So... heroes of the storm next? The best moba the world forgot about.

There are dozens of us, dozens! : )

Jokes aside I'd be totally down with Ben doing a "MOBA World Tour" taking a look at all of them. They mentioned possibly trying Cho'gall in HotS and that could be an interesting way to look at that game. Trying a hero that's very different than other mobas and has both Ben and Jan controlling parts of the hero could make for an entertaining stream.

Just curious, can someone fill me in on why Jeff has ~30 battlepass rewards when he logs in? I think hes played a game or two of Dota on the site before but if its still giving him tutorial suggestions when logging in I don't think he's played much. Do you get some rewards "for free" just for logging on? Or did they buy him some battle pass levels off camera?

I feel like these comment sections always devolve into arguments about whether it's good or bad that Dan's curious/wanting to learn new things. I'm glad Dan's curious, I'm never gonna hate on someone who wants to learn something they don't know... but I also don't think him questioning the other people on a video about each thing that comes on screen makes for entertaining content.

I watch GB videos of games like this because they've shown over and over they can make boring or bad or strange games fun and funny. Dan's questions don't really do that for me and I ended up turning this one off once they got to the tires bit. I wish he had some filter in his head between "questions that might be fun or funny to ask during a video" vs "questions I'm gonna keep in the back of my head and google afterwards".

Some GB fans clearly do find this entertaining and that's fine, but the fact that we're in reruns on the "sand in computers" topic kinda hammers it home for me. They had a wide ranging, entertaining, fucking weeeeeird discussion with Dan on the beast cast a few months ago about how "everything is made of dust and rocks". A podcast suited the discussion better and allowed it to go interesting places.

Anyways, this isn't meant as Dan hate, I've seen plenty of videos where Dan's engaged with the game and making jokes or commenting on the absurdity of whats on screen or making fun of the way the QL driver is playing. If by some small chance Dan happens to read this and wants some feedback, consider giving us more of that Dan please :)

Dang, I was hoping Drew would be virtually beamed into this quick look. Since they have the cross coast tech worked out I assume the schedule didn't work out, too bad since this looks is a Drew ass Drew game!

Yeahhhhh this concept had potential but doesn't look like they pulled it off unfortunately. As for the McElroy's, it feels like the game was going for a fake "whispered golf analyst" vibe for the commentary, which isn't really in line with their brand of humor. They're prone to loud outbursts when reacting to and playing off each other. Here it sounds like they all recorded VO separately and it just plays a line when it thinks it might be appropriate.

PS If you aren't familiar with the McElroys, don't let this game sour you. I actually think Griffin McElroy is probably the closest thing to a Vinny clone out there right now (I say that in the most positive way possible). He just loves creating horrible creatures and breaking games in various terrible wonderful ways.

If anyone's curious that StarCrafts mod is made by Carbot Animation and is based on their youtube series of the same name. Here's the "opening cinematic", a parody of the first wings of liberty trailer with Tychus getting suited up.

Carbot also does cartoon spoofs of WoW, Heroes of the Storm and Overwatch on the same channel that I've found pretty damn funny. A lot of the humor is inside jokes about the games, but if you're a fan of the game involved you'll probably like his stuff.

Hmm... Seems like the main difference between this and most other metroidvania games is that you typically access new areas by gaining new powers or weapons that stick with you throughout the game (ie once you have the missiles you can get through any X color door in the world).

Here it seems like it depends on either the robots color, gender or size to open specific doors. Since the different robots seem really temporary, hope it doesn't get tiresome to find the right one to unlock doors over and over. I really like the look and the idea but gonna wait for some full reviews on this.

Has anyone played further into the game on EA access? If so, do the enemies get smarter/more dangerous at any point later on in the game?

From this QL it looks like they removed Faith's ability to use guns (huzzah!) but compensated by making the enemies very little threat at all :( Which would be a huge bummer to me, as much as I didn't like the combat in the first, I do have some great memories of running from guards in a tough spot and feeling like I just barely escaped because they could shoot you or beat you down pretty easily.
