I actually beat that fight without Kevin. My party was Estelle, Josh, Kloe and Olivier. I was running with my best characters and I refused to change even though I knew Kevin would be a godsend. It was rough.

Valis will forever remain one of the saddest downfalls of any gaming franchise.
(Incidentally, it's almost been a year since the Telenet/Valis episode of Retronauts)
That idea (The Shadowrun Returns trilogy is already pretty close in concept to a GitS strategy game; just replace the magic with hacking/robot powers and add some stealth. Invisible Inc. would be another close point of comparison, since it's already focused on espionage and hacking), a Mark of the Ninja/Gunpoint/Ronin-style Stealth Action game, or a modern adventure game. Any one of those would be a fitting genre for a GitS game (Oh, and a Deus Ex-esque game, of course, as mentioned earlier).
What he got her...
Haha.
Kerbals are basically Franken-minions.
I'm surprised that the GBEast crew likes Kerbals as much as they do despite them being so similar to Minions.

New Star Wars made me feel like a kid again, plot played it safe but they really nailed the characters which is IMO the most important part and the prequels' biggest failing. Now I want to play KOTOR again. Now tell Brad to do that TIE Fighter Bombcastica!!!
i set up that rpg thread over in OT Community if ya'll want to take a look; talk about it should be confined there so GBGaf doesn't veer off into insanity even more than usual.
Back to your regularly scheduled programming.

When are you starting?
I have a holiday break coming up so I might join in.

maybe new years? really, it depends on when character sheets come in.
people are always welcome to toss around worldbuilding concepts though
Making a thread like that in community is a death sentence

Is it? You see similar sorts of forum games based on mafia going on now.
I want to say mafia started in regular OT though. People don't regularly scan through community threads (imo)
I mean, I'm not really recruiting, so it seemed a waste to put it in OT.
If anyone has yet to make their contribution to the GB Extra Life team, duders Matt Pascual ( www.giantbomb.com/chat ) and Crispy ( http://www.twitch.tv/crispylovesyou ) are streaming now.
yeah. Frustrating knowing they have several more episodes in the can already, and yet we just had a whole week with basically no content.
By the time we get the rest we'll be drowning in content again.

Holy shit this superman game.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhHHHHHhh.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhHHHHHhh.
It makes a lot more sense when you're playing it. Having him snap around with the super vision is very distracting if you don't know what's going on.

Yeah I thought I knew what brutality meant beforehand.
I don't get what's wrong with sonic's character model, looks fine to me.
Has this been posted? Giant Bomb: The worst feeling in the world
new to me.
Compare the first two sprites to the third one. Jeff is 100% right, although I don't agree with him dismissing the whole game because of it. Sonic 2 is my favorite, but 3+K is really good as well.

Jeff shitting on bubsy was great
should have played bubsy 3d to complete the shitfecta (iirc there are four games but still)

The problems with the first 2 Bubsy games were sort of a reflection of the games industry at the time. The biggest issue with the game was that Bubsy's sprite was designed to animate more like a cartoon than a game character, with its limbs flailing all over the place. This led to the sprite being difficult to read from a gameplay standpoint.
This desire to make games that looked less like games and more like something else was a common issue which really continues to this day, and has been fucking up games for 20+ years.

I need an Austin Plays Yakuza series. Or at least Yakuza 4.

Between this and LackingSaint's great Knife vs. Bat recreation the other day I gotta say I would hate it if there was a glut of people animating Bombcast and Beastcast segments on YouTube.
No I wouldn't it's the best holy shit do it everybody.

right? instead I'm watching Man in the High Castle and it's kind of doing the job but it's sub-optimal

Earthworm Jim had the same issue. if it had just controlled a bit (lot) better it would have been such a great game. but instead it was "look how many frames of animation we have" and collision - sprite collision - was completely busted
True, thought that was kind of an outlier at the time. Games really started to get bad with that stuff in the 90s, and haven't really stopped since.

Got a code for Yakuza 5 from Gio Corsi on Twitter this Friday, it's installing now. I loved 1 and 2 on PS2 but for whatever reason 3 just bored me to tears. Kind of excited to jump back into the series, though.
I was watching a stream of the Republican debate a few days back and fired up FaceRig for kicks.

Please tell me someone's doing anime FaceRig versions of Giant Bomb videos.
Sounds like the start of a Creepypasta.
Just caught the end of Crispy's stream...good lord. 21 games of Dota in 24 hours. And he didn't even sound ready to murder all of humanity yet.

Cue Jason: "Goddammit, Dan."
I'm taking this opportunity to check out Giant Bomb Unarchived. There's a SHITTON in there from the Whiskey days I hadn't even heard of.
