The Ryan Davis Memorial Giant Bomb Thread

Opty · August 2015

MPP5 spoilers:

What's interesting is Brad stealing Dan's star didn't affect the outcome of the game, nor did Dan stealing Brad's star earlier. When Dan stole Brad's star Drew had a capsule that protected against his shit getting stolen so if Dan had picked him he would have gotten nothing and since Drew won by two stars, Brad stealing one from Dan didn't affect anything.

That sounds like Metal Gear storyline.

So there's this meta game where Dan is claiming if he wins more Mario Party games than anybody, it is undoubtedly a game of skill.

I didn't want to have to rely on Drew to crush him, but go Drew

reVerse · August 2015

We already determined that Mario Party is a game of skill. I think it was during MP4.

I missed it! Please please please gods of the internet let there be an archive posted.

Panel tonight was shockingly devoid of PAX Rumble Shenanigans and Friend of the Site skits. Some sort of Johnny V fallout from E3 or just making time for YouTube personality P Klepek?

cooljammer00 · August 2015

I mean, the last PAX Prime panel got a bit crazy with the shenanigans and extended Russian takeover. Even Pope and Trites bowed out this year cause they have to do work for tomorrow's Rumble.

I can't say I'm upset about this.

RandomHajile · August 2015

Well, the panel wasn't livestreamed, right? So people at home wouldn't be able to see any significant setup beforehand.

cooljammer00 · August 2015

Well last year they did like, an extended Russia takeover riff for a third of the panel with PAXW implications, and that wasn't streamed either.

cooljammer00 · August 2015

Like I was just getting people tweeting and posting on these forums about something related to a superkick, a kendo stick, and a bear costume.

Maddoc · August 2015

That Gamebomb bit took up a pretty healthy chunk of time

Oh, I didn't realize that wasn't livestreamed either.

SteevL · August 2015

I know they said the GBEast panel would not be streamed, but I thought the GBWest panel was livestreamed last night? I missed it, but I assumed it was.

The room they were in wasnt set up for live streaming as far as I know.

SteevL · August 2015

I stand corrected! I guess I got confused by seeing the "PAX Live!" link that is still up on the page, but I think it's just streaming the twitch PAX feeds.

GONG-00 · August 2015

Dave Lang fled from the line after it started to chant "FUCK DAVE LANG REPEAT!"

BionicPenguin · August 2015

PAX Rumble just started. They're still introducing all the contestants.

GONG-00 · August 2015

Apparently a cloud machine malfunctioned and triggered the fire alarms...

FuriousJodo · August 2015

They just had a confetti cannon thing, not sure that is what actually set off the alarm. Wasn't any smoke to it.

GONG-00 · August 2015

Rumble:

RIP GFB

BionicPenguin · August 2015

TURN ON THE FOG MACHINE!

Veagle · September 2015

Oh god, I'm watching the rock band party, and the guy singing Queen is killing me.

Edit: And the follow-up with Patrick!

SteevL · September 2015

I just extended my premium membership using the $35 deal they have going right now. I guess it's been a long time since I manually did it, because I had never heard that sound file that plays with everyone celebrating. And it was definitely old, because Ryan's voice was in there. Kind of made me sad for a bit there.

yup

Ceno · September 2015

I thought it was nice. I had let my membership run out, but resubbed for the deal (and because Vinny's up to Super Castlevania IV).

Is he? He hasn't finished Castlevania III yet, unless I missed something that happened at PAX.

lionheart_m · September 2015

Well...he did say it was REALLY HARD at the panel.

SteevL · September 2015

And he's not wrong! He was definitely saying repeatedly about how he wasn't sure he'd be able to finish the game. I wouldn't hold it against him, although I wanted to see his reaction to that game's Dracula.

Fencingsax · September 2015

MGSVQL

Seriously, no one mentions that upon your robot arm you are wearing a fucking Casio Wristwatch?

I think if he can, he should either skip it or use cheats to be invincible to beat it. Cause the game doesn't seem fun.

lionheart_m · September 2015

After playing about...6 hours or so of MGS5...man is MGScanlon 5 a bad idea. It's gonna take either forever or they're gonna have to edit it down.

cooljammer00 · September 2015

I really feel like they should do a Dan Plays WoW/Jeff Plays Bloodborne style weekly check in. Drew should just play MGSV now, as it comes out. What's he gonna do when GOTY comes around, leave the room every time it's brought up? NOT be able to have it on his list cause he didn't play enough of it?
