"Does Mark Ronson wear sunglasses and play the guitar every time? Is that his job? Again, I saw him on SNL so..."

Yeesh, Alex really hated Quantum Break. More so than I remember. I enjoyed it so I'm expecting Vinny will like it. His gaming tastes matches mine the most. Play it soon, Vinbro!

The best thing about this one is that the corrections segment increased in length by about 10 times the normal amount after just one week of Dan.

i kinda want a QL with Vinny and Austin for the black vs italians jokes.

If the developers are using racism in this period as a joke, I think they're making a big mistake. That line about n-word Magic made me recoil. I don't want any parts of a game where I'm hearing the n word used as frivously as it sounds like Mafia 3 is using it.

Here's hoping they're consulting the right people of color on this.

i don't mean the game making the jokes but rather the Vinny x Austin commenting about the stuff that happens in the game between those two sides,.
 
I am a little confused here. It kinda sounds like in Mafia 3 they don't actually say "Nigger magic", but I can't tell? It would be real weird if Austin extrapolated that phrase if it's really not in the game.

it's not in the game. the mobs say "voodoo magic" and Austin was just saying that's what it probably meant from what he heard.

They have a Blackman in charge.

Ryckert you can say whatever you want about NMS, but I won't sit here and let you tarnish the legacy of MAG. That was a legit 256-player game. Yea, there were different objectives on the biggest maps. What did you want? 256-player TDM?
 
Man after reading countless amounts of feedback on NMS this week, I still didn't know whether to buy it. I thought for sure after listening to this podcast, I'd know one way or another.

I STILL don't know whether to buy this game or not.

I'd love to see that clusterfuck of a TDM.

man, not a single one of my corrections have ever been read on the show. I thought I sent in the David Cage one pretty early with a link as well. Kinda liked my explanation better as well since I explain more detail about it. Oh wells.

Nah they absolutely say something like Nigger Voodoo or Nigger Mumbo Jumbo. Maybe, maybe it was "black voodoo," but it definitely wasn't just "black magic." The mobsters said nigger in nearly every non-major mission fight I had with them.

Edit: I will add that there's a brother, Charles Webb, as a senior writer on the project, so that has been a point of constant optimism for me.

Oh ok, I thought you guys mentioned on the show that they didn't really say it. My bad.

edit: mods need to update your tag!
 
I lost my shit at Dan's "In the beginning". Holy crap. Sitting at work (a biomedical research lab) loving this correction section.
