I Love Mondays - 01/28/2013

Jeff is the only that that can sport the Assassin's Creed Logo Goatee.

One of these days, the staff is going to get sick drinking one of the mailed in drinks.

Jeff's beard is, basically, the logo of the Assassin order.

Holy crap.

@Generiko: I noticed that to, maybe another shitty game for Unprofessional Fridays?

@BlatantNinja23 said:

So why did they need the HDMI adapter, what's wrong with airplay mirroring?

That's ok for static image mirroring but for games it'll be lag and framedrop paradise using Airplay. HDMI adapter is definately the way to go for this.

No, it's gone too far Jeff. It can go this far, no further. The beard is now... untamed.

I see that box of Multimedia Celebrity Poker.

I just lost it when Jeff said "A lot of people like bullshit. But not me." with the DayZ thing in his hand. Looking forward to the antichamber quicklook since what I've seen of the game so far looked like nonsense to me (in a good way I guess).

Hasn't DmC been selling poorly compared to DMC4? It's no skin off my back either way, because Bayonetta exists, but I thought that was the case

@Brad please skip dmc2 and continue dmc1 or jump into dmc3.

Everything sells bad right now. It was on top of several national sales charts and was very well received overall. It will do fine.

You had me at SWERY.

A Fire Emblem QL with Dave? Sweet. I want that game. I don't want to wait till April :(

Frog catching mini-game? Great music? Sure sounds like Final Fantasy IX to me, you guys...

For TNT they should just show more of Toyko Crash Mobs with whatever else they want to show more of.

So here's the week in text:

- Injustice interview

- Swery interview

- iOS games quick looks

- Antichamber quick look

- Omerta: City of Gangsters quick look

- Proteus quick look

- Fire Emblem quick look (Dave and Patrick)

- TNT (obvisously)

- Unprofessional Fridays (obviously)

Maybe:

Bradley May Cry part 2 (again maybe)

Jurassic Lark part deux (another maybe, it's probably not gonna happen though)

I'm really not looking forward to iOS game coverage.

It's kind of funny, The same thing that @Jeff suggesting might happen with DMC has come full circle on wind waker.

People got upset, And called bitched all over the internet about how they hated the look. Nicknaming it "Celda" then once they got their hands on it, It happened to be one of the better games, And beloved by fans. Flash forward to a week ago now the internet is bitching that the zelda HD mock ups they did look different than the original wind waker.

It's the internet, Where people invest way too much time bitching about shit that only matters to that very loud few.

I also wonder how many people made multiple accounts just so they could down vote dante's new look an extra 10 times because, "I HATE IT THAT MUCH!"

The best part of an energy drink is the taste. Why would you want to mask the flavor?

I would play "There's An Island: The Videogame"

Great, get Patrick to sit down with Swery, the only one of the five who didn't ER Deadly Premonition, and the worst sit-down interviewer of the entire site. How can Vinny not be part of the Gilbert or Swery interviews when he's one of the biggest fans of both? Vinny and Ryan were definitely the most interested in DP... oh well.

Yeah, this is fucking nonsense.

The original Swery interview is one of my favorite pieces of content on the site, just heartwarming stuff.

I can't imagine it turning out that good with Klepek there.

Patrick: "HEY HOW COME YOU GAME SO JAPANESE?!"

Swery: *annoyed glare*

Patrick: "IS THIS EMBLEMATIC OF GAMING TROPES?"

Swery: [in Japanese:] "How does he make typos when he's speaking?"

Patrick: "HEY I PLAYED A GAME ONCE, IT CALLED X-FILES."

Swery: *surprised look, nods approvingly*

this is now cannon.

It doesn't help that it's a Ninja Theory game and they have sold poorly. Heavenly Sword did ok, but Enslaved sold really bad. Almost as bad as Shadows of the Damned.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Enslaved and Ninja Theory is at the top of the game in making believable characters & developing emotions for them. They are true story tellers like Obsidian. Anyway, it's a damn shame it's selling poorly, because it is a pretty great game. I was never into the other DMC games, and would have skipped this one but it's a Ninja Theory game so I had to play it. Bought it on Steam and so far have enjoyed it quite a bit. It's no Enslaved, but the characters and their connection to the viewer (me) work really well. The story & writing is cheesy at times, but interesting enough to make me continue. The worlds they create are really unique, abstract ?& just cool to look at.

The thing is, Ninja Theory is likely hanging on strings because of the poor sales their games have produced. This new DMC game needs to sell well for them to continue making awesome games. Hopefully it sells better soon.

No! I want them to realize exactly how 'not good' that game is, and I want to watch them while it happens.

SWERY!

Deadly Premonition pre-ordered. And I hate pre-orders in principal. but SWERY needs to get paid. PAY HIM!

GB to start covering iOS games? .. Yay?

If they do like a video each month or so where they show a bunch of games that's fine by me.

Isn't it great that if they're covering something you're not interested you can just not watch it?

With the release of Skulls of the Shogun, it finally ends the 6 week drought of no Xbox branded games on Windows Phone. As a Nokia Lumia 920 owner this makes me very happy.

dont run around with your day z knife! someone could poke an eye out!

I still really need to play Deadly Premonition

I think we need a Jeff/Brad or Vinny/Brad Endurance Run of Ni No Kuni

As this video was nearing the end, I kept glancing down at the progress bar thinking "Shit, Ryan's running out of time to tilt up to the ceiling."

He got there in the end though. Just.

@pancakehumper said:

THIS even though I'd understand if they'd say no. I can imagine ERs to be really tiring.

Also, if you are going to have another SWERY interview, pleeeaaase include Vinny and/or Brad! It'd be great if all the original endurance runners has one-on-one time with him.

@Abendlaender: In your head did you fill in, "instead of the games I like?"

I would hurt many babies, to have one of those walking dead hats, this is a thought i have every single time I see them.

I'd love to see some Saint's Row: The Third for TNT. You guys didn't manage to get around to it in the TNTHQ, so I think this TNT would probably be a great fit.

Like I said last week - every time there's a shot of Patrick with his hands behind his head, take a drink.

Dear god, thank you. I never pay close enough attention to these kinds of videos to actually get anything useful out of them.

its true. japan's standards for coffee are pretty low.

oh wait but I guess facts don't matter to you, do they?

Oh no, video games have come out on a platform not made by Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo! None of those so-called "games" will ever be actual video games.

As an ardent fan of DMC who railed and wailed when the reboot was first shown, I not only am enjoying DmC quite a great deal, but am genuinely curious to see what Ninja Theory could do with a sequel. Congrats, Ninja Theory. You changed someone's mind on the Internet. That's no small feat.

Real talk, though? Put the taunt button back in, god dammit.

Patrick is at least more interested in DP than Ryan and you are mistaking Vinny's natural enthusiasm for good (er, interesting) storytelling as being super invested in the storyline.

DP is patrick territory through and through, though, and I didn't really need to see him play to know that.

also you saying he's the worst sit down interviewer of the site doesn't really mean much since you don't like him anyway.

SWERY makes me love Mondays.

Inquiring minds need to know: Did SWERY look into his coffee for answers?

Where did the the "intro" go?
