Nah, learning calculus using riemann sums is a huge hassle
How can you teach someone calculus without talking about sums and limits?

Dan yelling at Brad about him crouch walking away from the androids is great.

Is there a way of watching an archive of the Spooking with Scoops from earlier?

I don't know, coming into a thread to leave an inarticulate whine that you refuse to explain because of perceived victimization seems like a pretty good example of a pointless drive by. I think the topic of required knowledge for critics has merit, but the lack of any willingness to meaningfully engage means I have no problem dismissing this as pointless.
That you continually and preemptively dismiss any rejection of your arguments with several statements that boil down to lol fanboys, as though everyone in this topic is of a hive mind, is as patently fucking stupid as it is, frankly, fucking laughable. I guess I imagined all those disagreements and discussions I had with other members here about diversity and hiring some months back. Nope, I never criticize them because I'm a fanboy.
The Mike Tyson "stress test" series is also great.

Wow the DriveClub review thread is pretty amazing. Is this a regular thing? I've only peeked at the Destiny and DriveClub ones.

The absolute must-watches are:
Blue Stinger
Illbleed (especially if you don't know much about it; that one copyright-infringing boss fight is just the tip of the iceberg)
Overblood 1 & 2
Cyberia 1 & 2
Dynamite Cop
Tail of the Sun (Dan's fantastic in this one)
Half-Life (see above)
Man, I never realized just how many great Super Replays they put out. Shout-outs to GI.

People lose their minds all the time around here, especially when the "reviewers with an agenda against Sony first-party games" conspiracy theory is invoked.

Jeff's AC Unity 900p conspiracy voice is great lol, the Jesse Ventura of gaming.
In case of sub-par reviews, the outcry is usually proportional to the game's budget, I've found.
Found a video of Dan pranking his father back in 2008.

If anyone wants to immediately understand my father and I, you should watch this entire thing. Norm on late night shows was our favorite thing in the world back when I was a kid/teenager. We still watch these clips numerous times a year.

I'll take note of those! The regular Replay videos are also great, especially Mario Party 3. Can't wait to compare that video and GB's inevitable take on Mario Party Party Party.
You've absolutely got some of the same speaking mannerisms as Norm. It's really weird going from the bombcast to these clips.

And then the LORD David Bowie saith to his Son, Jonny Depp: 'Go, and spread my image amongst the cosmos. For every living thing is in anguish and only the LIGHT shall give them reprieve.'
"What does 'austere' mean?" Lol, oh Dan.
1 minute in and now it all makes sense. This is like your Rosetta Stone.
Edit: I can't turn off the video. I just keeps going and I can't stop laughing.
Edit Edit: Holy shit, minute 20.

The best part about Norm is how he'll just pop up in the weirdest fucking places (or at least weird for him). Dude was on Family Guy, Fairly Oddparents, Deuce Bigalow, The Middle, and he's going to be Mike Tyson's pigeon buddy in Mike Tyson Mysteries.

I was weirded out when he referred to the Holocaust as "the unpleasantness in Europe," considering I said the EXACT same phrase in the Metro Quick Look. I don't remember this Norm clip at all, but it's obviously burned into my subconscious.

I want an Alien Isolation stream with the Oculus Rift so bad now. Maybe during Unprofessional Fridays.
At first, I was like, "What." And then I found https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P58WJ-4PxcU.
Of course it's Adult Swim.

Those mangrate ad spots he does might be some of the funniest shit ever.
I really enjoyed their MP2 Replay but man, I just can't watch more than five minutes of the MP3 one, mostly because one of the guys sitting in on it is super obnoxious.

You must be referring to Joe Juba.
Ah, that's understandable.
You must be referring to Joe or Adam; Matt is too chill to be annoying.
That makes it all the more hilarious

As a Replay and general Game Informer video fan, I'm only kind of kidding when I say fuck Joe Juba.

I've never seen so many dead hookers before!

Have you seen that movie Dan?

I'm not sure, haha. They all don't seem.. very enthusiastic about the game but one guy really brings the snark. It's the guy with the highest voice.
I'll make up for it by watching your Tail of the Sun playthrough. Been saving that one for a while but I think I'm ready.
No, not yet but I'll get around to it. Need to finish Dan & His Dad first.
Tail of the Sun actually came out in North America? Well, I know what to pick up if I ever find it in a pawn shop somewhere. It's probably a pretty rare game, though.

Is nice that AS has not abandoned the stick of " Fake/Reused Hanna Barbera Cartoons" that make them what they were in the firstu place
Game Informer really does seem to have rad videos. Weird that I never really watched them; I was subscribed to GI for the longest time.
The Mario Party video may have the guy you don't like in it, so be prepared.
I don't know, I'm watching this first episode and I'm not sure this game actually exists, lol.

Artdink are fucking bonkers in the best way.
The naming screen may be the greatest thing I've ever seen.
This sky box is the best.
No One Can Stop Mr. Domino! makes me inclined to agree.

I really, really hope that Tail of the Sun or No One Can Stop Mr. Domino! are on one of Dan's demo discs. I would love to see Drew's reactions.

I have an OPM disc with No One Can Stop Mr. Domino! on it, so I'm sure he'll eventually get one with it if he hasn't already.

I was so glad he kept calling that shit out lol
I absolutely love that Brad is so scared while playing horror game that he just absolutely panicks while playing them. I'm pretty much the same way, I do the dumbest shit because I'm so nervous.
Anyways, great podcast this week. The GOTY discussion over Destiny will be a bloodbath.

It's going to be ME3 all over again, Brad is pretty much alone in his Destiny love.
