The uncut video is making me nervous. I don't do well with roller coasters because I get motion sick super easily. It reminds me of the one time in my life I rode a coaster 3 times in a row and then wanted to die for about 2 hours afterwards.

As a reporter, the most interesting part of the rollercoaster uncut video was seeing how Drew captures B-roll. I need to do stuff like that when I'm covering events, so it's always interesting seeing how others prioritise and capture things.
Seriously.... Jeez some people.

Dan was a stud
Yeah, Im interested if he tried to explain to him the story behind what he was doing.

But really, it's not like the end of the race was spoiled or anything. If someone almost dies, you're bound to find out if you're online at all. To blame the GB thread is rather silly.
Seriously though, there's been some spectacular crashes this season and everyone has walked away unharmed. I've though I watched Maldonado kill himself about 4 times this season, but the cars are engineered to be so safe now adays. So when I saw Bianchi and crash in same sentence my mind doesn't go directly to him being in critical condition. I thought it as a spoiler for the end of the race, thought well it's raining probably so they could have started on a safety car which means Rosberg 1st place is secure and if there's a safety car again then he pretty much has this race in the bag. Anyways, I hope Bianchi pulls through; something messed up must have happened because like I said the cars are well engineered for safety now adays.
China warred and then subjugated Korea on-and-off for a millennium.
China and Japan warred on-and-off for about two centuries.
Korea was the little bitch third-wheel that was passed between the two countries.
Japan raped and pillaged Korea for a century - literally trying to extinguish Korean culture by teaching Japanese and banning Korean signage.
Japan then raped and pillaged China for a few decades.
So east Asian countries have not historically gotten along.
Economically, Korea and Japan dictated strict foreign tariffs to protect domestic goods, so there's even a brand-alignment that's (un)intentionally created - e.g. circa 2002, a Ford Taurus or Toyota Camry cost the equivalent of $70k in South Korea, where as the Hyundai or Kia equivalent car costs about $25k.
More recently, Korean firms and Chinese firms have literally stolen Japanese intellectual property and processes (1. "We'll manufacturer your goods for you. For cheap!" 2. "Wait, we just learned everything we need to make televisions." 3. "Fuck off, we're making our own TVs." to enter high tech industries to great success.
So international lawsuits ahoy.
East Asia is a silly place. Except silly would be the wrong word considering all the horrible shit that's happened between the three countries. :|

two years late to the party, but the last 10 minutes or so of the Lantern Run is one of the most ridiculous and uncomfortable things on the site.
And imagine, you're watching the censored version.

The comments explained what I missed. I bet Ryan was beating himself up for a long time after that.
Sounds about right. Japan hasn't done a terribly good job of making reparations though.
To be fair, people had explained how awful that crash was just a few posts above yours, so if you saw that people were talking about the crash it was a pretty safe assumption that you also saw the posts saying that the guy got a serious head injury. And with that assumption, you have to understand that complaining about "spoilers" seems shitty given the circumstances.
I watched that MGS trailer-a-thon with Drew and Dan and honestly, as someone who is in the same position as Drew (recently finished MGS for the first time, playing MGS2 now), I kinda wish he hadn't seen those trailers. They're hella spoilery. I'm really glad I didn't see them before I started MGS2.
The MGS2 trailer isn't very spoiler-y at all for the full game. Some plot points and characters revealed, but no big deal. The trailers of MGS3 on the other hand...
I mean, in the grand scheme of things, sure, they're not huge spoilers, I just felt like there were some cool moments that might not shine as brightly as if he had gone into the game more blind.
I'm particularly sensitive to spoilers in trailers and stuff, so I'm probably not the most objective person about this.
he'll forget em once he returns from vacation im sure

Agreed. the Liquid arm reveal is such a great & dramatic moment, I wished they'd stopped at the second one, which hints at it, but shows nothing.

I should rewatch that. I remember it being absolutely brutal.
I've never rewatched the part where Ryan says "faggot" because I think it'll just be too uncomfortable. I never really held it against him for using that word (as a gay man I've had Norwegian versions of that word being used against me a few times), but man that's not something I want to watch again. Still, that feature as a whole is pretty incredible.

They silenced it on the archived version. Don't even notice anything was cut out when watching it.
Heh, IIRC they censored that part (the video is still uncut, but they muted those few seconds), so the only way to get that whole...experience was to watch it live.
It's this video btw
Yeah totally, and because of that there was remarkably little controversy around it, which is a good thing.
Yeah, they cut it out, thankfully. I don't think I saw it live originally, so I never heard it. Btw I don't know if you remember but Ryan even wrote a blog post about it.

What'd he say?
Something about his son right?
They're not even remotely comparable, but anyway, let's move on.

Nah, that was an hilarious insult to a friend which only affected Vinny. What Ryan said wasn't funny or smart and was offensive to a minority group which have never had strong representation on the site.
He implied that Vinny's son would have seen Vinny naked at some point, and that was the worst thing ever.
I don't get it.

Brad's thing was just kinda nonsense that is only bad if you interpret something into it.
I'm considering it as something that was said without context of the situation. Alot of people still say retard out of childhood habit. It's still bad but the other thing was completely removed of any form of past conditioning.
Still, the word itself is offensive, regardless of context. You don't go and blurt out the N word in a video and expect it to not cause a stir, regardless of the fact that you didn't mean it. Same with this word.
But water under the bridge, wasn't a big deal and we've moved on a long time ago.

Brad rage quitting at the end. What you doin mun

it's edited to the point where it doesn't even sound like anything is cut out, except he then immediately starts apologizing profusely which had me confused.
And then Brad turned off the game without seeing the score and everybody walked off angry. That's probably the most legit angry I've seen any of those guys on a video.
Also Will Smith probably single-handedly torpedoed them more than any other factor.
I'm in a similar position (know nothing about MGS other than the character twist) and tbh, I've already forgotten the trailer aside from big fucking boat and woman with a big fucking gun.
I imagine it's one of the things that you only realise is a spoiler when you've played it and watched it again, or played it immediately after.
It is. I've been called that before but I guess I'd find it more offensive if someone implied I showed myself to children on a regular basis. Again out of context. Weekends, huh?
Love me some Bombcast clips, especially of the short variety:
Luigi pitches iOS
Vinny slates Charles Martinet
The shell is white
Think before you burst
Vinny's first bear role
Also, I found your YT channel, Myggen, after noticing some new Bombcast clips. Doing solid work!

Now I want to rewatch this. Was it on the quick look?
Not many people regularly uploading Bombcast clips after that one guy stopped updating his Youtube channel, so I made a YT channel with that as a goal. We'll see how it goes
A Breaking Brad, the clip is on YT.
