That's a problem with a lot of shows where the hosts are generally on the same wavelength and very seldom have guests on. I really like Patrick and Alex though, but I definitely agree that the show format itself could greatly benefit from a third chair of different people.

Wii, 360 and to a lesser extent PS3 were extremely supply constrained. Wii didn't last in stock for almost 10 months, I would get a shipment and it would evaporate as soon as I put them on the sales floor. 360 was the same for about 6 months. PS3s were in stock after about 3 months (Price played a huge roll in this). With all of them when getting resupplied you would only get between 2-8 at a time.

Dude, fucking watch Torque!
Bombcast: Torque Is The Greatest Movie Ever Made
Slashfilm podcast with the director
It was made to be a really stupid parody of the Fast and Furious movies. I mean, there's bike-fu!

Who writes like that first tweet?!? It's necronomicon levels of mindfuck how those sentences are put together.

It's just Twitter for you, not always easy when the first 44 characters or so are taken up by @s.
?
Maybe I've been on twitter too long, but it seems pretty conversational to me...
That would be co-winner of the Spike TV 2012 Video Game of the Year Award Jake Rodkin.
I can read it perfectly fine...
the first tweet from jake was a reply to some previous tweet with two other people involved so the @ names are placed in front when he hit the reply button in a conversation. then its his message.
if youre on twitter for a bit, brain learns to adjust to the @names. hashtags can fuck right off, though. I just ignore them
Jake Rodkin will remember this.

Dead Rising 3 looked alright. It's strictly Xbox One exclusive? No PC version hinted at?
Seems unlikely but who knows? I think it looks fun, but not as fun as the previous 2 due to the tight pacing and level structure being written out (not designed with in mind, looks shoehorned).
Wait. That means 11 PM my time.
FUCK
Midnight my time. I won't even be Tuesday anymore!
They've finally missed a Tuesday.

Man, Jeff seemed like he almost had another Bufu moment near the end of that Dead Rising QL, when Brad tried to go for that steamroller. Actually pretty funny, but I get the impression that the dude's been pretty stressed of late.

There have been more WHAT-ARE-YOU-DOING moments with him and Brad lately, definitely.

Got a time stamp?
Yeah, he really wanted Brad to go do a story mission instead of dicking around. Haha.
I did too....there is a finite amount of just whacking zombies that I can take. But it was sad to see the story mission was basically just a fetch quest.
Oh yeah, sure. All the demos that we've seen have consisted of mindless killing, so seeing more of the mission types would have been nice. I'm sure we'll see more this Friday.
Anyway, I'm really looking forward to the bombcast. They really went in on the Kinect last generation, so I expect the same if it's less than stellar now.
Around 36:50 you can hear it in his voice.
But yeah, Brad spent the QL pretty much doing nothing, lol.
He spent the QL doing what i'll be doing when I get the game. Just fucking around.
Should have immediately started playing on Nightmare mode to get the 72 Hour clock and some direction. The way Dead Rising used to be structured made it move pretty quickly and there was always something to do, and you could choose not to do the story quests anyway. Now, with no time restrictions or sense of urgency, a lot of the tension of the gameplay seems gone. One of the defining features of the series is now just a difficulty setting.

If you're new to the DR series I recommend going nightmare mode from the get go. At least for me, having a time limit was a huge part of the charm and gave you that nudge to keep things moving.
In DR1 and 2 there were multiple things that were on time limits at the same time and a huge part of the game was figuring out how to complete all those missions within the time frame you are given.
Some of the best parts of this series is when I had 12 survivors following me as I was racing to get to a particular point and I was getting dangerously close to being out of time and the game would end with a horrible ending.
That's true(and I'll do the same), but it ends up being a case of what is fun to play isn't necessarily to watch. And they like to have QLs focus on all aspects of a game.
I'm going to play Nightmare mode when I get the game, I would have liked to see him jump into it for a bit. I haven't seen it at all in any footage.

That's the point of dead rising though. To kill hordes of zombies.
Take that out and you lose what makes it interesting.
Not really, the point is to complete objectives and rescue survivors while having the clock and the zombie hordes breathing down your neck. Killing zombies by itself isn't really that appealing for more than an hour. "Great, I made a wheelchair with three assault rifles strapped onto it so I can mow down zombies." *blam blam blam* "Well now that I did that, what do I do now?"

I dunno, the objectives honestly were more like chores.
Trying to manage multiple objectives with limited time and resources always seemed like the only interesting thing about the series to me.

DR2 you made a lightsaber out of diamonds and a flashlight. And an airhorn made of a traffic cone and spray paint that made zombie heads explode. Also fire extinguisher froze and shattered zombies

Flashbacks of the PS4 stream?
Yeah. I was thinking to myself there must be a bit of workplace animosity between the two. We all have co-workers like that. Spend all that time together and you just get on each other's nerves.

Spend enough time together like they do and you start to treat them like siblings growing up in the same house.
