Yeah it's weird that nobody was talking about pee when you went to sleep.

The Witness is already day 1 for me. Now it's day 0. Also, great stream of content coming up!

you must think you're so clever
I'm interested in The Witness, but I don't think I'll grab it right away. I have too much to play. First I have to wrap up Trails of Cold Steel, then I want to play Digimon Cyber Sleuth, and by the time I wrap with that Fire Emblem will be here. I want to get back to Dragon's Dogma PC and grab XCOM 2 at some point, but not sure at all when that'll be.
There's also poor Xenoblade X. I will get in there again someday.

I feel like I missed out on the birth of a new meme.
I beat it and am replaying it because I'm an impatient bastard that can't wait for CS2. Cold Steel is sooooo good.

I'm a ways into Chapter 2 at this point and it's just starting to really click for me. I love the exploration of Erebonia and the political structure of that empire. The pacing is a bit slow, but the characters are fun. Some of them are a bit school anime trope-y, but I trust the Kiseki people to flesh them out. Hopefully that happens sooner than later.
It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize how much they changed the Orbment system. I was trying to make lines and was super confused when new abilities weren't showing up on my characters menu. I didn't realize that arts are their own special quartz now. That's an interesting change, and cool for usability, but it definitely hurts a bit of the way the Orbment lines would make each character feel unique. I actually still am not sure what lines do anymore. I should read the tutorial again.
The master quartz idea is great.

I really don't have much of a clue what the lines are for anymore in the quartz section, but I think they're a good replacement for the orbment system as there are significantly more quartz in this game than in Sky, so you can basically class each character to be proficient with a certain kind of quartz as there's far too many to make everyone feel similar (unless you're giving them all the same kind of quartz, which is dumb).
As for the story, man it goes places. As an introduction game, the ambition of the story and cast in CS1 is off the charts compared to Sky FC. The pacing is arguably slower than FC's is, but the always amazing thing about Trails is that every new chapter is better than the last, and that holds up here more than ever. I won't go into more detail about story/character stuff since you're super early on and this isn't the place for it anyway.
And yeah, Master Quartz is a really cool idea.
So even with one podcast recording early in the week and one recording in the latter half of the week, Giantbomb.com is still out of the loop when it comes to the most important stories in the industry. We need a third weekly podcast so we don't miss out on a single piss of gaming information.

This is starting to get ri-pee-culous.
I go to sleep and WrassleGAF somehow manages to get their thread closed. Now I have only you guys left.
This is pretty great. Shocking how well that picture worked. Is Jeff hiding something from us?
That's the absolute worst. You're the worst.

It doesn't have the same effect when listening to the raw file. Needs some confetti.

I was always more partial to the turkey thing from the Thanksgiving sales myself. But that one is really good.

Seriously, got into work and figured I'd see what happened in the thread and I'm greeted with discussion about a bottle of piss.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Blow and his peers were always a strange bunch though.

"Not gonna lie" I kind of like Matchstick Men. It was one of those movies that was on HBO or something a lot and it ended up being something I could watch every time I saw it on.

Is Paul going to be on UPF tonight?
I also liked it, though I haven't seen it since it was in theaters. Our english teacher took us out of school to see it for some reason.

It's one of those movies where the acting may not be the best and the story is kind of convoluted, but it really seemed like the actors dug what they were doing and there was great chemistry. Nic Cage as Rain Man lite is just good fun.

goddamnit warren
Probably not. Someone mentioned in this thread that Dan said he wasn't gonna be there. Is there some wrestling bullshit going on today?
Dan's being flown in as wrestling's special representative for a meeting with EviLore, where he will plead for the wrestlingGAF thread to be reinstated.
Paul, of course, has called in bomb threats against the flight.

That's a shame. If it is for wrestling, well, I didn't actually think I could dislike it more than I already do.

Not gonna lie, any time I see the name Warren, I sing "The Warren" in my head like "The Warrant" from Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego

But you're getting a QL extravaganza with Paul tho, that's pretty much a UPF.
