Thursday Night Throwdown: 06/06/2013

I also couldn't get through the first season of 24 because Cuthbert.

That frame rate is terrible, looks like it's playing in fast forward.

A LOGBOOK

terrible? That's what games look like when they're not running on shitty hardware. The game speed might be a bit faster than normal but the frame rate is great.

I still don't like this game but it's good as a background so they can talk about more interesting stuff.

I like how Ryan never put his new skill on his toolbar.

No, that is actually a good frame rate.

I'm going to have to go buy a copy of Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Man I wish they'd make another one of those because MUA2 was not good.

The Cow level is a craftable portal.

@npfeifer: Some tension going on since @rorie hit the set.

Really like what Rorie is bringing to the live shows, acting as a bridge between the Giant Bomb community and staff. The constant stream of questions meant there was always something new to talk about. In the past there have been far too many extended periods of time in live shows where nothing was happening and it could get a little tedious. At times Ryan and Jeff were a little short with Rorie, I think because they were so engrossed in their game, but towards the end I got a feeling they realised what Rorie was doing and the conversation was great.

Keep up the great work Rorie. I'm so glad you're back where you belong!

Ryan is a dick.

I love ryan's steadfast refusal to level up his character.

drink beer and play video games. it's a hard life at Giantbomb. :)

yes, I am jealous!

Booo!

So happy to see Rorie back on camera, where he belongs!

I know there have been a few videos now, but 60 FPS vidz is pretty neat! It does make the talking heads looking a little soap-opera-y though, but I think that works pretty well here.

Come on! Bampf-effect! That's got to be one of the best mutant power name! Petition to make Nightcrawler playable - Click here to like!

Is it just me, or is the video player going to shit? Long, frequent pauses in every video. It used to work fine. Hope it isn't like this during E3.

That being said, Giant Bomb rules!

The gameplay feed looked SO SMOOTH. I'm talkin' Johnny V smooth.

@crunchman:
60 frames per second, son!

So it turns out Ryan knows a fair bit about comics, would have thought it would have been an ideal oppertunity to get the G-Man in though, he is a walking encyclopdia of comic book knowledge. Still really enjoyed this, i am also playing the game so it was fun seeing you guys go through the early stuff again.

Ol' shakey leg Klepek

I don't like this Ale hate! it's tearing us apart!

Hayter was also the bland white guy in this hot banger: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndfLhxou3SE

Along with Kim Mai Guest. I wonder if the original English language recording survives to this day.(That's the intro from FEDA 2 on PSX)

"I think Deadpool's kinda lame. That shit's not funny."

Jeff Gerstmann: Giant Bombs and Truth Bombs

Yeah, I always thought Deadpool was a funny idea that they took WAY too far. He's become way too meta in a way that makes him totally unfunny.

A totally clean-shaven Rorie is odd to see.

I'm used to him with a bit of grizzle on his face.

Great show, was not expecting the Dark Souls talk and Bioforge cameos. Could not ask for more.

rorie just kills it on this tnt

Does anyone know if you can solo the entire game (If they said it on the stream and I missed it sry)

I like the part where Patrick is listing off his various opinions of every season of 24, and absolutely nobody on the set gives a fuck what he is saying.

What that 10 seconds of Patrick talking about 24? That's what you took away from this entire stream?

@onefreeman said:

The part where everyone stonewalled him and no one took the bait on exchanging their own opinions of the show struck me as funny.

It was brief, but he did randomly give a pretty detailed breakdown of what he thought of all the seasons, in a conversation that was only tangentially about 24, if I remember correctly.
