It's back to Dan and Jan to perhaps FINISH Alpha Protocol and say goodbye to Michael Thorton.

We play the oddest game of telephone by passing the actual controller around to the whole staff and trying to get through Alpha Protocol!

I was gonna complain about how the Dan-Jan Connection weren't paying attention to the prompts but they made the perfect choices and I'm sorry for ever doubting them. Ha! XD

I love that they are constantly questioning why Mina hates them, not remembering that it might be because you were supposed to sneak around on a mission and instead committed a mass workplace shooting while she kept telling you to stop.

While I wholeheartedly appreciate the idea of this series, I have to say this was probably one of my least favorite GB series to date.

I'm biased, to be sure; I'm partial to this game despite the jank because I love Obsidian and I think they had some great ideas here, and not a bad story.

Dan and Jan held it down, but I felt like everyone else was miserable playing this game, and in my opinion it really reflected in the content and made me not want to watch. I couldn't get past Rorie's episode with Jeff.

It's no offense to the Bombers. I love you guys; all of you. And I'm thankful for this super creative idea. Next time, though, I'd prefer if everyone who participated in a feature like this knew about the game before at least enough to know if they'd enjoy or at least appreciate it. Cheers, and keep rocking, fellas!

I'm glad this wasn't the last episode because it feels like you guys were checked out for this one. I understand if you want to talk about stuff besides the game during the shooty gameplay, but you guys were barely paying attention the cutscenes and just straight up skipping dialogue. At that point, why even record this video if you don't want to do this feature? And that's putting aside the audio issues when you could have just punted this recording until you have them fixed. I've enjoyed following this series and would have been interested in what the followup would look like, but if this is a preview then just don't bother.

I'd already seen this episode. How? Did they upload it earlier, taken it down, then put it back up?

People who don't order steaks well done are just bragging about how they can survive foodborne illnesses. Also, every restaurant is in a rush and will never cook your meet to your request, so request a notch or two up.
