This was the first Saturday Morning Scrublords I've watched, based on comments in this thread. I really dig the opening as a sequel to the Friday night fisticuffs opening. Top work, zaibatsu.

This is a weird place to ask, but Bio-Freak reminded me of a game I played 15 years ago, it was a fighter where you played as action figures in mundane locations (kitchen tables, bedrooms) and while fighting you could punch out limbs and the head and stuff and it was really silly. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

Man I could not understand that guy from Team Four Star at all in the Xenoverse episode.

That aside bit bummed. Xenoverse is a pretty fun game when you get the controls down v:v:v

Yeah, Xenoverse is way better than the guys gave it credit for. It's basically Dragon Ball x Monster Hunter.

I always thought the best friends hated DBZ, so I would never expect them to like Xenoverse no matter how good it is.

If there's one thing a DBZ game doesn't need it's Monhun RNG bullshit.

I can't imagine Monhun having as bad RNG as xenoverse. It is possibly the worst ever, because of how many layers of RNG it is to get one single item.

I'm convinced people who think Mon Hun doesn't have as bad as a RNG if not worst has never played up to G rank or arguably the tail end of high rank

20-30 minute elder dragon fights for a chance to drop a item, usually needing 7-10 attempts for one drop (when you need like 3 or 4) is so much loving worse then anything Xenoverse could ever do.

Monhun's RNG is significantly worse, but the fact that Xenoverse has an RNG to decide if you actually get the chance to get hosed by the RNG is insanely stupid.

It's definitely too far the other way, but I'm kinda glad it has replay value since the last DBZ game I played, BT3, had none at all.

I think it speaks to the quality of Xenoverse that it can have that admittedly bad thing and yet still be a great game.

Xenoverse is fun. Monhun is a dumb abbreviation. Diablo 2 is the best skinner box.

If that's the case they sure do know a whole lot about a thing they don't like. Like I don't care about Dragonball so all I know is that Freiza poo poo and that it would come on after Sailor Moon on Saturdays on local tv. Yes it's me, I am the Toriyama of us.

They...didn't seem that negative? Like, they made fun of the game, ya know, like they do with every game. By that logic they also seemed to really hate RE4 and Silent Hill I guess.

Also yea, I like Xenoverse but an RNG to decide if you even get a chance for the RNG you want is dumb and bad.

Maybe someone that isn't as familiar would take the dead pose at the end as a negative instead of a positive that Yamcha's death pose is its own "greeting."

If they DIDN'T like G Gundam, they're even more wrong :colbert:

For those that don't know, G Gundam was essentially a Gundam series if they intentionally made everything ridiculous.

There is approximately zero chance that the animation does justice to Murata's art.

There's nothing special about me.

Cautiously optimistic. Last time something Murata drew got adapted, it was Eyeshield 21, and that anime was painfully terrible looking.

I seriously hope the animation is amazing at every point except Saitama. It's only right.

Nope, doesn't ring any bells, thanks for trying. If it helps, it didn't have any weaponry or special stuff, just pure fighting with punches and kicks. It's probably some bland nameless PC game really.

I was talking to some friends and was just about to leave pax when I turned around and spotted a familiar skullcap and dreads hunched over a table. Woolie and Matt were exhausted, sorry if I was bothering you guys when I said hello!

Dunno what it is about pax that just exhausts you in every way, but even not doing much except seeing panels and playing a shitload of 8 player smash I am tuckered out myself.

yeah I love the beef being brought up from team fourstar, looking forward to the next vid of the final showdown if there is one!

also Plague is huge into YouTube commenting, he especially hates the redletter medias 'previously recorded' vids, there's several of their videos where he's the top commenter blasting their opinions on videogames.
