God bless Alex Navarro

Drew's reactions/reflexes aren't the greatest also, which is a shame as it's not the sort of thing you can get better at in an hour.

Seeing him fumble with the stinger every now and then is hard. I think at this point, he knows how to win, it's all about executing well.

 

[hamchan]

Why is Drew just running in circles and not doing anything?!?!

 

[Zeouterlimits]

Aww no, I hope the flow isn't broken for Drew.

 

[daydream]

I expect a 4 star DR2 review from tricky.

daydreaming are you keeping up with the DR games?

I was trucking in DR1 but this Q4 is brutal. Too many fucking games. If I get around to finishing it this year, I'll be satisfied.

 

[Misterinenja]

I get a feeling Drew doesn't play a lot of action games per se. His ability to recognize patterns and react accordingly is kinda out there.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Why is Drew just running in circles and not doing anything?!?!

They're trying to figure see the pattern and tells of the boss to figure out a plan.

 

[Hot Coldman]

he says "THERE YOU ARE!" for a fucking reason

Jason is the only legitimate gamer at Giant Bomb.

 

[demidar]

Rex has a vision cone for a reason you know...

Thankfully he activated stupid mode.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Nooooooooo

 

[Tucah]

Aw

 

[LeBart]

- Got it.
- Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh

 

[hamchan]

They're trying to figure see the pattern and tells of the boss to figure out a plan.

It's crazy because he's just holding all the stun grenades and not throwing them.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Actually, now that I think about it, stun grenades make him lose his vision.

 

[demidar]

lol

 

[AuthenticM]

HE HAD IT

Why didn't he just use stuns ?!

 

[Hot Coldman]

we all paid money to allow this to happen

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Classic giantbomb

 

[BigBoss]

I never used stun grenades during the Rex fight, just avoid Rex's vision cone when you're underneath.

 

[Stratosphere]

So have either of them taken notice of the giant vision cone? They seem oblivious to it.

 

[Zabant]

Jason is the only legitimate gamer at Giant Bomb.

I'd prefer you say 'better than average' as "legitimate" sounds pretentious as hell, but yeah you're right, you think guys who cover games for a living would be above average.

Actually that's not fair, Jeff and Dan both have their moments, but your point stands.

 

[AuthenticM]

Hideo Kojima sends his regards.

 

[JawesomeJaw]

Can we swap Drew and Janson? Might be time.

 

[Renpatsu]

Otacon warned them that would happen.

Edit: Dan demonstrating more Pythagorean theorem.

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

Lol the "I see you" and they just dont hear it

ALSO JUST USE THE F*ING STUN

 

[AuthenticM]

He's not using stuns.

I'm crying over here.

 

[Jamie OD]

They're too scared of the laser to think about running underneath its legs.

 

[Kelas]

Ok I laughed at that stomp.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Hideo Kojima sends his regards.

 

[hamchan]

Drew just running in circles continuously while it's not working is painful. This is like Ocelot battle again where he gets stuck doing one thing and doesn't want to change it.

 

[Fox318]

Brad "5 Star" Shoemaker gave a review 5 stars? what a surprise.

YOU GET 5 STARS AND YOU GET 5 STARS

 

[AuthenticM]

FINALLY

 

[Lys86]

I remember these fights being incredibly difficult the first time, though. These are not easy fights when you first get to them.

 

[Flandy]

Oh boy...

I think Drew is more methodical in games. Like for the Sniper Wolf fight, he immediately deduced being able to use Nikitas, for the Vulcan fight, he immediately figured to use claymores. He was a bit slow at the uptake in the beginning of the serious, but things are starting to click for him.

 

[Hot Coldman]

 

[Zombie James]

At least this will be good practice... and I can have dinner and not miss anything.

When I said this 45 minutes ago, I was joking,

 

[AuthenticM]

This may be frustrating, but I'm still having a great time. I'm glad they did this live.

 

[robotrock]

STUN GRENADES

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Is this the moment when everybody suddenly decides to hate Drew?

[Noray]

Rex phase 2 is so goddamn easy if you just run underneath him every time to make him lose you. You can even fire the stinger when you're underneath the cockpit and have it count. But for some reason Drew JUST WON'T TRY IT.

 

[fierrotlepou]

Is this the moment when everybody suddenly decides to hate Drew?

Impossible!

 

[Zabant]

Drew can sit down and learn to take off a plane or a helicopter in a simulation, not many folks can do that, dude is methodical as hell, it's impressive.

It's why simple stuff like this is even more infuriating to watch.

 

[AuthenticM]

Is this the moment when everybody suddenly decides to hate Drew?

That's never going to happen.

 

[Renpatsu]

This is my vote.

Jeff's Kid Rock rant reminded me that the Woodstock 99 venue was up, and I was just thinking about that ... era of music.

I have already gotten to a point where Limp Bizkit is on stage, Korn was mentioned, and Puff Daddy and Kid Rock are in the background. This is the darkest timeline of music.
