The difference was you were cheering for Dark Lord Vinny, while I think everyone in the room was ready to shiv Brad "88 Deaths. What Is Pattern?" Shoemaker by the end of that stream. Jeff needs to show up for more Breaking Brads and just have increasing salty contempt for Brad's lovely abilities.

It is a miracle we managed to survive the early days of video games it seems.

My biggest gripe with Rising is that it rips control away from you every 10 seconds for yet another cutscene or codec conversation. There's even cutscenes for opening doors...just let me play the god drat game.

I'm glad the Bombcast is hitting a high point again, because I swear if you edited out all the laughing on Idle Thumbs you'd have around 5 minutes of coherent podcast recently. I swear it's almost impossible for someone to get out more then 2 sentences before someone else inserts a funny voice and everyone goes into a giggle fit for 3 minutes.

I never thought I'd see the day when Idle "Jeff Gone Game Gold" Thumbs descended into giggle fits

Everything Brad said was wrong.

- there is multiplayer

- the guys in cages are merchants not playable(though if he's not unlocked them he wouldn't know)

- the floors unlock as you beat each previous one

"Is it possible to be too in-focus?"

"Then why don't you just turn it all the way?"

even their parent site had to get in on the wanking:

The Verge posted:

The concept of this game is shocking when you think about what's actually happening. As an ultra-powerful white dude, you use fear and extreme acts of violence to manipulate an enemy's behavior, destroy its militaristic structure, and ultimately gain control of it in the form of living bondage despite being outnumbered by the thousands. Really, chew on this: This is a video game about a spurned man terrorizing an entire foreign culture, literally killing, branding, torturing and enslaving hundreds of living beings. And really they're only tangentially connected to the man's real enemy: another ultra-powerful white dude.

CK2 is going to be free to play this weekend, so try it out if you haven't yet and experience the joys of marrying off your children and cousins for political gain before throwing them in jail until they die in order to prevent them from usurping you.

also all their games are on sale this weekend...you can get CK2, EU4, Victoria 2, and Hearts of Iron 3 for just 20 smackers

SoM was a bunch of neat parts that didn't add up to anything for me. I liked the nemesis system but once you start branding there's no point to it. I liked the branding but it doesn't actually matter in the end-game since you only take the 5 warchiefs with you. I liked the combat but you're never faced with a real challenge. I liked the parkour but it's useless once you can teleport around the map. I guess the story is cool if you're into LOTR but I could not give less of a poo poo about Caladildor and his magical memory artifacts.

Also I got all the way to the Tower fight without realizing he was a dude and not an actual tower.

This is true, until GOTY at least when as mentioned before, Brad spends 12 hours trying to convince everyone it's the best game of the year because he alone spent the most time with it. And everyone just agrees with him to shut him up.

Again.

I can't really see Dan getting filibustered

Disappointing Pie posted:

I wish I could dive into CK2. It's just very overwhelming.

Just accept that you're going to be complete poo poo the first several times you play, but keep dicking around with the systems and you'll learn more with each campaign. Also start as a small state, like 1 or 2 counties.

From Revolution60's site:

quote:

1. "Did you set out to make a company with all-female developers?
Like most companies, we tend to hire people we know personally and trust. In this case, we know a lot of other women in the industry.

So it's fine for you to only hire your female friends, but Giant Bomb can't do the same thing?
