I tried to do the same thing a couple of weeks ago. I got through episode one and gave up. It's so bad.

I bought the blu rays, got 15 minutes into Episode 1, and it promptly went on the shelf, where it remains today
those movies are somehow worse every time I've watched them

Lakeview Cabin episode 5 is now in beta, everyone should really check that out and watch the quick look if you haven't. True hidden gem of the year so far.

Lego Stars Wars games were pretty fun co-op.

Avalon Unplugged is still the best piece of content on Giant Bomb dot com.
I wish I could agree, but I cant handle the part where Rorie sabotages the game.

That might have been a later episode...

I thought Rorie was the best, he played like an ass on the last game it's really funny.
That was during the BLLSL I believe, he threw in a fail when he was a good guy

the first two (or even better, the combined version) are still my favorite lego games, I don't think they've ever done that formula quite as well as those
that clone wars one was a real bummer

In both podcast episodes this week, every time PC gaming is brought up reminds me of how pc gaming is such a hassle and why I don't bother with it.

The lego games are weird
they all have the same formula

What are you talking about? It's easy and most people who talk about PCs and have issues with them don't actually know what they are talking about. I can't remember what Jeff was talking about this week or last week regarding PCs but he got the facts completely wrong. PC gaming is easy and insanely cheaper than console gaming. Here is a good litmus test, Do you currently have bloatware still installed on your PC from when you bought it or do you have more than the recycle bin on your desktop? If so, clean it up, get it back to a basic vanilla install and you'll be able to see computers aren't that hard, people just are stubborn and don't want to learn the quicker and easier way of using a computer.

Weird because the last time I tried to play some Madden on an Xbox One that was literally the worst UI/UX experience I have ever witnessed in recent history from a multi-billion dollar company.
I seriously don't get how anyone's buying a console right now, they're such a bad fucking deal with only 2GB video cards while 12GB cards are already hitting the market, and Sony just announced a future hardware upgrade to the PS4.

I will never agree when PC defenders say this. Cite all the Steam sales you want, but the issue with expense is barrier to entry. People are way more willing to drop $400 at a time than $800 to $2500 plus time and effort for set up. If they can't get beyond the entry, nothing beyond it matters.

I'm probably primarily a PC game at this point, but there are still issues. If you're even remotely tech savvy, it's easy to learn how to deal with them, but I can certainly see the appeal of a console in that respect. Things like drivers, tweaking in-game settings, weird networking issues, etc. have all gotten better, but it's certainly not as idiot proof as consoles. Every PC I've built has run into some issue that I've had to spend a couple hours debugging. Then there's the fact that a decent PC will cost you at least $800, double what a console costs. Sure, you can save a lot by shopping GMG and Steam sales, but physical stores offer sales on console games that while not as good, make up a good chunk of that difference.

That is a problem with people's inability to analyze cost over time; it doesn't make the idea less true.

Anyone can see raw monetary cost benefit over an extended period of time. The issue is that it's combined with time, effort, and knowledge that most people don't have versus a dramatically lower cost and plug-and-play ease for what most people would consider good enough for them. The grand majority of gamers don't care about spending $800+ on a series of things they then have to study and spend hours putting together for their first try (I'm referencing that twitch stream a lot today lol). PC gaming is easier and cheaper than it's ever been, but the distance between ease of entry for hardcore and the "average/casual" (grand majority) gamer is still massive.
I've played every major PC release this year, at a decent framerate, with a $600 laptop I got on newegg this spring. It just takes a bit of research.
Plus the added bonus of it having all the functionality of a computer and not some jack of all trades set top box.

Which laptop is it?
I usually can't deal with gaming laptops though. They never seem to be good laptops for laptop use to me.

I prefer this thing! How can you possibly prefer something different?! Here's why you're wrong for preferring something that isn't the thing I prefer!
No one commented on this but this is fucking rad. I think personally I'd make Dan the over the top enthusiastic 5 and Jeff the 1 but I love it anyways.

Though the real deal is that you can never play persona 5 on PC.
So there's that.
So there's that.

It should be interesting to see if they can get the "early morning stream" (has to be them talking over the Sony Paris Games Week conference, right?) up and running smoothly and keep it that way throughout the stream. The first part is easy (I think), but can they do the second part? Drew's gone for about two weeks and he's not even in the country. Do we know how long Jason plans to remain with Lisa and little baby Griffin before returning to work?
Unless you're pushing 60 FPS on that laptop, I suspect that the PC enthusiasts on this site will laugh you away.
Of course, the best part of PC gaming is that you can scale your experience. I just prefer consoles because they are dead simple.

Framerate can be pretty subjective, but you probably won't be able to say the same in two years like a console or custom gaming PC player would. I bought an amazing $900ish laptop in 2011 and its high end gaming longevity lasted about 1.5 years. That's what pushed me to learn and build a PC in early 2013.
Sorry if I'm coming off as aggressive everyone, but I get really engaged in topics like this.

There's always going to be some system exclusives worth owning. That's just the way of things. If you don't have a big enough gaming budget for a console and a PC, I think that's a 100% valid reason to go with a console.
I'm an idiot who spends way to much money on games, so I usually end up owning everything. I mean, I'm a dummy who has now bought 2 Vitas because I broke one. No one should take financial advice from me.
(On a related note, I'm pleasantly surprised by the Vita slim. The screen is noticeably different and definitely worse in some ways, but I got used to it really quick. I love the reduced wait and added battery life, so I think it's a worthy trade off. The better buttons are great too. Build quality feels worse in general, but judging it purely by using it, I really dig it).

I bought two PSTVs and a Vita.
