"There's money in this banana stand." I see what you did there.

Isn't there a whole thing about how basically all farmed banana trees are genetically identical, which means that when the shit finally goes down on a banana plantation, they're all completely fucked?

Not saying that's what Scoops meant, but there's a deeper lesson to this banana.

I'm more interested in what Amy Hennig does with Star Wars than what JJ Abrams does.

...I'm gonna guess you probably didn't like RDR that much either did you?

Also, how have I never seen that QL before??

Always nice to discover an old one, eh?

I feel like I end up getting into this conversation on here every 6 months or so, but basically I think Red Dead has an unfortunate number of issues but overall is quite good. And is even better if you skip the cutscenes...

I think a prison part may make a great segment in a GTA game. I think it might be to much for a stand alone game.

How come? I mean if Bully could make a boarding school environment work, why not a prison? They both share a very similar structure, least from how I'm envisioning it, and in fact it could probably make for some funny little commentary on how prison is sorta like going back to school.

In middle school, one day we jokingly compared how our school was run with how prisons are (what we knew of prisons)... and then started to get freaked out when we realized how similar they actually were.

I still like the girls summer camp idea Ryan had on one of the podcasts.

Bully: Wet Hot American Summer Edition. That I would play.

You mean like that beloved classic, the Prison Break game?

It's an interesting idea, but I think it would also be really hard to do well. I think it's telling that most games relegate prison to a brief segment rather than staying there the full 10-20 hours. Exceptions like Escape from Butcher Bay are so far removed from what we think of as 'real prison' that it doesn't exactly count. If it was set up as something like A Prophet, where you climb the ranks of the criminal organizations while incarcerated, that might be interesting? I dunno.

While R*'s habitual method of setting up missions as you doing whatever shitty thing people ask you to do, for no particular reason, might actually make more sense in prison, between that and what's sure to be wall-to-wall prison rape 'jokes' I can't say this is something I'd want to see them make. Granted, I thought the first Bully was pretty fucking shitty too, so maybe I'm not the target audience.

You've never heard of this movie, but it's pretty damn good.

Part of me wants to congratulate you. The other, cynical part of me figures that they have it set up so if someone's shots are generally below the waist, it shows it like that. Because dick jokes.

I would prefer to congratulate you.
