dat 90s CG intro
Perfect!
Dude yes. I really miss Impressions Games city builders.
even though Zeus/Poseidon is superior imo
haha i forgot about the intro
i might check out the sequel, as well, even though i prefer the in-game look of iii
man i will have to try zeus, never played that one
gog's got me covered, i see
edit: i should probably get the caesar iii, zeus + poseidon, pharaoh + cleopatra bundle, shouldn't i
Let me know what you think, it's hands-down my favourite of all those ancient builders. Also would recommend looking up the widescreen patch for it if you do check it out.
And ah man, getting that bundle as a kid was like striking gold. Definitely recommended. They went on to make another one based in ancient china (Emperor, I think?) but I never got around to trying it. Looked like it had some proper RTS elements, which would be improved over the janky way Zeus and the others tack on military combat.

He also still needs to update his new car's firmware. Buggers in the dealership didn't even bother to update it prior/during the sale.
Thank gods the talk about you know what seems to be over. Was seeing red with a mention of a non-existent "anti" movement.

two accounts is probably against the rules, patrick
will do!
combat is always my least favourite part in.. pretty much all the games i have played from this genre. anno, the settlers, civilisation, cossacks, recently endless space
i love games like advance wars and nectaris but when a whole economy depends on my military actions, i start playing very reluctantly, haha
He spells it correctly, it can't be Patrick.

Except you don't go to the item screen as often to switch around items in Ocarina of Time as much as you would in Majora's Mask. The description of those transformation mask being basically Water Temple iron boots but for the whole game is pretty apt.
This is coming from someone who loves the shit out of Majora's Mask. It's not exactly a deal breaker for me but I can understand why Jeff wouldn't have the patience for it.

The comparison to the Iron Boots is completely unreasonable.
The iron boots process was pressing pause, waiting half a second for the menu to load up (menus are actually slower in OoT than MM), pressing Z or R twice, moving to the desired boots, selecting it, unpausing and waiting another half second, and then slowly trudging through a hazy water level for 10 seconds before doing it all over again.
The mask switching process in Majora's Mask is literally no different than selecting an item that you don't already have equipped, like in any other Zelda game. Like 90% of the masks are super situational, and the only ones that are used in anywhere near the same frequency as the Iron Boots in the Water Temple would be equipped in the item slot as soon as you reached the appropriate area... which is exactly what the Iron Boots should have been, and what every post-OoT game with Iron Boots has done.

sounds like the Dan vs Mike Tyson thing is a go or at least very near there once they deal with the hurdles (which i assume is related to getting their setup to work with a CRT).
should be interesting to see if he actually does it since Jason has records of him choking before and is unconvinced.
*assuming it is what i think it is*

What was the joke with Phoenix Down? I don't hear it, and I've been saying it aloud!
Perhaps http://www.gamespot.com/reviews/the-legend-of-zelda-majoras-mask-review/1900-2644956/ might explain some of his dislikes.
A down is a layer of feathers that a bird has while it's also a play on the reviving of a character who is down.

I always kind of got the feeling that the game show stuff was more of a Ryan thing than anyone else's idea so I can see why it hasn't happened much.
You're probably right, but I'd love to see Brad Muir play the feud again.
Hell, they should find a way to get themselves on the actual Family Feud show. Set up a charity match against another game site or some famous youtubers or something
edit - Family Feud isn't a CBS property, is it?

needs another quick look
Also, after listening to Jeff on a podcast for about 8 years now, I've long given up on understanding why he dislikes some of the games he dislikes
I agree. Jeff is great and he's still the driving force for my love of GB, but yeah, his logic is either non-existent or straight up contradictory some times. Unlike everyone else, it's almost impossible to guess if Jeff is going to love or hate something, the results are often surprising.
But the heart likes what the heart likes and you can't argue I guess. And in terms of logic, everybody has their weird quirks. In fact, I'd say Brad has some of the weirdest criteria of what it takes for him to like or hate a game.
Hmm... Tempting.
They were referring to the fact that Phoenix Down is literally referring to the down of a phoenix and not in fact a strange translation from Japanese to English or some derivative thereof. The joke is that they took several years before it clicked in their minds.
Edit: Wow, latelatelate.

I don't think the dick thing would get him in much trouble, but the fact that he inadvertently(?) posted nudes of a female coworker on his instagram might not bode too well.

I thought i read somewhere his fiancee hacked him
This is one of my favorite podcast moment. In part because I realized the thing at the same time as Jeff.
Like an Oddworld: Strangers Wrath game, but with pirates instead of cowboys.
It seems his fiancee got access to his account and found the pics and posted them in revenge for his cheating. The thing that would get him into trouble is his account is linked to the WWE website so the nudes got posted to the site during RAW.

On the bombcast they really missed the chance to sell Dan on just how much he could do anything in D&D. They should have told him about V-Bomb climbing a tree and dropping a statue arm on an enemy’s head. Probably the best moment in that Pathfinder run.

Rorie will probably fill him in in the next episode!

Hopefully he fills him in on how dumb his character is too. I look forward to that road block coming up a lot.

So how much of Danswers is spent giving awkward people dating advice?
Hated that shit back when it would pop up on 1up podcasts back in the day.

The first episode is more of that than the second ep.
I keep coming back to this question, too. I was really looking forward to playing this game with my friends last summer when nothing was coming out. :/
My best guess is that they've run into trouble porting it to the Vita and PS3 and/or implementing the cross-platform play. Sounds like quite a challenge getting that running without a hitch given that they are three quite different systems. Also, the PS4 version looked pretty polished in the Quick Look, so I have a hard time seeing that being the big hold up.
I'd say Danswers is more of a venue for the employees to tell deeply personal stories and facts about themselves more than it is for actual answering questions.
I honestly had the same mindset going in, thinking I couldn't care less about a "life advice" podcast, but in reality it's very raw, emotional and highly entertaining. If you ever feel like you want to know more about the lives of the Dans (and Jeff) then it is worth it just for that.
Yeah I'm in the same boat that I don't want to hear life or dating advice from them at all. I also want to know no more about their personal lives than the stuff that just comes up naturally on their other content. It's cool that some people like the podcast though.
Mandatory reminder that they should continue the book club podcast.

I love how every time this Majora's Mask conversation happens, the opinions calcify and get even more extreme. I'm not sure Dan realizes that Jeff is being purposely hyperbolic.
It was at PSX. Q1 2015 release.

Damn right. Zeus/Poseidon was my jam. I still have the discs lying around somewhere. I never did very well at the game, the military part of it always escaped me, but I enjoyed it regardless.

Come talk to me when you have to pay the Don Bradman. It ain't cheap.
