There are many things you could know, but the only thing you should know is the ending of Borderlands 2 involving Handsome Jack. It's very accessible.

Yeah, there's some nods/cameos to characters in other Borderlands games but nothing that would leave you hanging to what is going on in the game. You should be fine.
Absolutely. It's not even a close call. The Wolf Among Us was my previous favorite, and that looks like amateur hour compared to TftB.
wow, the hype is real

Great, thanks everyone. I'll definitely start it this week once I wrap up Hard West (which is worth checking out if you're desperate for an SPRG fix to hold you over until XCOM 2). I loved Wolf Among Us but the first episode of Game of Thrones (which was free) didn't do much for me at all.
Borderlands is the first Telltale game (Post their switch to TWD style of adventure games) to retain a high degree of quality throughout. TWD goes to absolute shit near the end besides a couple good moments and The Wolf Among Us has a pretty bland mid section, even if it doesn't get TWD bad. Everything I've heard about Game of Thrones makes that sound like a shitshow.

Tales from the Borderlands for 3.75 on PSN was too good to pass up, and you can count me in as a huge advocate for the game. Only an hour or so in, but I'm really enjoying it so far.
And guys, I don't know if I like Patrick's chances with Dan's newest monstrosity. After several earnest attempts I just spent a few minutes in the editor and like... I'm looking at the entire level right in front of me, and it's only baffling me even more. The fact that two people have beaten it seems like a mistake. Absolute chaosgarbage in its purest form.

That's not wrong, that's art.Man you guys, I just spent over a month drawing Patrick Klepek's facial hair incorrectly...

I got episode one because it was free on PSN and it is every bit as good as everyone says. I cant believe how good the pacing to that story was.
I had to pick up the season pass for 3.75 also. It feels like stealing.

Seconded. That show is so good! I haven't seen the Season 2 finale yet, gah.
Yeah, the finale aired on Monday night US time. Good move waiting to binge watch though, because waiting a week between episodes is excruciating.

this will become the "Primus sucks" of television shows
since food is often discussed, i thought you guys might be interested in seeing this thread

"Primus sucks" is pretty much the band's catchphrase used amongst fans, and "okay then" sounds like you're blowing the show off in the context Stratosphere used it
there, it's funny now, right
Ahhh, so you're the goofy looking fella down by the lake?

Y'know I think les claypool had way better music material outside of primus.
while we're plugging stuff
ping pong: the anomation is peak anime in the most wonderful sense. lyrical, dense, unique, complex. it's quite incredible
The only winning move is not to play. I hope Patrick has the balls to just say "I've won this bet several times over, I'm fine".
Yeah, he might like Youtube too much to pass by now.

yeah, I don't think Patrick should refuse to do this
it'd be dumb to tap out before you actually make any money off of this nonsense, and after all of this posturing and "I ain't no fucking baby" he'd look like king baby
would it be kind of funny if he blew it off? sure, but so would a lot of the content produced by him taking this shitshow on
it's actually clever to the point that I'd be surprised if it was actually made by people at Mercedes-Benz as they claim it is

The Mercedes Benz advertising stage in Mario Maker is hilarious, the car's animation for going down the pole is dope though.
Spitting hot fire but unable follow it up is for big dum-dums.

I messed around in Dan's level for about 5 minutes and was like nah

Guys, Patrick is the baby face. He needs to take on the heel. It's the universal decree.
Nobody with a goatee can be a babyface.
it's a baby goatee
I was half way through a post talking about Austin and Hogans babyface run before I realized your were joking. My definition of the babyface has been ruined by carnies and I'm super not ok about it.

LiS ending:
I'm still not sure whether people in the town survived. I think yes, which makes my Chloe ending "happy"
LiS ending:I'm still not sure whether people in the town survived. I think yes, which makes my Chloe ending "happy"
I think they definitely pretty much all die. It isn't like they stop by to say hi to Joyce on their way out of town. I do hate how these choice games always boil down to a simple binary choice at the end, but i'm too used to it by now to complain

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Didn't care about any of those suckers and Cloe clearly didn't care about her mum dying. Also the developers tried really hard to make me choose the good ending, so I chose the other one. You can tell by the quality of the endings which one they consider "the right one" but fuck that.
They ran out of time/budget, as stated by one of the developers after episode 5.
But
I fully disagree that Chloe doesn't care about her mother dying in that ending. She would care a lot, even if it was a delayed reaction that eventually lead her to blame Max for her problems and the death of her mom, and cut contact with her.

Guess they're just in full Blizzard emulation mode.

You're a big guy.
In LiS' case I can forgive it.
Although the choice at the end is binary, it is about the collection of experiences you've had up until then. It is about the time shifting mechanic because without it there would be no choice as you wouldn't have reconnected with Chloe. The story is about getting that chance to bond with Chloe and imo the final choice is logical to that end. HOWEVER the save Chloe ending is obviously rushed.
