I'm actually kinda surprised NMH2 never used something like that. I think it would've been better, instead of having Destroyman come back or whatever, to have one of the bosses be like a cosplayer who's just way too into the role and basically attacking with prop, con-friendly weapons. Or have it like that football guy with the cheerleaders and make the boss like 25 mediocre cosplayers that swarm you.

Actually my idea for No More Heroes 3 was that Travis would be fighting crazy fanboys dressed up like himself.

They kinda did that already with the crazy fangirl, Chloe I want to say? Kimmy? She even uses a really similar lightsaber weapon. It's nowhere near your idea really but I'm worried they'd be reluctant to go into 'familiar territory.'

:siren: UPDATE TIME! :siren:



Today, it's time for our heroes and our new uneasy allies to track down Big Seed and stop the flow of the drug into the city! It seems like Spike has narrowed it down three different places with high Seed reactions, but Grave is going to have to carefully inspect each one of them to make sure those drugs are taken care of. What will they find at the end of their chase?

It's kind of a long episode, so get ready!

Running enemies and vehicles are, in my opinion, the best use for the third line of demolition shots. Gonna show off the charge attacks for everyone?

This episode is so long that I thought that Juji and Arby would be playable too.

Yeah, I'll get around to that. Given my (average) style of play, I don't feel like I get a lot of use out of them outside of a few instances which we'll get to.

Ah poo poo, that would've been a good way to show off the different playable characters! Ah well, what's done is done.

Also, we may make terrible jokes, but I feel like we try to go above the easy jokes usually sometimes maybe. I am absolutely certain there is evidence to the opposite.

Man, I dimly remember playing this back in the day and finding it completely incomprehensible. I saw the anime later and liked it but I figured the game was based on it, not the other way around :psyduck:.

I've only watched the first two episodes so far but this is the funniest LP I've seen in ages, you idiots are perfect for the goofy nonsense that is gungrave.

Tomorrow's Christmas, so I thought I should update early so people can share the gift of the new Gungrave Overdose LP episode with their loved ones around the tree!
Today, Grave and the crew are on their way into Dark City to meet a man named Richard Wong, who supposedly has intel on the new group peddling Seed. However, the new organization has one leg up on their competition, and has set up an ambush! Grave's gonna have to escort the rest of the crew back to their truck and out of this retched hive of scum and villainy!

Keep on the lookout for later today as well, when Jordan comes in and posts the next Cocoa Disaster episode!

Chorps is out of the house at the moment so I'm posting this in his stead (with permission course)! The Winter 2017 anime season is right around the corner so we took some time out to talk about every single anime that will be airing during the next three months. It's a pretty small list this time around, but it's a really good list too. Definitely some potential classics in there.

True story, I haven't watched any anime or listened to your podcast since the new World of Warcraft expansion came out at the end of August. (Unlike you nerds, I have my priorities straight.)

I might have to go back and catch up. I miss hearing your bad opinions.

Just finished listening to last season's preview cast. Dunno if you're paying attention to this thread, Jordan, but if you are: you've mentioned not liking Madoka Magica in passing a few times, and I'd be interested to hear you go into depth on that at some point. If that's not the kind of quality content the Cocoa Network expects, I'd be happy to have you on the first and possibly only episode of my own podcast to talk about it.

We can probably swing that at some point! It's going to have to be a while until we get to it, though. We've already got our next batch of non-seasonal podcast episodes planned out unfortunately.

Today, Grave and crew just waltz in to a Metaslica mercenary unit to get some insider info on our now-named enemy, the Corsione family, but it turns out this infiltration was poorly planned out! The team is quickly surrounded by trained gunmen, and it's gonna be a hell of a fight to get out alive! Can Grave take down all these trained men, AND ALSO A ROBOT TANK??? Find out today!

Today, we're heading deep into enemy territory again, but this time we're prepared! Grave, RB and Juji are going in guns and guitar and katanas blazing, searching for the head of the new Seed distribution, Don Corsione. However, it seems he was prepared, as tons of defenses have been laid out for them! Can the gang get to him before he escapes? Or is something more sinister lurking in this mansion...?

This game is starting to feel like you should get a weapon upgrade or a damage up power up or skill to buy or something, to me. Dunno why.

Today, we're breaking in to one of the Corsione family's laboratories, and what we find inside is terrifying to say the least. All kinds of Seed experiments are being conducted to create greater and more powerful Orgmen, but that's not all we'll find. Some familiar faces lurk at the bottom of the underground facility, waiting for us...



Jukebox Hero posted:

Gungrave hides everything in its options in a way that makes it impossible for me to find, like the audio settings apparently.
Also the shot and melee levels are unlocked by number of bullets shot. The game keeps track of every single bullet and that's dedication.

I show off most of them for Grave in the course of this LP, but I'm not particularly interested in doing a video on them all since they're not really that interesting. If I can find a save with all the characters' Demolition Shots unlocked then maybe but I'm certainly not playing the game 4-6 more times just to show those off.

I'm glad you and someone on the video comments were willing to count the number of times I had to kill the boss.
Yeah the sheer number of times you have to kill the boss kills my enthusiasm for the whole thing, as neat as it is. I'm sure it's a nicer time on lower difficulties but uh I'm a real gamer.
