*psst* Vinny!
lol. but really I want to see more of that story mode in City Bus Simulator, that was some trippy shit
Still waiting for my Code Bombcast. Come on Brad, get on it. Grab Samantha, Cowboy and a forth guest, then nerd out every couple months.
No, it's at the end of this month. The official date is the 25th of October.
Aw yeah, that would be awesome. I've been saying that they should bring Cowboy in on some content that's not the E3/GDC live shows for years now, if he's willing to do it. That dude always have interesting things to say, so something like that would be super interesting.
Thanks, hope he does it.
They need to get her on gb for a dedicated n64 stream. iirc, they half-suggested such a thing when they had her on the bombcast and were discussing said n64.
Yeah, well played to Brad soloing the 24 hours.
Indeed. Giving him some room to breathe on a podcast or something similar would be awesome, he's not the first one to speak on the E3/GDC streams when there's 3-4 other guests.

He doesn't get to say much though, at least in the last couple E3 streams I remember. There's always other prior dominating the conversation. I hope next year they schedule him with other developers, as the Jaffe/Muir/Cowboy segment from a few years ago is still one of my favorites.
Brad Muir and/or Dave Lang, both are longtime programmers. Their retrospectives are some of my favourite GB content.
They could probably also get Oliver Franzke, who's lead programmer at Double Fine.

Starting to catch up on UPFs, and I watched the one where Alex played Tomodachi Life.... Let's just say it's been a long time since I've laughed so hard I've been in tears lol.

Recorded a quick podcast with fellow duders @matt, @bollard, @shinboy630 and @thurbleton with regards to the upcoming Extra Life 2014 and Giant Bomb Community Endurance Run Goes Forth events.
Highlights include...

- I kind of waffle on about charity streaming, and how getting a group together to take part and watch and chat and donate all together is A Cool Thing To Do.
- I mispronounce Chase Pettit's name (developer of fine products such as www.explosiveruns.com and the upcoming PSX masterwork Drift Stage).
- I recorded the whole thing in multi-track using the .ogg file type.
Oh nice! Gotta stock up with some snacks and stuff before that shit starts.
Loved last year.
already missing Metal Gear Scanlon. It's making me want to drag out my copy of MGS2, it's been years since I've played it.
Hoping for a gigantic "Drew visits Another Communist Country" debriefing, with pictures and video. Will make for a great time, Comrades!

Well, there is a movie in December, presumably it's setting is after the end of the manga. Naruto with short hair actually looks decent.

I went and bought the HD collection yesterday. Hadn't played MGS2 since it first released on XBox and I didn't really remember a single thing about it. So much so that the bonus episode of MGScanlon made me instantly want to play it again after watching the trailer.
Having not played a MG game since then made it extra frustrating getting used to the controls for the first hour or so.
I haven't kept up with the "scandal" because I found the whole thing so asinine from the start, so that thread was the first time I got to see the arguments up close and personal and now I realize it's a good thing I stayed away from it. It's just a breeding ground for misogynistic idiots, fun.

I think that is how many saw the issue (a hashtag labeled by a dumb right wing actor is still a fucking hashtag- is not suppose to denote a side but a talking point) before it become clear that toxic people were using it as a flag for bulling people.
I hope so, his solo stream was great last year.
I think he's expressed interest to do it solo again, I seem to remember it from a UPF.
He should play more SMG.

I'm really hoping that Dan forces Drew to do some VR missions before getting into the game proper. I think it would really help him get a handle of all of the many options available to him in MGS2 that weren't present in MGS1, and hopefully with that he won't freeze up as often whenever he sets off an alert.

Huh, looking it up and apparently tomodachi life never got a quick look, which is super weird.
Thank god for that!

Now that I think about it, was Lords of Shadow 2 really the catalyst of this entire "women in gaming" and "gamergate" thing ? I don't recall it going further than that.

In what way?
You mean Kat Bailey's piece? I don't think that has anything to do with anything.

He said he might put out a review when the ps4 and xbone versions are out but he said it is a 3 star game.
Yeah, I remember his 3 star remark. Ah, so he wants to check the console versions first, makes sense!

Was Sentris that circle music game that looked about as user friendly as a bag of rusty nails?
Because I think its OK to let Brad slide with that one.

I played through MGS2 last week after Metal Gear Scanlon ended. It wasn't quite as good as I remember, but it's still amazing what they were able to pull off at the time. Admittedly, I didn't pay much attention to the cutscenes since I'll be watching those when MGScanlon season 2 drops.
After that, I started 3 almost immediately and I just don't get it. So many people on GAF say this one is the best, but it just doesn't seem fun to me. It's almost like we're playing a completely different game. The game's reliance On the player going into the Start menu to make adjustments is annoying, and the whole dpad to sneak thing seems superfluous. If I didn't look it up online, I never would've found it out. I'm not going to lie, I'm not the best MGS player, but most of my detections in 3 come out of me being frustrated with the mechanics of how the system works.
I feel like Jeff and I are the same person as far as MGS opinions go.

I recall the "gaming community" going all up in arms about an article comparing this one scene to rape. They were scared that developers would start "censoring" their games and whatnot. And from then on, we started seeing so much more discussion about the depiction of women in video games. It just kept on snowballing.
Yeah he said that the review was ready but that it was so late by now that he might as well wait for the consoles versions to come out so that it's more timely and relevant.
