I want them to keep Nail and Kami around for the rest of the series. The 17/Piccolo fight could be AMAZING.

I'm excited for this too. Suddenly Buu's got three namekians going on and on in his head, trash talking him while Vegeto is beating him to a pulp.

I'm going to be very disappointed if they aren't. They've been great so far, and having them peanut gallery his fights would be priceless.

There is at least a point where Cell talks using 17's voice, so I imagine they could do something with that.

Yup. Tries to convince 18 to let him absorb her to be with her brother, fulfill Gero's wishes, etc. It doesn't take.

Goku was really hungry in that fight and then Yamchu just gives up, even after coming to the next tournament, he just seems Goku fight once and then throws his hands up and give up.

He didn't give up, he saw Bulma and ran for it since he was still afraid of women.

Yeah, that actually looks like a cartoon, I hate the shading in most other games though, it makes them look like plastic dolls.

All of their voice actors are usually great and their voices are normally pretty distinctive, but Dr. Brief's first line just sounds like Anderson, including the accent.

You're right - it's truly a display of next-gen prowess.

When in doubt, add more gloss.

The gloss looks ridiculous. There was a fangame for the PC that showed how to do nextgen DBZ textures right, and it was posted in here recently.

But I've yet to figure out a better way to spend my time.
Anyone not watching TFS's playthrough of Dragonball Z Budokai 3 on their website is seriously missing out. I'm not a fan of their "Character x plays y" series, but the Budokai 3 playthrough is great because they're not in character and the most recent episode (4) is especially hilarious.

There are a few episodes of Renegade for Life which I like, particularly the one where he does that children's adventure game.

I wish I hadn't watched that on first because it made the rest of it look so much worse.

Although the Trials one was great too.

Yeah, that one's pretty good. The Krillin ones aren't too bad, especially his run on Alien: Isolation.

That said, I kind of wish they filled more of these DBZ game videos with info about the games instead of "OH poo poo YOU GOT BEAT AGAIN!"

The Dead Space ones were alright too, at least the ones I saw. They definitely realized there needs to be more to it than "Krillin is loving horrified," to be funny for more than a minute.

Here's the Renegade for Life I was talking about, in case anyone doesn't know.

Yeah, I think Alien: Isolation works because it gives a lot of other problems and puzzles to figure out so they can build off it. As with the main series, it's a learning process and they're getting better.

Given the Vegeta LPs all tend to be one-off runs too, I think that'd be nice and I don't think it'd be too hard. But, as I've discussed with my friends many times, I tend to watch LPs to learn about the game rather than raw entertainment and Team Four Star overall lean more towards the latter.

You dump everything into health first. drat it guys, it's been years since I played the game and I still know that. Also they don't know how to loving block. :argh:

Vegeta playing Goat Simulator was pretty great, though.
