Wait, does this actually count as fulfilling Sean's new years resolution to resurrect the Dota 2 cast if Muir is hosting?

It should, Nick Breckon is currently super busy working on The Walking Dead season 2. I hear episode 2 is being written by him.

It has to be really tough. How do you compete with established free games like Dota 2 and League?

You probably just make a mod for a game and hope it takes off. DayZ was a mod and it really took off, so much so that its been the #1 seller on Steam when it finally came out with its stand alone release.

My only beefs with DmC after finally playing it through PSN Plus are that Ninja Theory throwing some jabs at the fans (that initial scene when Dante has a white wig for example). The dialogue is pretty bad and the combat is just boring. One attack button and the other is relegated as a launcher. Yeah you can switch it up with the Axe/Scythe and the other weapons you get later but its still really simple and yeah getting SSS on every level is pretty trivial.

Looks like RPS is gunning for becoming the #1 outlet that is bad at games now. No need to worry anymore Brad!

One of the first bosses is basically impossible if you haven’t mastered blocking/parrying, which is actually super easy to learn; Revengeance just explains it horribly and doesn’t give you a safety-wheels-on trial run.

I mostly quit doing it because it was starting to feel too self-indulgent. While I'd love a reason to play Dota at work every day, the time I was burning on it didn't seem worth the level of interest from the audience (though that might be my own self-defeating paranoia talking). If enough people actually want it to come back, I'd love to at least do it weekly if not more often. Sadly we've lost Kessler to the corporate void, so filling the lineup is a bit harder than it used to be.

We were also trying to find a way to stream from the perspectives of everyone on the team so it isn't as boring when I'm playing a farm-dependent hero or having a lovely lane, but directed spectator is on the two-minute delay (problematic for syncing voice chat), and coach's mode requires someone else to sit on a second PC and manually spectate, which ain't gonna happen. Haven't come up with any other ideas for that yet.

You definitely need to get someone to just spectate the games on directed camera for sure. That would be really cool, but it would be hard to splice in your audio since spectating is on a delay.

Patrick needs to return my emails. He asked me to contact him about the hat stuff and I did, but he never got back to me both times he asked, dunno what's up. Hope he didn't take my "Scoops got scoop'd" followup email to Idle Thumbs seriously! Brad, can you get his attention?

I've never heard of a single game this guy has made. I think Passage was covered by Patrick at some point but I literally don't know any of these.

Sorry, but no. I'll admit I'm not a big fan of the game to begin with, but it is boring as fuuuuuuuck to watch. It's a game that actively encourages turtling and fireball spamming.

This is also not why SF4 is boring.

The REAL Goobusters
Apr 25, 2008
SF4 isn't boring because people spam fireballs and turtle. Some of the best and most intense matches have had turtling and fireball spam. If you think that's boring then sorry I guess you just don't get what makes a fighting game good. SF4 is boring because of its slow movement pace, a lot of things are generally safe among other things and the Ultra (getting hit to gain meter) makes it easy for people to comeback. I don't like the game much because of these things and I also never liked focus attacks as well. But if you honestly think its boring because of fireball spam? Then yeah you have no authority to deem anything good or bad in the realm of fighting games.

I'd probably be all over the castle doctrine if it wasn't deliberately trying to make you look like "you were a monster this entire time!" In the last of us I tolerated that stuff because the ending sequence was so loving good, but I'm pretty much tired of this idea now. Yes I am a monster for robbing homes and my family died whatever I just want to enjoy myself playing your game.
