@sethmode: fair enough, haven't listened to much of today's cast yet. My examples were from previous days where her arguments have really rubbed me the wrong way a couple of times. But whatever, no one is going to agree with everyone all the time no matter what the discussion is

@sethmode: the problem is, a lot of times when she did try to make good points, they were wrong. Saying Nier has a generic JRPG soundtrack or the Hell Blade is offensive about mental health issues because of some article she heard someone talking about which she has "read a little of" is disingenuous and a little insulting honestly

For the record, no one irked me quite as much as Brad did during this years deliberations, and I thought Ben did a really good job at points articulately expressing his thoughts. And I enjoyed listening to all of the debates regardless

Well, at least they were right last year. Haha in all serious, great year and a ton of content, Happy New Year to all the crew and fellow duders.

@friskysmokind: I've also been really impressed by Ben's ability to express his thoughts and make convincing arguments, no matter if I agree with him or not.

Other than when he tried to torpedo Horizon by comparing the robots to Michael Bay Transformers (funny mind you, but erroneous)

Poor form from Jeff using the Lions, but Dan didn't have a chance either way

@curryspiced: The Mario Sunshine thing in particular was directed at one specific video from the series where there was another back and forth in the comments sections between people that complained about the eating and the white knights that jumped in to defend. For the record, I believe I was the first comment then that wasn't a fan of the eating. For the record, I could care less if they eat or drink during a stream, and it didn't bother me here in the least, but in that particular video two of the crew were chewing popcorn directly into the microphones and repeatedly talking with their mouths full, which to me personally is disgusting. I bowed out of the conversation after that because, as always with differing opinions, some people got really nasty to defend whatever their chosen soapbox was.

I doubt Vinny was actually upset in any way, and it was more of just a reference to a particular comments thread like they sometime make. Also, in laid back, "hang out" streams like this I find it much less of a big deal or distraction than in more focused features like Sunshine

Holy smokes, this looks just as amazingly boring as MH games usually come off. I'm afraid o just have to admit that despite having respect for these things for building up a huge fan base, I'm just never going to understand or enjoy it.

Glad that fans of the series seem to really like this one though, and if it brings new people to the series, good on it. There should always be a video game for everyone. But let me throw my hat in the "please don't fill up a feature spot with more playing of this game" camp. If Murder Island got stale, I can't imagine what watching an hour plus of this every week would do.

If I all I really wanted was the new campaign, is it worth the $20?

Dan was playing on an actual Nintendo though. Abby is playing on the NES classic
