@wampa1: Turns out Tricky is actually Benjamin Button, the surgery merely a front.

I love this video. I especially agree with your point, @patrickklepek, that it's good to play games- and do things, in general- that make you a little bit uncomfortable.

@patrickklepek stoked to hear you're looking to play Dark Souls. I'm a strong believer that it's totally ok to use a guide with this particular game. It's still a hell of a challenge, and a fantastic game. Maybe a video series of you getting pissed off at DS?

Looking good, Patrick. Good luck with the surgery and a speedy recovery!

These are cool, they're a really nice premium feature. Jeff's Jar Time is always good fun, and it's great to see someone else do it. It's a different feel from the podcast because you get the chance to monologue on stuff.

Glad to hear you have an interest in Valkyria Chronicles. It's not perfect, but it's one of my favorite PS3 games out there. A great piece of historical fiction at that. Maybe would make for a good contender for Unprofessional Fridays sometime down the road.

I've only played the Gamecube and Wii Fire Emblems (Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn), but I really loved both of them. They make for a fantastic combined narrative arc; I would say they're definitely worth going back to. Looking forward to FE Awakening once I actually get a 3DS.

If you play more Fire Emblem, @patrickklepek, I'd recommend going with Path of Radiance on the GameCube. It has the best balance of story, character, and overall gameplay than any of the others that have been released in North America up to this point.

The satisfaction you got from the fighting in Dragon's Dogma is multiplied by like 10 when you fight normal enemies and bosses in Dark Souls.

As for a new tactical RPG I'm also going to end up getting Tactics Ogre for the PSP since I hear its pretty close to Final Fantasy Tactics.

Hey, you know . . . it wouldn't be a bad idea if @patrickklepek did these once in awhile. We only ever hear from Patrick in the context of everyone else on podcasts and events. I like hearing from each of these guys, on their own, individually. It reinforces the whole "GB is about the byline/personalities" thing. This is one of the neatest things Patrick has gotten around to doing and I appreciate it every bit as much as Jeff's Jar Time stuff.

Will be keeping him in my mind this week. Surgery scares me. I'm a huge pussy. I don't envy his situation, but hope it all goes well.

Yes, always enjoy seeing the guys doing something like this at home. Like when Vinny did one of those after Max was born, sharing his thoughts on Fez and what it's like to never sleep.

I think I "appreciate" this more than Jar Time, but that could be because Jeff's mic is horrible and ear piercing. CLIPPING AT ALL TIMES. Anyways, I liked this vid. Wouldn't mind seeing more like it.

Guys, this is the part where I mention that House of Cards is based off an excellent British miniseries (in turn based off a book). Sorry.

Also, I think Patrick is a pretty good question answering guy. He should do this more often?

Good to see Patrick is doing well. I suspect he is heavily medicated, so all the better!

He's flaunting his pill stash, just over his right shoulder.

@nekuctr: Brad did do content from home once, it was about Star Craft II.

Even if I didn't know about the collar bone accident, I would've guessed something was up with the way Patrick was leaning. I haven't broke my collarbone, but I have been in pain enough where it was way easier to just lean an awkward way.

Also, thanks for the content Patrick!

Why is Brad the only one that doesn't do features from home? I'd love to see him do some Bombasticas or tech speculation, or something. Anything.

Ended up getting a haircut way shorter that I'd anticipated...

I don't envy that hair. Or maybe I do since we're the same age and most of mine has been gone for like 5 years. Ugh.

Surgery scares me but I guess everything is good since this was made days ago?

The thing about the reasoned DMC fans that's still not seen is, to them, DMC was dead either way. Getting drowned out by the GYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGH crowd's personal attacks didn't help, apparently...

Still, they apparently voted with their wallets, and the vote was resounding, I guess.

He looks completely fine, I wonder if he was still in pain? It seemed like breaking your collarbone would hurt a lot. In any case, get better soon!

I'm sure he was still in pain, I broke my collarbone a few years ago and it is THE WORST. Took almost a year to heal up completely. I just hope Patrick didn't let Vinny operate on him after he graduated from Surgery Simulator school '13. Feel better dude!

By the way, I just read your name is probablytuna, and that is hilarious.

You should do this kinda thing more often, Patrick. This kind of format allows you to elaborate on points you can't really get across on the Bombcast or a live show because their intent isn't for factual in depth discussions about why you like or dislike something, it's mostly for entertainment, and I feel like even though I disagree with a a fair few of your points on certain topics (even then, I'm never vocal or outraged by you having an opinion on something) this kind of format really helps me understand where you're coming from.

Agreed.

And get well soon Patrick!

Going from Fire Emblem: Awakening to Valkyria Chronicles is a really smart, and natural progression. If you've found the character systems in Fire Emblem interesting, then you'll really appreciate those systems in Valkyria Chronicles.

And it's definitely better written and voice acted than any of the other DMCs, whether you like the content or not.

Firstly, your opinion is not fact.

Second, no Devil May Cry game is written well, DmC is no exception. The one liners are definitely a "quantity over quality" type.

Third, the voice acting award, I think, goes to DMC3 and DMC4 Dante. He's way into his role, and DmC Dante has a similar tone throughout most of the game.

Of course, this is all just my opinion. You're free to dispute, but try to refrain from your "whether you like it or not I'm-right-you're-wrong" attitude.
