I 100% support this. Utena is pure brilliance on every level. It's insane how good it is.
Ah Nice. Yeah I'm happy with my CSPs right now but I know they'll break at some point. Planning to get T3PA (pro or normal) once that happens.

Oh wait, no, I'm talking about nodame.

I don't think they were hiding it at all. Just wasn't making a big deal out of it.
Josei usually isn't all that shy about sex stuff, seeing that it's mostly adults in relationships. Plus women like reading about sex too.

Well to bring this back on topic, didn't someone here make an imgur album of all the gaf Bombcast thread art? Anyone has a link to that?

Awesome. Much appreciated.
Not sure if this has been posted yet, but anyways: video of someone beating Dan's level.

Haven't watched any Metal Gear Scanlon V yet... How is it? With the previous ones people were always so excited on here when a new one was coming out. But it's been almost a month without one and haven't seen many people complaining here... Is it worth watching?
Thanks! Been wanting to watch someone beat it!

Just finished watching the guy finishing Dan's level. That guy found a cheese shortcut that basically skips the entire sub-world. He still only had like 30 seconds left to finish the level but he was able to take it at a pretty leisurely pace and there were only a few tricky platforming parts (90% of that level just seems to about figuring out what to do). At the end of the video he shows what he skipped, I wonder if Dan knows about the skip and if he'll re-upload the course.
Dan said in this very thread it took him 8 hours to beat it so I doubt it.
What a nightmare, but conceptually still interesting. It's kinda Metroid-esque in that you gain abilities to enter different parts of the level.

Good point, plus it seems like real weird and specific skip... But damned if I know how anyone could beat that thing if they did it the intended way. May God have mercy on Patrick.
Oh man, that cheese makes the level far, far easier. I had figured out a way to skip the Bowser room and POW blocks, but this guy managed to skip a lot more.

I hope not, I want to see Patrick losing all hope.
Guess that means Dan has to reupload the level...

Dan wanted to make a puzzle level within the rules that Patrick can't beat. He might have succeeded.
It's not a great level in terms of overall pacing, but there it is. (though there are some neat elements like the trampoline chimney and the "sealed" pipe)
I think the first Giantbomb level is still the best uploaded on the Ryckert account, the way that thing actually came together and provided several routes and surprising additional fuckery by pure accident was a thing to behold.
I'm sure Patrick will eventually get his convenient "flash of inspiration" and figure out what to do
Well, I guess from what people have been saying, even going to edit mode isn't much help, so I don't know.

It really doesn't help. This is the worst level Dan has ever made from a game design perspective, which means it's the best level to torment Patrick.

That Yakuza QL is making me think about getting it. Either way I'm definitely in for Zero, just debating on if I want to go back to the PS3 at this point.
I audibly went "Oh shit!" while laughing when Austin first stabs that guy. I don't know why but I didn't expect it at all and then it was so violent. That was a great moment.

With breakfast? Sure.
In my coffee and my Weet-Bix, yes.

I drink Milk with breakfast if it's something sweet like waffles or pancakes, but if I'm eating something like eggs I'll usually just drink water. I hate Orange Juice.
The cheese is at 7:20
Dan almost certainly didn't intend for anyone to be able to enter that pipe which is actually supposed to be a trap pipe that you can only exit, causing you to lose a lot of time and probably fail at completing the level.
It looks more complicated than it actually is. Most of the level's areas and pipes are gated by specific power-ups, so actually there are a very small number of possible paths available to you at the beginning, and you only gain like one or two new paths for every new power-up. I have a feeling Patrick will beat this, even if he never discovers the exploits.I'm sure Patrick will eventually get his convenient "flash of inspiration" and figure out what to do

Friends, what's that webpage that plays bombcasts/quicklooks randomly on loop? I just finished my 7th graveyard shift in a row and need to fix my sleep schedule for the weekend, so I'm gonna stay up and play video games and listen to the crew till this evening.

But the real test is how long it'll take for him to beat this.
Given enough time and perseverance anyone can beat anything, but the whole point is to take away a tiny bit of patrick's soul every minute.

You're a big guy.
Wow so Heart of Stone (the Witcher DLC) is on its own better than any other game released. Everything with Vlodomir is great. The endless flirtation with any woman he encounters is hilarious.
Witcher 3 GOTY no question shame on GB if it isnt

Don't know about one that plays quick looks, but here are bombcasts 24/7: http://mixlr.com/the-bombcast-rewind/

Yakuza 5 is actually less violent than 3 and 4 were because it removed body damage for performance reasons I assume, it's back in 0. For example, in previous games if you slammed your foot on someone's face it would cave in a bit, nasty.
I would get Yakuza 4 first because 5 doesn't include any previously on videos like previous games and 2 of the protagonists were introduced in the last game and their story beats assume you know their stories.

Is there any kind of time frame on 0? I may end up just waiting for it.

Play the older games before they're hard to go back to because Zero is so much better Assuming of course, I haven't played it yet.

Assuming of course, I haven't played it yet.There is literally zero chance that Witcher 3 will be GB's GOTY.
The question is whether it will make the list or not, and I'm really not sure the answer to that question. We've certainly debated it enough.
