Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Seeing people complaining about them playing Hitman makes me all the more excited for it.
So? Brad getting blown up by his own proximity mine had me in tears.

Top two things video game developers need to standardize:
-Which submenu the subtitles option is located in
-Whether proximity mines are triggered by the player
-Which submenu the subtitles option is located in
-Whether proximity mines are triggered by the player
or maybe the player should realize that when it beeps, it probably triggered

Someone call Dave Lang.
My favorite part of the new Hitman video (besides the fact that a part 2 is coming) is Dan not knowing what a doll house is. Every time one pops up in the level he's all "What's with these tiny houses? Why is there a tiny house?" Hilarious.
Through the whole back half of the video, I was urging them to turn the OCD opportunity back on and track it, or else they'll never find his cigarettes. The opportunities in this mission are great, hopefully they do the ram one. The Interpol one for the lady is pretty good too, although I found out her dialog if you give her emetic poison is fucking great.
I'm in agreement that a bit more understanding of the mechanics from both of them would be great, maybe if they played it a bit more often. Or unlocking one of the remote explosives or the phone, since those are so much simpler to use.
I think after Japan comes out, they should bring in Dave Lang to do a quick one-shot through every level and show them how a pro does it.

Does anyone have a rough estimate of roughly how much of Shenmue is left in the ER? I've been waiting for them to finish before I started watching.

You just described my steam queue.
Watch the video. Within the first few minutes, he's baffled by the existence of a "tiny house" and doesn't seem to understand it on a conceptual level. They pop up a few more times and each time he's dumbfounded. It's great.

Well regardless of whether he recognizes them as dollhouses or not, it's kind of weird for them to be there.

I need to check this out.
Not being able to take that disguise is a huge missed opportunity.
But I guess you'd need his hair, too. Maybe the hair could be attached to the mask like Kane.

Is there a name for that weird puppet-y looking animation style on the characters in the Nidhogg 2 trailer?
I always mentally associate it with like cheap shitty flash animation or something.
Yes, thanks.

Wild guess? Twitch/streamer appeal.
Just look at how wacky and streamable it is at first glance. Meme face, Homer Simpsons, and nudity! Wowser!
I love Brad and Dan talking through the briefing every time and immediately wondering who the targets are or missing key geographic features of the map, without fail.
"garbage tier." After the snappiness of the first game the loose/weird animation style on 2 is disappointing.

You know that makes sense. I can like an art style that is considered ugly, but this seems more like it's trying hard to be wacky for the kids.

I hate to be so superficial but I'd left swipe Nidhogg 2
i think puppet or modular animation are the most common terms for it

As a more recent follower of the site, I've been looking at a few of the famous, defining Bombcasts and videos from the site's past. Today I listened to the Bombcast recorded the week after Ryan's death.
On top of the tragedy of everything else, I really would have been happy to make it through my life without hearing Vinny cry.

That Nidhogg 2 thread is turning into some weird discussion about how you shouldn't criticize it for looking like it does because that's what the developers wanted it to look like and who are you to judge?
Haha I think they played this on that old game show they used to do

Nidhogg 2's artstyle is like a bad version of Intrusion 2's weighted, marionette-esque look. (And seriously, play Intrusion 2 it is the definition of a hidden gem.)
Definitely listen to the Ryan-hosted podcasts if you're inclined, there's a lot of good listening there.
That was a really tough... and touching Bombcast to listen to, and I appreciate that they did it. I think it's the first one I ever saved long-term.As a more recent follower of the site, I've been looking at a few of the famous, defining Bombcasts and videos from the site's past.
