You pronounce 'v' as 'wii'? Not 'vee'?

How long does it generally take for GB to fix their uploads? I'm getting antsy - I want to see the AFIRE!
Let's just get that out of the way...

I will sometimes write Resi Evil on the Internet but I never say that when talking, then its always Resident Evil. I probably do write Resi Evil less now though as I've grown up.
Here in Germany Resident Evil is very often shortened to just "Resi".

It's going to be real weird if they continue making Lightning games... I mean, the next one would have to be Lightning Returns 2: Final Fantasy XIII-4.
Square-Enix is crazy.

I've always pronounced it "10-2". People who pronounce the number 10 as the letter "x" are dumb.
That is correct.
On the other hand this whole discussion is way more effort than this sub par FF entry deserves.
It's free on PS+ at the moment, but I agree, that really put me off the game.

Not sure why I'm all of a sudden asking about this, but its on my mind.
Do many other people not post much on the GB forums because they feel a bit disjointed? I can't put my finger on why, but it never has felt like a comfortable experience and every time I think to myself 'hey maybe i'll start reading/posting there' I end up not. Maybe it's because everything has it's own forum and I prefer simplified forum (like GAF) structures. Just wondering if I'm the weirdo here.

Yeah, that kinda put me off of it.

I haven't watched the Mercenary Kings quicklook, but I'm guessing Brad didn't beat the boss in time and had to go look for it again?
Three things about that:
1) You can beat a boss before it goes anywhere. It's easily doable and basically counts on you not wasting a ton of time.
2) There are in-game body mods that let you see which boss site the boss is at. So even if it runs away, you can check the map to go find it again.
3) You're given loadout options for a reason. If you take a boss mission, it's expected you grab your shotgun or high-powered rifle. Taking a spray-and-pray gun without mods for a boss is like going in to a Monster Hunt for a flying monster with a hammer.
Mind you, I also think Mercenary Kings is super boring and the Metal Slug comparisons are skin-deep since the game isn't designed nearly as lovingly or expects half as much from the player as Metal Slug games do.

The GB forums have always felt weird, maybe it's because of the pagination? Or difficult to read quoting? I dunno, just never liked them either. Also, some of the mods are insufferable and so far up the culture of GB's arse, they can't see daylight.
TBH, there's no real point to any other entertainment forums apart from GAF. The cross-section of people here is great, with lively OT's covering pretty much everything. The only other forums I post at are profession related.
Set audio delay to 450ms in the settings of your video player.
Sure didn't look like it. And it didn't look like a case of "Brad being bad at video games" here, either.

I just post here because this is on GAF and I'm here anyway. I have no interest in reading a billion different forums for every podcast I listen to (which is a shame, because some of those forums have cool stuff happening). Those small communities also tend to get pretty circlejerky.
Thanks!
You can also just use your walkie talkie to show the location of the boss. Costs 3 bp.

neither UPFs are up, yet? how unprofessional.

Having done it pretty much every time, yes. The boss running away is decided by time, not damage.

GB forums are Good IMO I mostly post news or reviews there but there are some pretty cool cats there and also spam!
But Brad wasn't wasting his time trying to get to the boss in an attempt to capture it. He was running from place to place fairly quickly, and it would still run away, forcing him to rush to its next location.
Normal UPF was up earlier but had sync issues.

I can't say without having watched it, but escapes are not a guaranteed thing. You're expected to have a loadout appropriate for the boss. If you're plinking away at it with a weak gun, of course it will take a while.

Just watching Alex's Encyclopedia Bombastica for Wrestlemania 2000 and I think I'm going to have to get myself a copy of that and No Mercy again soon. I used to absolutely love those games.

Okay, actually watching this Mercenary Kings quicklook, hiding from the boss also causes it to run away.

2048 is pretty fun.
Might try Threes but I dont want to spend money. Is the Android version still a mess? Thats the only thing I heard about it when it was ported over.

Oh, wait.
I was only half paying attention.
Brad keeps leaving the arena and the enemy walks away. There's big lasers showing you where not to go.

I'd also appreciate it.
You should check out Fives.
It did Threes on Android before they ported Threes over. It's free, runs way better, and has some additional things that are cool, like an expert mode (the board is 1 square wider and 1 square taller), Google Play leaderboards, and if you're into it, they also have an undo and randomize next tile button. You get 5 of each free, then you can microtransact for more.
The games basically Threes on Android, except it performs way better and doesn't cost anything. The only difference is it has ads, but if you want you can pay I think $1.99 to remove them, so it's basically the same as Threes.
Yea threes runs like a pile of poop on my moto g. Well, the game itself runs ok, but it takes an age to load, often crashes pocket casts or other apps when it's loading up, and my launcher resets itself when I quit to the home screen. 2048 on the other hand runs like a competent app.
I'm fairly certain you can't leave a boss arena once you've entered it, unless the boss leaves. I've certainly been trapped in the corner by a boss and died before.
Brad just got some shitty RNG there I think, but it is dumb that it can happen at all.
EDIT: Just checked, You CAN NOT leave an active boss area once you've entered it. Unless this is a bug on the PS4 version.
It helps just to log off and log in, thats what always worked for me
The part where Mercenary Kings breaks down is that the map isn't very intuitive. Traversing the level to get anywhere is tedious compared to Monster Hunter.
It's also just not a very fun game to play. It's a fairly basic game slightly elevated by poorly implemented Monster Hunter mechanics.

Thanks, but this hasn't helped. I hope it resolves soon. Wanted to listen to the wrestling podcast before wrestlemania.
Clear cache?
It was always a structure thing for me. That, and the diehard GB community doesn't have the best rep. I've tried a few times, but I never make it past one post.
Hell, I've always felt off-kiltered about posting on GAF (again, due to reputation, structure). I only recently decided to really start to earlier this week. Seeing how that goes.
Structure is a big one, but ultimately I'm a one forum man.

So what are your guys opinion on GB Chicago Yay or Nay ? I am happy with it as long as lang is in every Chicago show.

Subete no aware
Lang and Max are too much for me. If it was just Lang, I'd be cool with it.
Also, I'm firehawk12 on GB. I'm surprised they didn't just post the video on the site itself?

I'm listening to friday's podcast and the whole reaction to Alex's comment to that woman on the subway is ridiculous. She's the one who creeped on his phone and asked him what the game was.
