I think that's exactly what he should do. Patrick has nothing to prove. Even if he loses, he still has Dan beat 2-1. There's no rubber match when it's 2-1.

Will unsub from Patrick if he does this.

That would be the ultimate win for Patrick I think.
And I would sub on two accounts just to see it happen, follow the money Patrick.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I want Patrick to make a level for Dan. Dan's all like "Oh, I'm so good a Mario har-di-har" yet everytime I've seen him play a MM level he sucked at it.
That's right Dan, Patrick is a better Mario player than you now. You got lazy and overconfident and he lapsed you. And you have created him.

To be fair patrick has like a gazillion hours to play what people throw at him and dan most of the time have a pretty strict time limit.

But then how will you use those sweet subscriber-exclusive emoticons in the Twitch chat?
On a related note, what is the legality of Patrick monetizing Dan's face?

Recap was nice addition since I didn't watch last Kerbal.

you need to watch the episode for quality floor sweeping mechanics
That's a pretty good point actually. I played huge parts of it like that, too, and it's more about your voice chat and maybe some tactics than whatever NPCs tell you. Often you're not even the one talking to them.
Is Vinny Kerbal's Soviet Union?
Hey... psst.
Reality here. You guys are dreaming of replacing the writing in Borderlands 2 with Tales of.
Unfortunately, Borderlands 2 has sold millions and millions and millions of copies. Many, many more than Tales of.
There's every indication that the widespread criticism of Borderlands 2's writing on GAF is actually just the vocal minority.
Borderlands 3 will likely be very similar tone-wise to Borderlands 2.
It's just kind of the way things are going to go.
Now, for the record, I didn't necessarily love the writing in Borderlands 2. There were a few parts that made me laugh and there were several parts that made me groan. I never felt attached to the characters, but I also don't feel the visceral hatred that others feel for it.
I am, however, hopefully looking forward to Borderlands 3 because I like that gameplay. They need to advance it, because I burned out of the Pre-sequel about halfway through, so I can't just take Borderlands 2 rehashed.
As for the Tiny Tina stuff, both the Burches are at RocketJump now so I can see them de-emphasizing or omitting her.

my hope for BL3 would be the ability to turn off cutscenes and unnecessary dialogue on subsequent playthroughs. would certainly make the prospect of replaying the game less uncomfortable
It's the Fallout 4 situation. As much as I wish the role playing and story was better in those games that series is on a trajectory where my increasing disappointment is matched by its increasing sales.
Either most people who buy those games have different tastes to me or simply don't care about those elements.

The actually real problem with BL2 is that the loot isn't very good.
I would be excited for BL3 if they promise to remove every one of those stupid guns with the bouncy exploding shots.

The fact that Burch co-wrote the last 3 episodes of Tales from the Borderlands makes me hopeful that the writing in BL3 will be a tiny bit better at least.
Just be happy that the indie scene has picked up the torch for some of the more hardcore stuff to fill that void.
It's especially nice that indie games at this point have risen to the level of the old B-tier. I think the Beastcast talked about it a couple weeks ago and I realized that it was true, and it's nice.

lol at Vinny accelerating into the descent at 14:30 or so
oops
e: hahah oh god, he's actually making the design worse, I love this series

He left Gearbox and went to RocketJump. Would Gearbox bring him back to help write BL3?

Things have been too busy this semester but I have managed to keep my self updated with the content over the past few weeks.

So what do you think Jeffs reaction to the TEKKEN 7 reveal was? Please post in Gif form.
He wrote about it: http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/street-fighters-akuma-to-appear-in-tekken-7-update/1100-5313/
Unlike him I am sure this will be the whole extent of the Tekken X Street Fighter thing.

They should do something like the Adventure Mode from Diablo 3. Having to replay the story (even just the area progression without cutscenes/dialogue) is such a bummer.
The problem is that Adventure Mode's heart is the procedurally generated areas. Borderlands doesn't do procedurally generated stuff.
However, they really should.

I forgot he'd left, Telltale brought him back so he could certainly return for BL3, though I cant say that I'm exactly interested in him doing so.
I guess the question at this point is who does Gearbox get to write BL3, at least that means I can continue my hopes for the Tales writers at least co writing it.

I am not really a street fighter guy but the new Tekken Trailer and the reveal is bad fucking ass.
But if I was Mr Tekken I would have put a Street Fighter character in the game and not told anyone and have it as a super end game unlock like the weird unlocks during the PS1 era. I guess that doesnt happen much these days.

Lol this Project Beast Pt. 2 intro and outro is on some next level shit, Vinny is in a league of his own when it comes to building up hype for videos.
Yup. I think I loaded up the Pre-sequel with my Borderlands friends maybe once? Nothing felt new.
Borderlands 3 really needs to embrace it's modern day diablo-ness. Entire paper doll loot slots, procedual map generation, ladders, the lot.

Dave Lang nailed it on the podcast. They try to go for something that nobody else really does (not as true as it was in the past anymore) and they're willing to overlook all that buggy garbage that comes with it. And it works, people want it that way. I'm all for it, too, honestly. Try to make something special, polish is overrated in some cases.
There was a really good article against polish in indie games, but I can't find it. The existence of Poland ruins my google results.
Edit: What a timely thread: http://m.neogaf.com/showthread.php?t=1156361
i wish i could say 'oh blerg fallout doesn't offer nuthin special' but the truth is that sense of exploration you get in bethesda games is kinda unmatched even as when you actually get to a place you discover that the journey it turned out was way fucking better than actually doing anything anywhere.

woah woah woah woah
Dan hasn't officially submitted yet, has it? Patrick is playing Jeff's unpleasant offspring right now.
Edit: Patrick got to the chain chomp spin jumps in Jeff's Doubleheader, not the check point yet.

Does Kerbal have support for multiple monitors so you can have the ship view on one monitor and maneuvering on another one etc.?
Yeah they should, but I think just having randomized enemies (including minibosses) would do a lot. Anything's better than the same static progression.
