I Love Mondays - 07/09/2012

As much as I like The Secret World, those investigation missions are badly designed. How about we throw in a clue so vague you'll get red herringed to four different location only to find that the real solution is bugged and you have to reset the tier to get an event to trigger. A hell of a time to spend 2.5 hours. Happened on three missions now.

F it, happy to not bother with those sub-par point-n-click puzzles.

It seems as if only Brad and Jeff are in the office on Mondays.

Also, what about a little Street Fighter or UMVC3 for TNT to celebrate the amazing weekend that was EVO weekend?

The doldrums of summer are the perfect time for Giant Bomb original content. Start an endurance run. Have Ryan review a movie. I don't care, just stop wasting time covering shovelware, demos, and dlc.

Sounds good to me.

i miss the crazy scripted ILM's

That was phrased a bit meanly, but I like the idea behind the rage.

I would love a GB and guests ladder tourney for TNT. It can be for any game really, it doesn't matter.

ENDLESS SPACE

QFT, +1, and all that internet lingo to indicate that I support this statement!

Mmmmm, sweet, delicious Mondays. :p

@Lugixx: It's my pet peeve listening to Jeff talk about games - he tends to find X way to do something that drastically reduces the effort/challenge involved, and sticks with it despite it probably taking a lot of fun out of things. I don't know if it's for lack of time or what, but it's not the first time I've heard that same idea.

@Jawshua:Out. OUT! :P

Breaking Brad: Endless Space Edition (guest starring Dave, Drew, and Vinny)!

Ryan is out, and Patrick is out, but no mention of Vinny!? That is a totally unfair cliffhanger!

I can think of several: Tyr, Thor, Freya and the Sun.

Tyr (from the Old English Tiu), Odin (from the Old English Woden), Thor, Frigg (not Freya, though there are arguments), Saturn, and the Sun.

It's kind of insane that people sit around debating which games to play for money. I mean, I understand why they do it; I'm literally paying them. But that just makes the whole situation even wilder. Video games.

That sounds like Jeff alright.

I wish I could do as little and take as many days off as these guys do.

Yeh I do wonder what these guys actually do all day. It just seems like the amount of content that comes out isn't proportional to a full week's work. And they always talk about how tired they are and all that. I know the video side of things takes a lot of work, so I imagine Vinny and Drew are always busy with that stuff, but the rest of them I dunno.

I really do wish they would put out a lot more premium content though.

As someone who doesn't give a shit about anything on this site that isn't the podcast and the QLs/original video content, I constantly catch myself wondering what they hell they're doing all day/week if all we get is ~3 QLs, a TNT and a podcast.

I'm sure there's some other stuff on this site that takes up their time - it's just not something that has my attention. Do previews really get that many views? They're useless to me if they aren't video with the staff member playing (essentially a QL EX).

New favorite video still image.

(What do you call those? They're not thumbnails. There must be a proper term for them.)

I love Tuesdays.

Thanks @Brad, some of us haven't forgotten that we were promised a NeverDead QL a long time ago. :P

On a related note:

Oh man, I know exactly what you have linked here. I was losing my mind when I first heard this episode of the podcast. Funny as hell, but also kinda really fucked-up.

I regret my initial post, having listened to the podcast linked to below.

Looking at Brad's tiny coffee cup and knowing he is from the same place as i am in NCm i know I couldn't ever move to California. I have to have sweet tea in the morning. If I can't have sweet team I keep a stash of Monster Rehab in hiding. But I know sweet tea is a curse word out west, and there would be many dead hippies in San Fran after just one week of me being there. I forgot to mention, I absolutely hate everything coffee. It makes me sick. That makes me a bad person doesn't it.

I looked into endless space, but just ended up buying sword of the stars on steam, still want a quick look of it though, also a rainbow moon quick look would be cool to.

Man... this pizza I bought at the grocery store on my way home from work is really good. I thought it would be just shitty generic grocery store freezer section pizza but no, this is a taste explosion in my mouth. o__o

i want to see jeff;s face

I second this wholeheartedly. It has to be the GB flight club that tackles it though.

Jeff and the suffix Mania can only be good.

JeffMania?

I... I had to say it, okay? I just couldn't stop it.

Brad don't go suggesting NeverDead quick looks if you aren't going to do it. I would totally watch that

I would really like some Endless Space coverage!

Cover Endless Space, Brad!

Cover it, cover it, cover it, cover it!

I really hope they keep this format for I love Mondays.

Hey Brad, hug me maybe?

I second this! Jeff, Brad make this happen!

I slept half the day on Monday, that's how much I love them.
