It seems to be a theme in Valve games. In Episode 2, there was a part where you were in an antlion nest being chased by a huge antlion. It was basically a big ring. Well, in testing it was more maze-like and stressful, but the testers complained about getting lost so much that they simplified it. It's kinda frustrating.

He's really funny.
Portal 1 is an amazing, clever and focused puzzle game that unfortunately got Undertaled by overzealous fans.

Portal 1 is an ok tech demo. Portal 2 is a fantastic game.

Remember when people (including me) thought Portal 2 was gonna be a stealth Half Life game because of the leaked achivements?
That would have been cool. Still an incredible game though.

Glad it wasn't. Keep your boring physical puzzle shooter out of my cool puzzle game.

I hope the WWE sign Stephen Merchant soon.
This is so cool. Fucking DAN.

I don't think Danny knows what chronological means.
This sounds like a lot of fun, hope it's good!
Haha, it's in the description and he said it so many times that it made me question "am I wrong about what chronological means?". Nope, Danny just does not know how to use that word.
Vinny must have been a backstabbing machine in Dark Souls 1 and 2 given how often he mentions it in Bloodborne. But BB doesn't play that way. And so far he doesn't seem to realize how useful the knock down ability of the fully charged R2 axe attack can be.
His parrying is impressive, though. Until late in the game I never really used it enough to get the timing down.

Gascoigne really forced me to get the parry on lock. Getting it decently mastered early was a great help.
It's too bad the game is kind of inconsistent about alerting you to which attacks can be parried and which can't.

Why has the site's player been extra shitty lately? Every video it seems like a dice roll of whether I need to stream it or use HTML5 or it won't work at all.
yeah I've been having to use youtube for most QLs. I usually use HTML5 with no problem :[
Glad I pay for a membership just to get an error message saying I don't have a license to watch.
I have too many podcasts, but will try to listen to this. The idea sounds neat enough.
this is not a lie

Beat me to it.Sounds like a dumb idea anyway.
I mean, War Rocket Ajax does pretty well with their "Every Story Ever" podcasts when it comes to comic book stories. The only thing I'd worry about is frankly, how much knowledge each guy has about video games in general. For instance, if this was a Gerstmann with a few people production, it'd be a must listen.
whoa really? I thought it would be longer, gonna play through it this week!

The fact that it came out of nowhere in that collection only added to its greatness. "Here's some new Half-Life and a new Team Fortress...oh and this little portal game." One of those games I wish I could go back and play for the first time all over again.

I remember both games being incredible. Top tier games, instant classics.

Weakest of the three but still a fantastic movie, definitely worth watching.

Watching the first half of UPF that I missed, that made a far better impression of VR than the entirety of the Oculus stream. Drew continues to be the best duder.
It's a real bummer. Hopefully they have an overhaul in the works.

If Shaun is 5 stars, and Hot Fuzz 4, World's is at the upper end of a 2

The co-op side story in Portal 2 is fantastic as well, definitely not throwaway stuff.

Oh man yeah, that was such a good experience. First playthrough was absolutely magical.

I liked Shaun but didn't like Fuzz that much. I should probably avoid World's in that case.

Watching a proper 60 fps twitch shooter being played with a gamepad is disgusting.
Yeah, sometimes I'll try to watch things in Chrome and it'll just remain on a black screen for 5 minutes indefinitely, and then I'll try again in Internet Explorer of all things and it loads up in 15-20 seconds. I've never understood why.
It's the least funny but it's maybe the best film of the three. I loved it, but it took me a second watch for it to really win me over. It's incredibly dense, more so then nearly any comedy I've seen. It's well worth a watch.
At least one of the editors has to keep up with gaming on consoles, so I'm sort of glad he still checks PS4 versions of multi-platform games.
Edit: I remembered they all played Division on PS4, so disregard that.
yeah... but I'm still surprised Brad did not play Doom on PC, where he's used to the twitchy games. or is the beta not open there?

So what you're saying is that it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it!
Hot Fuzz is the best one by far.
that Playdate accomplished less than any episode of Project B.E.A.S.T.

It's supposed to restore stuff, yeah. That has been so hit or miss for me, I never trust it. Titanium backup is the best sure-fire way to restore.
I see that opinion expressed online a lot, but not from anyone I've ever talked to about it.
Wonder if HF is a more internationally-friendly film?

Hot Fuzz > Shaun = World's End
Yeah it was a bit of an unexpected Factory Reset so I didn't have the chance to do a manual backup... Fuuuuck
Agree.... Hot Fuzz is so fucking good.

Damn good, I don't know what my favorite is honestly because I love them all. The World's End however is the darkest of the bunch but also features the best action(great use of long takes) and better performances from the leads then the other two films(especially from Simon Pegg)
