Thanks for your input everyone, I think I'll give MGScanlon a miss.

I remember inviting my friend round to play MGS4 and watching him endlessly fail at what seemed to be the most basic tasks and gameplay segments and my blood was boiling.

Here is a best of Metal Gear Scanlon 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bHvJ_G8yD4

 

[KingKong]

MGS3 is kind of an easy stealth game, isnt it. You cant get away with stuff like this in Thief or Spinter Cell

Drew being unable to think about what he's doing wrong and how to do it differently, even when people tell him to, is kind of baffling though

 

[Xater]

They tend to record on Mondays, so there's a good chance today's Bombcast missed it.

Yeah there is a good chance they missed. it sucks. They seem to miss a lot of big stuff this way.

 

[Antiwhippy]

You guys need to get in the breaking drew mindset. Ravel in his suffering.

 

[tryagainlater]

I thought this episode was hilarious. Drew ignoring the person who actually gives good advice was brilliant. Them not being able to read the map for like a minute because they were confused about the difference between player direction and camera direction. Drew wasting an entire suppressor on some guard while Dan freaks out. Topped off by Drew being the most confused he's ever been playing Metal Gear yet.

Lighten up, guys.

oh its definitely funny, its just making me question everything I thought I knew about Drew

 

[Megasoum]

That alarm music is so fucking amazing in the base.

 

[kershner]

I would love it if Drew was just straight up trolling this whole time.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Drew was never the pro gamer you thought he was >_> I was watching the 2009 GOTY top 10s and like the first thing Drew says is that he doesn't play alot of games these days

we complain about GB panel Q&A but then there's this:

The most #SXSW thing that happens comes when a 20-something slickster named Jordan claims to be a fan in order to be invited on stage. Only then does Jordan reveal that he's here to promote — yes! — his app, an Uber-for-liquor startup.

Harmon had grown increasingly resentful of the large segment of the audience that wouldn't stop talking over him, and he attempted to win it back ... by singing an improvised song about 9/11.

Uber for liquor? Seriously? That's his bright idea? Boy will the police sting that so hard.

 

[Antiwhippy]

SXSW sounds like an event which Dan would call the cops on.

SXSW seems like the confluence of everything I find insufferable all at once, but with the added insult of there being some events and shows that I wouldn't mind seeing under other circumstances

 

[Myggen]

How much do we even know about this new Nintendo thing at this point? The thread on GAF seems to be confused about everything other than the project name.

This sounds like a regular episode of Harmontown. :lol

Pretty much half the people he asks up end up not really being fans and a couple have sounded almost pathetic in the way they seem to seek attention or pitty to get a job. It gets weird a lot of times.

the only good thing about GAF speculation threads are the bans

There's definitely stuff there that I would like to go see. Too bad it's in america though and also the fact that I hate crowds.

it's not even worth knowing anything about anything until you can buy it :<

 

[Antiwhippy]

Troll best new character right after shit bot.

 

[strafer]

oh come on, even a shorter MGS. :/

 

[avengers23]

That Starships QL convinced me that it's a good iOS game but not a good PC game.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

oh come on, even a shorter MGS. :/

don't worry, next episode will be like 7 hours long.

big festivals used to be a good way to see a lot of bands for a reasonable amount of money but have just become these horrible things that super rich people gather at and ruin

where rich people gather, corporations infest

can you imagine the indignity of having to play on this abomination to a bunch of millenial shitheads that only go there because it's a status symbol?

in short, fuck everything, i wish i was dead

 

[Incandenza]

Giant Bomb #13

 

[strafer]

can someone please explain what the hell is up with that texas hillbilly voice or whatever Dan is doing...is it from a movie`?

 

[f0rk]

Maybe drew needs to start a pdf document on how to play metal gear

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Giant Bomb #13

+1 vote for it

 

[giant_frying_pan]

oh come on, even a shorter MGS. :/

Still over an hour. I think the longer episodes are too long if anything. The overall running time isn't going to change drastically.

Anything to delay the point where hundreds of people are pleading and clamouring impatiently for MGS 4 is a good thing in my book

Tying a show as intentionally polarizing as Harmontown (favorite podcast aside from the Bombcast) to Community seemed like a real dumb move on Yahoo's part.

 

[LeBart]

He should just spend an hour watching youtube playthroughs and reading guides or something. At this point having him play blind isn't a fun rule, it just makes it boring to watch.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

now we're talking

 

[LiK]

Patrick, I keep telling you to play offline....

 

[Zombie James]

I love wobble gifs, or whatever they're called.

 

[strafer]

the Shrek one is the best

 

[Jimmyfenix]

 

[Megasoum]

Fuck yeah Canada to the rescue!

 

[LiK]

must be an error. coming up 66 for me.

 

[Xater]

Sounds about right.

 

[Kelas]

It would be funny if gamespot handed out 0s like that though

"eh it's ok, you'll get bored quickly though" ZERO out of ten

 

[Jimmyfenix]

must be an error. coming up 66 for me.

Yeah it "glitched" out for a few hours last night and ended up making the metacritic a 1

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

I just don't understand how something like mario party is already on its tenth iteration yet nintendo hasn't produced a true 2d metroid game in over a decade

at least that will be a good fit on mobile though

Unlike Metroid mario party still sells crazy good.

That part on the podcast where I say there's no news this week is gonna go over real well.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

this why they should record the podcasts in tuesdays

 

[Chuck]

Time to watch Drew play a game very poorly!

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

If Vinny was working on a podcast we'd get another will-the-xbone-be-sold-separately-moment on the bombcast.

but alas

Yay he's already missing with the pistol!

No silencer this time too!

 

[Quentyn]

Uncharted 4 delay? I mean, it was expected, but I still would consider that big news.

just record a quick news section and slap it on.
