I didn't know they did a TTK raid stream, I'll have to look that up. I only remember them doing VOG.
I mean, if they're gonna watch a movie with oom in the title and it's not The Room, it's obviously gotta be:
What about Dhoom, Dhoom 2, or Dhoom 3? All these movies are pronounced like "Thoom", because they are Bollywood movies - complete with actions scenes and musical numbers. I have personally seen Dhoom 2 and it is insane and wonderful.
I hope the Life is Strange QL is Jeff having to play the prequel based solely on reading a Wikipedia summary of the original game's story.

Hey guys, I've been away since Monday at work/sequestering myself with a bad screenplay that won't amount to anything other than a fleeting sense of accomplishment.
What'd I miss?
EDIT:
Just finished that Robot Named Fight QL. Ugh.
EDIT EDIT:
I also gave Mario + Rabbids a shot over the weekend between bouts of Destiny 2. I'd just finished my first playthrough of XCOM 2 two weeks ago so maybe that might be why it didn't click, but damn, that did not click.

Not familiar with these. Looks kind of similar to the Shah Rukh Khan reboots of Don?

Not that I want to play, or can't play on superior hardware.
First year of Wii U even was much better.
Funky Barn that good?
Mary Kish is a terrible person. Skyline Chili is fine, even though it's way more of a sauce than a chili. LaRosa's is real good. I'm not natively from Cincinnati.
Ohio is generally a shithole.

Funky Barn is actually a really good game. Jeff's stream sold it to me.
It's no ZombiU though. What a fucking awesome game.

What games did you get/like in the first year of Wii U? Idk, I think the Switch is having one of the best first years in recent memory.
The first year of Wii U was literally this by the definition of not being available elsewhere, or ignoring dogshit like Funky Barn and Rabbids Land:
ZombiU
NSMBU
Pikmin 3
Wind Waker HD
Wonderful 101
Game & Wario
I've already got more games on my Switch even removing all the Neo Geo games.

Bullshit. By the time December rolls around, the Switch will be 9 months old. 9 months from the Wii U's launch you had:
NSMBU
Zombi U
Game & Wario
Everything else you could play elsewhere or it's not worth mentioning
Edit: I'll include Nintendoland, but still
I got enjoyment out of Game and Mario, especially that one where you basically play Mario Ware mini games without being caught by mom, but come on. We needed a real Wario Ware.
Apparently the DS and Wii ones underperformed, but they gotta bring it back for Switch. Hell, it has tilt and touch. Just make a megamix like Rhythm Heaven if even shitty Mario Party mini games get a collection.
Yeah, it was great. So was Nintendoland if you had the people. (Which I did forget to add to that list).

Everybody, and I mean everybody, keeps saying this, and I felt like it was just a rehash of earlier Uncharted setpieces mixed together and it was... alright. But I didn't really feel wowed by it. idk, I'm just not that impressed by this stuff so much anymore. But also I wasn't really as invested in the story as I was in UC4 so that probably didn't help. TLL was fine but didn't leave much of an impression on me.

Here's a thing Mario + Rabbids is missing:
Constant intro videos when enemies show up. It's so great in Xcom. Can't wait to see another 12 "Hey, get ready for some Lost!" videos. Those never get old.
Sometimes there are super obvious problems in games that are completely baffling and I have no idea how nobody looked at them and said "Hey, maybe change them"

I haven't seen those. I only found these by accident, and a group of friends and I watched them together in college while doing ... let's say RECREATIONAL substances. It helped cement my love of campy and terrible movies. I personally really like dumb movies like DOOM, but also even dumber ones like D-War and Army of Darkness.
Army of Darkness in particular is amazing in it's campy-badness. Everyone should watch it.

In a lot of ways it is a mixture of past elements. And at times I though that too, specifically
oh you wanted to use getting dragged by a car by rope again
Also skipping the camera pan over the battlefield when retrying a battle
You're absolutely right in that it is a rehash of older set pieces, but there's also refinement with some decent blending done to make
the jeep/train section more interesting, dynamic, and varied.

the duo fist fight with Asav was infinitely better and satisfying than the sword fight at the end of 4. Got serious Civil War vibes too, which added to the spectacle.

Yes. They mixed in two set pieces in a really seamless way that felt fucking awesome. However, the setpiece itself is not one of my favorite moments in that game. It is what happens near the end that reminded me of this scene from Civil War. It felt so goddamn satisfying.
Let me guess. You love the Vita.
I got enough Destiny by playing the Alpha three years ago. The level of obsession Brad and Dan have with the sequel it is a little unsettling.
If you find that unsettling, you should probably never google Diablo

Hearing Jeff go off on the stupid shit in D2's story was cathartic as fuck. Good stuff.

Playing with your wife every day sounds pretty sweet to me. It'll die down after a while and go up again with the first expansion.
Destiny 2 is really good about giving you new stuff to do and list items to check off. And yes, the shooting is good too.

Did North Korea nuke SF? Getting a 500: internal server error.
I work 3 blocks away from CBSi in SF, and I can confirm no nukes here

They have them 1 block nukes though...
Same, I just played it a few days ago. As bad as I thought the pacing was with 4, it had a ton of great memorable moments where as Lost Legacy on the other hand just feels really by the numbers and forgettable in comparison. Chloe would be the exception, she's great and it was nice getting more characterization out of her. I also like the globetrotting and environmental variety of 2, 3, and 4, LL feels kind of one note in that regard like the first one.
She's right about the shit barely being able to reach Columbus. It's garbo

it's the only mainline SH I haven't played, outside of the demo
everything I've seen and heard of it makes it seem unappealing, aside from "the room" concept

It is worth playing just for how unique it is. It's interesting but on the whole it is not a great game at all, especially when you already got the masterpiece that is Silent Hill 2.
BreezyLimbo
Banned
It definitely has interesting aspects to it. Persistent Enemies that you can 'lock down' permanently until you retrieve the item that locked them down, random enemy spawn via ghosts, the sort of world hub, having to gather items and retread old areas.
It's not a great Silent Hill game, but despite that it's a great game with some unique aspects.
And yeah, Silent Hill 2 is a huge masterpiece. The story, the music, the setting, how everything comes together...man.
Wait! Alex ran the @WillMacAvoyACNtwitter account???
