whatever self-referential nostalgic trash you pour in front of them! Fffuuuu-yuuccck you!"

he's alright at video games. he's a bad person to trust with a video game.

I've started playing through Life is Strange finally so I can watch GBeast's playthrough as it comes. This is a good damn video game. I really liked the ending to episode 1, but holy crap Max is a clumsy person. Half the rewinds I've done has been because Max knocked over a drink onto something, or failed at getting something off a shelf.

Rorie is great because he is completely insane.

Is Rorie the Kramer of GB?

Listening to old Bombcasts

Brads voice was super deep back then

I mean it still is

But back then... super deep

What if you're as clumsy as her

but whenever something like that happens you rewind time back

but you just don't remember it

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

I'll say that Dan is George.

holy SHIT

holy SHIT

Wouldn't that be...strange

everything's always strange on some level, right?

 

[Glitchesarecool]

but you're the one rewinding time, and in LiS rules that's the only person remembering someone's is rewinding

It always is.

Edit: I always felt it to be the same, tbh.

Yeah but we're not talking LiS here but real life.

That goes for most fast food tbh.

If you like Episode 1, you're gonna love this game. I thought episode 1 was ok, but man does this game get consistently better.

Taco Bell when the sun is still out makes me feel less miserable about eating taco bell.

I hope Austin writes something about the new Gundam series because it's legit as hell and I want to know what he thinks of it.

We have 2 episodes to judge it on. Let's not get too hasty. It has some awesome ideas, but it could still easily go to shit. Look what happened to 00.

Having too much hope is something you can't afford as a Gundam fan, haha.

I'm surprised the Simulcast isn't locked behind premium.

That's because CR is getting it a week late. For the real simulcast, you have to check out Daisuki or Hulu+. We're on Episode 3 now.

Giant Bomb - (Some) Pokemon Snap Highlights

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Since Dan mentioned it again in this weeks podcast, a reminder to watch Dan's playthrough of Tail of the Sun if you haven't already.

 

[Data West]

And since Jeff mentioned it on demo derby, people should watch the Deadly Creatures Quick Look.

 

[Myggen]

Yeah, it's great. That and Illbleed are my favourite Super Replays.

 

[mattiewheels]

Doing a playthrough of MGSV is starting to sound not so fun for Drew. It seems like it could end up being the equivalent of locking a kid in a closet with a box of cigars. It's just not really made for this kind of thing I don't think...

 

[Xater]

Yeah, it's great. That and Illbleed are my favourite Super Replays.

I love the Cyberia Super Replays, because they are just breaking during those.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I really don't get where people are coming from that drew is forcing himself through mgsv. He actually seems to be having fun with the game's mechanics unlike the other metal gear games.

 

[Myggen]

The main character in Castlevania IV looks so weird.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Illbleed, Blue Stinger, and the Cyberia 1/2 Super Replays are must-watch videos. The games are insane, and you get a healthy dose of Ryckert.

I love the Cyberia Super Replays, because they are just breaking during those.

"DAN, DAN SHUTTHEFUCKUP

DAN, SHUT THE FUCK UP"

The main character in Castlevania IV looks so weird.

Dude doesn't have a face.

 

[Lelcar]

I love 00. Among my favourite of the Gundam series. Since then it's just been AGE and weird chibi stuff that doesn't do anything for me, so I'm excited to jump into this new one. It's been so long since 00 and Iron Blooded Orphans finally seems like the next successor to Wing and Seed and 00, but yeah, we'll see how the show turns out with more episodes.

 

[Noray]

I really don't get where people are coming from that drew is forcing himself through mgsv. He actually seems to be having fun with the game's mechanics unlike the other metal gear games.

idk he's playing on autopilot and seems to have zero investment in anything, from his eyeroll when he listened to 2 tapes to his lack of desire to experiment or even attempt a stealthy approach. I'm not saying he's DISliking it but he certainly doesn't come across like he's very engaged.

 

[Myggen]

Dude doesn't have a face.

Yeah, it's that and he just looks like a sack of meat.

Well, he didn't exactly play the previous games in a very stealthy way either. Playing the least stealthy way he can seems to be the Drew way of playing MGS games, this one included.

00 Season 1 was great, but it went so downhill from there for me. Probably the biggest drop-off I've ever seen in a Gundam show. I really want to see a show do the tone of 00 or Wing well, since I think both those shows fail miserably.

 

[Data West]

Gundam is stupid pie in the sky faux emotional nonsense and always has been
Go Nagai robots are cool dudes doing cool things

 

[Myggen]

Does the Gundam series have any interesting characters, or is it more just a cool action things happening all the time kind of anime?

 

[Noray]

Yeah, it's that and he just looks like a sack of meat.

That's true but those were both shorter and harder (possibly with the exception of MGS4 for "harder"). I was hoping in a longer, more free-form format Drew might actually try to play somewhat competently. Those dreams are dead.

Then he isn't very engaged with every other metal gear solids then.

 

[yami4ct]

Absolutely. Before CCA ruined him, Char is legitimately one of the most interesting villains/anti-heroes I've seen in a mecha show. Bright Noa has a really good arc as well, as does Sayla. Outside of UC, it gets a bit murkier. G has some fun characters, but it's way sillier. Wing's cast is god awful. SEED has some good stuff, but it quickly ruins them. Turn A is amazing in general. Outside of that, it's pretty standard.

If you go to the more serious OVA stuff, 08th MS Team and War in the Pocket are awesome for character work. Both those are on the ground stories about grunt units and they tell pretty interesting war stories. I also think all the characters in The Origin manga are super well drawn and interesting, much more so than they were in the original series.

Those dreams were dead from the start.

Hey I know how to stump the new Dan character.

"Dirty Dan, what is a mortgage?"

(Promo sucks btw)

 

[skLaFarebear]

From what I've seen of the UC timeline so far, it has great characters. Everything outside of that has been hit or miss for me.
