Since he's so talented at finding the worst thing to do in any given game, it shouldn't be a surprise that Vinny is amazing in a game where he can do literally anything.

Omg spoilers.

That didn't actually happen - I just read between the lines. Vinny is getting a little too in to character. Rorie should insist the others do voices too. I think only vinny and Dave are role playing.

absolutely.

And props to Ian for enabling V-Bomb's insanity with that double size spell

Ian would make a good DM. Not to diss Rorie, he is doing fine, but Ian seems to know most of the rules without looking them up and he has a decent imagination.

Okay, I've never played a table top game so maybe I'm missing something, but how 'open' is it? Does the DM have a general summary of the dungeon then just make everything else up? Vinny tried to break the fountain, is the guide detailed enough to tell Rorie what to do if it breaks?

They pretty much make it up. This is starter set so it is a bit more rigid. In that example the book would say there was a fountain and any magic properties it had but the rest would be down to the DM. I think the higher level ones just use the rule book for stats and create the map and senarios from scratch.

At the end of the day it's pretty much whatever the DM allows. If you have a shitty DM it falls apart really quick.

Pathfinder is now weekly!

Thanks guys. Yeah I imagine if a DM lets things get too 'open', all structure is lost. Rorie seems to be doing a great job of keeping it fun but on track.

Weekly? Fuck yes.

I'm busy making an OT so I didn't catch it live, how long till archive you folks reckon?

It's up now.

I like not having Ian as DM. Having an experienced player along with all the newer guys is a nice set up.

Best line of the stream: "V-Bomb cuts off his hands."

Opportunity attacks are a thiiiinnnnnggg.

Oh god, the Youtube comments are hilarious.

I saw only 2 idiots trying to play a cool game and easy -.-

Your sex maniacs idiots

this is a game for children too, you really think that would show some panties,idiots?

HAHAHA those slobs don't know how to play the real game and probably don't have time to use intellect to use the XYZ coordinate axis on the edit video within the game!! Hhaahahaa

Hey Bob Lamont , there IS upskirt shots, you just need to know how to position the cameras in the edit/create your own video mode. You can take ANY MP3, and upload it into the game for the edit mode.

I was liking the video, but the dis-respect to Miku, well. The game is great. The Vocaloids sing a lot better than you realise. Of all the music I have of them, I've only been listening for a month now, but I kinda get the impression, they can sound just like any other singer, the auto-tuning is just the effect they want. As for the language, I don't care it's not English, it's the music itself that's great and Miku has the best voice I've heard for years.

... and as for looking up her skirt... this is the reason Anime gets banned. This is the reason that kind of message appears on the screen in the first place. This is the reason I go to the Google Anime group, some posts a beautiful piece of artwork and a couple of comments later someone calls in "hentai" (porn).
People are going to see you doing this and think of a reason to try and get this game banned, get Miku banned.
Idiots.

Those people would probably fucking explode if they ever saw high tier creeper jeff.

To date still some of the funniest content I've ever seen on the site.

"Jeff... Jeff what are you doing?"
"You can... you can see their panties!"
"Jeff... what are you doing with your life?"

One of my most memorable Giant Bomb moments. The caller also did a good job playing along.


I'm also a fan of the Babysitting Mama segment.

I have a feeling the schedule on the site isn't showing the correct hours for me...
Was the Pokemon X quick look supposed to be 20 minutes ago, or 40 minutes from now?

30 minutes from now for me, it's 5:30 and usually content is up at 6.

God Pokemon looks fucking boring. Exactly the same game it's been for fifteen years.

Brad did blow my mind though, I thought Yellow was the Ash game.

Holy shit at jeff playing with braixen at poe amie.

Also man he is missing a lot of stuff, but it was a fun look nevertheless.

Love how Brad genuinely was surprised "they straight out gate your progress in the world based on what Pokémon you have" :-D

I've never played a Pokémans game myself but even I know you can't do shit in that world by yourself.

I think they mislead him there a little.

Cut is an ability which can be taught to a great many Pokemon, he seemed to be under the impression it meant you'd be stuck with one you don't like because you might need its ability.

I dunno, maybe because Nintendogs is a Puppy training simulator and Pokemon is a battling RPG?

A battling RPG whose main focus are animal-esque creatures which you train?

Quite a few which are quite clearly designed to make young kids and adults alike go "Awww" "That's badass" "That's my favourite!".

It's not really hard to see why. Instead of cute recreations of a real world animal you have imagined creations that are mostly animals.

The game, and TV show especially, really stress being friendly and nice with your Pokemon instead of just treating them like a pile of moves and types. So it makes sense from a theme perspective to add a mode where you can pet them and feed them and whatnot as well as a mechanics benefit for doing it.

Also, who wouldn't want to pet a Fennekin?

From a quick look?
