YESSSS

i am happy hes gonna post the best moments of the entire ER unlike the other person who stopped halfway

Yeah, it`s really cool that someone took it upon themselves to finish a Best Of of the P4 ER.

Heh yeah, but it`s true that they rarely do reviews for really long games anymore, unless it`s something one of them really wants to play (Dan with Stardew Valley, and I`m guessing Austin will review Stellaris for example). Which is fine by me.

if the Beast won't play more Crusader Kings they should play more Stellaris. I now agree with whichever one of you said Brad and Dan should play Crusader Kings cause that would be an amazing train wreck.

I really like the Drew/Austin combo. And that quick look is a good example of why I like digital board games because the game can remember the rules and what not for you.

Do we know what kind of equipment and software GB uses to keep the delay so minor on these cross coast videos? It`s impressive compared to most podcasts I`ve listened to that just uses standard Skype for example.
 
Tumblr is the source and gathering place of many sfm artists, so it is unavoidable to see something indecent. We can't escape that no more.

At some point tumblr should just make a side porn site and be done with it so that you could browse with comfort. However, why would they do that when they'll probably lose half their clicks.

Most artists have a sideblog that's specifically for porn, and if you don't want porn appearing in your tag searches, you can just turn on the adult content filter.

Oh, I don't have a Tumblr. I'm just talking in general since all kinds of artists are there. However, since there is something to lock that content off that's good unless the filter itself doesn't do a good job when you're browsing a tag.

ughh man how fucking good is this game?

Too good.

I'm the biggest Dark Souls fanboy you're likely to find but if Hitman continues providing these quality maps throughout the year it may well be my game of the year.

Its really likely going to be my GOTY even just based on these two. I can't think of what's coming out in the next six months that might displace it, although I could always be surprised

I feel like those menus in Persona 5 just feel different from the aesthetic we're used to these days, very clean & understated, and they could get pretty old pretty fast.

If they're a porn blog, they have to be marked 18+ or else the thing gets nuked. Tumblr reporting is really one sided apparently.

Gungeon is starting to get on the level of "fuck this fucking game" now, the part where I haven't mastered the mechanics yet and I'm still getting my ass handed to me by the first bosses.

Are there any attacks or bosses your struggling with in particular?

Event Zero Dawn Horizon or whatever is still this year right? I'm looking forward to that. And maybe No Man's Sky.

I have had this game day 1 and still didn't finish it but got to level 5 a couple of times. The key is to keep buying shit from the breach shop so you could have much more better items in the pool. Sometimes the randomness like any rogue like reaches "fuck you" levels certainly.
 
re: Gungeon, I'd also recommending saying fuck all to saving up for the shortcuts unless you really want the item unlocks/achievements. I've "beaten" it six times and I've yet to use the shortcuts since it's not worth all the money and items you skip over (the game comps you a free gun on the deeper shortcuts, but not enough).
 
People masturbate to things! How shocking!

I'm bummed they didn't do a Zootopia one tbh.

Any tips besides playing for a few hours? I keep playing everyday for 40 minutes to an hour because I don't feel like I could play it for long with restarting the first chamber fuck tons of times.

Don't know why I'm under the impression Robo-dinosaurs got delayed to 2017.

Currently, Hitman can very well be it based on the beta. I bought it and am waiting for further levels to jump in. I imagine if Deus Ex 4 is as good as Deus Ex 3, that'd be it. Then there's Dishonored 2. Persona 5 if it comes stateside. Zero Time Dilemma. Lots of sequels to games I loved. Dark Souls III is quality Dark Souls. Overwatch is dope.

That's been my approach -- I usually play a session right when I get home but rarely more than one, since when you get to the point where you're consistently making deep runs one life usually takes at least 40 minutes. Gun knowledge is important, in terms of just knowing what's good, what's bad, and what's "cool" but rarely worth it (the lower-case r, while funny, is terrible). That can help you use gun munchers and shop smartly. Any active item that gives you temporary invincibility is always worth it. Also, there are a few items that will let you steal from the shops (most of them are things that make you invisible or charm enemies, e.g. the charm horn).

Galak-Z continues to be the biggest unreported travesty in gaming. Holy shit. So they released their big promised content patch the other day, but instead of adding Season 5 as they promised when the game was released, they added leaderboards, daily challenges and an endless mode and called it a day. Their trailer even made a joke about 'oh, you expected Season 5?' What the fuck? Not finishing your damn game is nothing to joke about.

Just going from that trailer, I guess Season 5 is never coming? Boy that game's trajectory still sucks so bad. I've never felt so damn abused and misled as a consumer. 17-Bit has pretty much lost a customer. I hope releasing an unfinished project was worth it.

CK would be worth it just for them to fumble through all of the menus, and Dan having no idea what any of the various cultures are.

The lower case r is bad

Until you get duct tape

God, for a late game item, duct tape changes the dynamic of guns

GBeast crew was a lot better at that Human Centipede game lol.

Jeff and Brad just could not comprehend the mechanics in that game.

Duct tape is amazing! I combined the Gungeon Eagle with the Sling and created a slow but insanely damaging death machine that sliced through every boss in 10 or so shots.

I am now a member and subscriber at Giantbomb! What should I do first?

Beside from cancelling the auto-subscription, where is that?
 
The Twilight Struggle QL was cool. I've always wanted to get into that game and it looks daunting but doable. And the Drew + Austin combo was as great as expected.
