Man I just started Blood and Wine and I wasn't expecting much after finishing hearts of stone, but this seems like it's MASSIVE. And it's gorgeous to boot. I'm barely an hour in and I can understand where all the praise comes from.

Yeah, it's big and real impressive visually. I didn't enjoy the main storyline as much as Hearts of Stone but I liked the aesthetic and that they introduced a mechanic to address one of the main issues with the main game's progression (namely, that after a certain point there is no use in spending skill points so you have an overabundance).

just saying, if future hitman content was like dan's video, i'd be excited about future hitman content

so dan wins

 

[Tubobutts]

I think Brad should go first next time. Dan gets help from the judges and then they can't help Brad.

Of course it hasn't actually helped him, but it's the principle of the thing.

 

[kingocfs]

Vice the magazine is dog shit but some of their documentaries are quality - frog licking aside of course

Fuck That's Delicious is also the best show on television, so there's that too.

Vinny is a treasure in the Hitman video. His mind games are on another level.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Dan merely adopted the open-world insanity, Vinny was born in it.

 

[The Technomancer]

Vinny is a treasure in the Hitman video. His mind games are on another level.

I would kill for any Vinny-playing-Hitman content. The Rule of Vinny is that the more a game requires a player to ride along a careful catastrophe curve the more Vinny will send things completely off the rails

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Vinny is a treasure in the Hitman video. His mind games are on another level.

As somebody with anxiety disorders I fell like Vinny yelling at me to do overtly stupid shit on a livestream would be abjectly terrifying, With that said it's great!

I think Brad should go first next time. Dan gets help from the judges and then they can't help Brad.

Of course it hasn't actually helped him, but it's the principle of the thing.

Brad going first would be better for pacing too, his runs are kind of a slog - would be nice to finish out with Dan's style of play and have something to look forward to (also Brad's reactions would be funnier).

Completely agreed, it would be amazing!

You know when people call VOX sites like Polygon and so on hipster blogs?

VOX is basically trying to be watered down, more mainstream Vice.

The Verge used to be so cool like 3 years ago. Loved that site and vergecast back then.

Its current state is a fucking embarrassment of what it was.

Edit: I still like to follow my Rox on SB Nation.

Edit 2: Doom is 30 bones on steam but I can't pull the trigger. Somebody give guidance.

You punch demons in the fucking gut.

And the gun play is on another level, like for real, it feels good shooting things. Such a good game.

He looked so rad in the announcement trailer doe.

Edit: I have a video of my brother an I watching this trailer as it was being shown at Blizzcon and us losing our shit. It's funny.

Spoiler

Diablo 2 was the best game ever made, so we had reason to be excited.

Drew seeing Rex for the first time: "Is that...Metal Gear?"

Edit: How does Otacon know nothing about how the Rex fires nukes. Didn't he build the thing?

I believe it's always assumed he built the robot part of it and not the weapon of mass destruction part of it.
Could also just be Kojima being Kojima.

 

[repeater]

For Hitman they should nix the in-studio judges completely and leave the decision soley to the chat

And we should ALWAYS hand it to Brad regardless of performance, just to spite Dan's crazy competitiveness.

 

[Lunar FC]

Yeah, the differance between Vinny coaching and Dan coaching is Dan usually provides funny ideas while Vinny would give us overly complex and unrealistic ideas that arn't even possible in the game.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

I hesitate, err, refuse to call what Dan was doing with Brad coaching.

Danny had a recent periscope where he mentioned Dan in New York and made it sound like maybe we haven't heard the full story about that whole thing yet.
Sounded like the plans changed recently or something.
Just watch the clip and hear for yourselves.

Sounds like Dan really wants to move to the East Coast but is still figuring out if he can.

Sounds like Danny has heard more of the story than any of us.

Sounds like this is prime material for an honest heart-to-heart on "Danswers: Special Dan Ryckdan Guest Episode".

Ah, I finally know that the thing is that people do with their voice that I hate so much. "Vocal fry".
I love the "A life well wasted" podcast, have heard everything three times, I guess. But man do I hate how Robert goes into this mode for his monologues.

 

[Houndi101]

So is someone gonna jump straight to NMS or are we all waiting what El Jeffe has to say?

 

[Meguro]

Considering my taste in games is often the complete opposite from Jeff's, no.

 

[Xater]

So is someone gonna jump straight to NMS or are we all waiting what El Jeffe has to say?

After Starbound I kinda lost interest in NMS. I don't know if I am ready yet for another one of these.

 

[Tubobutts]

So is someone gonna jump straight to NMS or are we all waiting what El Jeffe has to say?

I have it pre-ordered.

And also I hated Terraria even though I got it from free.

 

[mnz]

I want to hear his thoughts, but I've never based my consumption on Jeff's super odd taste.

 

[Data West]

I find space overrated

 

[Human Trashcan]

I need No Man's Sky to come out so we can all finally move on and let the healing begin.

 

[Hot Coldman]

After the Hitman video, I am incredibly happy with a Vinny/Dan combo, so sure, fuck it, move him there full time

I bet the situation went a little something like this:

Dan: with Austin's vacancy, I'm thinking of moving to new york
Jeff: i'm not sure you'd be the right fit for them
Dan: lets do a month tester and see how members react
Jeff: okay

 

[repeater]

"Joakim Mogren" is an anagram of "Make Ring Mojo", so this actually checks out.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Still kinda don't want it to be permanent. One thing I'll definitely miss is his dynamic with jeff. He seems to be the only one capable if making Jeff crack up regularly.

I just want Jeff to be happy.

He had a hard life.

 

[demidar]

Jeff got married, what more do you want?

 

[Antiwhippy]

On-screen!

Or in the case of podcasts, in... Ears?

 

[popo]

Dude said he wanted Jeff to be happy.

As I said before I wouldn't be opposed to a permanent move. More BEAST content is a good thing, it'll even out the WEST side when it comes to the content.

Going to get it in a week or so. Reviews have been for a while now to me, is just "I wonder what this person thinks about this game" rather than looking at it from the perspective of whether I should purchase said game or not. I'd rather just buy whatever interests me in the slightest and then form my own opinion about it, good or bad.
