Romination

a Heavy Metal Parking Lot for the modern day

watching this in 2024 and Dan just hacking up a lung everywhere is activating my "fight or flight"

Interesting to watch over 10 years later because it really does feel like Brad WANTS to believe! He wants it so bad! He even says "give me that HDR" at some point when these consoles didn't do that until the half-step upgrades! And I think now he's a big critic of this generation and how underpowered it was but man did he HOPE

INSANE to watch Jeff play this after years of having not touched it, when Minotti's been playing it for weeks and still doesn't seem like he's learned a single thing about it

If anyone remembers, all these years later, what the "Rampage" thing was referring to in the Memory Castle game, I'd appreciate it. It seems so familiar, and yet, I can't summon it up from MY memory palace!

hellbilly deluxe great album all these years later

Interesting for Jeff to have gone from "I really like it" re: the Zen pinball experience to his more modern stance about them. I think just, with enough time, enough tables, and actual competition at one point in the Pinball Arcade, it made Zen's flaws a little more seeable, where at the time it was like, well who else is doing this?

@fanaticalmilk: just fyi niki goes by they/them

(this part isn't in response to you) the big thing they lost when they fired Jess was that she was apparently the only person who could read what was being said on-screen to help in moments like this episode's "why do i keep failing this chase"

I know the joke was always that Brad is bad at games but you know what I think here we have the proof that he's the best there ever was.
