Rorie's a builder, Dan's a baseball fan, and Brad? Well, Brad's a lot of things. Most of all, unprofessional. Especially on Fridays.

Bayek: "let me see if I can convince the tax collectors to change their ways."

OBJECTIVE: FIND AND KILL THE TAX COLLECTORS.

That's certainly one way to change someone I guess.

I keep forgetting that skipping between day/night is even an option outside of the couple missions that specifically use it.

BITE was a great series but yeah Dan whining about the combat brought it down some. There was this one episode where Dan went crazy towards the combat. After that episode, idk what happened off-screen, but Dan's comments on the combat changed a little and he got better.

I guess he read the comments and chilled out a bit. That said outside of some neat Heat move animations the combat is honestly pretty mediocre given how much of it there is Especially in the light of people thinking Nier Automata's combat being that game's weakest link.

Does anybody else find it a little weird that Jeff so often plays old games with cheats enabled?
You're not really playing the games when you're just walking trough them with invincibility on. I just don't see what he gets out of it.
He always did it on old games show too which I never liked, you don't really get a correct representation of the games when they're played with all cheats on.
To each their own of course, I just know if I wanted to play Cool Spot again I wouldn't just rush trough the game with cheats on.

I'm guessing it's just a combination of wanting to more show than the first level of of each game to the audience and Jeff not having a lot of patience.

But yeah, there's not a lot to most of these old arcade-like games if you're just cheating your way to the end in like an hour.

I don't think it'll be in my top 10 or anything but I'm having fun with it.
I'm enjoying my time with it too, don't get me wrong. And the game world is astonishing.

But then you play it. The combat needs iteration, the side quests are mechanically way too similar to one another (press triangle to investigate ALL THE TIME), the main plot is just ok, Bayek as a character is very likeable but not much more. I do like the stories told in the side quests and being able to climb up pretty much anything is great. But I just don't see where all this praise is coming from to some degree.

Also I feel like it's more me being dumb but I cannot figure out how you trigger the arrow flight control thing.

Please do like GB West, make a stream of it! We're dying in this drought!

OT title suggestions? We'll probably reach 400 tomorrow so, how about this from a few pages back?

Giant Bomb |OT2| Maybe it's a giant. Maybe it's a bomb now.

Unless y'all have other suggestions...
Hmm.. I feel like Dan and Vinny now in the Shenmue ER, but.. how many vowels do "Giant" and "Bomb" feature?

Shit, now I want a series where Dan is forced to play through all of Nier: Automata real bad

Why would they go to NY when SF is their home base with all of the space, equipment, production, and majority of staff?
