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.

Croc 2 from what I remember was a great platformer, especially for a new IP. Gotta love how everyone talks in that game.

This thread is too twee for me.

this polish msx piracy talk is blowing my goddamn mind

 

[danm999]

Listening to the bombcast, it seems the crews pretty down on Just Cause 3

It and Fallout 4 went down very tepidly. Some bottom of the list contenders.

'Over and over from people'

Brad just threw Tales from the Borderlands into the Witcher pile. It's cooked.

this polish msx piracy talk is blowing my goddamn mind

From a paper titled Computing behind the Iron Curtain: Social Impact of Home Computers in the Polish People’s Republic.

At the end it is also worth mentioning unique collaboration of Bajtek” and
radio station run by Polish Scout Association (Związek Harcerstwa Polskiego).
During the late 1980s this FM radio was simply broadcasting programs. It was
possible to record such program on audiocassette used as mass memory storage
and load it into computer. Contrary to information given by Elfimov (2008) these were
only simple programs in BASIC, not freshly imported Western pirate computer
games.

That said, I've also read a lot about scouts broadcasting games through their radio station (I'm Polish), so I don't know whom to believe anymore.

Will Danny be playing this?

 

[daydream]

Will Danny be playing this?

ah, that's coming out soon, nice

no idea if danny will be playing it. i will be, though

 

[Anjin M]

I've been sparrow racing all day listening to old bombcasts.

It is sooooo good.

Don't worry he'll play it next year and remark about how much he liked it ala GTA5

 

[AcridMeat]

So what's the best album to start on with these Chvrches folks?

Listen to Tamaryn and Class Actress instead. :3

We should start asking Brad to play Dota and Destiny.

But its only like a 10th of the length ;_;

 

[justjim89]

You don't seem to understand the terrible weight it puts on one's shoulders to be asked to play the year's best video games.

Never forget when Brad was gonna play the Witcher, but someone had a checkpoint in a Destiny raid.

That Twitter exchange is brutal. And from Dan's role model no less.

Shoemaker kiss of death!

Though I suppose it wouldn't matter since GOTY was already conducted.

 

[dogpowerd]

Is it worth playing Tales from the Borderlands if the writing,voice acting and characters in Borderlands 1 made me want to drown myself in a toilet?

 

[The Dear Leader]

Is it worth playing Tales from the Borderlands if the writing,voice acting and characters in Borderlands 1 made me want to drown myself in a toilet?

Sure.

 

[jaina]

Is it worth playing Tales from the Borderlands if the writing,voice acting and characters in Borderlands 1 made me want to drown myself in a toilet?

yes, that seems to be the GB GAF consensus. Even if you actively dislike Borderlands writing by now, Telltale has written better comedy and characters in that universe than the mainline titles ever did.

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 like Austin a whole bunch, too.

 

[skLaFarebear]

It'll make you like TftB even more tbh

 

[danm999]

Verbal ticks huh? I find myself describing things as certified bangers a lot recently and I blame Jeff.

 

[LurkerPrime]

If this year was long, Xenoblade Chronicles X would be the next Witcher 3/Tales From the Borderlands. Mark my words.

Is it worth playing Tales from the Borderlands if the writing,voice acting and characters in Borderlands 1 made me want to drown myself in a toilet?

Absolutely. TellTale's writing staff is on fire all the way through, Borderlands lore be damned redeemed.

 

[demidar]

Borderlands 3 gonna be even more meme-tastic.

 

[Data West]

If this year was long, Xenoblade Chronicles X would be the next Witcher 3/Tales From the Borderlands. Mark my words.

Xenoblade and Yakuza 5 will just have to be on my GOTY for next year. There's just not enough time in the day.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Borderlands 3 gonna be even more meme-tastic.

If Fiona and Rhys are playable I won't even care.

TellTale got me good.

Xenoblade and Yakuza 5 will just have to be on my GOTY for next year. There's just not enough time in the day.

Dunno about Y5, but for XBCX it's definitely understandable. What a gigantic game.

Austin's comments about the movement in its QL were spot on. The jumping, moving, and sprinting feels so right. (on foot, at least... no Skell yet.)

 

[tuxfool]

I'm done with telltale until they use a proper engine. Producing games in an assembly line doesn't excuse one from updating their technology.

 

[demidar]

If Fiona and Rhys are playable I won't even care.

TellTale got me good.

They'll probably be killed off-screen in an audio log, like they did in BL2.

 

[Jamie OD]

Very little of it is meme humour.

 

[Antiwhippy]

BTW, what is this referencing?

 

[jgminto]

The Matrix.

 

[Twin Tails]

Great story from Bombcast on KGB agent.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Antiwhippy is making me feel old

 

[funkystudent]

Jeff WENT IN on Rainbow Six during the beast cast.


Also after the beta I havent heard anyone talk about that game.

 

[Antiwhippy]

The Matrix.

Oh.

Guess I watched it at a young enough age that I can't remember anything from it.

 

[jgminto]

Wow, I didn't think you actually meant the Matrix part...

 

[jambo]

Oh.

Guess I watched it at a young enough age that I can't remember anything from it.

What do you mean young?

It only came out...

16 years ago.

...

Fuck.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Wait, which reference did you think I was having trouble with?

 

[jgminto]

Wait, which reference did you think I was having trouble with?

What Jeff was doing.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Ah. Nah, I knew where the jeff pic came from, it's just that it seemed to have gotten a pretty good reaction but I didn't recognise what it's referencing.

 

[repeater]

Antiwhippy is making me feel old

Same here. Though it does warm the hardened heart of an old man to know that the kids these days have forgotten all about that overrated piece of mediocrity.

It is fucking great. Jeff is way off on it. I wouldn't expect him to like it, but his attitude towards it was baffling.

Today you learned a lesson, never do math.

I was 18....... :/

 

[danm999]

I was 10.

I remember everything.

I know karate, green pill and orange pill, etc.

What's sexy to you?
