Not trying to puff my tweet up with LOLepicreference but rather does any duder want either of the codes for these? I have it on Steam already and they came packed in with other games. Note that these do NOT activate on Steam. Just legal codes with a basic Windows installation.

If I could play the game, I'm so down for a code.

I'll take a code if they're still available. I'd love to do a post-mortem on the ambitious game.
 
So, I bought Fibbage after watching UPF. Looks like such a cool party game. I actually had my eye on it when I saw it show up on the PSN store on Tuesday, but was unsure about the quality. After UPF, I was sold. Also, it's only $6.99 (and it's cross-buy between PS4 and PS3, but not Vita). To test it out I went to fibbage.com on my PC via Firefox and tried the same on my Vita (I don't have (but will soon get) a smart phone). The PC worked, but my Vita, although it could load up the website, wouldn't register my info into the game. So, since I needed at least two players, I logged into another browser (Chrome) and that worked. The aesthetic of the website is a bit lacking, but I suppose it doesn't matter much as long as it works very well (which it does). I just hope the questions don't repeat much, but for $6.99 it's a no brainer. Maybe DLC is forthcoming.

Hope a EU release for Vita is not too far off. Europe didn't get You Don't Know Jack so I'm a bit nervous.

Vinny posted in here?

He must be bored.

If you're reading this Vinny, what do you think about that new SLeeping Dogs online game?

Jacob Jones and the Bigfoot Mystery looks charming as heck. I got extremely excited when I saw it plays like Layton/Puzzle Agent. Always happy when a quick look shows off a game I've never heard of that looks awesome.

I wish more people played the Puzzle Agent games. They were weird in the best way.
Exact same reaction here. I loved the Puzzle Agent games (have never played Layton), so I'm down for Jacob Jones. It's also only 5 bucks.

No comment on Dan not knowing Goethe yet? Seems like something this thread would jump on.

Because I've been matched up in the same team as people like Dan who single-handedly lost my team the game. There is just no way of coming back once you got someone on your team who doesn't know anything about the game. Waste of 30-40 minutes. You can probably see how that is annoying.

Enlighten me how a beginner can start learning how to play then (aside from playing against bots), because I don't get it. This wasn't even a ranked game.

Oh cool, GB now sends out emails reminding you your annual sub is about to be renewed. That always bugged me because it would just be a surprise on your statement.

Really hope Fibbage gets a UK release. After watching the guys play it I wanted to get it for my friends to play during Extra Life.

Yeah, but I hope it's a proper UK-centric version, not just a UK release. They did something similar with YDKJ, but Cookie Masterson was replaced with a British dude IIRC. Ideally they just get Cookie to replace some of the very US cultural specific questions.

Every time I try to watch a video on GS, the video seems to be hitching up and stopping and starting. It makes videos on there un-watchable. Anyone else having that problem, and/or knows how to fix it? I would rather not go to YT if I can avoid it.

As a poster said above, there is a tutorial that teaches you most of the very basics. Then you're encouraged by the game to play a few matches with bots to get the hang of the game flow. In the end it's just a courtesy thing, if you have no idea what you're doing you should probably not be jumping in just yet.

Very jumpy in Firefox - but I find most videos in that browser are. Tried Chrome?

Also, you're watching this aren't you?

Heh, yeah, that's the one. I use Chrome and I've tried it in both Opera and Firefox. Oh well.

Anyways, as for Dota 2, when I tried to play the game I didn't find the tutorials all that great for actually teaching me the game. Playing against bots is a whole different world than playing with and against actual humans. I didn't do much better than Dan in the few matches I played, and fondly remember being called a "faggot" etc. by my teammates.
 
I haven't been following any of the MGSV stuff but for some reason I'm starting to get excited about it. I blame Dan.

I guess it could be because people in the Single Draft queue are nicer, but I never had that problem. I think I watched a video explaining the basic concepts of the game (last hitting, lanes, creeps etc.) since there was no ingame tutorial when I started, played a few matches with bots and jumped in.
 
I think I have to unsubscribe. I love the content and everything the guys do, but I just can't find the time to watch everything I find interesting.

I think I can get my fill with just the quick looks now, but we'll see.

Does anyone here watch everything they do? How in the world can you keep up?
 
Watching UPF today on Firefox I also got the hitching at the beginning. Cant switch over to Chrome though as GB videos have just started crashing altogether when using that now.

I watch most of the stuff they do, and listen to all the podcasts. I listen to the podcast on my commute, and have videos I don't care that much about in the background when doing other stuff.

Have you tried their HTML5 player? It works like a charm for me, while the Streaming player hitches up. If nothing works, just download.

I used to watch every single quick look, but these days I find myself only watching the ones for games I'm really interested in. I think it's a combination of me having less time, them putting out more preimum content and that the quick looks just don't feel as fun anymore.

Half of me is totally entertained by Dan playing Dota and the other half of me is kind of upset about it.

That first half takes priority though.
 
Dan trolling with the Dota game was a funny idea but the length of a game of Dota really does cancel out any entertainment value that could be had from it. Kind of a waste of a segment.
