There's something very satisfying about hearing people sharing my hatred for auto-correct telling me I'm wrong for spelling "colour" the right way. Also I wish I was a rad animator person so I could do something with that Ikea segment from this week's podcast.

hubris.height posted:its hella weird that pat thinks "begins to cry like a little bitch when you leave the room" is a selling point on dogs Not to mention some dogs will literally destroy your poo poo because they think you left forever when you stepped out for a few hours. Object permanence my rear end. That aside, cats vs. dogs is always a dumb debate because there will always be poo poo dogs and poo poo cats just as there will always be awesome dogs and awesome cats. If you dislike one or the other is probably just because you haven't been around the right dog/cat. From last week's podcast, regarding the Reboot reboot - Pat (I think) was saying he was disappointed they ended the original on a cliffhanger with Daemon - or was wondering if the new series would touch on that. Woolie pointed out that they wrapped it up with a whole movie (which got divided into a season for tv play later) but I don't think he mentioned the part where they sort of ended on a whole nother cliffhanger of Megabyte being back, free, and being able to shapeshift and disguise himself as anyone. Or did I forget something?

Improbable Lobster posted:The CAD is currently worth $0.78 USD because Canada is a petrol state and petrol is worth jack poo poo right now. It's what happens when your economy is dominated by a single commodity. It's especially bad since CAD was averaging $1.02 USD before oil's price crashed. I know it's been bitched about on the podcast, but it's bullshit because when the dollar was strong, and in particular, stronger then the American dollar, nothing got cheaper. But you can bet your rear end stuff goes up when the dollar gets weak! (And then doesn't go back down when the dollar gets strong again) I think I remember paying like 80$ after tax for Hyrule Warriors. Steam switched over to Canadian dollar awhile back. I wasn't sure how to feel at the time because I figured it would mean they could follow retail price bumps and poo poo or charge us bullshit amounts like Australia. Thankfully it doesn't seem too bad currently. I just got Hotline Miami 2 the other day and it's a bit cheaper then if I was to pay for it in USD.

When Woolie got talking about the Reboot comic on the podcast I actually looked it up and paused the podcast to read it, less then halfway through I couldn't help but think "man the art isn't that good..." like the moment after I unpaused the podcast after I finished reading Woolie says "yeah but watch out the art isn't good." Although Megabyte looks pretty rad in robes.

A few pages late, but Pat kind of had a point about fire alarms, he was just too busy being Pat to make it well. False alarms ARE bullshit. I've been in the same spot where fire alarms were going off to frequently (once or twice a month for a few months) and it got the point where people just started ignoring them.

That was probably the one. The mark of a truly so-bad-its-good/entertaining game: multiple watches still prove funny. Also, along with Freedom Planet, Shovel Knight and Life is Hella Strange are on Steam sale today. Oxyclean fucked around with this message at 18:38 on Jun 18, 2015 |

Hijo Del Helmsley posted:Liam is on god-drat fire in the first Shattered Memories video. Is there an original source for that line? Or is it Zaibutsu-grown? It's one of my favorite gags, I always assume it's a reference to a fighting game or something. TheRealestMatt posted:
I thought the Fire Emblem trailer was kinda lame too, I don't think it told me anything new at all about that game and didn't show gameplay. The FExSMT or whatever that followed was even worse because I only knew what it was by process of elimination. I think it actively took away knowledge of that game. Couldn't agree more about ending the show on a high note.

Watching the Korra playthrough from awhile back - I love how Liam, despite (apparently?) seeing all of ATLA and S1 of Korra forgot Lightning bending was totally a thing, saying it was just a technology thing. Meanwhile Woolie, who's seen nothing thinks if it were to be anything, it'd be a subset of firebending.

I dunno, I kinda get where Woolie is coming from. I recall there being bookfairs, which would visit your school, and also order catalogue/forms you'd get periodically. Scam might be a strong word but it certainly had an air of siphoning money out of kids.

I remember some games in the catalogue back when I was in elementary. Granted it was mostly edutainment stuff. I regretfully made my parents buy some really lame/crappy math game that i barely ever played. e: Also, I think there's a certain aspect of peer-pressure/kids not being smart with money aspect to the book fairs. I always remember feeling like I didn't want to leave with nothing / hated the times where I didn't get to bring money or was the one kid who didn't get some neat pencil, pencil topper eraser, etc. Oxyclean fucked around with this message at 15:52 on Jul 7, 2015 |

The Sonic twitter also promoted Freedom Planet. Which spawned this exchange in the SBF subreddit comments: quote:They're just preparing us for the announcement at TGS of Sonic the Hedgehog 5 being developed by GalaxyTrail. Big Scary Owl posted:Wow, holy poo poo the backlash on the Her Story LP is loving insane. The comments section is a complete trainwreck, but I can't stop looking at it. I wonder if these people feel the same hatred towards visual novels. I really don't get it. I thought the play-through was legitimately interesting and entertaining, and I'm not really interested in visual novel sort of stuff. Like, to me it's a huge bonus to see people LP stuff I would have never played. I suppose people would have rathered videos of Matt and Woolie making GBS threads on it or something because it fits there preconceived notion that the game can only be bad or something?

quote:Korra, Life is Strange, and Freedom Planet all both got poo poo on when they first showed up. Korra because apparently it wasn't an amazing Platinum game. Life is Strange because apparently it's tumblrbait. Freedom Planet because furries. People came around on Korra and Freedom Planet, but drat if people don't relentlessly poo poo on Life is Strange. But none of those things were hated on because of the female protagonists (I think), in a sense that holds to the point Beep was making. The backlash was for all the other reasons people get butthurt about things. Life is Strange is also a a walking simulator game, but again, gently caress the haters, it's kind of interesting and I'm totally enjoying watching someone else play through it. Not denying people probably are being butthurt over Her Story being female-centric, just pointing out that it's not the only reason.

Radio Paranoia posted:I'm in the same boat. For me Her Story is way more interesting to see LP'ed than to actually play myself. And I was really hype for Freedom Planet, but then after watching the videos (while I enjoyed them), I don't really feel I want to play the game myself. If I have a few extra bucks lying about I'll totally kick the devs some money, but it will probably stay uninstalled and unplayed in my Steam library for ages. I felt this way initially but picked it up and just played as the other character and had a lot of fun!

Nah, it's not news because it's just the South-East Asia version that's already been english but was blocking IPs, just with less IP blocking now. Pretty sure they've established that one as not counting in the past. Doesn't help it's way behind the JPN version in features/contnet. Like, it has to be a -release- in NA, iirc.

Tae posted:I also can't tell if Matt was serious about distracting dinosaurs, because players at that level react to anything, including whiffs and fake fireball motions. Isn't there that whole thing of fighting games of not making up excuses why you lost? "no johns"? "The dinosaur distracted me" seems about as john as "the sun was in my loving eyes" (which is usually one of the examples I see for explaining "no johns") I kinda get both sides of the argument though.

Captain Invictus posted:When Metal Gear Solid wasn't another 2D game, did you say the same thing? Its kinda of the same thing with C&C Generals. It's a fun RTS, but it was poorly received because it deviated from the C&C theme and mechanics pretty heavily the the point it might as well not have been called C&C. Like why did Nuts and Bolts need to be a Banjo game? It's not like Rare couldn't have just come up with another wacky cartoon world with googly eyes on everything. Conker might have even made more sense. It's literally just dangling the IP to push sales.

The Kins posted:The other would masquerade as a HD remake of the first game, except each level would freak the gently caress out and take a weird turn (like the termites in the first world taking over the place entirely) halfway through. I don't remember why that was scrapped. That sounds kind of awesome. I wish I could remember what game I played that did something a little like this. Defying (well-established) expectations can be one of the most awesome things in games.

Haven't gotten to the Retro VGS part of the podcast, but this had my eyes rolling.  No patches and system updates! Because I totally trust that games made by the indies that they'll be able to goad into make games for them will be perfect, because not even NES and Genesis games ever had revision versions. Wii U's boot time is not exactly a travesty that makes me pine for ye old days of cartridge games. They say that they know a console is only as good as it's games...yet do nothing to really sell me that this won't just be another Ouya with a bunch of whatever games that will just be ported to another system because the dev actually wants to make money.

The low price of 100$ cheaper then a console that will play "retro" games and new ones alike. Also I wasn't aware discs were fragile media. E: Also, Pat got the WoW character boost thing wrong.

Rhonne posted:Yeah, but you only get those by paying extra for the special editions, so you're still pretty much paying for a character boost. No? Both the base and collectors edition of Warlords come with the character boost. Now, the expansion did cost 10$ more then previous, but that's just keeping pace with other games. There's literally no option to get the expansion without the free boost.
