It was funny until he finished the game and brought it with him to other videos.

Early Spoony was great. Check out his Phantasmagoria 2, Ripper, or SWAT 4 LPs.

I'd watch that if the premise was "some friends do a co-op LP of swat 4" and not just "some goons." If there's no chemistry, then it might flop.

Speaking of Lets Plays Spoony did a pretty good Lets Play of SWAT 4 back when he was still watchable

Honestly it did SWAT 4 a huge disservice. It was a great game, made to look bad by his incompetence. The canned responses by your squad members were annoying, though, that much I'll give him.

Swat 4 basically needs good chemistry to even play later levels. People MIGHT be able to blunder their way up to A-bomb, but anything after that, if you're not a solid team you're basically hosed. Even WITH a solid team, some of those missions are dick-grindingly tough.

Might be tricky to find a group of 5 friends who play SWAT 4, but goons with good chemistry would still be awesome. It's definitely one of my favorite games.

I think you are talking about the wrong game. There were A-bombs in SWAT 3, which was an etremely unforgiving and difficult game, much more so than SWAT 4, but there are no A-bombs in SWAT 4.

i've seen a couple of attempts at playing the game in coop and amazingly the people would invariably end up doing far worse than the AI. Talk whatever crap you want about the AI, at least it follows some procedure instead of just charging blindly into hostile territory.

The night club is where I got stonewalled on single player. The way the rooms, AI, and shooting are set up it's very easy for your AI SWAT buddies to end up walking directly into shooting range in big open rooms without opening fire, letting them get nailed. And the lack of iron sights and horrific accuracy of guns without stopping to aim means good luck hitting the bad guys first.

The dance club is the first map which requires you to issue separate orders to your two teams, and once you accept the need to split your guys and order them around through the remote camera view, it becomes quite easy. In fact, the cleansing of the upper level lounge from both entrances at once is probably the most satisfying moment in the game.

Please try playing SWAT 3 if you think SWAT 4 is difficult, that game was a loving nightmare.

I don't know who this Wil dude is, but it's funny seeing people like Troy Baker and Yuri Lowenthal sit around a table, playing some board games that i've played with a few friends myself.

They dropped the ball by not getting Vin Diesel to join their RPG session, though.

It's Wesley Crusher from Star Trek. That was like his sole claim to fame other than being an uber geek who yells at people on Twitter.

Geek & Sundry have a weekly RPG campaign on their Twitch channel with different folks which I find more entertaining, despite it being long and not filled with animations etc.

When you say that, do you mean "nerd culture" of the gamers.txt or grognards.txt kind, or a more general culture of people interested in nerdy stuff? Because as far as I am aware Wheaton is a stand up guy.

I mean I know he was a kid and it was a long time ago but did people just forget Stand By Me?

I don't hate Wheaton, but most of what I have ever gone to him for was neat tabletop games to play with friends, and that series has plenty of other personalities to make it interesting. The Cards Against Humanity episode of Table Top (featuring Aisha Tyler amongst others) is pretty good.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QCEqUn7If44

Also I thought it was neat early on in Table Tops life when retailers would actually have little Geek & Sundry stickers on games like Settlers of Catan and Ticket to Ride
