I wonder who will be playing Hyrule Warriors.
I can't bring myself to watch anymore Metal Gear Scanlon. Drew gets frustrated so easily because he is so bad with the game. I don't think a playthrough of MGS2 would help much either. It's not so much the actual controls as much as the mechanics of it all. He's oblivious to the nature of the game.

Hell of a Quick Look lineup tomorrow. My productivity will suffer.
Dan definitely, with probably Jeff or Brad.
I thought he was playing a lot better in part 7.
It's an interesting watch for me as I don't know much about the game. I can't really tell if he's at fault or if it's the game's fault when he gets frustrated. I've been learning towards the latter since Dan hasn't exactly super enlightening as to how he's supposed to do many of the stealth sections ("Just run through and punch the wolves!"). Either way, it's been fun to watch.

It will almost certainly be Jeff.
I think they know full well that him shitting on the game will have more views/be more entertaining.

I mean the games get progressively better gameplay-wise as the series went on. I'm just savagely anticipating the madness that is MGS2.

Man, watching Drew play this is painful. I can't wait for them to be done with MGS and move onto 2 and 3. I hope he understands how these games play at that point. I do really enjoy the commentary on these but watching him get the same thing wrong 20 times in a row is becoming a real bummer. Dan really, really needs to tell him what to do way earlier.

Isn't the whole point of the series is to be as unguided as possible?
To be fair, it's his job. It's not like he's pointing a gun at his head.

To be fair most of part 7 is just him button mashing.
I give him props for figuring out the ketchup trick pretty quickly. I really hope they do it for MGS2, Drew certainly seems inclined to want to play the newer ones.

Yeah, but at a certain point they need to get things moving. They'll be on MGS 2 in December at this point..

Shocking twist: Jeff's Inexplicable Game Love kicks in and he enjoys it a ton, and guiltily plays it to completion at home.

I just learned that naomi hunter is voiced by jennifer hale, wow. can't believe i did not know that even after playing that game like 10 times. Also i hope Drew remembers his stun grenades for the stair part

Killer combo.

I have to keep reminding myself that I've beaten these games repeatedly so my knowledge of these areas are just as intimate as Dan's. OTOH, I don't think Drew has any conception on how to "game" a game. By now he should know that holding H button with FAMAS equipped gets you nowhere and at least know that enemies always have a routine. It's a shame because I like Drew the most but MGS is totally not for him.
Dan is trying to let Drew figure everything out for himself to give him the purest experience possible. I agree with this approach

I played MGS for the first time this year and the biggest surprise in the entire game was realizing that she's been voice acting for so long. The first time I heard her I figured it was either Jennifer Hale or one of the gals who did Cate Archer.
You must be a subscriber to the Patrick Klepek School of Overwroughtitude. I'm trying to think of how you can savagely anticipate something... and it involves slaughtering cute animals while licking your lips as you simultaneously write in your diary about next weekend's prom date with Carl Weathers. You obviously have four arms. Sweet!

She's also Emma in Metal Gear Solid 2. Crazy.

Yeah, that was a bit weird. Though so was Emma as a character. Well let's be honest, the entire game was weird.

It's the NGBO.
Looks like the Hyrule Warriors Quick Look is gone from the schedule?
I would love to see them try, but I at this point I think Brad is the only one who is willing to grind to the level requirement. Maybe he could find enough people outside Giant Bomb, like Kessler, who would be willing help.
I watched people streaming most of the raid yesterday, and it is by far the best I saw from the game so far. Kinda baffling why Bungie thought it was a good idea to put the best stuff in a game mode, that most people will probably never play. If they had put some of the ideas they had there in the Strike and Story missions it would be a much better game.

The thing is, MGS is closer to pacman than a stealth game. You can basically sprint everywhere just staring at the radar and avoiding the cones of sight. The ai patterns are all super straight forward, and it's not hard to guess where the guards will potentially make a turn. Same is mostly true for MGS2, though they made it slightly more stealthy.
It wasn't really until MGS3 where you had to actually take your time and use caution, because you no longer have a radar to rely on.

I thought it was pretty neat with the whole killer AI thing and seeing what happened in the three bases

Shouldn't it be Hateful Boyfriend?
Hatoful is a pun of heartful and hato (pigeon in japanese).
I thought the Dan/drew combo has been great.
Already produced some of the best quick looks.
