Oh wow this is interesting and extra weird because you're a samurai in America but it uses Irish? I was already amused enough to hear Dark Souls 2 have legit, irish accents rather than over the top stuff, let alone learn a team ninja game has Irish. I wonder if there's any big reason behind it or is it largely a fun style choice. -

That's great, thank you! -

Feel better Nick! Was also going to post to note that only the first Bloodborne session was highlighted and exported to Youtube, the other one is still sitting here as a past broadcast on twitch but that's all. -

That head sqaush down as the armor falls is just a fantastic touch. -
Idle Thumbs !!: With Bagblast
SuperBiasedMan replied to Jake's topic in Idle Thumbs Episodes & Streams
All this talk about Mario lore but you still refuse to ask the real question. Who is Warupeachi, and why is she hidden away? -
Modest Tech: The NX Generation (Nintendo Switch)
SuperBiasedMan replied to dartmonkey's topic in Video Gaming
Also based on this tweet it sounds like the price for Nintendonline is actually quite reasonable. It's "2-3,000 yen ($17.50 - $26.50) YEARLY", making it about half the price of Sony/Microsoft's ones I believe. That's way more palateable to me, for the weird old multiplayer games and getting some online Splatoon and Mario Kart action. -
Thanks! I should've asked for this in my previous post, but do you think I'd miss much by not having seen all of X-Files and not watching along with them?

objective Criticker: It Tells You If You'll Like a Movie
SuperBiasedMan replied to TychoCelchuuu's topic in Movies & Television
Yeah I make myself only spend a short period thinking about it. If I'm taking longer than a few seconds then I just skip the movie. In my case, they're not at all reviews just indications of my overall enjoyment of the movie. -
I've been enjoying podcasts that explore media entry by entry lately. Specifically two called Morph Club and Talking Simpsons. Morph Club is Animorphs and TS is obviously about the Sampsons. In both cases the hosts just do a deep dive on each book/episode as they make their way through. I enjoy both a lot as a way to revisit an old series and hear critical conversation about them. Does anyone have any other recommendations for podcasts that cover other media in a similar way?

I'd definitely recommend skipping ahead to another season in FatT if audio issues or teething troubles bug you in season 1. They're separate arcs and even after Marielda they did a recap of the first season to catch people up before continuing with it. I think the problem with the boys saying no to Griffin is that it's the antithesis of the "Yes and" you're supposed to do in improv. Obviously Griffin doesn't always "yes and", but he has to do a lot more prep for the show and doesn't seem to be that experienced a player. If that's how they all want to play the game (and mostly they seem to be happy with it) then I'm not going to complain too much about that specifically.

objective Criticker: It Tells You If You'll Like a Movie
SuperBiasedMan replied to TychoCelchuuu's topic in Movies & Television
I'm mostly gauging on the vague category I put it in. Actively offensive/total trash is 1-40, would not rewatch, may regret watching is 40-60, good but not one I'd recommend/return to is 60-80 and then 80-100 is movies I actually like a lot. -
I did binge up til this arc so I think that's a lot of it (especially when 2 weeks is the wait between episodes). But also yes the contrast between this and the last arc is stark. The 11th Hour felt very Friends at the Table like to me. Griffin had characters and events but he let the boys off the leash and do things out of his intended order, probably because as a time loop there wasn't really a way for them to miss things by playing it 'wrong'. Griffin's storytelling is fine, but not my interest. I like the surprising moments where systems collide. When Taako realised he could levitate a crab and then get Magnus to punch it out the train window, that stuff is great and surprising. I like Actual Play podcasts more than scripted fiction because the unexpected improvised turns are always more fun to me than the more obvious fictional arcs. I'm rarely very surprised by Griffins pre-planned twists but I love every unexpected turn.
-
They are literally suffering I don't think this is the final arc though, isn't this just the 2nd last relic? It's the 6th of 7 if I remember right.
-
The stuff he wrote there makes sense. Just that they've been in a setting with no real theme, fighting random monsters and not interacting with many NPCs while they literally loop through rooms.
-
Yeah he sorta took the idea of the Zero Escape style games, but then sucked a lot of the fun out of them by removing any NPC interaction.

This is really cool, I've been playing with it a bunch. Definitely a good way to motivate me into watching immense backlog of things. -
Idle Thumbs 299: Somebody, Somewhere, Somehow, Something
SuperBiasedMan replied to Jake's topic in Idle Thumbs Episodes & Streams
I didn't post about the show's new direction last week, but the Mouthmoods talk was great, and a good sign that you can do the podcast format without games being the specific focus. Just talk about what interests you and fun chats like this will come out. -
Nothing about this election has been typical.

Oh weird, I don't even remember hearing about this. -
Modest Tech: The NX Generation (Nintendo Switch)
SuperBiasedMan replied to dartmonkey's topic in Video Gaming
Hopefully the touch screen means it'll function reasonably well as a tablet, with decent tools for using the Internet. People gave generally been positive on the hardware (besides the price) so I'm optimistic. -
Nick Plays FROM; Currently - Bloodborne
SuperBiasedMan replied to SL128's topic in Idle Thumbs Episodes & Streams
I like watching Nick be oblivious to the story of Dark Souls 2. Cause I also didn't follow it very well at all and I was also wondering what the chair story was when that came up. -
Modest Tech: The NX Generation (Nintendo Switch)
SuperBiasedMan replied to dartmonkey's topic in Video Gaming
Battery wise there's been speculation that you could use those smartphone battery packs to charge the Switch, since it has that standard USB socket. Is there any battery specs yet, indicating what the literal capacity is? -
Modest Tech: The NX Generation (Nintendo Switch)
SuperBiasedMan replied to dartmonkey's topic in Video Gaming
Over the last few days the news has largely confirmed and refuted my two biggest concerns. Everyone's talked about the game line up, though I hope they'll have a big showing on the virtual console to flesh that out. The positive I've seen is that the device itself sounds pretty solid and pleasing, at least from the exposure people have had. Prices mean I'm waiting though. The console price is fair here at the €330 I expected. But I rarely buy games for more than €30. I could certainly do Zelda at launch, but everything else is higher priced than I would really pay. Down the line I'll be looking at good bundles, especially if news about the virtual console and tertiary Internet apps (like Netflix) seems positive too. -
Alright! Rather than clutter this thread with scheduling talk I'll PM you all a discord link. I can pass it on to anyone else who's interested.

Idle Streaming Community: Twitchy, Tasty
SuperBiasedMan replied to Problem Machine's topic in Video Gaming
if you mean the technical logistics, I was planning on streaming footage of our Roll20 game with players' voices on Discord/Skype.
