Yo-kai Watch is so hype, holy cow. The music alone compels me to play it.

It's a bagel that uses egg in the batter, or in the case that the shop already uses egg in the batter, it uses extra eggs.
Dead Space 3 was a great game.
2 is still the high point.
The crafting in 3 was a good idea but became a little much. And I don't think i needed a made for co-op experience.
Still a ton of fun, i am surprised more games haven't stolen the gun that changes vertical/horizontal orientation. Love that thing

Dead Space 1 was so tense that I couldn't play it, even after I realized that vent = scream then monster. The scariest thing in Dead Space 2 was a loud sprinkler. Still liked it, though.

Is there a website where I can look at all of the pictures of Jeff Gerstmann. Please keep in mind this is a private matter. Thanks.

A-ha - are they that different to regular bagels?

Wow I'd never actually seen MGS1 all the way through before. That game is crazy impressive for 1998. Hell, its impressive for now in some ways

Huh, weird.
I thought there was quite a bit of hype behind rodea? It looks thoroughly mediocre.

Call me when I can get a sausalito maker from steam.
I think a lot of it stemmed from people being told 'this is a thing from a creator you like and you can't have it'. Sort of built up a mystique it didn't deserve over time because of that.
Also, there are crazy people out there that like NiGHTS.

They are yellow. Maybe different texture, but I have no idea, can't think of having one in the past 20 years.

Yeah that's what's got me the most excited, not Battlefront, but the potential of singleplayer Star Wars games with Frostbite, it's a hell of an engine and is clearly well optimized in terms of visuals and performance.
The most obvious comparison really works: Dead Space 2 to 1 is Aliens to Alien, and Dead space 3 is Alien 3.
Stupid microtransaction bullshit that's totally avoidable still fucked up the way the ammo distribution (the key resource this series had) worked. Co-op was fun though (with some cool Kane & Lynchian stuff) and as stupid as I hear it is, I still want to play the DLC. Anyone up to co-op Dead Space 3 at some point? I'm up for more idiocy.

Goddamn the rodea wii u version looks like crap.
Feel like the discussion on the bombcast about Battlefront was super strange. I would say both CoD and the new Battlefields are way easier to get into for new players, the kill times are such in those games that even new players could jump in get kills and have fun with other stuff. Battlefront is way more savage.

Alex's claim that this is a "worst game" contender seems legitimate. Sonic Boom: RoL for 2015
the bootleg office video from last night is making my morning less awful
Watching just the intro on UPF, I immediately got the MGScanlon 1-4 vibe. Hopefully they play through it in the new year.
The Play Asia thread is a great pick-me-up for the midweek humdrums.

Seems kind of early for them to have their GOTY stuff recorded next week. Guess some are going out of the office or something similar soon after that?

good recommendation. it's giving my "skeleton" chrome extension a workout.
mostly that thread made me wonder when the new Gal Gun is coming out in the US
they always do it around that time.
yea, I think MGR already gave Drew that feeling of the first 4 MGS games in terms of insanity. should be good game to end on for MGScanlon. I wanna see Drew's reactions to the cutscenes and insane boss fights.
I still say the co-op was a stupid inclusion. I'm willing to bet the vast majority or players played single-player only, meaning they never got to see the content only accessible in co-op.
I'm so glad that stupid trend appears to be over.
I did like and enjoy Dead Space 3 though. Was annoyed I triggered the infinite ammo bug early on and didn't realize it until close to the end. Feel like I should play it honest to see if it's still as easy without that bug.

Guess that is just enough time to play a little of Just Cause 3, which is probably all that matters to them.

So glad to hear everyone's interest in SOMA on the podcast. It may get the recognition it deserves after all.

Shame about the technical issues but overall looks nice. Probably going to pick this up at the end of the year with Fast Racing Neo.
Was it not 9v9 in Halo 3?

Wait, what did they do with the co-op to warrant the Kayne and Lynch nod?

I already talked about my DS3 co-op experience but I'll just go ahead and say it again
fuck DS3
I assume he means the stuff where the second player is constantly hallucinating which would be kind of amusing if it wasn't so frustrating

Yeah, no idea what people saw in it.
Well, I do have some ideas, but mentioning those would probably just piss people off.

That sounds familiar, maybe they mentioned it in the marketing or something. Were the hallucinations more annoying than the DS2 hallucination moments?

The box of N-Gage in Jeff's bootleg office video is crazy. So many duplicates.

oh you mean Sonic fans? because that's the only thing I can think of

so the hallucinations work in two ways:
-at certain points, player 2 (this was me in our playthrough) sees and/or hears things that the other player can't. it's not very effective but it's a cool idea
-at other points, it literally separates the two players and player 2 is sent into a dream world thing where you have to fight a billion of those awful little baby monsters and shoot a rock or something to escape? in the meantime your buddy is locked in a room fighting monsters without backup until you can return. if either one of you fails, you both fail and you have to restart the entire sequence. between the crummy netcode and the fact we were playing on Hard, this resulted in like 10 failures in a row
e: oh good, double post. GAF is super busted today

I played through DS3 in coop with a buddy. I enjoyed it, the gun crafting was a blast. We'd both step up to the bench and then compare the silly guns we'd made.

it got big to the point where now people are defending their choice to enjoy dumb titty games against... nobody? I'm not sure who's telling them not to play them? weird persecution complex in there.
as long as it's not gross loli shit, I don't give a crap, and I think I kind of fall on the more progressive side of things in a lot of cases?
it's still less weird than the OT otaku thread where people with anime avatars are acting like a persecuted minority. I don't mean that as a put down. I mean literally people are defending having anime avatars against perceived bigots.
most are loli avatars.

Frustrating? In what way, it was limited to like 4 missions. If anything that frustrated me as that was some of the most interesting stuff.
As short as the DLC is it has a good amount of that for both players which I enjoyed. More games need to mess with the idea of both players seeing different things.
Edit: I see you answered above, apologies.
I can see why those moments would be an annoyance. I don't recall having much issues myself. I thought the stuff in those moments was actually pretty effective. Like I said I wish there had been more, me and my buddy who I co-oped it with were super disappointed to find out how limited that stuff.
