What's with Jick playing 15% of a game and then having hilariously uninformed opinions on it, while Kevin awkwardly tries to have a reasonable conversation about it? It happened this week with Diablo 3, and again last week with Don't Starve.

Is this just some weird meta-commentary on Jick Is Bad at Video Games that I don't get as a new listener?

I just listened to an episode of Super Best Friendcast and it's so much fun.

I was had put off giving it a shot because I was a little intimidated by the 3 hour run time, but it flew by.

Some might not like how they yell over each other trying to get a punch line out, but that doesn't happen that often. It's not for everyone but now I'm hype about listening to their previous episodes.

I thought it was funny that Chris described Eddie Murphy's comedy as being "raw" while not remembering that the special he watched was called Raw.

This got a chuckle out of me too. Also when I was trying to remember the other stand up special I made the same Delirious/Notorious mixup.

The original Turok had an option for using the C-buttons as movement and the analog stick for aiming and it was the best way to control that game. I've kind of always had a soft spot for using the left stick to aim since then - I do way better in games like RE 4 than I do in regular twin-stick shooters because of this.

I think Goldeneye had this too, somewhere in the options.

I beat Dark Souls a couple weeks ago, and finished Season 1 of Bonfireside Chat today and it was really good. Looking forward to listening to the Dark Souls 2 season after I play the game (probably during the next Steam Sale).

In the meantime, what duckfeed podcast should I listen to next? Also what does Gary's cat look like? It sounds cute.

Comics have suffered their own setbacks (mentioning The Bechdel Test will probably incite as much nerd rage as Tropes vs. Women) but it's easier to create/publish a comic book which leads to a more diverse audience of readers and creators. If you have a piece of paper and pencil you can create a comic which definitely caused a huge backlash up until a few years ago when webcomics and digital publishing exploded.

There was a lot of blow-up when lady Thor was announced. Though I'm not sure how many death threats Whoopi Goldberg received.

Podcast hosts out there: please play Dragon Age Inquisition. The moment to moment combat is pretty mediocre, and the ui is meh, but the high level and story stuff is keeping my interest. I want to hear what others think about this.

Listen to Crate and Crowbar. They've talked about it in the past few episodes, in a lot of depth.

Even for people that don't care about Inquisition, it's a very good show about PC gaming.

If the interview didn't hit the ground running with the equivalent of "When did you stop beating your wife?" people would focus more on the context of it.

What I want to know is: who are these people that have seen Molyneux's resume of the past 10 years (Black and White, multiple Fable's, Milo, etc) and still giving him loads of money?
