I was on that train for a bit but I do think ultimately MGSV might cinch it. Guarantee it gets #2 though

Every year I've listened and watched the Goty stuff in a regimented fashion. All of the day's podcast before any of the video.
Not this year on day five. I have to know. I have to know.

Also, I wonder what they did for the video stuff with there being no studio. Granted, a lot of the time the videos are 'home made' anyway.

Rocket League is going to be the dark horse top 5(maybe getting as high as 3) of this year, I can feel it.

i hope people are still tweeting him about being a guest on idle thumbs
I enjoyed these as somebody who played/plays WoW. The only annoying thing about them was how wrong most of Rorie's information was.
I enjoyed keeping track of Dan's character using WoW's website as well, but that stopped working at some point. I think Dan may have deleted his character lol.
Checked this thread out specifically for info on this. Thanks.
Now I'm kinda sad, because neither GB or GT are covering PSX.

Shadow Complex being free on PC means it's a good time to go watch Brad's impressive replication QL for the game

It wouldn't be Rorie if he wasn't saying something completely wrong.

You're not able to view the character once someone's subscription lapses. After Dan's free trial his character would be unavailable to view.
Can you give an example?
He was just doing his job as agent of chaos.

I wanna hear Austins take on the whole VA controversy. I respect his opinion on matters like these.

Saving the Beastcast for tomorrow, seems like they tore R6 a new asshole which is a shame because once you really dive into it with buddies, there's nothing like it. Played for 4 hours straight yesterday.
The what now?

Jeff reacting to last night after watching trailers!!
What controversy?
It was GAF who made it a controversy.
Someone should make a thread about it.
Yeah, just listened to it. Jeff and Austin's take it on was pretty disheartening. I want to say it may have been a bit unfair even, but I'm kind of enamored with the game right now so my opinion isn't really objective.
The general gist of it was that they said it was more of the same from when they showed the game from a year ago, and the core gameplay is prone to become boring after you figure out the "proper" tactics for each map to easily attack or defend the objective.
I just can't see that last part being true unless you play this game all day every day with a dedicated group of the same 5 players. There are just so many different ways to tackle each map, with so many different variables from the operators to player's play style itself, it's going to be a long time before I see the game becoming stale in the way they talked about it.
About Rorie being wrong? It was mostly game mechanics stuff, it has been awhile so I don't remember specifics.
Basically it would go like this:
Dan: Hey Rorie is there any way to do X?
Rorie: Hmmm, no, Dan, no way to do X, I remember that being annoying.
Reality: It is possible to do X in several different ways and has been for years.
Didn't happen a ton, but a lot of what Rorie said about WoW mechanics was incorrect, even for the time he was playing.
I assume it has been a long time since he played, so it is understandable, just frustrating that he is explaining things incorrectly to a newcomer.
I love the Bomb crew, but I really wouldn't take their opinions on online MP shooters with much validity. They rarely put that much time into any of them, and almost every crew member has at one point voiced ambivalence of online multiplayer games.

i get the impression no one except for brad and maybe austin plays games online with friends, so i kinda take their (jeff especially) opinions about multiplayer online games with a grain of salt
Which makes Jeff's "Mario Maker creation is fun without an audience, just play it with your friends!" defense a bit more baffling given his utter disregard for other games which require active friends to be enjoyable.

I played 6 out of the 11 maps and it's impossible to figure out the proper tactics in a map because they are made to be penetrated from many places depending on the character the other team chooses and since you'd never see what they choose, you'll never know what to expect. All I know is shit gets tense when you see mirrors, walls and ceilings getting blown up all in 5-10 seconds then you see dudes dropping in from every hole lol. The sound design is fucking fantastic.
As I said, you'd need to really dive in with a few friends to see how much this game shines. I mean I don't mind that they hate the game. It might well be not their thing since it is very dependent on team work and being real slow as well as methodical but hopefully if they ever give it a chance again they'd enjoy it, if not, I still enjoyed hearing their thoughts on it even if it was negative. Drew will be the dude that will really enjoy it.
Both but with friends you could plan alot and discuss what characters you guys would choose so you could complement each other with the skills that each character has. Basically, you'd be having better coordination and lets say better control on some of the spots on the map but even then you can't expect really what's coming when you don't know what characters the other players chose.
Here's some sweet ass gameplay from a user in the OT.
I guess Rorie is the only one still playing WoW. I'm not sure when Brad stopped, or Jeff for that matter.
I think both of them stopped before the beta ended for vanilla WoW. At least one of them did, they've talked about how the office was playing that game leading up to release and somebody was sleeping in the office to play longer.
That's funny, because as someone who doesn't play online games with friends, I always weigh Jeff's views of them pretty heavily.

Sweet. Filming will happen.
Shit, they stopped that early? I guess if they both went back today they would be pretty shocked, shit has changed since then.

i think the answer to every question in this thread is shadow of the colossus but hell if I know
Shadow of the Colossus is one of my favorite games of all time, but the framerate on the PS2 version is atrocious

The first question is probably SotC, though I've never played it myself.
Asking me to choose what the best PS2 game is impossible though. I have like 6 different answers ._.

As mentioned, SotC, and MGS3 also had a a horrendous framerate. I don't remember what else, SotC was absolutely dire though. Dips to like 14fps or something.
In the later Q I'm talking about games that came out on PS2 and PS3 at the same time.
Gonna echo this. Pretty sure it drops to single digits at points.

This site is creating a lot of those lately.
