elf help book: Aug 5, 2004; Though the battle might be endless, I will never give up

oh hey brad wrote a review

"Roger Ebert once famously declared that video games can never be art, both because the intervention of a player robs an artist of their authorial control and because, more fundamentally, no game to date had managed to make any of us "more cultured, civilized and empathetic." Though Ebert eventually walked back his original position as overly rigid, Hellblade strikes me as a game that inches closer to meeting his original high bar, and I wish he'd lived to see it."

Maybe one day Patrick and Brad can be on a podcast together and then all other podcasts will be good

Patrick is singlehandedly ruining the Waypoint podcast by just being himself and also making Austin obsessed with PUBG

Brad, speaking to a man who lost half his skull to cancer: Yeah so you know, Hellblade is actually quite deep and hang on a minute. This guy doesn't want me to stand here haha. So you can do combos on the enemy like this and - okay well I missed that one but. Anyway the little glowy things on the minimap tell me exactly where to go next.

It's a must watch.

I'll always miss how Austin and Vinny were able to play off each other so well though, it's the real tragedy this century.

I thought that Austin and Patrick both being gone this year might make this the GOAT GOTY discussion, but Jeff being autistic about everything is really bringing me down. His babyrage over the dialogue in OW was lol.
