So you know how Jeff tends to say stuff like "I was just holding/looking at *blank* LAST WEEKEND" whenever they talk about obscure stuff? Happened again on the Bombcast. Do we think this is a weird conversational tick he has or does he legit just always happen to have a relevant anecdote at all times?

It's Titans vs Jaguars

I'll just watch the Game Awards instead.
I have a sickness where I need to consume all primetime football, so I'm gonna stream the awards and watch the game on TV

I mean "not 48 hours ago" etc. is a running joke at this point; it might have been a habit at some point but it became intentional

Based on just how many games he has, it's pretty safe to assume that he has held or at least seen the physical version of that thing he's talking about at least recently. Dude owns a fuckton of games/consoles/swag from being in the industry for most of his life.

Is there a legit book of this that came out this year?

I remember the anime that came out ages ago...

The Canaan anime is actually a sequel to 428.

like, I'm not joking, that's literally what it is

The "Canaan" I'm mentioning here is a short bonus scenario (written/illustrated by Nasu) you unlock after beating 428, set before the game.

it's... not amazing, but it exists

Can I throw hundreds of dollars at it and not get what I want.

no but you'll still probably be unsatisfied

I'm sure he actually has the thing he's describing but I was always thinking the way he introduces it into conversation "was looking at it not 48 hours ago" always seemed like a funny conversational tick he uses to relate to the stuff being talked about.

Lol, I bought 428 last sale and this certainly made me more interested in playing through it. Canaan was indeed not amazing but it had some neat concepts.

I usually find Nasu's stuff to not be the best writing around but i almost always like the scenarios he comes up with. They are also the right kind of convoluted.

I just imagine his house full of old games. Like having-to-move-three-copies-of-Lair-to-get-to-the-bathroom full.

In the Smash QL Ben was looking for a theme playing Classic mode with Ken like he did with Ryu but didn't see one. I noticed that Ken was matched up with all the "rival" or secondary antagonists from other games. Ken is Ryu's rival, Wolf is Fox's, Dark Pit to Pit, Dark Samus to Samus, etc. Nice touch

Dan telling Drew to always use the Riot Gun/SMG was so fucking frustrating.

It didn't affect her as much at that affected Drew, but Mike Mahardy telling Mary Kish to not buy the TMP and sell all the TMP ammo in RE4 was pretty damn frustrating. She kept running out of bullets for her guns because of his advice, and the TMP is really useful for certain situations and boss fights, particularly if it's your first time playing the game or if you're just not super accurate.

Sounds like the game is full of nice touches
