I'm still lost on how a 90 minute video constitutes a "quick look" to be quite honest.

They used to be 20 minutes max at the very beginning but it turns out that's pretty much useless

Losing Ryan hurt a lot, and losing Vinny on the podcast was a bummer, but I can't say Patrick is someone I really associate with the media side of GB much.

I didn't really watch much during when Ryan was alive; I really got into watching GB content daily with Spelunkin' With Scoops. I always liked Patrick, never understood why so many people found him so insufferable. Perhaps naive in his idealism, but I don't see how that inspires hate. Spookin I didn't enjoy as much, but I enjoyed Patrick's content.

GB's weaker these days than it was, but still enjoyable to watch. Usually informative as well.

I actually like anita sarkeesian because she makes boring videos that say the most basic feminism 101 poo poo and losers on the internet get obscenely angry about it.

Seriously, her videos are like "Women in video games are often portrayed as little more than motivation for male characters" and then the comments are stuff like "shut the gently caress up you bitc hore ur trying to destory what mad gameing gr8!!!! Fcuk u". The disconnect between the lack of actual content in her videos and how much people read into it is hilarious.

We shouldn't need to hear what she says, but sadly we do. And she gets death threats about it.

Yeah Patrick has been running solo for so long it's no surprise he's moving on from GB

Last-gen systems aren't being supported with new patches though so get the nextgen/PC RoS if you wanna Diablo, is my advice.

It's not any single encounter so much as the general level of difficulty and the chance to get your poo poo wrecked in a single round. Like I get ambushed by a demon, get hit by two super effective attacks and then by the time I get to input actions two of my dudes are dead. I think I need to take team building alot more seriously than 'use whatever dudes with high strength/magic stats' and try and coast it like I did in Strange Journey and Persona

Elemental weaknesses and resistances are essential in Mega Ten, same with buffs and debuffs. This isn't like Final Fantasy where you can coast by without really paying attention to stuff like that.

Well I got my 500gig for 120$ with 1 controller off cl. L2/r2 were borked so I bought & returned it to gamestop. Then hit bf deals and b2g1 and kongregate points into a 10$ off coupon. I have done very well. Plus all the games are new to me. Greatest divorce present ever.

I'm kinda in that boat. I have a ps3 and have played all the uncharted games, but I like being behind, getting games cheaper is cool with me. So in terms of best games to grab for the system cheap, what are the general thread recommendations? Also I really want to play DDR, but the game is going for 200 freaking dollars on amazon. What's up with that?

General recommendations for PS3:
Get PS+ and just play whatever games are free each month for a year
