Vinny is very bad at castlevania but I still like him!

I feel like he could probably knock out Super Castlevania 4 in one session, it's a lot more forgiving if I remember correctly.

I like Austin because I unironically think someone discussing Derrida while Vinny dies in the same place in Castlevania 20 times in a row is endlessly entertaining.

This performance art character of "Dan Ryckert" (in the vein of Ali G) is tolerable or even entertaining most of the time but wrestling bores me to tears. If Drew were so in-your-face about referencing Formula One all the time I'd probably dislike that too. But I guess we all have our preferences

Jeff was right, the fact that people are obsessed over cosmetics in a game played from a distant top-down perspective is even dumber than the usual microtransaction bullshit, at least TF2 characters take up more than 3% of the screen

I just watched that archive of Drew playing Rising Storm and it was really enjoyable to see him take things at his own pace and learn from his mistakes, it was a drastic difference to how he plays MGS. I really hope Jason teaches Drew fighting games becomes a thing.

Every time I hear comcept it makes me want to find a copy of culdcept for the 360. That was a good game.

I loved the PS2 version of that game. I like games that wear that kind of board game influence on its sleeve, you don't see that too often

I tried the same thing with Dota/League but it's a far more chaotic mess that can hardly be appreciated without knowing what each spell does and why it mattered, and 99% of commentators speak in so much lingo that i understand less than the korean stuff. The enthusiastic excitement still kinda carries over so that might be enough for you but after dozens of hours watching/asking friends who play i've given up on appreciating the skill level, that's nothing for filthy casual observers.

TI5 has a newcomer stream where the casters discuss the game for viewers with little to no knowledge of the game, and they run tutorial videos during the high-level analysis downtime

Electronic Sports League (ESL), which is one of the largest eSports organizations in the world, will soon introduce and begin policing performance-enhancing drugs at its events.

The news comes after Cory “Semphis” Friesen, a high level, professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player, admitted last week he and other members of his team at the time, Cloud9, used Adderall, a psychostimulant usually used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), during ESL's $250,000 tournament in Poland.

EG is a manifestation of the American Dream, a multicultural melting pot buoyed by the success of a hardworking immigrant, rising above all those Euro teams with their racial purity requirements, only to find that they can't solve "the China problem"

The most annoying thing about the "Dan Ryckert" character is that he defines his sheltered narrow white-boy Kansas poo poo-upbringing as "normal" and always seems unpleasantly surprised that in a world of seven billion people that others do things differently, I think the writers should take another pass at him for next season. Like, maybe have him castrated or something

The most satisfying end to the Dan storyline would be for him to end up in a prison bitch scenario, like I'm thinking something like with the albino from Banshee.
