Oh yeah. That's a slight variation you hear out here in the Midwest sometimes. It's wrong, but you hear it fairly often. The correct way is still way more popular.

That Quiet / knife in a dudes mouth scene is not cool.
it's quite boring for me and my metal gear hype dropping rapidly after finishing it probably doesn't help with that.

I have done my duty:
ahahah YES
Regarding MGScanlon 5, I just started treating it kinda like another podcast, because I wasn't having much fun with it. I just put the video on the background and listen to their banter, which is still funny most of the time. When they eventually say something like "woah that was pretty cool" i'll look at the video.
The gameplay itself is annoying. Every mission is basically Drew trying to be stealthy while running everywhere and fultoning guys 10 feet away from other soldiers, which always ends up in an alert and having to kill everyone.
It's fine when you're starting out, but not 17 episodes in. Dan's terrible advice (Riot SMG, ugh) doesn't help either.

it's probably chalked up to the lack of story beats. those were always the best parts. seeing Drew react to the non-sensical overly wrought lore from Kojima was the highlight.

Yeah, the lack of story stuff definitely hurts the format.

I also really enjoyed Drew's struggles and triumphs over the obtuse ass game design. It was always fun to see him tackle the bosses. MGSV pretty much has nothing going for it.
yeah, great point. the lack of innovative and interesting boss fights is a sore spot there too.

rewatching GI Super Replays after getting to know Jason more (and Dan's relationship with him) adds a new level of entertainment
I wish somebody would inform the Bombduders that as long as you play MGS V offline everything is exactly as it was when the game launched.
It's when you go online and start building FOB's the online taxes and other crap shows up.
As long as you hit decline on the login screen at the startup or just go offline from the menus everything is entirely as it was at launch.

Relevant enough for Alex Navarro of Giantbomb.com to mention her. Who else of us is that lucky?

I tend to find dessert pies disgusting really. Then again I'm more about savory than sweet.
Best playing Metal Gear game, worst everything else.

aussie meat pies are incredible, I can't say I really blame you there
only at 4am when you just can't find the right video on pornhub.

Like the regular stuff? They're ok. Kind of my guilty pleasure really.
Steak and kidney pies are the bomb though.
Eh, not my type. She just looks... weird.
This is great, I hope Dan and Drew create another regular feature once MGSV is complete.

she looks like a weird robot or something, I can't explain it.
Yep. Perhaps one where they have a collection of older games, say PS1-PS2 era and give them each a short play for 10 minutes, covering a whole bunch in one video. They can have Jeff there to impart his knowledge too.
That sounds like a great idea. I wonder why they haven't done this yet.
Really dont want anymore old games coverage from them. Already enough as it is. Between UPF, Demo Derby and Old Games Show they have enough time to play older games.

But the idea of short demonstrations of ps1 and ps2 games seems like a pretty solid idea.
What is this "Demo Derby" you speak of?

Demo Derby is great, but that's a 3 person feature. Given all the other shit Jeff has to do, I'm not surprised we don't see it more often.
Dan and Drew just playing through entire games together is easy. They can bang them out regularly and can be done without someone in the control room if needed. Don't have to be overly long games either, to avoid ER-like commitments. Hopefully they've got some ideas for 2016.
Sure is. She has all the hottest takes on politics.
Like how Hitler was really a misunderstood good guy.
Trump 2016.

Not a bad idea
Time for jeff to leave giantbomb, become a youtuber/patreon-er and focus on daily old games streaming.
