Speaking of which, do you guys plan on covering Metal Gear Rising at some point in the thread or will it be mainly the Solid games and maybe the original two as a stream at some point?

we're definitely going to do Rising, I already told Dan I want to see it. He says he's garbage at it though but he says that about every game and he's usually able to win them at least.

we haven't talked about the first two games I think, but they'll probably be hellstreams maybe? Maybe i'll get to guest star this time? who knows. I think we did talk about how they're included in one of the HD ports we played already.

Okay, what is the Internet's obsession with making GBS threads on The Scarlet Letter? I did a whole thread on this on this very forum and I still don't get it. It's a very short book about a woman saying gently caress you to a bunch of Puritan pricks. That's it. It's about strength and not being cowed by society. You think more people in this liberal age would appreciate that. That they would appreciate a novel about feminism and individualism but I guess not.

Grrrr.

And yes, To Kill A Mockingbird is awesome.

For me, the issue with The Scarlet Letter is Hawthorne's prose period. I'm just not a fan of the way he writes his sentences. They meander on and on without getting to a point. It's sorta my problem with American Romanticism period, but Hawthrone was really bad about it. I didn't like The House of Seven Gables either because of the same reason. Although I do love me some "Young Goodman Brown." Maybe he's just better in short doses than in full.

Grace insisted on recording despite being sick, then later yelled at me for making him record while sick, then passed out for like 16 hours and afterwards kept apologizing for not recording anything.

I really, really needed the laugh that came from Snake breaking his neck on the stairs. It was just as hard as the ones coming out of you two.

Also it's a shame you didn't try for a Xmas special...I know The Perfect Game you could have played for that...

We were TOTALLY going to do a Christmas special, we even talked a little about it. Since Dan HATES Christmas, and I love it, it would have been great comedy. But we couldn't think of any games and the only day we could have recorded it was the day I was sick and we only recorded one episode so it didn't happen

Also now the fact that this exists makes me so mad time didn't work out for us to do it.

About three quarters of a bottle of Tideview, and enough time that I had to stop the timer to not feel guilty about it

We recently did a couple bonus episodes where we listen to everyone's cassette tapes (Miller's is just under an hour ), and I think it's during Amanda's where a large portion is just Amanda talking about Central America while we fact checked it. I learned a lot, Grace was halfway through a bottle of rum so he probably forgot it all.

Okay, this is sort of an odd question out of nowhere, but do you two watch the series "Crazy ex-girlfriend"? From what I can tell about you, it would be right up your alley. It's a funny, sometimes a little sappy, or depressing show which focuses on extreme diversity. The later episodes feature the nicest and cutest representation of male bisexuality I have ever seen on TV.
it's weird to ask this here, but the latest episode featured an internal monolouge about this picture.

And you sort of made me associate those fluffy guys with you now.

Also it's a really great show which gets absolutely lovely ratings so I am not ashamed to promote it whenever I can

I adore Rachel Bloom but I haven't had time to watch this show yet

Agreeing with Grace. The Sow Joan joke is obvious.

I take it Amiibo Festival is pass the controller play? At first I was disapointed there were no puns for catching fish, but then I remembered the puns in New Leaf were mostly lackluster. This game looks fun but you can't create a character like in the regular AC games, nor use the amiibo cards as your character. It was bad enough HHD didn't let you change out of your work jacket even after hours but this is a new low. Aside from that AF looks to have really kept the spirit of Animal Crossing games.

You could change out of your clothes in HHD. You use the Amiibo figures as your character in board game mode, there are like six or seven minigames you use the cards for, as well, you can use the cards to roll for you if you like, since each amiibo card has a specific dice roll associated with it. I just didn't bring my cards with me to the hotel because I have like, 300+ of them.

Amiibo Festival cute and relaxing, which is the spirit of Animal Crossing. It's just a nice way to spend some time, don't hate at it because it's not ACWiiU. It never was meant to be after all, it's just cute harmless fun.

Wait, did your two say Big Zam? Nice job on the prologue, I take it Graces Bayonetta skill translated over to Rising? I like how in some of the action scenes prologue Raiden gives off a Dante feel. That voice acting of his though... yikes. That Ray clearly wasn't your standard MGS2 Ray with all the damage it took. It kept on going yet you still shat on it. MG Ray's can't get any love.

see, a lot of the controls and actions Raiden can perform actually feel a lot like Bayonetta to me. It might be the fact that he's blading with all his limbs, but he has that sorta sleek and elegant way about slashing men into thousands of bits and vapors that just reminded me of Bayonetta the whole time.

One thing that I can say is that in this prologue, the quick time events were a very nice easy break after the Bayonetta 1 ones.

How could they produce t.A.T.u. then? Granted, the girls weren't actually lesbians, but they were marketed on that image, which would go against the idea the nation is intensely homophobic.

And Grace... what? .hack//Sign had more going for it than just the killer soundtrack. MMO stuff was fresh as heck back in 2001/2002 when that series was beginning. And instead of being blandly action focused it had some decent drama and intrigue.

The .hack saga was fantastic I never meant to imply the soundtrack was ALL it had going for it. The soundtrack was just the best part imo though.

Alright so like, we ended up losing Grace's audio for the last three episodes, and I didn't exactly do well so we're probably going to bin what we have now and redo what hasn't been shown.

With that said, we've got some content coming up, so just wait for that

yeah had to go nuclear to save the computer, but hopefully the content we're coming up with will be more than worth it.
