God, now I'm seeing Tony putting someone in the camel clutch while doing a huge rail of coke.
Oh man, Twilight Princess Part 4 has something really strong in it. God, thank you Liam.
And oh god, if you actually choose to watch that video, know that it is not representative of the channel as a whole.
Oh man, do I've got the thing for you that is totally on topic for this thread and your ReBoot interest.

This keeps slipping my mind and it really shouldn't considering Gawkers longevity is now super up in the air over that I'd imagine. I do wish they'd mention it, but I'm not sure if they would have much to talk about besides saying it's nuts or some silly hogan jokes.

Watching the nepnep video and I'm kinda surprised they love the KH2 opening. I think it's really good too.
I wouldn't say it's flat-out better than the rest of the game, especially if you're playing FM+, but from a narrative point of view it's really strong.

Tony Montana talking about anime is one of the best things the channel has ever done.

I have fond memories of Scarface: The World is Yours. I did played bits and pieces of GTA3 and Vice City but I think I finished all of Scarface on the OG Xbox. I honestly like Scarface better than GTA since some of the mechanics made the game so much easier to play even without cheats (like getting weapons out of the trunk, the balls system, and the drug encounters).
I can't recommend it to everyone since making money in the game especially at the end takes way too many steps (get supply from Cuba, transport it to your warehouse by boat, distribute and collect money from your fronts while protecting your businesses from rival gangs). It just grinds to a halt and makes getting money to spend on collectibles for "influence" not worth it honestly.
Would play it again if our OG Xbox didn't die on us a while ago.

Does anyone know if the Best Friends talked about Daredevil season 2 on the latest podcast? I want to know what Matt thinks of how it portrays The Punisher.
Is that better or worse?

They did and said Punisher season 2 was the best.
It actually broke my brain for a sec.

I eagerly await a week or more straight of Pat shitting on Superman from low-earth orbit.
I was thinking the same thing. Out right kills the the big bad in that arc.
I'm glad I want alone with that thinking. The way that works out is really neat because reasons.

I think Woolie started Hunter x Hunter, but quit like 6 episodes in.
He said he really disliked the art.

Is it the art or the character design? Because the character design is oh so very dull.
Odd since the system with Nen and the different ways you can use it would really catch Woolie's interest.
Material for the next podcast.

I'm in the same boat as Woolie, in my case it's definitely the character designs. They look too "generic kiddie anime". Like something I'd expect of BayBlade.

Re: Heroic sacrifice, didn't it work out perfectly with Kittan in Gurren?
Yeah, and also how could the forget the best one of all...
The Iron Giant.
I still turn into giant blubbering baby at that "Super Man" Scene.

It also works (sort of) in Samurai Champloo. Works too well, I guess?
He watched 8 or 16 episodes. I forget how many. He was annoyed by how averagely shonen the hunter exam was and how he thought he could see everything coming from a mile away. I understand his early sentiments and the Heaven's Arena as a pseudo tournament arc wouldn't really help following it either if he went back to it.
He's the only real one who has much of an opinion on it. The others just whine about the art.
Character design most likely since Gon looks like Goku.
Really need to look past that since the designs are a wide net. A lot of color and variety like a One Piece.

I avoid One Piece for similar reasons. (Though, rather than generic, I just find the character designs in that actively repellent.)

Have they said when the NBA 2K16 story mode LP will finish? I made the mistake of getting bored and starting it without seeing if it was finished or updated in the last week.

I haven't checked in on One Piece since Impel Down but
is this real? What the fuck?

well, you're also using the anime image which is toei's shit tier work
luffy's whole thing is that he always typically looks silly doing whatever powerup, hell, there's a section in the series where they're fighting a huge giant, and the crew's reaction to it is try to do mecha docking https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqmWgUOoxHc&ab_channel=ashbird82 and you don't see it there but luffy's off marking out about it in the corner
conversely this is also the last arc the anime was actually really good at. one piece is pretty much the best weekly shonen running at this point, there hasn't been any huge dips in quality other than some pacing issues in the last arc (and mha is good but not to the extent one piece is) the current one piece arc is on track to be one of the best
if you're going to try to get into one piece, just read the manga, the anime is garbage now. Look up the cool moments like soge king's kamen rider intro or basically any of the cool moments before the timeskip (as the anime takes a huge dip in quality CUZ TOEI DON'T GIVE A FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK)
hunter x hunter also has huge issues with how it presents itself in the beginning (it has a ton of things that break out of typical shonen tropes but none of them manifest themselves for ages) and I was one of the people that was initially turned off by the character designs too, but it's legitimately good. i also thought one piece designs were stupid for a long time before biting the goddamn bullet and trying it

Right I totally forgot about that
The Gear 4th form looks dumb, sure, but honestly that was an almost natural progression for One Piece
If you wanted the protagonist to look powerful enough to stand on the same level as the big bads of the story this is honestly the best you can expect out of a character called Monkey D. Luffy
And even Oda knows it looks silly. The moment Luffy transformed, Donflamingo started talking shit about how ridiculous Luffy is looking, all bulked up and hopping on one foot because he's so bouncy he can't even stand still.
If I were to change just one thing about the design, it'd be the black color surrounding Luffy's eyes

I agree that modern Toei are a bunch of hacks, but they're in no way to blame for what's shown on that on-model still image because that's what the form looks in manga too.

It used to be sooo good in the beginning....
It just feels weird to complain about it being a thing now (and going it used to be so good) when it's basically an evolution of this which happened 9 years ago.
Luffy's powers have always been ridiculous and the way he puts them into practice has always been ridiculous looking. He has a fucking move where he flies around by spinning his legs and he calls it Gum Gum UFO, for crying out loud. Or just making giant fists, turning his body into a balloon, etc. I won't disagree that the form looks silly but I hardly think it looks outright bad or is ill-fitting with the series. Plus it's just going for that Kabuki-esque look as well.

But that looks so much better than the thing I posted. If they just took that and gave it the black coloring because fuck it? That would be 1000% improved.
As entertaining as it will be, I'm not looking forward to Pat pretending the movie is "incontrovertible" proof that he is fundamentally right about Superman (and I say this as someone who isn't especially fond of Superman).
Same. People have tried to convince me One Piece is so good, art and all, and I just go "Are you looking at the same thing I'm looking at?" I understand the anime apparently tanked the art, but even the manga doesn't look very good from what snippets I've seen.
The beginning of One Piece is actually trash compared to the later stuff.

Im honestly excited for this, it'll be a long ass argument that I can just chuckle about.
