    Is it just me or is MGS3 way more difficult in the controls department?

    I remember having more trouble with the camera rather than controls but its been several years since I've played it.

    It is in some ways, mainly because of the pressure-sensitive buttons, if you're trying not to kill guards

    But fuck that, slit every throat

    My problem is more with how the camo system and inventory are handled than anything else, digging through menus to constantly change camo is no fun, and there's no good goddamn reason you couldn't just have everything in your inventory bars instead of having to take things out of your backpack and put them in your magical inventory bars

    They tried to let realism get in the way of fun and forget they were making a game where your enemy meows like a cat to call his team in

    Also I'm way in the minority on this, but I can't stand the Subsistence camera. I much prefer the birds-eye-view camera of original MGS3. So it's very nice that they let you use it. That camera is the main reason I didn't dig MGS4, though, and why I haven't even played Ground Zeroes yet

    I really hope they move ahead with Metal Gear Scanlon 3

    Considering Drew's troubles with combat, I'd be really curious to see him take on CQC

    Meh I never use CQC and I've beaten that game probably five or six times

    That's another thing that makes me think Vinny is just a Looper version of Dan. They both use that term for everything.

    From Jeff's Twitter it sounds like something catastrophic happened to this week's podcast recording...

    Not sure how 3 hours of podcast counts as "half the recording". That sounds like an entire episode.

    Frankly, I blame Brad.

    I'm surprised they don't have some kind of redundancy in the recording.

    Also, this was bound to happen eventually, considering I don't think they record the podcast with any redundancies like with Quick Looks. They just fire up the janky old computer and pray.

    Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but I'm pretty sure Brad's out of town so this was Jeff's gig this week.

    Also there was a Bombcast they had to record twice that was pretty hilarious.

    I can't find it, but there's another podcast where the image is of all the guys crowding around a computer that may or may not have crashed and taken the entire podcast with it.

    Rorie also offered to try and salvage the podcast, but I guess Jeff is just moving on.

    So did the GB crew play Velvet Sundown on Unprofessional Fridays or is there just Vinny's initial stream and then the Quicklook with Alex?

    Most Disappointing discussion:
    Patrick yelling FUCK YOU as loud as he could get away with at AC Unity was pretty good.

    Also, construction booming in the background during Jeff's Destiny diatribe, also pretty great.

    Sometimes I sing a little song to myself while playing Shadow of Mordor. The lyrics go something like “hunt the orcs, stalk the orcs, stab and slice and cut the orcs”. It’s a good song, but it’s not nearly as good as the game.

    I wish Bravely Default at least got a mention for the music category.

    Also, Vinny's combat roll and a hammer throw <3

    Ah, crap. Listening to the podcast thinking I didn't care about spoilers, then they start listing the big ol list of games to consider for Best Story and I hear The Fall in there.

    I assume that they talk about the entirety of that? I completely forgot about needing to play that until now.

    They explicitly discuss how The Fall ends.

    They talk about how Smash Bros is only worthwhile as complete chaos and nonsense

    And then spend the entire time complaining about the chaos and nonsense
