Finally watched the Metal Gear 5 video with Danny and Dan, and holy crap it looks really fun and awesome. I wonder if Dan and Drew will be done with the rest of the games by the time it comes out.
I haven't seen the latest one but man that sounds great already.demo derby is starting to turn into some wheel of the worst style nightmare and it's amazing
Demo Derby needs a facecam similar to MGScanlon. The video should all be 4:3 so nothing will be lost.
Laughing Brad is the best..
Goddamn that last Demo Derby was fucking incredible. Fast turning into my favourite feature on the site for sure.
edit: I decided to start a Youtube account where I'm gonna upload Bombcast moments, both classics that haven't been uploaded yet, and great moments from current Bombcasts (ie. the Dreamcast discussion a few episodes back or Dan's third nipple). So give me a shout if you have an example of a new or old Bombcast moment you can't find on Youtube!
Jesus christ at all the whining in the UnPro video.
They act as if Giantbomb hasn't trolled or ruined a multiplayer match before.
"Giantbomb's at it again!"
haha that Arma QL won't be topped in terms of multiplayer trolling.

Someone should do a list for all the Musou QLs the duders have done over the years. Kinda wanna rewatch them now that I have an understanding for how those games work.
they did QLs for um, two of the Gundam musous. the older one had vinny and jeff and the most recent one was brad and jeff i think
People comparing the ARMA trolling to this DOTA thing are being silly. They're very different.
Most people have no idea what Arma mutliplayer is like. I know it's supposed to be realistic, but it looks like a shooter, and in general, shooters are not games you take as seriously. If someone was getting killed or something in CoD or Battlefield I wouldn't bat an eye, because The matches are quick and it's no big deal.
MOBAs (And team RTSes, for that matter) are different. There's an investment in a match. Yes the community CAN be dicks, but they can also be very polite. It's not that uncommon to see 2-5 minute pauses in matches of Dota while someone goes to the bathroom.
What Dan did was a dick move. Is it something to get so furious about I'd threaten to cancel my sub? No (Although I admit a petty part of me does like the idea a bit.). Is it enough to demand Dan apologize or he's removed from the staff or something? Of course not, and he won't anyway. There's nothing to be done about it so talking about it really isn't required.
But it was still a jerk thing to do.

Playing a game he's never played before and trying to figure it out as he went along is a jerk thing to do? Sure he was making smart ass comments and what not, but he seemed to genuinely be trying to figure out how to do things.
I had money riding on that game.Like I said in an earlier post, it's not like there was any money riding on the game.

Honestly though, it comes down to my pet peeve of hating people that waste others' time. Time is fucking precious dude, don't waste it for other people.
But you're talking about Dota. Dan is not the biggest thief of other's time in this equation. For Christ's sake, one must be pretty flippant about the allocation of his or her time to play the sort of game where you could still be considered a noob after 100 hours.
So, the upshot is that honor and shame are huge parts of Dota culture?
In all seriousness though, Brad perfectly demonstrated how to handle Dan's obvious troll attempt. At the end of theday, it's just a goddamn videogame.
Understandable. I guess that's part of the reason why I don't play multiplayer games anymore. Too many factors that could potentially ruin your experience. If I play a game by myself, most of time chances are I'm gonna have a good time.It is. I admit that this is a "me" problem, but I play Dota 2 for a good match. If I (and my team) stomp the enemy, then it's about as unsatisfying as being stomped upon. Close matches are the best and most satisfying, which is why I hate trolls in Dota more so than in other games because they can ruin a match so easily.
I you think that's a discussion worth having then I don't know what to tell you. Different strokes, I guess.Also I take massive issues with "they're just video games" but that's for another thread.
I for one was laughing hysterically throughout the DOTA segment.
