A good guest Peter Brown is.

Mass Effect Andromeda is a bad guest.

Peter Brown is a bad game.

Whippy, are you telling me you didn't know what weird tentacle hentai is

Oh no, I meant googling the hive level from duke nukem.

Of course I know what weird tentacle hentai is.

Please.

 

[Moaradin]

Yeah, skip out on the Nier talk if you have any interest in that game. Saying it's not story related really undersells it. The gameplay aspect is just as important and the surprise of it is one of the best parts. It's a very weird thing to bring up to begin with since it seems like Peter Brown isn't even close to getting that ending himself, so he has no idea how significant it actually is.

 

[Jintor]

That's two nier spoilers I wasn't prepared for on two different casts

I'm more annoyed at myself for not skipping them since they were both heavily warned.

PC version, can't wait.

You should never doubt a person with an Overwatch avatar's knowledge of weird porn.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Overwatch's porn isn't even that weird in comparison to some other communities.

Or so I've heard.

From a friend.

 

[Zeouterlimits]

There is a note on the pages for the bombcast of when the spoilers are so you can avoid them.

Thank you <3

 

[hamchan]

Bit disappointed that Jeff and Alex immediately told Vinny and Dan when Tokyo Drift was set in the timeline but I guess they couldn't hold their excitement.

 

[repeater]

On the website, but is nowhere else, still is fkn irresponsible to do it less than a week out. Just becaus they are not gonna play the game idc, do it on ur personal time but no in a live podcast which is one of the most popular gaming podcasts in the world.

The spoiler is also very clearly announced on the podcast, giving you plenty of time to tune out of you don't wanna hear it. I did not want to be spoiled and I had no problem avoiding it.

You have a friend who compares porn from multiple communities?

You should tell them to start a YouTube channel or a Tumblr blog.

Yakuza 0: OMG

Fixed , game never stops being amazing

 

[Xater]

Despite not enjoying the last few Bioware games all that much, I had Andromeda pre-ordered. Peter Brown made me feel good about finally canceling it. Well the Rock Paper Shotgun preview also confirmed my biggest fears for that game.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I mean i share his total disinterest in anything mass effect related, but if you're a fan of the series why would you listen to someone who obviously does not like it?

It's like me basing my opinion on project diva from dan.

 

[Xater]

But I am not really a fan. I loved the first one, had problems with 2 and hated 3. Let's not even talk about DA2 or Inquisition.

I'm an old school Bioware fan. I still think they peaked with Baldur's Gate 2.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Ah alright, that's fair enough then.

"Modern Linkin Park to me just sounds like...they are like the new U2" - Jeff Gerstmann

 

[Antiwhippy]

They both produce boring, generic rock so that sounds about right.

Like I can totally imagine this as a U2 song.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5dmQ3QWpy1Q

 

[repeater]

Yeah, I miss the exciting avant-garde sounds of early Linkin Park

They had a guy on turntables.. in a metal band! It was CRAZY

I legitimately made this face when I heard this song

 

[Antiwhippy]

Fuck man at least early linkin park is somewhat listenable if you're unfortunate enough to be stuck in a room with it playing.

If I'm stuck in a room with these songs I'd rather just kill myself.

So they have that in common with U2.

That one guy was rapping UPSIDE DOWN

Jeff has talked about his dislike for temporal buffs with Zelda but also with Persona 4, and i'm really confused about the latter since i can't think of a turn based rpg that has permanent buffs. Like every jrpg has buffs and debuffs to cast. And comparing those things from turn-based games and real time action games like zelda also makes no sense to me. In persona you have infinite time to sit on the turn and think about the next move ,you have no acctual time limit and a turn limit is not the same thing.It's not rocket science.

Jeff's the kinda dude who will always pick the warrior/barbarian class when given the opportunity. He just wants to hit stuff.

Are you saying Jeff is a Soldier 76 player?

Well he totally is.

I'm with Jeff in that I never use buffs or debuffs.

 

[Meneses]

I hate using buffs and debuffs too.

 

[LiK]

I think I have to side with Jeff about Zelda. I only completed the opening area and making my way to the next story quest but so far it's been okay.

 

[Catvoca]

Same, I barely ever use them.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Buffs and debuffs are where the most broken shit from RPGs are and that's always fun.

Not sure if its the same for Jeff, but my issue with temporary buff effects in single player games is that they're often balanced very poorly with a negative return on your time investment.

In MMO's they're usually tuned as a necessity - you cannot beat the hardest content without buffs and consumables. But in single player games, outside of the occasional difficult boss fight, if you instead hit the enemy that turn, your overall damage ends up higher. Buff food is a similar problem - if you take the time it took to find and cook food, and instead use it grind and level up, or find a better weapon, you'll do more damage/progress faster on average.

[mnz]

Well he totally is.

I know. He's someone who picks the soldier class in Mass Effect.

Yup, you can break Nioh with them for example.
