yeah, Croc is alright
I'm not swooning over it like some of you are with Tales from the Borderlands (which is also "alright")

What cyberpunk/noir scifi have you read? If you are at all interested in the genre it's worth it just from a 'well this is where it all started perspective'. If you are looking for lots of cool stuff happening in the matrix (since you were prompted by Rez), there's not actually a ton of action that happens there (from what I remember from about 5 years ago). It's more of a pulpy inscrutable noir story, with the crazy cyberpunk twists that make it famous. It ages as well as your willing to buy into that type of story, I can totally see it being a real rough read if you don't want to go for a trip.

So what's the best album to start on with these Chvrches folks?
i have more experience with croc 2, personally. but yeah, not saying it's a masterpiece or anything - just a 3d platformer to feel relatively good about, and i have some personal affection for it top of that
all their stuff sounds the same to me but shh
Both albums are good but IMO the first one is a bit better. I REALLY love some of the songs (Gun, Nightsky and Science/Vision are my favorites).

I was randomly thinking about different E3 press conferences the gang might go back and talk over and I almost forgot the E3 where Sony spent a lot of time on Wonderbook and how it would change how kids play with video games. I think this was before Skylanders and I'm pretty sure the demo ended up being a complete mess... Weird how I never heard about that thing after that E3... Looking at Wikipedia they only put out 4 games for it. Can't remember what they gang said about it at the time though.

Cool, I didn't realize they'd only had 2 albums.
I'll be the judge of that!
I remember feeling bad for that lady doing the stage demo, but she stayed calm and worked through it. True professional Wonderbookswoman.
Croc was amazing for someone who's parents didn't want to buy a console.
I only had a PC when I was a kid and seeing Croc made me want to write a letter to its makers to port the game on PC (I was ~10 at the time).
You can imagine how surprised and hyped I got when it was actually released on PC a while later. I remember making my parents buy me a PC gamepad for it.
As far as I remember Croc 2 was much better, mainly control-wise, but I didn't spend much time with it.

My brain never put together they were talking about that silly thing in this clip!!! Thanks!
It kinda suck to have to re-do that first 1.5h of TftB but MAN that intro is nice (the whole credits with music and late title card)... Those scenes are always great in the Borderlands series and this one doesn't dissapoint.
Also, as much as I enjoy this game it kinda makes me want to play an actually Borderlands game again.

I just had a sudden realization that Broken Age "came out" this year. Think it will be uttered even once during the GOTY podcasts, in any context? I'd still really like to finish it. I never even completed part 1.
Top 10 Giant Bomb moment.

just made my second gb wiki edit ever, added xcx to the late title card page (it's a pretty good late title card)
first one was adding kirby and the rainbow curse to the kirby series page
they really dug part 1 but i really don't remember much discussion on part 2. doubt it's gonna get more than a mention

Why are you playing it again? Broken save or something?
Paid 15$ for it on Steam last week. Played the first 1.5h with weird controller issues (the game is kidna fucked when playing with a wireless XB1 controller).
Bought it today on PS4 for 3.75$ and got the 14$ refund on Steam. So not only did I save a lot of money but I also got a version without the controller issues. Now I just need to catch back up to where I was.
Jumbled input prompts, apparently. The classic telltale quality. To fix it, IIRC, you only had to run the game as administrator.
Oh...lol... Oh well... Anyway too late lol. I still saved the money so that's great.
Not the end of the world to redo the first part since I can pick different dialogue choices. Just too bad you can't skip any cutscenes.

Listening to the bombcast, it seems the crews pretty down on Just Cause 3
Yeah, hah, you still come out ahead for sure.

All I remember is a spoiler being dropped out of nowhere on the Bombcast, although I don't even recall what it was now. Would they consider it for most disappointing game? I guess they didn't have big expectations, so probably not.
Oh, I didn't know it had this problem. At least you didn't go further in the game!
(you guys really are having me itching to buy this game)

i also forgot how much i loved those games.

Now it's a pity party contest of who gets number 10, Witcher, Just Cause, or Fallout

Croc's cool because it's a decent game that scratches my "3D platformers with a linear structure" itch, which doesn't really happen too often.
I remember Vinny seeming pretty disappointed in it. It might get brought up, but I doubt it wins or is a runner up for anything

Broken age act 1 is terrific
Act 2 is not so hot. It reuses a ton of environments from the first act and has some fucked up stupid ass puzzles in it that quickly remind you of why adventure games died off in the late 90s.
So when you get to act 2 just set those expectations real low and you'll be alright.

Huh, I just noticed Austin likes to end his articles with "but what do you think" kind of paragraphs quite often. I don't know how I feel about that.
Super Mario 3D World, man.

if we're talking verbal tics, austin's "do you know what i mean" on his RPG podcast really stands out in my brain. But that's what happens when you listen to like 20 or 25 episodes in a month or so
I'll get on this sinking ship with you. TftB is a fun romp, but it is nowhere near top ten GOTY material for me, not even close. People in here seem to be flipping out over this game. It's fine.
This is entirely off-topic, but apart from my searching through the steam and gog forums for the game I'm not sure where else to ask: Anyone find the Director's Cut of Wasteland 2 on PC a whole lot less stable? Crashing on boot up, crashing on loading, freezes after any command or camera shift in-game, the whole thing feels like a mess.

Haven't listened to the Bombcast yet, but when I'm playing JC3 I almost always have a Twitch stream or a podcast going as well... Game doesn't hold my attention enough on it's own, but is still enjoyable.
I feel like I've done this for a LOT of games this year, and it's kind of worrying.
