Yeah Top Score is dead, but the same host now does a show called Level. It seems like it's the same thing, but I haven't listened yet. I'm on my phone right now, but I'll drop a link later in case anyone's interested.

Also "grundle" is a great word so I'm all in favor of whatever it takes to get a grundle riff going.

VGHD listener Quine put this Metafilter post together about this weird Fruity Pebbles game that was at ZapCon and that we talked about a lot on the last episode.

That Let's Play is beautiful, but not quite as beautiful as that one guy convinced he'd cracked the conspiracy in there.

I just watch his jimquisitions, they're generally really good. The last few were fantastic.

I've listened to a couple and they seem pretty good. I can't watch them because that whole outfit makes me cringe so hard I nearly invert.

Oh yeah for sure, it's just a gimmick I personally can't stomach. The man himself has always come across as a smart, reasonable enough guy.

Kole, you should watch Iron Man 3 if you like the Marvel movies at all. It's easily one of the best films in the series, up with Guardians of the Galaxy and Ant Man. It's almost good enough to not need the qualifier "for a superhero movie".

Iron Man 3 is a genuinely good movie. I'm not a fan of Shane Black seeing how I've only seen Iron Man 3 and The Nice Guys, but he's incredibly peculiar from what I've read.

I assume you're only talking about films he directed and not ones he just wrote, because if you somehow still haven't seen Lethal Weapon or Monster Squad you should get off these forums for a few hours and fix that oversight.

Listening to Abject Suffering right now and wanted to note that I'm pretty sure the Buck Bumble theme is either grime or garage in terms of genre. But either way, yep, it's a suuuper British genre.

Looks like Dyack is after me again. I'm tempted to have him Skype into the show just so I can play fart noises every time he tries to talk.

I'm immediately reminded of Antista's Twitter response to him last time: "This is what you're doing now? Ugh."

Imagine them talking about Super Mario and talking for an hour about how you press a to jump and then for an hour about the super mario bros movie. and they would'nt say anything about the levels exept that they got lost in them because there are so many tubes and doors. And that their favourite part was the toad minigames. That's this episode.

maybe take a walk and catch some pokemons ok guy?

It's also worth remembering that hardcore gaming audiences will always, always find something to piss on about endlessly.

I'm really curious how much these changes actually hurt sales by alienating the hardcore audience anyway. I imagine the number of people who will actually abstain from buying their favorite game series just because the cover doesn't have tiddies on it anymore is pretty small. I think the stink people throw up is a subset of a subset.

I've always thought this was weird "boycotting" individual products. What is the difference between that and just not buying it?

They're the same thing except in theory a boycott involves also making the reasons for not buying it a publicly known issue through media or political campaigns, or just, like, handing out flyers or something. You know, effort. When that applies to video games it usually just means crying on Reddit/4chan/Twitter/forums/mom's free time.

END ME SCOOB posted:

I dig VGA but I confess without a good guest (your Kempses or Mackeys) I hop off after the top 5, because my taste in games does differ a bit from theirs and sometimes I just don't care.

The main thing that will make me struggle to stick with a VGA episode is Henry Gilbert, because he can't stop trying to grab the wheel of any podcast he's on and steer it off into who-gives-a-fucksville. Like I'm sure he's a nice enough guy in ordinary life, but dude needs to learn to sit back and let things go where they're going.

There are a couple nazi gaming casts, or maybe those are only on YouTube. That fat guy with a gross beard was getting mocked on Twitter for that like a week ago.

The amount of weird sycophantry he seems to attract is bizarre. Is there a contingent of gamers who grew up thinking "I wanna be just like Biff Tannen's henchmen"?

The totalbiscuit thing is basically the internet summed up in one person. He has or had bad opinions and talks quite blandly about video games but *good* people thought it was hilarious to mock him for having terminal cancer (which I think he survived, I don't follow closely). I'm sure I will get jumped on for this post but I remember that being a low point of this thread.

What was actually hilarious to mock him about was that loving Lord of the Rings length dissertation that included specifically pointing out he has "an IQ of 155" and totally original thoughts on religion or some such.

The podcast formerly known as Top Score - that one with the interviews with composers of game music - has, for about 50+ episodes now, become Level. I can't really say much about it because I stopped listening because I can barely keep up with the too many drat podcasts I'm already listening to, but here are the links: Main site Patreon.

People keep quoting that gamefaqs article. Firstly if you want to really laugh at a 15 year olds gamefaqs submissions just check out my contributon page and second its not even in the top 20 most obnoxious things that guy has came out with.

I mean its a heartfelt message about a terrorist tragedy that rocked a nation. It just happens to be in a gameboy advance game guide. I'm not seeing the meme here.

If you can't see what's funny about the juxtaposition of "a heartfelt message about a terrorist tragedy that rocked a nation" and "in a gameboy advance game guide" I don't know man.

From this thread i assume that American youth took a turn and decided that 9/11 was a good thing to happen? I mean that seems fair to assume given how seething people are at the content of Moriartys original message.

I mean if his faq written at 15 stated that he was a proud otaku and he wanted inside Faye Valentine's panties i could see a joke there y'know.
