Slow week so far? 
I've been spoiled the last few weeks.

I wonder if Johnny V can still tell stories about giving NBA players PSPs full of porn on the podcast?
That bombcast is permanently on my iPod. Hilarious from start to finish.

I initially wanted Dan to not tell Drew anything but maybe he should now. Drew is terrible at the game and he's clearly not enjoying it. Or maybe Jason should sit with him instead even if that would mean no video guys working.

Having Jason sit in when it's all rolling isn't a bad idea.

Just watched the latest MGSScanlon and goddamn.. Drew's playthrough is like a perfect storm of everything going wrong every step of the way..
Seems like most of his problems stems from not having a grasp on the mechanical logic in the game though. There isn't many other games that reward experimentation as much as Metal Gear, but Drew just seems afraid to try and instead bangs his head against the wall trying the same things over and over. In this episode he even says he feels that there are only one way to take out guards, which couldn't be further from the truth.
I'm looking forward to them trying out MGS2 after this, but I hope Drew starts to wrap his brain around what kind of (very weird) game MGS is. Otherwise I feel like that game will just end of feeling like a chore for him as well, even with first person aiming.

"Lastest stories" list and Patrick in on 8 out of ten of them. They are mostly trailers and news I already know.

even the fact that it's so self-serious is a joke. except when it's not, and then that's a joke.
in other words, best series.
Which is this?
Who?
Hmm weird it was scheduled for 3pm.

MGS does a good job of this, as does MGS3.
The others kind of try to walk a weird line where Kojima simultaneously feels like he should be serious like a movie and funny like a video game.
Ground Zeroes is where I feel like he took the wheel and drove that car in to the wall.
Yeh!!!!!

He's the guy who used to do the news articles before patrick. Loves working out and stuff. You'll love him.
Schedule-kun got FUCKED UP last night, partied till dawn, Buckfast was involved, it wasn't pretty.
I think Schedule-kun needs to go on a long vacation if you know what I mean..

plz vinny we're your original kids please dont forget about us
He told me that you're his firstborn son.
"That puck is not gonna hatch, brother. Let it go.
Is that a hockey dig?"
To prove that everything is controversial, I remember that episode having a lot of detractors because they thought Johnny talked too much or whatever. It's one of the best Bombcast episodes ever.
Oh my god this is hilarious.

No hate or anything, I mean I enjoy it but like, how is Drew so bad at Metal Gear? Even my casual friends I've played through the series with had less trouble. It's crazy. I hope he's still able to enjoy the rest of the series.

I see you remember him. Well, he's back. expect more articles and fitness tips soon.
What if this whole time we've been thinking all those plane games he plays are really hard and require manuals and detailed instructions, but he was just bad at those too?
Look at the game.

I have a theory that drew never played the PSone growing up and was an N64 kid instead. So he was exposed to well crafted, more finely tuned 3d experiences whereas PSX gamers were cutting their teeth on rougher and not-as-well designed 3D gaming experiences, giving us the gaming logic necessary to better handle something like Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, or a MGS.
Basically, PSX gamers were so used to how nonsensical most 3d games were that they were better prepared and more receptive to the bizarre nature and gameplay mechanics in MGS1, whereas if you grew up in that gen with just an N64 you didn't encounter that as often by the virtue of Nintendo being design genuises and the platform not having as many games in general for one to be exposed to.
of course this all falls apart if he did have a psone. meh.
He had to be on the Hatoful Boyfriend QL. Had to.

I had the same revelation several episodes ago. It shook my entire GB worldview.
He did this to himself.
Hell yes!
