Looking good Brad! Slick as fuuuuuuuuuu..!

The real question is when are we getting XCOM 2?

i feel lucky i still have most of my hair, but time is a ticking. it was kinda weird when my receeding hairline just sort of stopped. if it proceeds any more or i get it any thinner in back, away it all goes.

I question how much Brad knows about Scotch. Spinnaker 12 is a low end single malt.

I'm sorry, I had to make a highlight of the Far Cry 4 being on fire segment and the staff's funny voices. Had me laughing so hard, thinking the protagonist is like some Woody Allen-esque nervous wreck.

Harold and Maude is one of my favorite movies, tatally dark and awesome, great soundtrack too.

Also, Bad Brad is the Best Brad.

I like how Jeff talks about "the digital future" in the same episode where they just talk about the limited storage capacity of devices (the 8GB ipad), and where PSN got hacked and taken down. Yet Mercenaries on Xbox works. Freakin' disc based games for the WIN!!!!!

Digital future suck it!

If yawning was triggered by a need for increased oxygen to the brain, people would yawn as they drowned.

I think yawning is just to stretch the muscles in the face, throat, and chest.

Haha what a great ending

Really fun episode with the platinum trophy.

in that case I think the bodies imperative would be to not take on water, so it would over ride and urges to yawn.

@rigas: It was more of an ironic observation. Scientists are constantly dreaming up ridiculous theories regarding yawning. "It's to micro-cool the brain." "It's how primates remind each other to stay alert." These are literally some of the theories, and of all the ideas presented none is based on any valid observations. For example, the cooling theory is that as the brain is worked harder, it requires the vessels in the roof of the mouth leading to the brain to be cooled. Then why do people yawn most often when not taxing their brains, as when bored or sleepy? And why would that be contagious? "Your brain is overheating, I'd better cool mine down."

I like Brad's hair a lot.

@hippie_genocide: The rallisport games are still my favourite rally games.

Fuckin brad trying to mortar when they're right behind you shooting you

Bad @Brad and digs at IGN; awww, yeah. B|

I lost it at the helicopter using a dancehall horn. Too funny.

Bought Mercenaries for like $8 on ebay. Excited to play it cause I really liked Battlefront and this game seems fun.

UPF is dead, guys. :(

I still fire up the OG Xbox from time to time to play that game. Man, Rallisport Challenge 2 was a great game. It looked amazing for its time and played really well. @drewbert, this is the rally game you're looking for.

Also, Mercenaries. I somehow lost my copy of that game. It is now my mission to go find another.

The story in Syndicate is such fucking hot garbage I have no idea how Jeff can look past that. I would have much rather taken a multiplayer focused Syndicate that was putting all its efforts to make the matchmaking and encounters really effective.

Goddamnit the singleplayer in Syndicate makes me so mad.

Damn, really want to play Mercenaries now.

@bill_mcneal:watching some old vids and your comment made me lose it....funny shit duder

Watching this brings back such nostalgia for Colin McRae Rally 2005 (IIRC, the original? CMR1?) The handling and graphics were fantastic, this great combo between arcade and sim, which just felt nice to play.

It STILL kinda looks ok for a 10 year old game. God damn :(

♥ @drewbert

Jeff's prediction for the development of VR was spot on. I still hope it gets good.
