Do you mean the third season that's going on right now? It's pretty fun so far and Austin is such a good GM that his campaigns really gain momentum throughout.

Is that what the kids are calling it now?
The faction episodes (and really the whole season) get much better after Austin streamlines the game following the two part holiday flashback episode. I agree they're pretty unengaging before that.
The current season is meant as a shorter, standalone experience. I'd recommend jumping into it to see if you like it before committing to the much longer earlier seasons. One warning though: the audio on the first ten or so episodes of the first season is REALLY dodgy.

Playing the 360 version of SOTN?!
That means they won't listen to this majestic piece of saxophone cheese.
I love this song cause one YouTube commenter nailed it by saying it reminds me of a Disney credits song from the 90's.

The NMS review thread is a thing of beauty.

Yeah I started at episode 1 and it's been kinda rough so far. Up to about episode 4 so far, and I just have a tough time following it. I feel like if I don't give it my full attention for 10 seconds, I'll miss something.
Also there's a pretty big imbalance in "screen time" for the characters. Might be kind of a too many cooks scenario. I guess i'm just used to TAZ, which is smaller.
They split up into 2 parties eventually so they have fewer people on the casts.

I understand the mixed reactions and criticisms of the game, but god damn I can't stop playing No Man's Sky. I think it'll be another one of those games I love despite itself.

Same.
I'm loving just seeing what each planet and system is like and scrounging for upgrades.

Cool, thanks for the info... I've always wanted to jump in, but thought I might have to listen to the older stuff. Just downloaded this seasons stuff, really looking forward to it
Every time I'm ready to switch back to Overwatch I find an amazing planet that keeps me going.
Same, found a planet with a shit ton of emeril deposites and just got rich

That's good. I think my main problem with it so far is just that it IS more play focused than TAZ, so it's not always necessarily focused on telling the best story/catering to the listener.
Edit: Also, biting the bullet and downloading No Man's Sky. It was either this or start learning to play Dota.

Lang's favorite footballer will always be Tottenham's number one striker... and that's... VINCENT JANSSEN... Harry Kane was pretty poor today.
It's because I started him in fantasy.

My favorite in one of those threads was the guy who posted SIXTY FUCKING DOLLARS like some sort of school chant.
I'm sure if he said it enough times, the price would change to $10.
I highly doubt vice is or would prevent Austin/Patrick from doing anything they want.
as long as what they want is heroin
Finally finished the Beastcast. So good, I loved how Dan's silly questions turned into an hour of entertaining content. The beginning made salty though when Dan was being derisive towards Witcher 3 when he remembered that fucking Mario Maker won GOTY.
Fucking Mario Maker.
I can see Vinny arguing for Witcher 3 as 2016's Old Game of the Year this year, though.

Mr. Vice will only let them go on GB if they drop acid beforehand.
The marketing cycle and price increase and all of that really hurt the game.
It could've been a cult hit instead of this massively hyped game.

Well, sure. Big Boss is afraid of vampires and gets distracted by boobs despite being on a dangerous stealth mission that could end in nuclear catastrophe if he fucks up.
But can Dan go back to being Brads coach after Brad beat him twice!?!???
Also, did Austin take the boss light with him? I watched Vinnyvania and even though according to Dan's count they beat 17 bosses, not once did they use the light.

I wouldn't mind Dan staying on the East Coast, he works so well with Vinny and Alex (and Jeff [and Austin]). Can't wait for next week's Beastcast.
So what you're saying is Brad should be coaching Dan.
NMS vs Dota.
Doing the same thing on many different maps vs doing different things on the same map.

I got to the part on the Beastcast where Dan is arguing that reptiles aren't closer to mammals than amphibians because crocodiles look closer to snakes (which are also reptiles) and "chickens don't look like dinosaurs" and gah
it is also ironic because crocodiles are far closer to chickens than they are to snakes

I'm looking forward to finishing the rest of the Beastcast.
