After he's lost all of his extra weight, we could all gang up and start talking about his posture.
He's been doing crossfit or something right?

They've got a couple of new playlists on their channel that I don't really understand.

Two episodes into re:view and I can't tell if I prefer the condensed with clips or the straight extended discussion version. There is a lot of great discussion being cut, but often times the clips they cut to are hysterical or add great context to the discussion.
Do both!

I mean I am lol, I'm just raising the conundrum about which is the ideal version in case I only have time to view one.

Assuming they're of a similar mindset of mine where I don't give a fuck about Warcraft, then I doubt it. Seems like one of those movies you only watch if you care about the franchise.
Should I get into Pre-Rec? I love the guys but I've seen their Zelda II and Shovel Knight episode and the format is a bit of a mess. They really need a third guy to help carry the discussions and help further elaborate. Any good episodes that will make me see the light?
That's some of their best half in the bags though. Plus it's Hollywood enough but will be a nice contrast to all the super hero shenanigans.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Warcraft double review tomorrow.
mike likes both

Again, reminder:
"We have been taking a small break from Half in the Bag for a couple of weeks because...well, who cares about the Ninja Turtles sequel? Or Warcraft? There's very little we would probably have to say about those. We'd rather use the time to focus on other projects."

I'd imagine HitB will return for Star Trek.
I think "The Order: 1886" is probably their best episode. And you could follow it with something like "Doom".
Lowered expectations. I'd expect Plinkett to return for Star Trek.

For sure no way they don't review that, maybe female Ghostbusters

This from their patreon?
It's nice the RLM guys don't feel obliged to watch every movie because they run a review show.
I really don't enjoy reviews where they just aren't interested. That transformers Half in the Bag where they split up their viewing was my last favorite "review" they've done.

I like watching HiTB when I've seen the movie they're discussing so that sounds good to me. There is no way I'm wasting my time with Ninja Turtles or Warcraft at any point in my life. The first Ninja Turtles movie was fucking horrid. You'd need a lobotomy to be able to sit through the whole thing.

As much as I'd like to watch those reviews, I understand their position completely. It's also not hard to imagine what they'd be.
Regarding TMNT, Mike would react with positive flavored apathy. He liked the schlock, but he's tired of this type of movie. When asked if he would recommend it he would hesitate and then say that he would only recommend it for certain audiences. It would be too little too late for Jay and he would not recommend it while conceding that it did right a few wrongs.
That's my guess.

maybe a couple of jokes making fun of Megan Fox's face around the 15-minute mark

The one where they watched all three at the same time? I thought that was hilarious!
I think he might be referring to the one where Jay watched the first part and then left the cinema, only for Mike to magically appear and watch the second part.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p3OquU4L1tc might be the one

Not gonna elaborate, but they replied to me and said my full name out on stream. That was kinda surreal.
Can I touch you?
davepoobond

Didn't agree with anything they were saying all stream, really.
Imagine the Uncharted video, but stretched out for the entire stream. And that's how it felt to me.
And i don't enjoy saying that either.
That's quite true. I was a little surprised.

I've come to accept that their gaming opinions just don't overlap with mine. Their Order 1886 review was quite humorous and it helped that they're coming from a film background. But their general opinion on games is just way too different from mine.

Yep, I usually can't argue against their opinions since they have valid complaints those things generally don't bother me though.
They're not really jaded, they're mostly just loudly and proudly ignorant. Very, very loudly.
Having strong opinions is fine, but their rants are too often based on stuff they don't understand or on the bizarre assumptions they make before they're even shown anything to get all shouty about. Sometimes both, like when they made a video consisting of nothing but Rich yelling that everyone should pirate Quantum Break because the game asked him to sign-in one time to authenticate his copy, which apparently meant that it's "always online."
I agree with this.The difference between Pre-Rec and Giant Bomb is that every individual GB member has been in the games journalism space for about 12 years longer than Rich and Jack combined.
Jeff Gerstmann comes off as someone who's been doing this shit for 20 years and he's literally seen it all several times over. Jack and Rich are just opinionated gamers who react to everything in a split second and straight from their hearts. Also they sort of suffer from the audience effect where they sometimes seem to get off on a tangent even more because they know people are going to react to strong opinions strongly.
