PCs may not be a one time use, but if you upgrade just the video card from time to time, it's often like buying yet another PS4.

I love when their dad says something offensive or uncomfortable on Adventure Zone. It's strangely cute.

Haha, yeah after the first 30 episodes or less, the real advice was covered. Now it's just weirdness after weirdness. Can't believe all the hate here. I think Griffin's shtick brings a nice variety since going by other podcasts where he's on with his brother, he's just kind of like them. Really if you guys are picking on MBMBaM or Sawbones for being fake progressive or sexist or whatever, I wonder how many other podcasts you have attempted. None are perfect, even all of the usual NPR features: TAL, Snap, and The Moth. Also I pretty much think every podcast is grade B or C entertainment, none are consistently funny and most podcasts tend to be boring half if not most of the time, even the good ones. They really just exist to leave on in the background. I can't imagine there is anyone who actually sits there listening intently to a podcast without anything else going on. The only grade A entertainment podcast I can think of is the Ricky Gervais Show, but now that I've watched them all in cartoon form, it's much better that way and you can't really go back.

Haha, apparently typing with the keyboard you use for everything else on the system is nonsense to them. Also there's a couple of videos and junk in the store that never properly made the conversion. I know for sure you can't normally get the animated prequel videos and wallpapers for Heavenly Sword by searching. I think I had to find it by making a list of content from the beginning of PS3 time.

I miss the previous PS3 store. It was easier to navigate as well. They should have just left it as it was, but two years after the fact I guess I have gotten used to the shitty lag in the current store. I figure they would have optimized it within a month after the release but I guess they don't give a damn.

Yes, legacy has the same HD collection disc it just has the motion comics of the first two games added in on a separate PS3 application. I can't imagine Ground Zeroes/Phantom Pain will make a ton of sense to anyone who did not play Peacewalker since the events lead directly from the cliffhanger in Peacewalker. Definitely thematically important. Metal Gear 2 also does this however, but considering in many ways Metal Gear Solid is just a 3D remake of MG2, it makes sense. What? I don't remember anything like that in 3. Was this the updated Subsistence version (the one on all HD sets)? The big problem with 3 is the pressure sensitive buttons like interrogating a guard and not slitting his damn throat or the button sensitivity defining how far you throw an object. Twin Snakes DID have this problem however in terms of holding up a guard and walking around the front of him to take his dog tag without either putting you gun away or shooting him, both of which you did not want to do. One thing though, I wonder if anyone having a problem with the first three entries of the series have tried switching to easy mode? When an MGS game is on easy or very easy you can basically finish the game while making what should be grave mistakes at every corner.

Man, where did you get that map? Mostly just asking because I know in general Dallas/Houston (Bexar/Harris Country) tend to be blue, at least now, keeping with the idea of big cities sort of being a different place than the rest of the country. A blog post I found on with the image says it changed to blue in at least 2012 but 2014 kind of reversed a few things. Even though you can't blanket a whole party as racist, I think there's a lot to be said about Republicans being a "hate group" and a lot of what's wrong with the United States. While in theory they should be for small government, states rights and such, they tend to be big government whenever it comes to wasting time on creating discriminatory and bigoted legislation. It seems like more than anything the party is based on harboring everyone's fears of their fellow man as a motivator for political action than actually discussing something like fiscal policy. I've heard a Libertarian described in many ways as basically a Republican who actually isn't all hung up on what black people and gay people are doing. Anyway, I guess just to jump off on it, concerning the South pride or Texas pride, I feel like I don't see or really understand that growing up in Houston but could totally make out what that kind of feeling is when stopping around small towns going on camping trips or visiting Arkansas or family in Oklahama (I'm totally with you guys on the Midwest reflection of it). I suppose it's an amount of inherent small mindedness and xenophobia that comes with living so far from a densely populated city, not to mention a complete lack of identity because of how little people you've met and how far you haven't traveled. This is not to say someone is immune to any of this harmful thinking in a big city, as gentrification and wealth disparity can do a grand old job on making it hard to mix with people different from you and therefore seeing they are okay. But it is something where most city living means you are going to have to interact with someone who is a different color than you. If you interact negatively, it just causes problems for the rest of us. Learn to love your neighbor. I distinctly remember this incident in gym in high school where this total hick white kid who just moved from whatever town/city transferred to my school and thought it would be awesome for him to wear a bandana with a confederate flag on it. That lasted until the end of the period until getting back into our regular clothes in the locker room when a group of black kids approached him. One dude was trying to explain to him why the bandana was seen as racist and the new kid refused to understand or stop wearing it. The black kid did actually give time for a lengthy discussion until the group started beating up the new kid. The coach comes in pretty quickly and tells the kid he can't wear his confederate flag bandana anymore. I just can't see anything like that happening in a school in a small town in Alabama. However, in that situation it's not like any of the other races (white, mexican, or asian kids) in my gym class said anything. I think maybe I said something to my friend insinuating it was pretty idiotic of this kid to wear that, but that's really ineffective. Racism is everyone's problem, no matter what race, but I still don't know what to do about yelling at other white people to stop being dumb bigoted shits. It's such a culture shock, my parents coming from a small town in Oklahoma and a small town in Michigan say such terrible things sometimes and I even had to correct them when I was young. I chose to stop visiting all of my relatives in Oklahoma (on my mom's side) when I was 14 because of this big cultural wall. I remember at maybe 9 years old my grandma there was yelling at me to stop singing "eenie meenie minnie moe" wrong because it's ACTUALLY "catch a nigger by the toe." And then nine year old me is arguing with my idiotic grandmother about her racism and she would not be phased and no other adult in the room would dare correct her. It's just bullshit. Everyone should know better.

Oh yeah that bit was always pretty brilliant design to me. Doing it quickly in the darkness is for speed runners, but the rest of us will eventually get it as "our eyes" adjust.

Seems to be a combination in an art direction change and a love for money. There's this too: http://www.destructoid.com/i-m-not-happy-with-the-persona-4-dancing-all-night-swimsuit-dlc-291079.phtml

Why do you think that though? Also I think a lot of people would argue with you about Limbo, although it's definitely not a game I loved in that genre. Brilliant! Thank you so much.

Gah okay, I guess if they don't announce a PS4 slim this week, I am putting one on credit. Fuck it. Do it live. This looks so good.

This came out of fucking no where! Awesome! Please find this for me!

So is this the part where we are supposed to confirm to Kojima what an amazing idea The Quiet? Camo idea confirmed and soooo what? She's still a crazy lady running around in the desert with a thong on while everyone else wears coats.

I'm way into this. Less of that Shadow of the Colossus battle stuff and more of the solving puzzles, area traversal style platformer. My hope is that it's really good AND ACTUALLY CONTROLS WELL FOR ONCE and so I can get a much better game than Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom, which I feel like tried to steal Last Guardian's fire by sating a need for a game that would probably never come out. Majin and the Forsaken Kingdom had a lot more Zelda type elements, but it was a good game with neat ideas, although often times very clumsy. Hopefully the 2016 release year still stays confirmed. I'm guessing things were probably scrapped at some point and started over. Maybe like how Ico was for Playstation, the first.

Oh sorry, I thought maybe you were referring to this as being redundant, since generally you wouldn't see a key:

Is there anything different in Earthbound Beginnings compared to the Zero rom already out there? I'm trying to figure out if I should play it again or just stick with my cart.

Hm, yeah would you wear the key around your neck on a chain?

Sense8 used the Wilhelm scream in the last episode. This is a horrible lowpoint on an otherwise great show.

Was it grim dark? I didn't give a fuck about Reboot until they actually put a continuous storyline to it. Then I stopped watching it because it was just on but instead because I wanted to see it. Those earlier episodes seasons are pretty boring by the book Saturday morning cartoon shlock. I'm betting whatever network it was playing on did not enjoy that though, as continuity is rough on cartoons since they always seem to be rerun out of order. I know it was one of the major reasons Nickelodeon scrapped Invader Zim after Season 2, since I guess continuity and build up doesn't play well with them. I'm guessing this is no longer a network concern with the rise of anime shows, which usually have continuity by default, and being able to stream whatever when you want to.

Thanks guys for the podcast, it was way more interesting than the show near the end there and actually made me finish it this time. This weird fringe stuff surrounding pieces of media is also always fascinating to me too. Oh and someone asked weeks ago about my Wario Land 3 e-mail, and since it didn't get read I will post it here: At the end there, I suppose Wario could have been sucked into a door knob.

Let me tell you how much dogs like Burt's Bees.

:wub: On Ping Pong, I think the blu-ray is coming out soon.

Oh weird, that's actually why I sort of said that, mine also directly face eachother all day. Hooray for laundry in the kitchen.

Man what a cutie.

It is also where you can maybe ask Jeff Goldblum anything.
