People in the food/service industry don't count either when it comes to figuring out the start of the week. Your weekends are barely comprehensible to begin with. You do not know normal.

i have pretty strong location memory for listening to podcasts and I am reminded that whenever I hear the Australian Beef segment I flashback to aimlessly wandering around the city of Kobe.

Quick Look: Ultra Street Fighter 2: The Final Challengers

The classic fighter comes out retirement to add some newish fighters and a motion control mode.

Time for disappointment.

Abby hates Yakuza.

And mustaches.

 

[funkystudent]

When is Nomura joining GBwest?

 

[strafer]

I hope Jeff does the Tekken 7 QL

 

[avengers23]

Dan is America.
Dan is dumb.
America is dumb.
We should start a European Giant Bomb.

Already there, fam.

 

[hamchan]

So Beast in the East actually got cancelled?

 

[Human Trashcan]

yo where my Yakuza fix at @vinny @bionicpuppy @giant bomb please

 

[Tunoku]

Yes, ratings were too low so CBS decided to do a weekly show with Colbert doing a Clueless Gamer rip-off with the Beast crew instead.

Spoiler

If only.

Are they on the same network? Invite Colbert for an UPF.

But my guess it would get too political.

1:42:10 for the definitive answer on which day is the first day.

 

[imBask]

The first person stuff in SF2 for the switch looks fucking stupid

Please don't support Capcom at that price point

Quick Look: Ultra Street Fighter 2: The Final Challengers


Time for disappointment.

Outside of the price tag it's a pretty decent port I think.
Minus the Hado mode that is.

Dan learns about the first day of the week, and doesn't understand that there are other languages than English.

His confusion that January is named differently in other languages is mind blowing. Makes no sense.

Also, there are standards for everything, at least I always assume they are. Someone must think "we need to standardize this" for every subject.

Edit: also, the idea that Europe has a unified calendar is funny too. Like our calendars are produced by the EU or something.

Does Dan even know what the difference between the EU and Europe is?

January is OCAK in here. That would BLOW his fucking mind!

Hello darkness, my old friend...

Jeff, if I was playing Street Fighter 2 in the car I wouldn't be bummed out about the controller.

That's one of those things I seem less sensible about than him. But then again, Jeff cares about authentic emulation etc. Stuff I could not care less about.

But 40 EUROS WHYYYYYYYYY

 

[Hindl]

Ben is a good addition to the Jason/Jeff fighting game dynamic. I might actually watch a Ranking of Fighters

 

[Hot Coldman]

I feel like Guile's hair is one of those things Street Fighter held onto without actually considering if that was necessary.

This video is actually hard to watch. Not even because of the sunday/monday part.
Dan doesn't know about different languages, that Europe isn't a country or that international standards exist. And he's actually serious here...

 

[Fantastapotamus]

hahahahaha
Oh you

The first person stuff in SF2 for the switch looks fucking stupid

Way ahead of you

Right and wrong thing, okay. Just like the metric system, right Dan?
Dan is so America it's not even funny.

Guile hair is XCOM's thing now. And it's great!

Yeah, I actually really want this game, but at that price I have Garou and KOF 98 so I can wait.

Might not go down in that price all that quick though. Managed to get into the top 10 in the UK and amazon.com had it up to the 5th best selling game before they managed to run out of stock... It might actually be beating Capcoms expectations.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Guile hair is XCOM's thing now. And it's great!

It's in Terraria too, which is hilarious.

I dunno man, Guile is probably solidly defined by him being a US army dude and also the sonic boom. The wobbly flat top can go.

Paul Phoenix also needs a trim.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Listen

Folks

We cancelled Yakuza.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Guile hair was always an XCOM thing. Kinda

Listen

Folks

We cancelled Yakuza.

Oh no. Woe is me

 

[Hindl]

Boy that Hado mode is a special brand of awful

 

[alr1ght]

Is this another fighting game that Jason loses at?

 

[Dangansona]

I kind of wish Yakuza was live so they could get help from the chat.

 

[oti]

Guile and cool? I always thought he was super lame. His theme is fire though.

 

[Antiwhippy]

House in Fata morgana 3rd story is fucking distressing fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

 

[mrklaw]

It is. Sunday was the first day of the week because it was Church day.

No one goes to Church anymore. Work is what defines a week. Therefore, Monday is the first day of the week.

Capitalism > Religion

I thought people went to church and shops used to close on Sundays because it was the 'day of rest' - the day god rested after creating the earth and heavens in the previous 6 days.

So by that measure Sunday is the last day of the week.

 

[demidar]

Guile and cool? I always thought he was super lame. His theme is fire though.

Man, Guile is just a badass US Airman who can throw Sonic Booms. None of this Hadouken bullshit.

 

[repeater]

The first day of the week is Sunday tho.
Wednesday is literally called "Midweek" in german

It's because it's got two weekdays preceding it (Mon-Tues), and two weekdays succeeding it (Thu-Fri). See also: "hump day" is not a sex thing.

 

[Strax]

Just last month I saw, for the first time, a calendar that starts on a Monday. I assumed (and still do) that christian countries consider Sunday as the first day of the week.

Vinny would call Kojima

Ben has a laugh like a serial killer, as per him laughing at Jason during the new SF Quick Look.

 

[Harpuia]

i have pretty strong location memory for listening to podcasts and I am reminded that whenever I hear the Australian Beef segment I flashback to aimlessly wandering around the city of Kobe.

Every now and then I listen to old bombcast and beastcast snips and i have this experience. Then i realize how long I've been following these goobers. They only go as far back as Senior year of high school which was 5 years ago now. The more recent ones just remind me of the nearby biking trail close to the river since I listen to them while biking.

 

[SomberOwl]

I hope they fit a Murder Island stream in the week.

Nope

Seriously though where is Yakuza.

Fata morgana.

Current progress:

 

[Mupod]

i have pretty strong location memory for listening to podcasts and I am reminded that whenever I hear the Australian Beef segment I flashback to aimlessly wandering around the city of Kobe.

100% of all my bombcast listening has been while driving, so it mostly all blends together. But this one time I was driving back home from my parents' place, and after 5 hours on the road I got stuck in some kind of insane traffic caused by an accident. Took almost an hour of barely moving at all to get out of there. But it was that one GOTY discussion where Guilty Gear Xrd stole best graphics and I was too busy losing my shit to mind.

Australia.

 

[derFeef]

According to ISO it's just USA, Canda and Japan where Monday is considered the second day of teh week.
Did now know about Japan, interesting.
