Definitely worth playing.

I would watch a Beyond ER. Quick look was pretty good other than the helicopter bit going on too long.
Yeah, the scene on the train played out pretty differently for me.
It's interesting how the choice result in very small, but varied differences to the story, but nothing really effects the overall narrative, while the choice in something like TWD feel huge and like they change the scope of everything, when none of them really effect the overall narrative.
Edit: Man, I never even made it to Baxtertown. I never saw like, half of that chapter. That's pretty incredible.
I bet they'll cover it in depth on Bombin in the AM on Friday.

OMG Bigfoot taking down the Berlin wall is such a classic bit.
What would they even say?
"Welp, Watch_Dogs was delayed."
"Yep."
"OK, on to the next hot release news."
Lol I was thinking the same thing...I'm not sure any of them are particularly interested
in anything
kidding...!

I love nothing more than hearing Jeff rag on Santa Rosa malls.
Jeff has stated that it's the next gen launch title he was most interested in.
And I think there's a lot to discuss. Such as: What does this do to the PS4 launch lineup? That's now looking way thin.
I think they're interested in the game, just not the speculation or punditry. That seems to be what Scoops+Wolf have taken on and they do a good job with it, IMO.

I don't think that was that much in the large scale. In my case, I tend to be wary of UBISOFT games to actually be that hyped.
If the loss of one game makes the launch line up thin, then it was thin to begin with. Such is the way launch line ups tend to go.
yup. I found Dukes pretty dull but if Vinny goes in cold, and Ian doesn't ruin it, Crystal Cave could give some great oh shit moments. Although 2 years in I am guessing all the bloodstain messages might ruin the surprise.

Sounds like the life of a Dota player.
Just finished the proper first 6 levels of Völgarr the Viking today. It's a hard little game but if Brad ever sees this, here's two tips:
1. Use spears more. Especially on the boss you are stuck on
2. Every boss has a very predictable pattern and they don't deviate from it.
Took me two tries to kill the fish boss just by jumping around and throwing spears around.

Jeff and Scoops QL over the cam involving battles, trades, getting over the nostalgia, and ravenous collectathoning of mons!
I actually never used a spear on him. You can totally kill him with the sword. It's super fast especially if you have the fire one.

VInny got invaded lol
It's probably one of the longer/harder sections of the game in my opinion. If you know exactly how to get through the rotating staircase part, it can be quick, but my first time through there took forever. The caves can be pretty slow going too if you try to fight everything down there, and Seath isn't exactly easy. The fact that there is no bonfire close to Seath doesn't help either.

I know right? Feels good turning the hunter into the hunted.

Stay hollow and you won't get invaded.
I know GB chat is alway terrible but it seems worse than usual on these DS streams. A shouting match between those who want everyone to let Vinny play in silence verses those shouting instructions for what he should do and random spoilers, and of course everyone is a DS expert.
Just stay offline or stay hollow. Not everyone, but if you are still playing after 2 years and not deep in to PvP then griefing newbies is all that there is left.

I realized this week that I have never played a Pokemon game in my life... And I'm not saying that sarcisticly or anything like that... I dunno how I managed that...
Anyway... I'm kinda curious about the whole thing... Heck I don't even know what the game really is other than the very basic idea. Anyway, I don't have a 3DS so maybe one day.

It may not be in the spirit of Dark Souls, but this stream has been great so far with the summoned players.
The comment on stream about the art design being influenced also makes me really wish for a D&D game in the style of Dark Souls.

What if....TWO QUICK LOOKS! O_O
JVB Quick Look from GB HQ and a Scoops solo Quick Look from Chitown. Of the same battles too
Make it so, V-Bomb!
Yeah I'm not quite sure about Vinny summoning players. Part of the fun of watching Vinny play Dark Souls is watching him figure out the bosses. Other players helping him steamroll stuff kinda hinders that. On the other hand if he is going to be invaded I think it's good for Vinny to have a posse that has his back.
Don't know what you're talking about, the chat is pretty good during these LOLS features. What do you want? Everyone to stay silent and not write anything? It's not like Vinny reads it while he plays so it's pretty irrelevant what people suggest. Most important thing: the chat stays civil. Two of the people that Vinny summoned were from the chat btw which is why they didn't lead and let Vinny go first through the Crystal Caves (Piff, Restless).
Anyway, great segment today.
edit: Okay, now he's shown Vinny the New Londo shortcut... which is not cool.

What looked bad to me was some of the character model/world interactions. Anywhere Vinny had even the slightest bit of agency over the character, those mo-cap animations looked really weird against the static game environment - sliding and snapping to all kinds of stuff. Maybe it's just that uncanny valley, but it seemed almost laughably unnatural...running down the aisle of the train was the worst.

Yeah, its why I wish it was Vinny and someone else who hasn't played the game. What makes it more annoying is that they make it known that they are aware that people watching want to watch Vinny play the game on his own.

I for one am happy that Vinny got shown a shortcut.
It wasn't too bad though. He died and just beat the 4K by himself.
But yeah, I hope the next episodes don't become too coop-heavy.
Well, two of the dudes who were in the chat let Vinny lead most of the time.
