Holy shit.

 

[Myggen]

Brad, I hear that Castlevania II: Simon's Quest is a difficult 2d action adventure game. I highly suggest you give that a shot for your Breaking Brad series of videos.

I wouldn't wish Simon's Quest on my worst enemies.

Any reason to revisit Barkerville sounds good to me!

I wish Simon's Quest on Vinny

Jeff and Dan LA Cops QL might be the best bombcast convo ever.

 

[stump sock]

Simon's Quest is fine*


*as long as you use a guide to tell you where to go

 

[saveweyard]

I'm listening to the This Year 2010 Giant Bombcast episode and they got to the WiiWare/DSiWare section and I just can't keep it together at my desk at work. I'm dying at Jeff reading them in his extra low voice. I actually have tears in my eyes.

The GB love for MacGruber aside, is it actually worth watching? I haven't seen anything MacGruber related.

No, it is complete shit.

Dan, for all his idiosyncrasies, knows his dumb action film. But if MacGrube is any sign, he doesn't know his comedies. It is unbearable.

It's a real pile of garbage. Not funny at all.

 

[LiK]

shocked how much Dan loved DmC. dude beat it 7 times (one time per difficulty)? pretty insane.

 

[Corgi]

if drew is gonna shoot everyone... please please PLEASE can someone tell him that dpad is for precision aiming?

 

[giant_frying_pan]

That weird hidden final level in 3D World that everyone says is so balls-out impossible would be perfect for this, but the legwork required to even unlock that thing would take more free time than I have right now.

Jason and/or Dan could power through it for you!

 

[Megasoum]

I'm sure Dan has a save there already on his WiiU

His WiiU was stolen and I doubt he went back to 3d World.

Ohhh right forgot about that.

I actually watched through Vinnyvania Part 3 earlier today. First 48 minutes to get to Dracula, last two hours failing at fighting him lmao. I need to see Vinny play through Super Castlevania IV some time soon.

I gotta go back and watch that series at some point. I think I only watched the first one or maybe two.

Back when everyone was in one place. Good times :'(

They really need to get more features out from GBEast. I want to hear what Vinny has been up to in his personal life. Quick Looks don't really allow them to talk off topic.

 

[LiK]

Vinny too busy setting up all the equipment in GBeast by himself. I wonder if they're still hiring there....

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Fun facts about Castlevania: The final stage and boss fight of Rondo of Blood (and since it rehashes the end of RoB, this relates to the intro to SOTN as well) is pretty much identical to the final stage of Castlevania 1.

There's also a stage in the middle of the game where you fight just about every boss from Castlevania 1.

It's things like that that make Rondo a classico.

 

[Typographenia]

It's dumb comedy but I think it is legit good. Have you seen Hot Rod? Both are done by the Lonely Island guys(directing and writing at least) so that should give you an idea of the type of comedy it is.

Well, that answers that for me. Cross McGruber off my potential watch list.

 

[Xater]

Can't you just use someone else's save? Oh wait, WiiU.

Remember when sharing saves was super easy and a fun thing to do? Man those were the days...

 

[Hamst3r]

Hamst3r are you still doing Soda reviews?

I haven't done any soda reviews in a while, mainly because I stopped drinking so much soda. There are definitely sodas I haven't had though, so perhaps I'll resume that pursuit in the future.

 

[Hot Coldman]

That's a damn fine .gif.

I kinda feel bad that Drew is just bumrushing his way through MGS3... I get the feeling maybe he's had his fill.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Aw man, you guys are bumming me out about Metal Gear Scanlon. I thought there'd be a turning point where he'd really start enjoying it.

 

[Xater]

Oh man the end of Playstation Home is coming soon. That might end up being a magical/terrible experience.

Less MGS, more Demo Derby!

 

[bodyofanamerican]

I am crying at my desk at work. This is fantastic.

edit: I cannot fucking WAIT for the Sorrow.

 

[LiK]

If Drew is having issues with the grunts in MGS3, he's gonna enjoy some of those tougher enemies in MGS4, haha

 

[Megasoum]

The difference is that MGS4 doesn't play like complete shit.

whatever, I didn't have any major issues with MGS3 or MGS4.

Neither does MGS3

The controls in MGS4 are far more "modern." If Drew makes it to MGS4 without quitting he'll find the controls to be a breath of fresh air, I suspect.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

MGS4 controls are much closer to most 3rd person games than the rest of the series outside of MGSV. It's still kinda quirky but nowhere near as weird as the 3 games preceding it.

 

[SmithnCo]

Dan and Jason skirting *that* aspect of The End fight was pretty funny.

 

[LiK]

I played MGS3 vanilla before they even implemented the new 3rd person camera. If people can't adapt to the controls like Drew, then of course you gotta blame the game and not the player...

MGS4 was improved but I didn't find it that much of a difference.

lol

 

[justjim89]

I remember when I first played MGS4 on a Blockbuster rental, it felt like the deepest combat/movement yet in a game. Those first two acts are so damn good. It's a shame how quick it all goes downhill. Even the return to Shadow Moses was pretty underwhelming.

Metal Gear Scanlon 4 will be interesting because there are bound to be entire episodes where Drew doesn't get to play.

For what it is worth - I am not sure Cara would be happy covering news and doing the odd quick look. Problem is that there is little money in the kind of writing she does enjoy. Tough mid-twenties career choices.

Cara responded to someone asking her if she would like to do more mainstream work on tumblr. http://caraellison.tumblr.com/post/113894784150/would-you-ever-want-to-work-at-a-more-mainstream

I think I thrive in constraints. I really excel at breaking preconceptions of what something is or how something is done. I find making something I initially think is dull interesting to engage with a kind of thrill. I think about news or anything else as a kind of opportunity to talk to a new audience in a way that brings them onto my territory and lets them look around. I don’t know if I’d be happy - I might - but the thing is, by the time I’d leave, I’d have made it my own and more people than ever would have turned up to read it. Largely a lot of people also forget that I wrote news at RPS and PCGN for a while anyway!

But i really don’t know until I do it, to be honest. And I could do it extremely well.

 

[Jex]

I really don't know if Dan will ever beat The End in combat. Perhaps they'll just have to put the game down for awhile and by the time they return it'll all be sorted.

A-mazing.

This is what the third week in a row where the guys manage to record the podcast before the big news of the week? Maybe it's time for a separate bite sized podcast for Friday's that wraps up the big news stories.

then what do they talk about the next tuesday?

resposting 'cause it didn't get much traction. From John Oliver's Show

i get why you hear it, but i dont agree

What they played and random shit they did throughout the week and weekend.

There really isn't much of a point, as far as I see it. We'll still get their reactions in the following podcast, most likely everyone who listens to them knows the news, and anyone that doesn't care enough to know by now won't benefit that greatly by hearing it three days sooner.

Can't wait to hear Alex and Vinhy in podcast form. Love their quick looks but I really want to hear them chat about stuff for an hour.
