That's not true, the Toolians still walk among us.

I agree with you, but not because of the price. One, I feel the box art would be really nice and two, the reason I prefer discs is due to hard drive space. With disc based games, you can delete them easily and re-install them easily when you need to make space on the hard drive. It's a little more of an annoyance with digital games, as you need to download it again. Discs allow you to skip that step. I just wish Sony would allow you to install games to external drives.

I give you guys shit for being off-topic, but that's whatever. But it seems like potshots at Metal Gear Scanlon V for being bad is pretty much the only form of discussion we have anymore about the feature, and I legit think that's kind of shitty.
Still legitimately hoping for a Dan & Drew Toejam and Earl playthrough (ToeDan & Drewarl)

I've stuck with disks when possible for this reason (since I'm moving between two different PS4s at home and at school every few months) but with install times and patch sizes being what they are now it's increasingly a pain in the ass even with a disk.

Yeah, I'd love to have the option to keep patches installed when a disk based game is deleted. The disk install times are always quite fast in my opinion. I wish more games were like Killzone: Shadow Fall though, where you are immediately in the menus.
They were talking about Bioshock on Alt+F1 and Danny said he thinks that Ken Levine is an Objectivist. Drew's reaction was like yours.

The Witness from this QL looks like Legend of Grimrock 2 but without you falling into a pit and breaking a leg from failing a puzzle or getting jumped by monsters for solving a puzzle.

Ha ha, how much do those solar panels weigh? They have like 6 of them doing nothing but adding weight.
They need some really big help to work on their fundamentals. They are making the same significant mistakes early on and it keeps costing them. Without someone going 'hey, your methods for getting into orbit are fucked', it's going to be real tough to make progress.

If I play Until Dawn is it possible to have a pretty different experience to the one that GBeast had? I've been wanting to play it recently but I can remember the GBeast playthrough pretty well so I'm wondering if it's worth waiting until my memory of the game isn't as clear.

Scott Manley will put them on the right track!
Yeah man I've been playing career mode and that really forces you to learn the fundamentals since you've limited parts and need to budget effectively. I just slammed a probe into the mun yesterday but I learned a lot from it.

I am not a big fan of TotalBiscuit's views on a lot of things (most of which were expressed through social media originally!), but bringing them up in a thread with that context seems in poor taste.
Seeing Vinny waste all that fuel on the Mun landing was like a slow motion horror show. I'm pretty sure that setup had very little chance of making the return trip anyway, but there was zero reason to blow all that fuel there once he got the speed under control.

I don't mind it. It can be fascinating, and it's a nice change of pace, especially for someone like Dan.
Yeah it's cool. Just such an abrupt change of tone from everything else they do that it takes me half an hour or so to adjust to it.

Edit: and yeah, today's BEAST was yet another exercise in frustration if you know where the problem is. I'm happy they landed on the moon but there are so many simple things that made what could have been a massively successful landing a kind of weird one.

You will not have a majorly different experience no. The big story beats will happen generally the same way. Some sequences can happen pretty differently and their are plenty of small differences regarding character interactions, but I'd suggest waiting till October when it'll be on sale for sure.
I'm surprised Vinny hasn't done that yet. He figured out how to do that in Sleeping Dogs.

I'm over here watching Project BEAST and making hard-boiled eggs.

That's good enough for me, especially since it's like half the price of a full game at the moment.

Some people are not very self-aware. Pointing it out makes them even less self-aware.
I'm here for the humor from the failing. Remember how the Dan vs Punch Out series turned out?

I was just doing this except it was a mushroom sauce for some pasta, not hard-boiled eggs.

I think it's the best Metal Gear Solid game, but between Dan's shitty advice and the repetitive mission design, it hasn't made for the best Let's Play.
There's real tension in knowing that your characters are vulnerable and can die fairly early (earlier than in GB East''s playthrough), but the makeup of the scenes and the story beats do not change.

I don't understand how it's possible to feel any other way, game is trash.

from my viewpoint, it seems like vinny's current biggest stumbling point is the initial kerbin orbit. he spends a lot of fuel making clumsy orbits and they're usually off-axis to the point that it makes his Mun approaches have unnecessarily narrow windows.
of course that then brings up the question of "how does he get into better orbits when his ships are big floppy dicks/vape pens that wiggle all over the place" without going all the way back to the drawing board
and then there's the implication that some crazy shit has already happened in episodes that aren't released yet
this zoo's got nooo limits

Mario Sunshine is a fine game released during the most prolific era of 3-D platformers.

So... why do people think Mario Sunshine is bad?

I don't know. Jeff definitely plays it up a bit for laughs, but even still. Game's great. maybe not top 3 mario games, but still

Because it felt like some sort of weird side Mario when people basically wanted another sm64 but leveraging the gamecube's tech.
And it sure didn't help that it could be hard as balls at times, too.
don't do [new thing] to my [thing]
but also don't make the same [thing] everytime
see: sunshine, majora, nuts & bolts, sticker star, toejam & earl 2
people are silly and boring

The design falls apart toward the later half. Some of those levels are just plain bad, like Pianta Village.
And the progression is pretty poor, it just sort of ends.

Wait, I just saw the news story that Mighty No. 9 got delayed again. Hahaha, of course it did.

Hard boiled eggs were a success!
[EDIT] Project BEAST was... less than a success.
