It is a lot of coverage, but I think most people are very interested in what the game is like, whether or not they are getting it. Personally, I've liked seeing such extensive coverage on such a high-grade release. I was particularly hoping for a comparison video, so I'm glad they're doing a last-gen QL.
Also, it's been really cool seeing their opinion on the game degrade with every showing. The Destiny PS3 QL in particular is one long, boring slog where they let out their disappointment with the game. The final minutes are especially telling.

oh this is hilarious, and I understand why Alex said "Vinny will do whatever he gets asked"
Let's give Drew a break on his MGS shenanigans. Not everyone can immediately understand game mechanics. I once played four square with a baseball bat... and four years later, I'm out of prison and a well-adjusted individual.
HOWEVER, even a bat-wielding maniac on the tarmac knows to not pop diazepam until you're ready to take a shot! It's written on the frickin' box!

Not even remotely. What's wrong with wanting to drink shit that tastes good?
What's that supposed to mean?
Nothing. People buy $100+ bottles of scotch because it tastes good. Taking that stuff and dumping Coke into it is fucking stupid, because if you only want to get drunk and prefer it to taste the Coke, you should use some $15 vodka instead.
It'd be like buying a $2000 HDTV and using it only to watch VHS tapes over a coax connection.
But it was a gift for them to use as they please. He drank it in the method he prefers and didn't hamper anyone else's enjoyment of it. It's not like he emptied the contents into a half full jug of Pepsi and swished it around.
I'm more off-put by Brad and to a lesser extent Alexis being snobs about the whole thing.
So anything that contains a few ingredients is gross? Don't be ridiculous.

Man, on one hand Dan is telling Drew exactly what to do all of the time. On the other, we'd probably just be getting to the tank if he didn't.
During his fight with Sniper Wolf, all I could think of is that carnival game where the duck goes back and forth while the shooter tries to hit the bullseye. Drew was the duck.

I love drinking don't get me wrong, but it can be like taking medicine sometimes. Even the nicer varieties of beer, rum, whiskey, etc. I've had doesn't compare to how good Mountain Dew tastes.

Don't understand why people are giving you shit. You are absolutely right that soft drinks taste better, I don't understand how people can taste otherwise.
If you think liking the taste of alcoholic drinks somehow makes you more adult you need to fuck off.
I see where you're coming from, Jim. The majority of alcohol tastes like mouth rinse and I wouldn't think about touching it unless it was supposed to serve a certain purpose (getting wasted). That said, wine is good in its own right. #teamvino
Here's how I feel about coffee.

And you know this how?
I suppose I never learned to enjoy the taste of bitterness in any capacity and that's shaped my opinions fairly significantly. I hate dark chocolate. I typically hate the kind of beer that beer connoisseurs get erections over. I hate the funky aftertaste of diet soda. I love whiskey but I hate the burning feeling as it goes down. And more than anything else, I hate coffee.
I won't pretend like my opinions are normal, and pardon me if I inadvertently do.

Different strokes, man. I love high hop beers and porters, wine that tastes like earth and dirt, and whiskey that burns. Hate sugary, sweet alcohol.
Apparently tvguide.com is not TV Guide. That's what Alex said atleast?

I'm kinda with him on that one. The taste of the alcohol itself is what makes any soda taste better to me really. But then again, I have never tasted any expensive shit so I can't say anything about that.
Purely in terms of taste, yes. I've had really nice scotch on a few occasions, and while I enjoyed getting intoxicated from it, the act of consuming it was less than pleasant. Even in terms of alcohol, I'd rather have some Maker's Mark or Crown Royal or even a few ice cold 40's.
I don't think we'll come to an agreement, but hey, people like different shit, so enjoy what you enjoy!
In terms of pure quality, of course the $100 scotch is going to beat out a mass-produced soda, but if I'm like "man, I just want a tasty drink right now, alcohol or not" I am gonna go for the can of coke over the ridiculously priced vodka in a dumb looking bottle.

I liked beer right away. I liked Jameson and rum right away. Bourbon took a little longer. I've never really gained a proper appreciation for scotch (not a big fan of the peat).

I'm one of those crazy fucks who, unless I'm having espresso, likes coffee brewed strong and black as the night. I know people who put like 4-5 creamers and sugars each before they can drink it, and that seems crazy to me.
Regular Mountain Dew tastes like chemicals now that I've given it up. Throwback tastes good though.
And is it ales that typically have high hops? IPAs seem to be all the rage, especially with craft brewers, and that's the kind of beer I have no taste for. Stouts though, oh man. Really really good.

actually I'll revise my opinion to this. throwback is fine. regular tastes AWFUL if you aren't used to the taste of HFCS (I've avoided soda with that in it for almost a decade when possible).
Stout is a kind of ale. Any beer can have lots of hops. Craft brewers in the US tend to add lots of hops to a bunch of different styles. Many America pilsners are quite hoppy, like Firestone Walker Pivo Pils.
Rogue Shakespeare Stout is quite hoppy.
Sam Adams released an imperial pilsner years back that had more hops in it than nearly any other beer I have heard of. The amount they added was more than double the amount of hops I put in my already ridiculously hopped double ipa.
You must have missed the Destiny review thread.

I re-subbed a week ago and just watched this. It's absolutely amazing, worth it for Jeff's reactions alone.
I always assume an implied "in my humble opinion" and expect others to approach posts in the same fashion, unless the information given is clearly denoted as factual of course.

Dan has a tendency to use some amazing choices of phrase.
"A Marilyn Monroe kinda thing"
"Some surgery type stuff going on"

I may as well start a DIPA drip into my veins.
I think Dan just wants to avoid making Drew feel bad for being bad at the game.
