Remember when they played Marlow Briggs? Well, he's back!

RE5 just wrapped up. What I'd really like them to play is the recently released Shenmue I and II remaster. They like Yakuza and Shenmue acted as a big inspiration for that series. I recall them talking about Shenmue at some point, but I can't recall what they said.

The Marlow Briggs LP is shaping up to be my favorite in a long time.

I didn't write any of that.

I really hope that they do the other two Banner Saga games eventually, now that they're done with the first one.

Tales from the Borderlands is one of Telltale's best, so I'm glad to see them play it.

Finally they get to play a good Telltale game where no terrible people get portrayed as good guys by the story.

So yeah, I guess DMC is because they got done with The Banner Saga, and Tales from the Borderlands was because they got done with Marlow Briggs.

So with RE 5 also done, what else will they play, I wonder?

Tales from the Borderlands is probably my favorite Telltale game so I'm excited to see how they approach it.

My Borderlands knowledge is not the greatest. Like, what is this vault they all want, and what's going on with this Handsome Jack guy?

Also, for two days in a row they've completely missed their afternoon update. Please don't tell me they're moving to only one video a day.

Just in preparation for the Shitstorm next month.

[up][up] Right, so you don't know either. Gotcha.

I was curious as to why all of Zero's dialogue had / 's in them. I had a feeling he was speaking in Haiku. Turns out that, yes, he speaks entirely in Haiku.

Earlier in the Devil May Cry LP they were talking about an earlier build centered around a "hook guy." First thing that comes to my mind when you say character action game where you fight a hook guy is this.

No, Billy has outright said "Various things and Shitstorm prep mean we'll only have one video a day" on Twitter.

So I'm really enjoying Woolie and Billy going through Naruto lore together. Woolie's reactions to things from the game are great, even if he already knew some stuff due to osmosis.

I think the Ultimate Ninja Storm games are the best way to get through Naruto. None of the huge arcs of filler and all the garbage fluff, just the main plot points and the explanation that comes with them.

That first enemy encounter is perfect comedy. I was laughing all the way through.

It's pretty much comedy gold on their part.

No one gonna talk about the Shitstorm? So far I think Paratopic is my favourite because it's so aggressively weird, but I also love the engrish in The Last End.

Also, unrelated to the storm, I was watching an episode of Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, specifically the episode "Sheriff Skyfire" and, the character Clint, who features prominently in the episode, well, does he remind you of anyone?

The Last Dead End is my favorite so far, because the dialogue and gameplay changes are just So Bad, It's Good. And all those historical tidbits in the loading screens make me wonder if the whole thing was sponsored by the Azerbaijan Board of Tourism.

But in terms of actual quality, Paratopic is the best of the three. Makes a thorough atmosphere of dread through surrealism rather than relying on jumpscares. The use of Smash Cuts was very interesting—I liked the cheeky bit where the game makes you wait a full minute for the elevator to come down to your floor, but when you step into the elevator, you snap to your destination in an instant.

But I was a bit spoiled on that game, because Matt already did an episode about it on his solo channel a few months ago. At least I forgot enough details that this replay was still interesting.

Also, in one of the recent Devil May Cry 3 videos, Pat mentioned in passing that he played some game named Evil Park (IIRC) for the Shitstorm, and he said it was awful, so we've got that to look forward to.

The Last Deadend is a neat bit of kitsch just because I can't think of much English-language media focused around Azerbaijan in the first place. I remember seeing Paratopic on Matt's channel before. The high quality PS 1 textures and warped audio definitely add to the creepiness factor.

That tantrum Pat threw over the Game Boy in last week's podcast was pathetic.

It's Pat. You know how he gets over really petty stuff.

Remember the entire kerfuffle over whether Wesker teleported or just moved really fast?

Remember almost every conversation Pat and Liam ever had?

Not like it's a thing exclusive to Pat, either. Matt gets EXTRA petulant whenever he's playing a game poorly and gets called out for being bad at it.
