It's fine, we're getting the superior Fire Emblem game day and date with NA.
Not even kidding, Tokyo Mirage Sessions looks real dumb and that makes me want to play it.

HAHAHAHA! So yesterday, I watched Game Tapes and they got to the lacrosse version and I wondered why there haven't been many lacrosse games. Boom! Out of nowhere, one is coming out next week for PS4/XB1/Steam from the Big Ant Studios (know for the Giant Bomb favorite Don Bradman Cricket series). The came is called Casey Powell 16 Lacrosse. Not knowing much about the names of the athletes of the lacrosse, I was amused to find out he played for the 2013 Chesapeake Bayhawks (who won the championship that year). My brother was actually the head athletic trainer of the team that season, so he'll probably get a kick out of this. I look forward to a Quick Look.

Well not everyone has a premium sub or may have been interested in seeing how far it's come since starting in early access. If it's like a mini-UPF then all the better.

Yeah, that's the fucked up thing about Mario Maker. It gives you more of a respect for the NSMB platforming physics (which is what MM runs off of).

You might almost use that as the foundation of an argument that NSMBU is the best 2D Mario game they've ever made
best playing maybe... as for design etc though...

Oh man, forgot that bombcast 12/23/2014 was a Jeff and Rorie only joint.
I need, NEED more Rorie in my life.

Black Desert QL is kind of random, I wonder what office is doing the QL.
My bet would be East.

the post should've just been "I was in the Japanese version of Fighting Vipers but none of the other versions"

The aversion to subtitles by Americans (or maybe it's English speaking people in general?) is so weird to me. I don't even get the subtitles in my own language!
I don't think it's that widespread. I've never known anyone in real life who complains about subtitles and most people I know are English speaking Americans.
Please don't judge us all by Dan Ryckert.
I think I'm going to have to hold off on The Division. I've got enough 'time sink games' and I just really don't trust Ubisoft to curate the game and keep the hackers at bay. And considering all the emphasis on PVP/The Dark Zone, that's a big thing they can't get wrong or the whole end game goes to shit.
As someone who lives in the midwest, where we make Dan Ryckerts, the aversion to subtitles is real and super weird. Think it's tied to the whole 'normal guy' obsession we have. To be fair, it's getting better, but I definitely run into it once you get outside of people into Japanese games and arthouse films.

It's developed by Massive. And yeah they have been bought, but it's clearly not the same company that develops AC and FC games.
It's like a DICE/EA situation, yet people don't say Battlefield is developed by EA.
Massive has been under Ubisoft since 2008. You know Ubisoft tries to put everything under the same umbrella with their constant sharing of teams, art assets, engines, sound libraries, and concepts. You are delusional if you think there isn't an 'Ubisoft game.' The game even has towers in it.

But it pretty much falls in line with Ubisoft's other titles and also the stuff they've worked on under ubisoft. I'd understand if the division is an RTS like world in conflict but it's not.

Wait, the Division has towers?

It has Ubisoft written all over it.
do you guys have a public tv channel that is almost exclusively playing foreign stuff with subtitles? SBS with its bonanza of foreign content maybe helped insulate me back when i was a tyke

Arrrrrrrgh.
Should I get SFV now?
Or should I wait?
I kind of don't really have anyone I super want to play as other than ibuki and she's not out for awhile.

Sorry, Dan Ryckert is the most American person I know so it's only fitting to judge all Americans by him.

Eh, if I'm going back to an old SF it'll be third strike.
Speaking of which.

I'll jump in on the why I hate subtitles discussion.
When I'm watching a normal movie/game I actually get distracted by them and read them instead of watching what is playing out on screen. I spend more time reading even though the dialog is being spoken and its clear enough for me to hear and understand it all.
for cartoon/anime pretty much the same thing as above, but with anime, the whole point of the medium is to look at the beautiful artwork and animation going on on the screen. I'd much rather have a dub in English where I understand it perfectly and don't have to read. If I wanted to read, I'd pick up a book instead.
And yes, I understand the english dubbing/translation isn't always that good, but honestly, to me, I don't have enough of an appreciation for me to ever notice the small inflections or even notice a difference when it comes to the original Japanese voices. I'm there for enjoyment first and foremost. If I REALLY love the thing, I'd probably make more of an effort to get into the original text and probably try to learn the language or something like that. (i.e. The Witcher. I played the game, loved it so much, I got the books in English translation and loved them even more, but I'm not going out of my to learn polish to "appreciate the nuances of the language since the translation isn't as good" or what most people say when they talk about translations.
Again.... this is all my preference and just thought maybe it'd shed some light into why some people don't like subtitles

Looks like Brad flew to New York to record a podcast. GB is wasting subscriber money again it seems.
You're really killing it with these threads

I liked Game Tapes. Luigi's Mansion 2 is still Luigi's Mansion 2, though. It's on handhelds, deal with it

Not even Jeff's?
If you need a list of what's what:
All That, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, Beakman's World, The Secret World of Alex Mack, Clarissa Explains it All, and finally That's So Raven (not 90s)
I'm with ya dawg. Only got the Vinny one (but seriously, who wouldn't?).

Nope. Didn't recognise any of them.
