Don't read Dan Teasdale's top 10 if you are super sensitive about Brothers spoilers.

I am not even that hot on Brothers but it is a shame that people are shitting on it (e.g. Jeff, Teasdale) just to troll Brad. Does a disservice to the people who made it.

Ergh, I skimmed through it (ironic considering what I'm about to say) and I think the joke might have been funny had he not admitted to only playing 10 minutes of the demo. Shitting on a game you've essentially not even played it dumb, even in service of a joke. Especially shitty to post spoilers about it too in that case.

 

[Papercuts]

Yeah, eesh. Dan's list comes off as petty over making a joke, admits to not even playing more than the demo yet spoils key points showing he likely just watched the game or something.

I can hear Vinny laugh.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

guys i'm sure that the collection of 1s and 0s that is brothers isn't that sad that a person made a joke about it

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

I really don't care about Brothers and have no desire to ever play it, I just think that Dan guy pushed the joke too hard in his list and ended up just coming off as an ass.

 

[Zornack]

Well, I think Dan's list is a good way to cap off the Brother's jokes. So there.

 

[popo]

I don't mind Jeff shitting on it in the podcasts because it seems like he honestly didn't care for the game, but I think Dan Teasdale's list did the unthinkable and killed the "10 better games than Brothers" joke for me.

There are lots of games Jeff is not in to though. I remember a bombcast a while back when he was just naming random games that were "better than brothers" to annoy Brad. Super funny, not if I had been involved in making that game though.

I guess he does the same for dota but Valve are a much bigger target who already have a wildly successful game.

That's okay. I an not afraid of people having differing opinions. This isn't the GOTY thread

Oh I hope he likes it. Gravity Rush remains my favourite Vita game, yes ahead of Persona 4 Golden. Only game I got all the trophies and dlc for.

Same here, though I'm saving the DLC for later. Will play it as we get closer to GR2's release.

Yup. It's still fucking Assassin's Creed. Had me fooled for a while there.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Can't wait for Brad's top ten where Brothers is every entry except for dota.

Wait.

If dota is Brads #1...

We get to watch some dota when they make the video.

Awesome.

 

[kvk1]

God yes.

So I just reinstalled windows, and for some reason now when I play 60fps gb videos with the html 5 player, the video gets really choppy when I go fullscreen. Anyone know why this would be?

 

[Hypnopompy]

How's the day 3 podcast for spoilers?

I thought it was just going to be that Japanese thing Midnight Brown did. Great song. Apparently he did it phonetically, which is pretty rad.

/edit holy fuck these guys are awesome. This is like randomly stumbling across Doll$boxx a few months back.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

I'm really shitty I only just started getting into these guys, had awful internet so never bothered with any of this stuff.

I love how the subtitles say GEROGE and GEORGE some other time.

 

[Jintor]

I love how the subtitles say GEROGE and GEORGE some other time.

apparently it's a transliteration of the japanese word 'jouji', which means basically a person who's like a drone or a robot. Facts!

In a way, I'm jealous. You have a lot of awesome content to catch up on.

The new member shirt will be coming out in January so they'll probably do it then.

They are really milking the better than Brothers stuff.

[bistromathics]

It bothers me when someone calls the Ace Attorney games a visual novel, even if it's reminiscent of those games, because it suggests that it's more simplistic than it is.

ehhhhhhh...they're pretty simplistic. Granted I've only played the first one and T&T, but they were really more visual novel than adventure game. Like a 75%/25% split.

Is it because of the first-person perspective instead of a third-person perspective? If so, then would it make the AAI spin-off an adventure game instead? And if that's the case, is Telltale's The Walking Dead more of a visual novel than an adventure game?

In my opinion? Absolutely.

Very much so yes.

Interesting. Classifying genres isn't something I think about too much, but I've always thought of a visual novel as a game:

- Played in a first-person perspective.
- With no fail states, only endings.
- With a limited amount of puzzles or none at all.
- Based around dialogue choices and with a whole lot of internal monologue.

Oh I still think visual novels are "games". The "non-game" classification that gets thrown around is one of my pet peeves. If you interact with the software resulting in progression for entertainment purposes, it's a video game.

The Ace Attorney games I've played fall more into the 'visual novel' category primarily due to the minimal direct control involved in the game's progression.

He got that from this blog on GB: http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/off...-2013-albums-list-blog-thing-whoop-1465430/#0

Making my way down the list now, this could be very dangerous.

We should start a fan club. Jeff could be our leader.

Yup, this happened.

If you read up on charisma.com it's because they're more or less electro-rap daria

This is why I love the internet. Already bought one album/EP because of that post and on the verge of buying a couple more. None of this stuff is even related to games but I wouldn't have discovered it otherwise.

That game you linked doesn't involve Tupac.

Did Brad ever talk about why he doesn't care for Starcraft any more? Just DOTA took over or what?

 

[Alo81]

Did Brad ever talk about why he doesn't care for Starcraft any more? Just DOTA took over or what?

If you watch todays video he mentions it.

Something about lacking a social aspect in Starcraft and every loss is extra crushing because all the responsibility is on yourself.

At least in Dota when your team loses you can all share the pain
