Who needs video guys? Also who needs this game?

I'm with you. Whenever they talked about these games I must have tuned out completely and just meshed them into one game in my mind. It's insane that they actually are releasing both these franchises at practically the same time.

The sonic package was well done and Jeff's reaction to it was pure gold

I drank quite a bit of Absinthe when I was younger and it sure as hell gets you very drunk, very fast, but I never felt it have any kind of hallucinogenic effect whatsoever. (And, yes, I drank real Absinthe.) It also kind of tastes bad, very much like Eucalyptus.

Still love how freaked out Dan tends to get over everything that's even mildly drug-related, though.

Also congrats on that "sick" Witcher-Fan burn, Brad.

This was a great Track Walk. Ought to love the intro.

Never cared for Minecraft at all and kinda hate that it's become as stupidly huge as it has and yet this still seems weirdly interesting to me.

Listening to this conversation (and the ones in the last view podcasts) about The Witcher 3 and the dumb comparisons between it and MGS V, I already know that this year's GOTY deliberation podcasts will be the most painful and sigh-inducing for me in years.

Don't get me wrong, MGS V is great and will most certainly end up in my top 3 (depending on Fallout 4 and Star Wars: Battlefront's quality), but boy oh boy, Dan's fanboy "Kojima can do no wrong logic" concerning that game gives me a headache.

Saying MGS V's story is better than The Witcher 3's is insane to me, and I'm saying that as a huge fan of previous MGS storylines.

Also the whole "it introduces so many new things all the time" argument is terrible, since a) TW3 is an RPG, thus it's to be expected that you should know what skills etc. you get immediately (it's the case in virtually every other RPG too), so you can spec your character accordingly and b) 90% of the stuff you get in MGS V you don't need and thus maybe try once or twice, before going back to actually effective weapons/items. (See Metal Gear Scanlon.)

And not to forget how messed up the whole FOB thing has gotten by now, which somehow I think will get completely ignored, when later talking about the game, while things like TW3's buggy beginnings will most certainly come up again.

I don't really care about "my favourite game" placing well in the GB GOTY list, but I hate biased/unbalanced/not very thoughtful arguments.

Not really a Zelda game I'd like to play, but it at least seems to execute well on what it actually wants to do.

The whole loot mechanic doesn't seem great at all, though.

Also, yeah, good job doing this without Drew or Jason around.

I'm a bit on fence about getting this, since while I did have fun with the main game, I'm with Alex in that it never quite grabbed me as much as CIV V (or IV for that matter).

The hybrid unit stuff does look cool, though.

Oh, what a surprise. People are arguing in the comments section. Life truly is strange.

This was fun and it's really interesting to see how little Dan cares for Disney. Disney was just huge in Europe while I was growing up and Donald and Co. were to be found absolutely everywhere. Loved that stuff as a kid, still really like it now.

Also good first show without Drew and Jason.

I'm sure Danny is already looking forward to the QL.
