They called it "chapo death threats" for like one episode, with a disclaimer that they were not real death threats.

It might be a reference to the old video game but more likely it's just a generally reference to duck hunting itself. Make a noise to scare a flock of them into flying up off the water, then open fire on the easy targets. Also I miss Chapo Death threats. It only lasted for like 3 episodes but it was great hearing them dish out weirdly specific and ludicrous threats of killing someone.

Early today a new episode with David Cross has shown up for free, but probably everyone here has seen it. However, remember that promised episode where Matt talks about gaming on that podcast Felix was at? Got dropped today as well!!

Really enjoyed this, and even though I still play games it really struck a chord with me. I remember when I was in a video game major my first year of college I loving hated everyone in my classes because their only identity was video games and it was so loving boring.

This past episode is probably my new favorite, from David Cross stumbling into an inside joke to Kasich's lunatic ramblings about moose. How the gently caress can he be so scared of a moose?

its pretty funny that the dry boys talked about how obvious it is that moose are terrifying and kasich is insulting his readers by implying they think moose are harmless but we have some poster immediately go "lol who would be afraid of a moose"

I'm very interested in the MGS series, but frankly don't have time to play all the games and don't particularly want to play really old games. Is there a particular LP that's ideal for experiencing the first games, and any particularly good sites/threads/whatever for analysis? Poking around online reveals this fandom stuff that seems to miss any actual analysis. Like I get that Johnny Sasaki is a joke on the concept of the invincible super-soldier, but the MGS wikia just humourlessly documents his struggles with IBS throughout the series.

It's a good game that stands on its own really well. If you enjoyed its gameplay, MGS Twin Snakes then MGS2. 4 is a culmination of both timelines' stories, so hold off on that one until after you've played what you want of the series. Peace Walker and MGSV continue the Big Boss storyline, but MGS4 is really understandable without having played Peace Walker, and MGSV is basically a sixth toe with really loving goddamn good gameplay.

Matt is mostly right as hell about video games but I'm still going to play them. I don't think video games are any more of a dead end than any other medium at the moment though. They might have a bigger hurdle to clear than movies/tv/books, but I think at some point we'll get to that horizon Alex claims is there. Probably after the completely collapse of the AAA industry due to untenable budgets/profit margins.

He was a fuckin weirdo in the football thread as well. Ever hear that story of Leicester City winning the English Premier League last year on 1000-1 odds? Guess who was suddenly a fan that season? (He's not anymore, naturally) Also he's one of these "I'm not a pedo, I just like teenage girls" types. Avoid this poster at all costs.
