Hah, I love that Johnny V just straight up said that the PSP porn story was about Chauncey Billups on today's podcast. It was obvious that it was, but funny to hear the man himself come out and say it.

I really loved the Johnny interview. I know it's probably because Jeff and Johnny have such a long history, but it really felt like the kind of content Jeff always talks about wanting to do, just talking to people who make games and hearing their stories. Super interesting!

Is the game you're asking about Mario Maker, MGSV or Destiny? Then the answer is no.

Just kidding. Sort of.

I'm surprised Jeff hasn't gotten into it, especially given how shit Tony Hawk is. I'm guessing it being 2D stops it from being the skating power fantasy the old Tony Hawk games were for a lot of people.

Yeah I remember jeff liking the first game a bit, or at least I remember him streaming a bit of him playing it.

Playing it does really make me want a good 3d skateboarding game though. As great as I think the olliolli games are, you obviously don't get to do anything at your own pace, and the details of the tricks you're doing kinda fade into the background while you're looking out for the next obstacle.

Jeff played some of OlliOlli 2, but I think he's gone on record saying that he's so bad at the game that he hits a wall pretty early on. OlliOlli is a game my brain can't take, I've never been worse at a game than that I think.

kiiiinda hoping they don't keep playing through life is strange.

my interest is way piqued in that game after the first 'choose your own adventure' stream, but now i'm stuck between wanting to play it for myself, or continuing to watch GBE play it without me thinking "YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG/BADLY" like i get with metal gear scanlon.

Then you should go play it yourself. It's a very good game and story, although there isn't really a "wrong" way to play it.

I bought the game instantly when they posted the second video. Happy with my decision.

It's not really that kind of game like MGSV.

It's totally worth playing yourself as it's a hard game to claim that someone is playing wrong. It might actually make you more interested in their playthrough if you play it as you'll potentially see different choices.

Hmm, I can see people having difficulty if it just doesn't click with them. It's one of those games where you have a lot of stuff to think about doing in a short amount of time. If you stick at it though, muscle memory eventually takes over and you don't really need to actively think about it.

I'm not so sure. I've always been bad at multitasking, and that game in some ways requires that to be decent at it. It just didn't feel like muscle memory would help me much, I'm just absolutely horrid at it.

Man Dan is totally an E minus at intel. The last episode was totally infuriating. Also anyone annoyed that they're barely trying to make any heads or tale of the story? I mean avoiding some of the tapes is fine but like the whole thing? It seems like the gameplay is blinding Drew to give a shit about the story.

SUCH A LUST FOR GOOBS? WHOO??WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO???

He listened to 2 tapes and gave zero of the fucks. In that setting, I can't even really blame him for that. Nothing in the game seems to interest him beyond the most superficial capacity. I mean I already know the story so I wouldn't need to hear the tapes again anyway. Buuuut I've already stopped watching this series so I really should stop thinking about it.

I try to bring it up every once in a while but he doesn't seem too interested in checking them out, unfortunately.

Drew has never been one to listen to codecs unfortunately, even though the tape replacement in V makes it much better since you can do stuff at the same time.
