Ah ok. I only have the energy to take interest in a few internet personalities, and I chose Giant Bomb to fill that role.

I think that's for everyone to decide personally, but it's hard to separate PA's art from their own views and politics, when they've grown closer and closer together over the years. The art has somehow, bizarrely, gotten way worse, too. I still like some of their old work, though (have to admit that SC comic got a laugh out of me).

this game design video is really stupid, I can't believe I called it "serious"
I have heard the word "poop" enough for the next 12 years

yeah, I don't get it either. the best art is usually made by total scumbags. but if that's where people want to draw their lines, it's their life to actively make worse I guess.
"Sir, he's anime!". Drew's quip game is god tier.I know they said they wouldn't do but they should really do it.
Also, one of my favorite Jeff quotes ever is from a recent Bombcast where he said "The final boss from Revengeance is looking surprisingly electable these days." (or something close to that).

Yeah, their art's a real fucking sideshow these days, and the writing's not much better.
That being said, they made some really funny shit back in the day.
I think that is kind of why I am into it?
It looks like a game that knows it is a videogame.

Metal Gear Rising would make a great Extra Life stream game.
Its like 5 hours long. Drew has already run out of Halos to play. DO IT THIS YEAR
We dont have many GTA clones anymore. People are hungry for them now.
And I think Mafia 3 looks decent. I have my eye on that one.

Awesome! She should be in more GB content.
The Mic is set up and headphones on the table so hopefully that means he's there.
Edit: There he is.

Jeff will fire him after Brad begins the podcast by going over the Dark Rift update that just hit DOTA shores

So, I'm currently playing through the Mr. Robot game that Telltale published. It was made by Night School Studios, the folks that did Oxenfree, and takes place during the first season of the show. I'm kinda really digging it.
It starts off with you finding a phone, and most of the game (so far) takes place through a series of text and phone interactions. All of the text interaction involve choice, and I can't speak to how much the game changes when you choose one thing over another, but there have been situations where I wouldn't have known the answer unless I had sent a message to someone else asking for help.
It's not a 3D or 2D style game, it literally takes place on a phone interface. You get random texts throughout the day, some from friends of the person who's phone you found, notifications from services the original owner was subscribed to, group messages from their friends and, of course, interaction with some of the characters from the show.
It's pretty well written, so far, as most of the texting feels legit. Obviously, if you're not a fan of the show you're not going to enjoy it.

Just in time.
It's a fantastic game, enjoyed playing it. Also, the co-op mode in that game is legit.
I currently am gonna beat this soon. It's a fine game as long as you love relaxing games. Started it after beating Headlander, which is great because of how different the game is.
Shame more people didn't give it a chance, I adore the movement in that game. Enjoyed my time with it, if there is anything I disliked is when it FORCES you into combat against enemies, which it does a few times but otherwise you're always free to run and do some sick parkour moves.
Oh man, the game that has a balls meter. I used to play that game just to mash the button where you could swear and say shit.

I'll let it be known that the work is always appreciated. One of my favorite aspects of the threads.
e: The best thing is it being a lowkey thing. Nothing worse than flaunting it around. I mean you don't expect anything but then you enter the thread and boom.
I never really have much to say and feel bad about that because I always love the Bombcast threads and am very grateful for them. Thank you both so much!

Holy shit, that PS Now news. Playing on PC right now is really fantastic.
I do love your Bombcast threads!
These live Bombcasts introduced a new problem in that I listen to it much later in audio form, though. So I'm way late to the discussion.
I want to let you know that I really appreciate the work Ren and you put into the threads!
I don't think Drew would finish it in 5 hours.
Tell him it's intergender pro wrestling with entrance music and lighting effects that never stop.
And he wouldn't look out of place in his douchebag wrestling persona.
Only now listening to last week's Bombcast, and I was listening to the discussion about Metroid Federation Force. Now, I'll preface that I know nothing about that game and don't care to play it, but I was getting frustrated hearing Jeff speak to definitively about it after saying he'd only played the tutorial and first mission (which I assume is no more than 30 minutes), and doing it solo no less.
I mean, I could have told you from the beginning that it would be a game Jeff wouldn't like, almost no aspect of it speaks to his sensibilities, but he was even answering questions like "Is Samus involved in it at all" with genuine responses, and not at all qualifying it with "to be fair, I've given this thing almost no chance at all".
I dunno, it's not a big deal, and Federation Force is certainly not a game I'm teeming with passion for, but it was frustrating me. I have a huge pet peeve when people speak to things they know little about.

...ever? Lol, I feel like there have been a lot of games that have taken me more than 30 minutes to get into.
Not saying it would happen here, but just in principle.

I really really like Dan at GBEast. His bottomless curiosity just mixes so incredibly well with Alex and Vinny in a way that works even better than with the West crew
Vinny's looking after enough children.

So is Galak-z complete? I noticed it's in the humble indie bundle for a dollar but also remember a bunch of shit going on around that game.
