I prefer Whippy's "intended realism" (understated humour could go in a lot of directions; also, I just thought of 'dehumourisation') but I accept your subsequent explanation.

I think it goes vaguely something like this: some time in the 1800s there was an attempt to formalise the rules of football, which was ill-defined and varied widely by region, and this resulted in a schism between people who wanted to be able to carry the ball and those who didn't. The former group of people created the sport known as rugby football and the latter the sport named association football (since those who did not want players carrying the ball formed the Football Association). American football is the Americanisation of rugby football.

Wasn't the plot that he has to make that thing angry? I remember thinking that people took that scene out of context, because he's not like that for the rest of the game.
But man, anime, Platinum Games and DmC in one Quick Look? What could go wrong?

So what's this nonsense I hear about Jeffrey not being on the second life stream? Or am I making that up?

no, I vaguely remember that type of attitude being pretty much par for the course for that game. but again, I actually kind of enjoyed that.
I believe the term is wanime. /adjusts glasses.
Seriously though, it's an American show, but it's clearly 99% styled after typical anime shounen series, and I think they have a bunch of people who worked on anime in the past.
Can't lie, I laughed.
Especially given that the combat really comes into it's own once you have everything unlocked.
I do think he was way too down on it.

So I shouldn't expect an Evil Within review? Kinda wanted to know if that game makes up for its terrible intro.

I would hate Brad forever if he didn't go to Jeff's wedding
Nah, Patrick was pretty clear from the start that he's not reviewing it, and no one else are either.
Also, bummer about Jeff not being on any of the stream, but oh well.

The game gets better from Chapter 3 on ward. Need tricky to complete the game though.

I can handle a Drewbert, Jason, Rorie, and Danny stream, with a guest appearance or two from Mary, Alexis and random GS scrubs.
and a match of Windjammers
Well this is a real bummer :/

It's a Platinum game licensed from a popular cartoon. It's inevitable.

I donated $20 for his balls.
Gonna be pretty hard to top that.

Jeff wisely leaving this "staying up 24 hours" stuff to the kids. And Lang.

Aren't GS doing their own streams though? Though I guess people can show up on days they're not streaming themselves. Still, with Jeff and Dan out of town I kinda wish they'd pool their resources for fewer but more "packed" streams.

You should probably clarify that that's from the comments, not the actual QL

Oof those comments.
People sure are getting up in a tizzy about this game. I enjoyed it, it's a good romp of fun for $15, but it's not going to be game of the year or anything for me.

Man, poor Jason. I could feel how his soul drained from his body as he realized what had happened. That sucks
Still not sure how to feel about Korra. I bought it for my gf since she's a huge fan of the show though (I am too, but I can wait for a sale), so I'll probably give it a shot eventually.
