I always liked Gundamu.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I always thought the person running a quicklook was suppose to be showing off the game and explaining what it is, what you can do in it and being able to answer questions that someone who put 10-20 hours into a game could feasibly answer.
Why is it in every quicklook I have ever seen with Brad running it, most of it is him being like "Man I put some time into this game" and the other person being like "Okay well can you do x?" and him being like "Uhhhhh... I don't know" pretty much all the way through it along with him constantly being like "Oh man I never saw this, oh man I didn't know you can do that" all through parts he has played previously.
I know the GB guys have sort of had snarky jokes and responses to people telling Brad he is bad at games over the years and laughing it off.
But the reality is... he's kind of surprisingly ignorant about them at the very least.
I wouldn't care if it was like a one off case or something but he's always like that and I find it to be baffling.
If you put some time into a game, especially if you might quicklook it, one would think you might pay some attention to it as you play and maybe look and fiddle with different things to see what they do, it's not like he has to know everything back to front but being able to having a pretty decent understanding of the fundamentals of a game as most people would after putting some significant hours into it, is pretty important if you're showing it off.
The others don't generally seem to really suffer from this same problem nearly as much.
It seems like he would be better off doing blind quicklooks so then you get pretty much the same result, but you don't have expectations.

I think Brad just doesn't have too good of a memory.

Yeah I ended up watching the movie last night. It was real dumb, and the first person sequence is one of the duuumbest things I've ever seen in a movie.
The Rock was great as usual and a surprise Rosamund Pike is always appreciated.

Yeah, they really are. I hate that Nintendo seems to spend so much resources and focus on things I have no fucking interest in (hate plastic trinkets like figures etc), and even goes so far as to lock content behind them.
Between all of Nintendo's fuckups this generation, amiibos are maybe the one thing that pushed me farther away from Nintendo than anything else. Real bummer.

As a man who just bought an umaru nendoroid, amiibos are OK.
It's scary that I can't tell if you're serious or joking :S

Just whip out recorder and put it up as a podcast. Giant Bomb Anime Minute.
Oh god, where is the content.

I'll be posting a list later today, in a few or so hours after I gather up everything and check. Keep an eye out.

Then I've done my job right.
But he was asking for serious answers, so I answered seriously. I really don't care for the whole amiibo thing Nintendo has going on right now.

oh man, I just realized that we're probably never going to see the West crew watch the rest of Panic
I get the feeling if they just offered the unlocks on the eshop somewhere (maybe in the form of a digital amiibo card or something to keep it ON BRAND) there wouldnt be as much backlash over them.
I'll listen to it when it's on Apple Music and not Tidal.

I need some help - a few weeks ago on the Beastcast (I think) a game was mentioned that they ageeed was like Psi-Ops and I think they even said a few of the devs that worked on Psi-Ops worked on this new game. Any idea what it was they were talking about?
Not sure about the Beastcast, but they made that same reference here in the Gemini: Heroes Reborn quick look. So I think this is what you're referring to.

Yes! That's it. Thank you so much.

it's kind of amazing that CBS is okay with actually hosting military grade psychological warfare.

Austin on twitter pretty much sums up my thoughts on The Life of Pablo. Not at all cohesive and kinda ugly in spots, but still super fun in spite of it all.
Ye's flow gets worse with every album though. Chance's verse made him look like a hobo.

i still need to listen to kanes new alblum
Yeah, and his lyrics. He was always better at producing, though. It's cool that he featured Chance, Future and Post Malone. Hope to see them getting higher.
(Frank Ocean, what are you doing?!)
I wanna dance to Fade.
The 'I love Kanye' skit was the epitome of the fun in this album.

You're a big guy.
First segment was OK. Last segment is a must watch to see Old Dan emerge again.

Not sure if serious. Considering the range of properties Gundam encompasses (anime, models, assorted merch), Gunpla is a great shorthand to specify what you're talking about or looking for.

In the same vein, MGScanlon V is exhibit A for why it is indeed very possible to play a game wrong
