That thing they suggested on Professional Wednesday where Vinny and Ryan get tutored on Starcraft 2 and then do a match against each other sounds like a superb idea for an episodic premium content. Too bad it looks like Ryan doesn't seem to give a shit about creating content worth paying for.
It happened twice didn't it? First Nappa did it to Gabe, and then later Gabe did it to Nappa, so it would seem to maybe be related to the character weight (subtle unintentional fat joke?).
It's just another case of them talking about something they really aren't familiar with. The Thief games (the first two at least), are the opposite of everything they seem to hate about stealth games.
Aside from one or two fail-on-sight missions, being caught never forces you to re-load a save - you can run back to the shadows, hide, and continue the mission after that. You'll only be re-loading saves if you're going for a perfect run without being seen (somewhat of a pointless endeavour since it matters so little).
As for the combat being shitty! Yeah, you're a thief, not a soldier, so you're not going to want to engage in combat - but the combat is actually pretty good when it's just one on one sword fighting. You have active blocking and light/heavy attacks, and you can dodge, and the AI is pretty smart too.
It's crazy that they think people like the Thief games because it's another trial-and-error stealth game. It's just not that type of game.
There was a guy advertising GameCribs for way too long that lead to them going to the wrong site which was kind of funny lol.
That 'douchebag' was Ryan MacDonald. He goes way back with the guys, dude was fucking crying on camera when Gerstmangate went down.
He jumped in for like 10 minutes to talk about their upcoming live shows while Vinny and Ryan jokingly took the piss out of eSports.
Is that really a big deal?

It seems Vinny invited him on the show because he wanted to know what he was up to, since he'd see him in the office constantly crazy busy organising all of this stuff. What resulted wasn't great watching, but I don't begrudge it happening.
Yes! At least do it during Unprofessional Friday.
We haven't had a Ryan Reax! in a while!
Yeah, I've noticed that also, it's mostly been Patrick.
We all get lazy at some point and forget to turn over our page-a-day calendars for a couple of months.

Brad and Ryan already knew so that they stab it in the back come December.

Yeah he would.
I started watching the archives last night.
I love that there's a "feud" between Gabe and Nappa.
And both of their entrance themes are incredible.

don't fall down that rabbit hole
I don't know, it seemed like the GS guy that was playing ARMA3 kept getting interrupted and didn't seem comfortable.
He also had a hell of a time explaining anything while playing which is essentially 99% of what Giant Bomb does

The dude playing ARMA3 was boss. Knew his shit inside and out.

GB needs more Ryan McDonald appearances.
Vinny is basically just Ryan McDonald 2.0 anyway so it will be like having 2 Vinnys.

What's the name of the horror iOS game that they were talking about towards the end of the show. With the jump scares and the great atmospheric sound.
I was half asleep during that part and am not sure where in the episode it was. As I fell asleep I remember thinking, 'that game sounds good'.

Anyone take Brad up on his SC2 thing and play him on TNT last night?
I assumed they adopted it to stop saying 'systems' so much

Nah, he only played two games. One 1v1 and a 4v4 with some pros.

lol. So on TNT when they're talking about Jeff peeing on a boxspring he's like "nah, that was in Santa Rosa, you don't do that in your home town." SR is where I live. I'm not sure that would fly in the circles I run in though.
Professional Wednesday was MUCH BETTER this week, and I'm not even sure why.
I love me myself some Ryan McDonald. He was pretty good back on "on the spot" days. I'm glad he made an appearance.
I'm excited for today's Unprofessional Fridays - as far as I'm concerned, it's the best show Giantbomb produces.

Brad kind of exaggerated. I think Domorin was in the NA grandmaster league at one point but most of the other guys were masters league players that probably hadn't played in a while. There's a pretty big difference between the guys that compete in tournaments and masters league.
