I always got the impression that if someone wasn't involved in creating content they pretty much didn't know dick about it unless it got talked about on the Bombcast.

I kind of let my mind wander during podcasts fairly often so I wish when they were done talking about something they would say the name of it again. Like "ok that's everything for Game X, moving on."

Unrelated: What was the name of the game they were talking about that was like a Metroidvania where you don't get health back in save rooms? Was it Ori and the Blind Forest? I had the patience to try and figure it out myself but not the patience to re-listen to that part of the podcast.

Yeah I thought it was kind of cool that someone had a cutout of Dan's head until I realized it was loving Dan himself. What an rear end.

That doesn't make it less lame. When I thought a fan had made a giant Dan head it was kinda neat. When I figured out Dan had made a giant Dan head it just seemed really stupid.

If someone made a Kickstarter campaign with the goal of paying someone to go through all the Bombcasts and remove all the video game chat (leaving just everyone bullshitting around), I would pledge five or perhaps more dollars.

It's funny cuz invariably Jeff has given some lovely game like a 4 or 5 out of 10 and Dan is nodding in agreement saying stuff like "oh yeah, that game was TERRible. I think I only gave it like a 7 and a half" and they always gloss over the discrepancy.

There was at least once instance where Dan said something like that and Jeff replied "7 and a half is a good score" and Dan just kind of mumbled.

I finally caught up to be mostly current on Superbestfriend cast and it's really funny to hear what they say about a game vs what the GB guys said about it. The bitter cynicism of GB is even more obvious if you listen to a second set of grown men talk about video games, except they actually seem to like them.

Yakuza 1 and 2 is kinda like the early career of John Cena, then in 3 they put the belt on Daniel Bryan but he gets injured so you play grumpy John Cena in a Hawaiian shirt coming back to beat up all the heels (you are a tweener).

3 was the first one on PS3 and has pretty extensive videos you can watch from the start menu explaining the events of 1 and 2.

I remember with scorn the day I bought a new copy of Phoenix Wright instead of used so I could have the case and manual and the Gamestop clerks both made fun of me even though it was like a $2 difference.

Xavier Woods would be enormously epic sheerly because he plays a bad version of the FF fanfare on his trombone during wrestling matches but he also uses the trombone as a weapon and throws it exactly like a final fantasy character would in a Ps1 or 2 game and this isn't just me being a LOL teh random about it, it's actually heartwarming how much of a FF fanboy he is. But, he also has the best list. Awesome, simply awesome.

A few weeks ago he was at the announce table during a match and one of the regular announcers called one of the masked Mexican guys by the wrong name and Woods viciously yelled at him to get it right. It was pretty great and woods is pretty great.

And the dark zone loot extraction gimmick is really tense and satisfying. I wish the whole game was the dark zone and not just the one area.

The first time I played DZ there were like 5 of us taking out a bunch of mobs. When we called in the chopper some rogue agent tried to roll in and we all shredded him to pieces. I was still a little concerned since I was the lowest level guy there but ultimately we all just stashed our stuff no problem.

The second time I played DZ it was me and one other guy taking out some mobs. When the chopper got called in we hid against cover on opposite sides of the square. I could tell we were both aiming at the other guy's head just in case. We also both threw out our auto turrets (don't do anything to another player unless you go aggro first). It was a really cool and tense moment where we're both thinking "this guy could really ruin my poo poo I have to be ready for him."
