Geez, how often is your power going out?
Not that often but it was more common before I moved to Canada.

Yes, it's babby mode for babbies.
If you have trouble with the beat, play any number of rhythm games on the Nintendo systems to sharpen up.
I thought the purpose of the game was the friends we made along the way?
so is there a translation for this song i remember hearing it but its only just struck me how incredible it is.
imagine marrying that dreamboat
weekend!

I keep thinking you guys are talking about Dark Tower and I get momentarily excited
Enemies move when you do so there's still that enemy pattern part of the game. That character does start with one less heart so it's harder in that regard.
the rest of the Beast crew already played and beat it. they discussed it on Beastcast this week.
edit: i saw your edit just now.

with my wrist issues I couldn't really play it normally for more than like 5 minutes. the bard made the game into something I could do.
and yeah I wouldn't really say it makes it much easier.

So ok, I have a legitimate question that I'm looking for some sorta serious answers to. That thread on amiibo currently on gaf has a lot of people complaining that it's overpriced DLC to lock optional content to an Amiibo. So like one, it's absolutely optional purchase, which isn't any different from any other DLC ever. Two, why do people seem to forget you can use Amiibos multiple times in multiple games? Doesn't that end up making them a net positive investment, if Nintendo continues to put out optional content like this down the line?
Are Amiibos really so bad, and why do people seem to hate them so much?

people just like to hate on toys in general. that's alright. i like them. Dan likes them. you like them.
Any time you lock content behind a separate purchase for any reason, a certain group of people will always be pissed. There's also the standard anti-nintendo folks who take it as an opportunity to continue the console wars and people who just hate physical things in general.
So far, amiibo content has been pretty worthless to me. Even the Zelda Twilight Princess stuff that people are all up in arms over seems pretty minor and worthless overall. I do own a few amiibo (the splatoon 3 pack, Marth and Shulk), but the Splatoon ones are the only set I bought for content reasons. I judged it like I would judge any other DLC. I looked at the silly repeat challenge maps they unlocked, the extra outfits and extra mini games and determined all that was worth an extra $30 to me. The figures were a bonus. It was silly, but I wanted to give more money to show Nintendo just how much I liked Splatoon.
Amiibos are the fucking worst, and this has nothing to do with Dan. DLC was already the worst, limited supply inflated cost DLC that takes up physical space managed to lap the entire field in the race to be the worst.
Did you see that knack thread lol, people are kinda hateful to anything
Amiibos are overpriced DLC. I will never own one, but it is shitty that I have to buy a physical, relatively expensive toy if there is content in a game I want to get.

I guess for me the figures are generally nice enough quality that I desire them for that reason alone in a few cases, Mewtwo, Meta Knight, and the Splatoon set especially. Maybe it is just the physical figure problem for people... Although if you really hated it, you could buy that amiibo falsifier sold by Codejunkies.
See that second part was definitely a really bad problem, but Nintendo stepped up their production game lately with rereleases and general availability is pretty good now for even the rarer American amiibos. I just got Lucario the other day, and I haven't seen him in stores ever.

Yeah, besides the Splatoon stuff, I bought my other 2 amiibo because I wanted figures of those characters. I would buy more FE amiibo, but sadly they are the stupid rare ones. Amiibo just aren't my favorite style of figure anyway. I would gladly pay $40-60 for a nice Figuart/Figma style figure of Shulk or some characters from FE, but the characters I'd want don't seem to get that treatment.
Figma Lucina was really really tempting, but she went up for preorder at a bad time for me.
As a collector of dumb plastic things, I'm really not into statues. Amiibo seem kind of expensive to me for what they are.

speaking of rhythm games and collecting plastic things, I'd probably buy an XBO if they made Beatles Rock Band backwards compatible
talk about your RDRs and your Burnout Paradises, this is maybe my vote for game of the generation

I imagine Twilight Princess HD with traditional DLC for the same cheats would rile people up just the same.
Ignore the jumbo Mario power-up and Super Mario Maker gets it right by keeping it all cosmetic. I'd argue a hypothetical TPHD where Ganondorf amiibo unlocks, say, a fierce deity themed outfit, is better for both sides. Nobody seems to get too upset by cosmetic DLC these days. Horse armor, truly before its time.

After talking to a friend about lack of content, I suddenly want an Austin/Vinny video segment where they build professional grade Gunpla and shoot the shit about either anime or just general life stuff.

why does a lack of content almost always end in anime and gunpla

the word was developed in a laboratory by scientists who wanted to make sure you sound like as much of a tool as you possibly can when talking about it
these are the world-famous scientists that also came up with "vape" and "anime"
yeah, but japan don't care

Gundam plastic model. The last part is more or less dropped because you assume it's a model.

I just booted up MGSV after not playing it for a couple months and I have no idea whats going on. Somehow I have like 8 million GMP and all of my base facilities are full.
yup
Really? It sounds cute in a quirky way, which is appropriate considering what it is. I hadn't even heard the word until trendsetter Austin made it a thing around here, and lately I've been tempted to give it a shot.

Probably the best podcast of the year so far
You assume it's a model? What about when Gundam runs out of ridiculous titles and has a series called "Gundam: Plastic"? And more importantly, who would rather say "gunpla" than "GUNPLAMO!"
