    Oh man, on one hand, YES I can't wait to see the frustration on fights like Crying Wolf. On the other hand, MAN is MGS4 heavy on the cutscenes during those first 3 hours. Well....they better get started if they want to finish before MGS5 is released.

    Those first 3 hours?

    Look, I love MGS4, but it is 90% cutscenes, and some of them are like 2 hours long.

    There will be entire episodes of Metal Gear Scanlon dedicated entirely to one cutscene!

    That's going to be great!

    This will be my only real exposure to MGS4 since it's PS3 exclusive now and forever, and I can't fucking wait!

    Ayup, MGS4 is one I missed out on. I saw about maybe a third of it when my brother borrowed it+a ps3 from a friend of his, but that's it.

    Eye-opening video. I wonder how many gaming people have bad gambling problems that aren't really recognized as gambling problems because people handwave stuff off as "just games". Stuff like Dota 2 especially, where you're literally gambling money on keys.

    Keys do not actually exist anymore, you just buy the Chest/Set directly though the Chests could still be considered Gambling I guess since it is semi random what you get out of one.

  • GlalGlal AiredaleRegistered User regular
    Pretty sure "you're dropping money on an unknown quantity, hoping to get lucky" is the very definition of gambling, not the mechanics of how you reveal the contents.

    Blind box stuff in F2P games is pretty much blatantly abusive in all of its incarnations

    Also probably why I've been mostly waning off playing CCG's with random boosters.

    So does that mean they're recording a whole bunch of episodes before the season starts? It'll be good for work flow, but now people are going to be yelling at them and they won't be able to hear it or respond.

    Man, remember when they did a live finale?

    Holy shit, that video
    I can't believe Drew managed to go the whole thing without cracking up. I also can't believe he ate a whole package of Red Vines in 18 minutes.

    I wonder if he had to do multiple takes.

    I should get some beer and power through Metal Gear Scanlon at some point shouldn't I.

    I am so behind on it. I think I stopped watching an episode or two into MGS2! And I don't want to watch the one for Snake Eater because I haven't even played through that one yet.

    Hopefully we get some VinnyVania next week. Now there's a series where I've played through just about every game!

  • Undead ScottsmanUndead Scottsman Registered User regular
    Shit I still have VinnyVania to get through. Finally finished the first game.

    Spoilers, Vinny falls in a pit and dies a lot.

    I'm digging the 90s band breakdown on the BeastCast.

    Also Vinny's description of the happy nice ghost is basically Dennis from Angel, Cordy's ghost roommate.

    Anyone else have an issue with watching recorded live shows like UPF, where the audio slowly goes out of sync over time until you jump the video ahead or behind a little bit?

    Yes I've had that problem for quite a while now. It'a also on archived videos usually on the half way mark.

    Are you watching them on the poop player or downloading to your computer?

  • GlalGlal AiredaleRegistered User regular
    I never have them desync, but I do sometimes need to switch from Streaming to Progressive because Streaming just buffers into infinity. Which is annoying, because the other one doesn't seem to want to skip forward without first buffering everything in between, so when you need to skip an hour forward it's a whole lot of buffering.

    I've been having a weird issue with Chrome where, after it's been running a while, any videos I try to watch on youtube quickly black out while the sound still plays. This also happens to animated GIFs, or at least the ones posted on twitter. Closing and reopening Chrome is the only way I can fix it. I guess it's not really related to Giant Bomb's stuff, but goddamn is it annoying.

    They are, but they are still far inferior to Twizzlers.

    Check the comments. People have been having issues with video flickering and weird artifacting for a while now, from videos on both coasts. Meaning it's gotta be something on the archiving set up, right?

    That video was amazing, and it wasn't until about minute 13 that I saw that the subtitle is "Dans of the Patriots".

    I assumed that the bag of Red Vines was being replenished off screen, but I'm willing to accept bags that big exist stateside.

    No argument here, which is why I always found that line in Lazy Sunday about Mr Pibb and Red Vines to be odd. But I guess Samberg is from CA.
