Bold choice to not have the one person on the couch apparently experienced in presenting present the feature. Has Rorie watched other features other than Unprofessional Fridays and does he realise that the bit of having a totally unrelated conversation at the beginning is an anomaly, not the norm?

@roy42: Rorie is not a "presenter", he is a god-damned force of nature.

@brad So, I don't know anything about music, but I've always found myself more successful with the a_rival soundtrack. I think it's because the bass is heavier and makes it easier to stay on the beat. If you try again, give that a shot.

Edit: Separately..it looks like your sync may be off by a few dozen ms.

This game could do with some more time on this website and it's been a while since we had some truly Brad content. I'm down for this feature.

Why the hell does a game having equips, armor in particular, instantly increase my interest in a game by, like, 200%?

Did Diablo II break me?

Dude Brad the War Drum is one of the best items in the game. Outside of the obviously huge benefit of letting you just stand in place if need be, it doubles your next attack(assuming you attack instead of move) after one beat/use and triples it after five beats/uses.

@roy42: Your comment makes me wonder what you even like about this website. Don't bother answering, I probably don't want to know.

Good show. I have always thought that NecroDancer is pretty meh, but it is more fun with the GB atmosphere.

@linkster7: oh. totally ruined. that show wasn't great to begin with, but changing the theme song was the last straw. I do have a soft spot for Scott Bakula.. grew up watching Quantum Leap and yeah.

Rorie and Ben were the perfect foil to the broken man with the headphones. Good stuff.

GO DOWN THE STAIRS, BRAD. If you wait for time to expire on the later levels, you get stuck in that tiny room with four enemies. One of those enemies is always a mini-boss, and you don't want to deal with a red or blue dragon in that situation. After Zone 1, it's best to just check the shop and go down the stairs. It's not worth the risk to explore and look for items the further you get.
