Dan being in NY has been some of the liveliest, most likeable content in a long time out of either studio, and I'm glad that he (and Danny apparently) knows which coast is the actual best coast.
west though... good luck? hey Brad, remember X-Wing?

I think the most hilarious thing I've ever laid my eyes on was some tweet saying something to the effect of "don't bring politics into Deus Ex"
People really don't realize that everything is always already enmeshed in ideology, but, hey, it's easier to just point gun and shoot many mans.
Austin was too good for us, and video games were a mistake.

I am going to make it through this year if it kills me
Whatever coast Vinny happens to be on is the best coast.

As great and rare as the Brad guffaw is, Vinny's laugh is one of the most infectious ever and makes everything better.

Austin hasn't been gone that long.

Isn't the general consensus that the ideological and political stuff has always been a total mess, though?

giant bomb threads on gaming side continue to offer credence to my theory that having any opinions whatsoever should be against the law

Wasn't the combat in Shenmue practically a VF game when it was 1v1 whilst Yakuza's the standard 3D action RPG crap with some cool moves thrown in? Am I remembering horribly wrong?

You know, posts like this (and the ones in the Gaming thread itself) are only putting a magnifying glass on the shitposts. The thread started off terribly, but it's not going to move on from it if people can't stop pointing out how terribly it started off.

I hope they will continue making Demo Derby videos without Dan
or maybe both coasts will do them now~
i would like Vinny's opinions of those old games.
Lol some people are physically incapable of playing along with a joke.
Good for Dan. Not my ideal situation, I'm not gonna lie, but I'm excited for the content!
I really will miss him on the West coast. If anything, it will force the rest of them to actually create some content. Dan was like a creative tidal wave when he started.
Probably a good idea. Just started the panel and this Max guy has an incredibly punch-able face.

I've only played HR, but from that and what I've seen of MD, yeah, totally. The point isn't that it's good; it's that it's there (as it is in every cultural product) and worth discussing. Because some of it is egregiously bad (...as it is in almost every cultural product) and won't get better without the criticism, which...is what critics are supposed to provide.

Thanks for saving me time.

Sure, but the political stuff from HR to MD seems to have only gotten worse, so I don't know that I'd find the notion that the series would be better off dropping it as laughable as you do. Frankly, I think that space is much better suited towards smaller studios, since the nature of AAA games seemingly makes nuance a lot more difficult to pull off.

Oh, I'm not arguing in support of the studio. The tweet was made by somebody taking issue with people discussing the game's politics. I'm saying it's stupid to say that we're not supposed to engage with that part of the video game.
Yep. It's a real privileged mindset. I was like that when I was younger but I work really hard to think about things like that and discipline myself. Ask myself why those thoughts are there and such. I'm nowhere near perfect at all but a little self awareness and empathy can go a long way.
I enjoyed the panel a good bit but I think the majority thought it was disjointed and awkward. It seemed par for the course when it comes to PAX shows to me.

So in the next few months we will have
A Endurance Run
MANY mario party parties
And probably a Destiny raid stream since those are fun (hey. Remember Destiny?)
The good times are coming duders. The good times are coming.

Having watched the RunButton guys play it, Shenmue is -the dumbest game- and a perfect pick.

But what happens after the good times?
Shenmue 1 and 2 are two of my favorite games ever, they were incredible at the time.
Pretty sure they haven't aged well but my nostalgia is still high. And it's super dumb and serious at the same time, which should make for a great ER.
Depending on how hard they go with the side stuff, it shouldn't take them too long to finish the main path.
And it's great to know they're jumping on Shenmue 2, as well.

Doing multiple Mario Partys per stream is pry a good idea anyways, doesn't the maximum turn count decrease by quite a bit later in the series?

Several years of darkness of course.
Thanks a ton.

What if vice gaming burns down before the end of the year and Austin just becomes the new West hire

Shenmue sucks so this should be a good series
the deliberate stuff, sure
We read your posts!
I don't think it'll happen and it's probably for the best but I am really curious to see an all day Mario Party stream.
what happened to your computer.
I just want more Project B.E.A.S.T
it won't be the same without VINNY!!!!!!!!!
