Yeah same for me. Had a BLAST playing it all in coop with a friend. We both have the game installed with the season pass installed waiting for the new big expansion coming out soon.

you couldn't pay me to argue that dan's opinions are reasonable
it's a matter of phrasing. he focuses on stating his preferences more than not understanding other preferences. jeff fits that bill way better. it's often in jest, of course, but saying that a certain game/series is enjoyed by "lunatics" is a jeff thing
it's about their output, goty lists are dumb, anyway, unless you get a series of highly entertaining podcasts out of it

Did Jeff play Read Only Memories? That aesthetic is the main reason I want to play it. Will probably grab it before the steam sale ends

I didn't think that game scratched that itch at all.
Damn, you missed out on that sweet diamond grip.
Also weird, it should just recognize the controller now.
GTO, Ranma and Golden Boy.
There, no need to watch anything else. Well, Cobra is cool too.

Golden Boy is fantastic. GTO is GOAT.

That everyone still buys anyway. Same as every Bethesda franchise.
Indeed. Never laughed so hard with a cartoon before.

Add a "shaka brah" onto the end and suddenly that Bebop gif is modern and hip. At the same time!

I was mostly joking with bloodborne, but what if it also didn't! Oh god the salt would be so good!
Not sure if Ranma belongs on that list...
Didn't know Gamespot did top 5 videos

9 AM? When the first cast goes up?
ideally, a couple hours before the madness starts
it's not quite ready, yet, but it will be
Guess I'm installing it again...
I'm so bad at it, though, and don't know why. I tried again after I heard Mary on the Bombcast and I can barely make it to world 3...
Also, the combo doesn't have any benefit after 25, right?

The Talos Principle is my 2014's 2015 GOTY. If I would have played it last year it would have been on my list and I would have bitched that the duders didn't really mention it. Great game, cheap on Steam now too by the way.

GTO is in fact the GOAT. The new manga is pretty great as well.

I wouldn't blame him though since people go on and on about it infinitely but it's pretty good especially since it doesn't take alot of your time. 20 or so minute and 25 episodes in total all about bounty hunters in space with some fine ass jazzy tunes riding badass space ships.
I guess I would recommend Jeff to watch Death Note since its also short but I don't imagine it's his type of thing anyways so what I would say to you Jeff, is you're better off watching
MGScanlon.

Its called Paradise Lost, started last year. Its a sequel about Onizuka in prison and how he got there. Its set like 2 years or so after the anime ends I believe.

I really enjoyed the puzzles as someone who typically just tears through puzzle games. they had a good balance of requiring creative thinking without being obtuse.
I kind of thought the whole overarching philosophy plot was flimsy and didn't quite pay off.
but, as a game, fantastic.

Oooh, I haven't kept up with it. Guess I should pick it up again.

Didn't do it for me aesthetically. It's got some standard cyberpunk stuff but it's also absolutely full-on anime in every sense of the word -- basically Bebop but minus any of the cool shit. Jeff wouldn't last five minutes.

Speaking of Mary Kish, she has a Let's Play series on YouTube focusing on Indie Games that does not seem to be getting many views. Most vids are under 500 views :/

Cheese-kun was my favorite character.
If I recommend that Brad plays more DOTA and Destiny does that mean he'll finally be free?

I just bought it a couple days ago and have played 5 hours, it's really good.
Since this series is essentially Mary's tryout for Giant Bomb, we should support her.

It's deeply unlikely, but I'll root for this Hail Mary effort.
The problem with soliciting anime recommendations from the internet is that the internet is terrible at recommending anime. Most of the stuff you're going to get is either A) poorly tailored to the person looking for the recommendation or B) outright bad, but has a huge fanbase (Death Note, Attack on Titan, Code Geass etc.).
Like, there are certain shows I love that I know better to recommend to someone like Jeff. Gintama isn't a show that's going to work for him at all since a large portion of what makes that show works is it riffing on years of shonen and anime history. If you don't have that frame of reference, the subversive parts are going to miss. I also know better than to recommend Mushi-shi, Monster or From the New World. All are great, but clearly not what he's after.
Given what he wants, he should totally be looking at stuff like Bubblegum Crisis, Go Nagi's stuff, maybe some Fist of the North Star (series is probably too long for what he's after, though). GunBuster would be a great thing to look at as well. JoJo gets a bit too much of a push sometimes, but it's fantastic and the very definition of what he's after.
Cowboy Bebop shows up a bit too often in suggestions, but it's there for a reason. It's still one of the greatest pieces of TV I've ever seen. Given that Jeff is looking for that 80s aesthetic, though, I probably wouldn't put it on my list of for him.
