You guys should really add these to the "Subscriber" section as well. It'll be a bitch to find these again.

Tribute to the series and hopefulness that Tricky does the Breaking Scoops thing.

Video quality was super solid this time around and I didn't notice any of the audio sync issues Mr C was mentioning. Just don't forget the candles next time =D

@patrickklepek: As someone that doesn't play a lot of horror games myself, it is a lot of fun to watch you play them. Any idea of when you will be featuring games from the more recent consoles? The effort you are putting in to improve this feature is paying off. Keep up the great work!

Console stuff is a ways off. I'm waiting to see how Jeff's console capture stuff works out.

I think the plan is to do more recent games once he builds a new PC during Tested's octoberkast. As it is now, playing any 3D game causes everything to chug to unwatchable levels.

*EDIT* oops, you said CONSOLES -_-;; sorry~

So Brad has Breaking Brad, Jeff has jartime and his new play old ass hell games thing, Vinny sorta has that play old PC games thing, Drew's got his flight games, Dave also does the old ass PC game thing. I think the only one missing is Ryan who used to do TANG.

Getting better dude, nice job on this feature.

Also Thanks for answering my questions on the stream, thats one thing youill have over the other staff members and i very much appreciate you for it, you listen to the community and you pay attention to comments while balancing feedback from the community and doing your own thing and trying new stuff. you dont essentially tell the community to fuck off like ryan does, and with the exception of goof videos like the Medal of honor quicklook, you dont act like a know it all and come off like a smart ass like brad usually does.

so, much respect scoopz man

Could always get in touch with the 4 Player Podcast guys and see how they do it. Always looks fine live.

Love the feature btw. Can't stand playing horror games myself but I apparently like watching someone else play.

Anyone else think the Lone Survivor character looks like he has a huge smile on his face the entire time? Is that supposed to be like a surgeons mask?

@patrickklepek you're maybe 1/5 of the way though lone survivor.
Really loved that game, great atmosphere and effective ambiguity to what's actually happening. Though there's a nemesis style chase sequence which gets a little annoying, somewhere near the middle of that game.

Indeed, it just deserves more reposts. Honestly, this would be bad ass as part of an intro or something.

And I'm surprised how cool this feature is turning out. Nice to see Trickster G commit.

After watching the end and hearing you talk about horror films i now want a "jar" series from you that's solely based around horror movies, shows, video games etc. Not playing games but taking questions and just talking about the genre.

Dewar's, your old man has some fine taste. Nicely done. As for suggestions, I'd love to see more Japanese stuff. Fatal Frame maybe, and definitely more Clock Tower. Also, Haunting Ground should fit nicely into this feature.

He mentioned it in one of the past videos. I believe its one of the Astros? maybe the A40s? I remember him mentioning they are Resident Evil 6 branded. Pretty sure they are the A40s.

Personally if you are going to spend a shitton on a headset, i'd recommend Turtle Beach, they make some good sets, along with the Tittrons(i think the square earcup design on the Tittrons are reall cool looking compared to most headsets) from madcats I personally have a set of Turtle Beach PX21s that are nice. What are you looking for? just a good stereo set with a mic? or do you want something more like a 'surround sound' set? Really, i've never heard bad reviews about any of the bigger name companies producing headsets now a days, besides how expensive they are. It all depends on what you are looking for and how much you are willing to spend.

That game is legitimately awesome for the first hour or so, but it doesn't hold up for the entire thing. I bought it out of pure interest, and I don't regret it, but I'll definitely never beat it. The atmosphere is something else, though, and very impressive for a 2D game.

You know, I've heard that "smiling" comment about Lone Survivor a few times now but I just don't see it. To me it always looks like a surgical mask. Also Trick's room was so dark that I didn't even realize the cam was still up in the lower right corner.

Edit: Oh god, him totally ignoring half the rooms almost drove me insane.

He's building a proper PC soon to be able to play more graphically intensive games, he said last time.

I have to say normally I'm not all that big on Patrick (though I don't go bitching about it needlessly) but this feature really worked out for him. Looking forward to more.

He's wearing a mask, not smiling. Though admittedly it does kind of look like it. And Patrick just ignored do many items, like the letter hanging in plain sight rigght next to him, and the diary. And how do you NOT talk to the stuffed cat immediately?! Oh, watching other people play games. So fun, so occasionally aggravating!

This has the potential to become my favorite feature on the site.

Copied your comment and sent it patricks way via formspring. He ill either respond tommorow, or monday, and it seems like a question he would answer, so i wouldnt think he would ignore it or delete it.

Thanks for asking my questions, Patrick! Totally forgot about the whole "Vita capture software" jazz, but despite that it was a very fun (and spooky) livestream- hope to catch the next one before it starts next time!
