Liam got past the easy part of the Code Talker mission

Keep in mind, they've said Lab Zero is done if this fails
whaaaaa
not trying again on kickstarter or something? Indiegogo seemed like such a big gamble for a project like this...
That serious huh?
Hope they make.
Nothing positive can be said about them that already hasn't been.
Game looks real tight.

Cool that they played Indivisible, the prototype is real good. In an interview with MikeZ, he was talking about the full game having character affinities and dual techs. Got me even more excited.
Just Liam being Liam really. Being contrarian and defending anything no matter how undefendable it is. My brain just tunes him out when he says dumb shit.
Ignoring it would be a whole lot easier if the games psychology wasn't built around trying to get you to do a thing plus it being functional even when your offline. FOB is one of the reason's I've not even went back to play MGSV for the gameplay (the gameplay the gameplay) I wish I could opt out of the system entirely. I can't be fucked unplugging my internet every time I want to play either...so way to go Konami, I guess? You killed what little enjoyment I could get from the game now.

So I hate to be "that guy", but if we're going to be giving them money via Vessel, should we not be getting videos every day similar to the Youtube scheduling?
Pretty sure he just said ignore it and don't buy it because it's the easiest way to antisupport the product. Vote with your wallet and all that. Sure, it's a shame that it exists. I might be just projecting my thoughts on to Liam, but I personally can't wage a war every time another company does a shitty business practice like this. That's just tiring. I doubt Konami cares at this point either.
Seems like the only time you guys will be satisfied is when Liam finally declares that MGS5 is a disappointment.
I'd hope they upload 4 videos tomorrow to make up for it. I want to say this is their first time fucking up the Vessel so benefit of the doubt, but man, is it fucking dumb that they've avoided fixing this for an entire day and within the first week of "launching" it.

I tried asking one of them if there was suppose to be vids on Vessel today, he didn't know why there wasn't.

Between 4 guys I find it baffling how this type of stuff still tends to happen. It's like there's a lack of communication.
you actually think they talk outside of when they have to record?!? they aren't actually friends you know, just colleagues.
for real tho shit happens.
edit: I'm actually not even sure how they handle Vessel. maybe it's Machinima that just takes the video off their channel and then uploads it to Vessel for them ,could explain why the vids go up at a weird time (sometime 1pm sometimes 2pm). it'd make sense as to why they didn't fix it when i told them.
3 vid per day is for special stuff.

Eh, I wouldn't read too into it. Just the usual harping on Liam's defensive attitude he takes towards most things. Though it'll be nice when the Metal Gear LP is finally over so people can move on instead of being bitter about it all the time.
I thought the page was just messed up for me, but good to know that nothing was uploaded today. Most likely a mistake, but you got to be on the ball with these things with money involved.

They'll find new things to complain about, I'm sure.

I figured that Vessel just uploads them as soon as they show up on the content providers feed, and if that's the case I'm guessing that means nothing new has been recorded/edited in a few days.
Again though, probably just a mistake. As long as this isn't a consistent thing I don't mind.
vessel videos actually load pretty fast, player is decent. try watching an older vid on it.
Consistent mistakes on the SBFP channel?!? I don't think we've been watching the same channel.
Meant as in speeding up the vid itself on youtube settings to 2 times the speed.
EDIT
Wait a min. just saw it had that too
thats cool.
I wish I had known back then. The video player works and loads pretty well too.

You're just paying to get to see things early, right? Or did they talk about a schedule for Vessel specifically?
Vids should still go on Vessel before they hit youtube regardless, so as long as they don't screw up that schedule you should still have a steady flow of videos I imagine.
the only vids that don't go up 3 day in advance on vessel are then ones where they just upload it and release it like for the Transformer video that was a simultaneous post on all 3 platforms.

Honestly, not even talking about the podcast. I more or less expect that Liam prepares for each recording by making up a list of controversial shit to say before even arriving.

The idea that this entire mess with FOBs and the always-online nature of them is to support the Easter Egg
nuclear disarmament
Big Boss's Birthday
The core gameplay loop of FOBs is designed, in the way of most smartphone games, to bilk money. Not particularly well, mind, but the intent is slathered over every facet of the system. I get that Liam loves his babbeh phone games and secretly wants everyone else to like Big Boss's Cow Clicker like he does, but it's ridiculous to try and portray it as somehow being in service to a noble end for the sake of a massively circuitous defense of the product.
Liam is either really cold on something and people are shocked he doesn't care or he is really heated on stuff and says some brutal stuff directly from his mind without any filter and people are shocked again.
Learn to expect it and never be surprised.
Pat hates everything till someone forces it down his throat and then loves it.
Matt can't be figured out.Usually dismissive since their interest never overlaps alot and Woolie is just Woolie.

It still amazes me that compared to other groups like Giant Bomb and Mega64, they are still 4 guys who do everything themselves.
With the occasional intro animators.
Actually I think it's more that a lot of people way overreact whenever one of them says something they don't agree with.

I think Woolie just secretly loves trolling his fans. Like he reads every complaint about everything and just does the complete opposite to make people even more salty.

Probably because of Marvel.
I don't care if Liam loves it or not. It's pretty clear now that the game could piss in his eyes or rape his cat and he'd find a way to defend it. Everyone agrees that the FOB insurance is heinous and disgusting...Liam is dead set that it is needed for some bullshit reason that barely justifies anything.
Like I said before and Imperfected said (probably better than I did) ignoring it can only get you so far when the game (like a mobile game) is built around trying to gouge you and psychologically assault you.
The guys can have opinions I disagree with. Hell the other members like things i don't like or say things I don't agree with and that fine. But at least there is logical consistency. Liam always has to play devils advocate for the sake of nothing at all. At first I just thought it was for the sake of the podcast so they don't sound too insular (which they don't as they disagree all the time) but now it seems like he just does it for shock value or to be different. It really gets up my nose for some reason. Recently more than ever.

If they can get the MGS4 Let's Watch on there, I'd sub in an instant.
It bugs you because the Konami shit bugs you and it does not bug him. Liam has said that the whole situation is fucked and sucks and Konami deserves shit for it. However, it isn't ruining the game for him like it has for you. Yeah he can get a bit butthurt over things he likes being trashed but in this case, eh...like dude said above there isn't anything people can do but ignore it or stop playing the game...he chose to ignore it as he obviously finds the game to be fun enough to get through the shit.
I also think people won't be satisfied until they all shit on the game as some "fuck you Konami" shit as if that would do anything. Konami has made their bed already. But since Liam isn't goin in as hard as GAF has on the game because of Konami's shit, it pisses you off because it looks like he's defending the practices when he really isn't. He says they are shit but it hasn't gotten in the way of the game for him.
I find MGSV to be very dissapointing but it is for other reasons more so than Konami being a shit. Those reasons did not ruin the gam for me...doesn't mean I think they are ok..it is just that they do not matter to ME. It sounds like Liam is the same, except he still finds the game to be super fun and that is all that matters to him.

You can see it really well when they use the camera flash. There's a number on each side when she's hanging.
Usually it's a 4 temperament ensemble.
Liam being the optimist
Pat the cynic
Woolie the realist
Matt the ambivilent
Spoilers for undertale vessel
NGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH !
The undertale LP is really damn entertaining. Matt and Liam are having so much fun, it's another one of these games, like Until Dawn, that feels like it's made for them. Also they've been reading the comments too it seems, they've improved a lot. Although it takes a bit to understand Undyne's gimmick !
Can't wait for more eps of this, loving it
