Dan made fart noise after Drew made that joke.
Drew has been trying out a ton of Japanese mobile and handheld stuff this year. He's the one who brought Monster Strike, Terra Battle, Puzzle and Dragons, Etrian Odyssey Untold 2 and Monster Hunter onto the site. It's been awesome.
and yet the pedestrian casualty figures are no higher in the many non-US countries that trust people to engage their own brain in self preservation. You teach kids at an early age to be respectful and wary of traffic. People don't suddenly - baring a few idiots - step in to city traffic just because there is no law against it.
He and Brad listen to the 8-4 podcast. Drew has said as much in the QL. No coincidence that he has picked up this along with Monster Strike, FF Record Keeper, etc.

I think Tomb Raider 1-3 were all great when they first came out, but I'm sure they aged terribly.
They were awful when they came out. Still awful now.
Thanks 8-4 play.

"I love the nub." - Drew Scanlon
Do the 8-4 guys actually play Etrian Odyssey? I know Drew has been checking out most of this stuff because they mentioned it, but I can't remember them ever talking EO. I have no clue how he ended up with that one. Not going to complain.

Yeah it also gave you a clue as to where the enemies actually were if you watched her guns. No, not those guns!

Nah man, once you get the rhythm of how the control works it's a great game. The game itself is built around the tank controls.
I think what I miss most from the original games were the sense of mystery and wonder, when you begin a level you truly have to discover everything by yourself. You could pull a lever near the end of the level that opens a door in the beginning of the level, shit was nuts and everything was off the rails in terms of the puzzles so you have to take everything surrounding the level into consideration so that you don't get lost later on. Also dat atmosphere, since the game was silent it just felt that everything around you could be a danger at any moment.
They also were very varied and had awesome cheat codes.

Dan would get torn apart by a wolf.

Ah, we're having the ol' sound cutting out issue that has been happening for months that they "can't do anything about."
2600 people chatting on UPF (it doesn't break it out as viewers)
375 watching Gamepot Extra Life.
Truly two different audiences. At least their donations are coming in much faster than last year.
Almost every unarmed person would. Difference is that we all know that. I am coming around on the whole jay walking thing. It is needed to protect a nation of Dans from themselves

Audio is just gone.
I think he overestimates his ability to keep going once a wolf gets its teeth into him even once. I also think he underestimates their strength.

Hell yeah he would! I think he's greatly miscalculating how big and strong a wolf is, let alone reflexes and speed. You outsmart a wolf as a human by arming yourself. Going barefisted and taking on a wolf, toe to toe in a test of strength? Crazy talk.

Believe me, I loved them. I just think it would be hard to go back to due to so many modern games making controls ridiculously simple to execute complex maneuvers.

if you had to fight a wolf would you want a bat or a knife
the answer is bat

Even if I give Dan a lot of credit and say he could kill a wolf, he would undoubtedly die shortly thereafter.

It kind of is because I played them recently, didn't finish the games as they are lengthy but I enjoyed my time with them once I got used to the controls. Still love'em.
He also underestimates the speed if he thinks he can outrun a wolf.
Also wolves hunt in packs and tend to avoid man where possible. A wolf is smarter than Dan is basically what I am saying. A wolf could have got a Film Studies Major from KU.
He could certainly choke a wolf to death on his corpse.

Did he actually say he can outrun one this time (catching up on VinnyVania, so not seeing UPF right now)? If so, hahahahah. Oh Dan.
He claimed he would punch the wolf to give it a concussion and then outrun it.
He said he would punch it in the head, give it a concussion and just run away.

Being able to adjust to, and even master, terrible controls doesn't make them not terrible. People speedrun games at GDQ every year that have absolutely awful controls. It doesn't make them good.

His entire offence is based around what he's learned from wrestling.
If you catch one I will chip in $5.
Although, by the time they open the package it will likely not be a live wolf anymore.

Okay, let's get Dan in one of those big padded suits that they use to train attack dogs and have him get attacked by a dog.

To each their own, I played REmaster with the new controls and it just doesn't work. It works if you want to be speedy Gonzales and just be able to skip every zombie at ease. Now, I'm not saying all tank controls are good.
If you ever played Vampire Hunter D on PS1 you'd know in that game it never worked because it obviously wasn't built around the controls and no matter how good you are at gaming you will never be able to master it fully in the way that it would be rewarding in the end. You'll just get frustrated, which isn't the case when I play classic RE or TR. Heck, even RE4/5 had tank controls, most people just don't notice them because you're stuck in 3rd person instead of at an angle.
