    After seeing countless episodes of Wheel of Fortune more than I'd prefer(grandparents), I've seen more than my fair share of god damned stupid contestants. I would not be surprised in the least if they didn't think of it.

    I didn't see it. Like Arin I thought Spice? oh, no E and my train of though moved on.

    Though I was also thinking "Don't pick c and k, don't pick c and k, don't pick c and k"

    Exactly, you first think spice but then that can't work so you move on.
    You know what's terrible though? I read the posts on the last page yesterday and watched the video today. Still didn't see spicy!
    also, I think of Y as a vowel sometimes and that throws me a little.

    I love how they hover over the 'c' for so long while trying to solve it.

    Also if you had asked me which one of them had watched Naruto before I had seen the appropriate video I would have totally guessed Jon. I love how gleefully excited he got over the game within seconds. I wish I experienced that sort of joy so easily. The game actually does looks pretty well done though.

    Someone should just go ahead and send them every anime game made by Namco-Bandai, along with two copies of Shonen Jump Ultimate Stars for the DS.
    I know they mentioned Shonen Stars before...

    I think they're taking a break from Sonic '06. Which I don't blame them since Shadow's campaign is just Sonic's but in a different order.

    I honesty don't the they need much justification to take a break from Sonic '06. I am still pretty sure they are not going to be able to get through all of that game.

    apparently they lost 9 episodes worth of footage, but they didn't say of which games

  • AegeriAegeri Tiny wee bacteriums Plateau of LengRegistered User regular
    I would almost bet that would be Sonic. They seemed fairly in advance given the save file date and when they uploaded the episodes for it. Will they have the will to redo it?

    Few of their series even go to 9 episodes. I think Mario Party or DKC was the last to do that. It's probably Sonic '06.

    On the other hand, I think Sonic '06 has been a giant pull for them in terms of views, so they're probably reluctant to drop it completely.

    I imagine they have 3 options.

    1. Restart Shadow campaign, and record where they left off. The problem is that they've played through the episodes already, so that part is going to probably be less entertaining than what they lost.

    2. Cut their losses an continue from where they are.

    3. Drop the series entirely. This one is probably the least likely.

    I think they said they'd just lost the audio, I'd just give them all to Barry and have him put whatever he wants in there to replace it.

    God I love Barry.

    If the audio is lost, then just fast-forward all nine episodes as a Jon does a recap.

    In the background, Arin will sing City Escape.

    I do not know anything about the Naruto Shitpoopin Firey Ninja Blaze anime, but these Gerp VS videos make me want to buy this game...

    Also, Sony Smash Bros looks pretty cool.

    I actually went out and bought one of the naruto games on Xbox.

    It actually looks really good, doesn't play as well as i'd hoped but i got it for about 5 dollars so it was worth it

    The next installment in that Naruto fighter(Ultimate Ninja Storm 3) is supposed to be coming out next month or so, which is supposed to have a bajillion million more characters. Or something.

    PSASBR is so tragic to see in action. I mean I've seen videos of the game being played before but I haven't seen the character select menu for as long as the Grumps showed it, before. And also all prior videos I've seen didn't leave enough audio coming through so I just now noticed that the game's announcer voice is like spot on the exact same as Smash Bros. Goddamn I'm glad the game was a trainwreck in sales.

    And yet, I'd rather play it any-day over Smash.

    There's only two console games I've ever sold or traded in: Smash for the Wii and "Shadowrun" for the 360.

    I played the demo of it and overly enjoyed it. More so than Smash bros..... at least in a certain more raw sense of pleasure in how hectic it is.
    It's only fun when 4 players are involved, though.

    But any game with Kat from Gravity Rush gets my automatic seal of approval.

    it shows that the game is trying to do its own thing; but it would have been better if they just did a smash bros clone and added in better mechanics. forcing players to use specials to kill each other just seems wrong in a crazy brawler like this. plus like the grumps showed us, if you play it like smash it goes on for ever.

    That's entirely the Grumps fault in this case. You'd let anyone who's half decent at brawlers at this who's played it before and no match would take nearly that long. Plus, of course, they'd know the movesets and such better.

    I think it's the game's fault for being the only fighting game in existence that you can't win by just hitting the other guy enough.

    Yeah, Smash had a weird HP system, but it still resulted in "Hit guy a lot." because EVENTUALLY even a light tap will fuck up a player with high enough percents. They also wanted a more platformy style, and the ring-out style suited it.

    All Stars is just "HEY SMASH HAD A WEIRD KILL SYSTEM SO WE SHOULD HAVE ONE."

    I really dislike All Stars. The stages are boring, and the items are pretty useless. Also some of the characters are way better than the rest (Kratos is the worst offender of this).

    The finisher moves aren't balanced at all either. Some characters level 1 supers are nigh unusable, like Spike's overhead net swing, compared to other characters level 1's being there best one, like Sly's, whose comes out so fast the only way to reliably dodge it is to never be directly in front of Sly. The high end ones are even worse. Spike once again gets shafted with his kill-sat attack, while it will always hit, will only get you at most three kills, with way more time to charge up to than 3 level 1's would (and many characters can get more than one kill off their level 1's). Meanwhile, Riaden's level 3 will always get 3 kills from locking people in boxes till you mosey over to stab them, it also lasts so long you can usually get another kill on each opponent when they respawn. I once actually managed to get 9 kills off of Riadens's level 3 due to being on the Parapa stage, which is tiny.

    It definitely seems silly to me that getting hit has no personal consequence to you whatsoever. Sure they're more likely to win because of the super meter they built on you, but getting hit should actually hurt somehow, that's intuitive gameplay 101.
