I Love Mondays - 08/20/2012

So.... what you all are saying is after the Olympics stuff, Patrick is going to play through ALL the Jurassic Park games. Nothing stops the Endurance Run?

Am I the only one who misses the original format of I Love Mondays?

I miss the organization and not having to turn my speakers to their loudest setting in order to hear everything. If we're not going to be getting the green-screen ILM's, some kind of brief write-up with an organized list would do wonders to not annoy me. Since, you know, Giant Bomb's all about me.

What did Counterstrike do to the GB crew to make them hate it so. Its THE BEST competitive FPS experience.

The community around it was LoL before LoL. If you play and do anything wrong, you get bitched at endlessly.

I am pleased at hearing about a possible Brad Muir visit; any excuse to get him into the office is a good one.

And I want that Chie figurine, but not enough to spend crazy money on it. A quick amazon search shows Chie at ~70$, and she's the cheapest one. Mitsuru will run you 200 dollars.

Oh how I wish I were an eccentric millionaire.

Welcome back Patrick! Just please don't waste an hour of the bombcast talking about what you did while you were away. The podcast is barley about video games already.

Also can't wait to see the Tested guys later this week!

Really glad to see Patrick back =)

But man, what's with all the Counter Strike hate? It's a really well made, fun game. If they aren't good at it, that's fine; but that's no reason to be derisive about the game itself and calling it just "acceptable" and wanting to avoid it =/

My membership ends on the 30th and Patrick just got a whole shitload of Jurassic Park games. I guess that means you're getting my money again.

Patrick's back! <3

Also, I fully support a SimGolf quick look. Anything to add pressure for a digital release...

hah barley. so tasty

After having played CS since beta 4, CS Source since beta, and now CS:GO in beta I can say they are all fine shooters. CS:GO is definitely the more friendly to new people, but that's not a bad thing. Nothing wrong with the game at all.

PROTIP: NEVER EVER IMAGE SEARCH SLING BALL WITH SAFE SEARCH OFF. EVER. EVVVVER.

Welcome back Patrick! Well if nothing else is going on this week the crew could always do something more with that Neverdead disc that Brad kept toying with on camera.

edit-wouldn't mind seeing more of Deep Black, put it up on steam wishlist & still curious about that game.

have a feeling this week's podcast is gonna be full of Patrick's honeymoon stories.

I hope so. I want to hear everything about his shark swimming adventures.

Oh darn, no FFVII QL planned? :'(

I heard JoJo and saw Patrick Klepek , week is already off to a good start!

Really surprising Fall of Cybertron is not what they are doing for TNT

@Ryan yeah nice Fez ringtone

That's a pretty baller stack of Jurassic Park games.

Since first I saw that drawing of the GB guys that is now behind Ryan, I always thought Ryan reminded me of someone and now I know who, HE LOOKS LIKE FUCKING JOHNATHAN FRAKES ON THERE! WHAT THE SHIT!?!?

What does Chie action figure think of Mondays?

ZOMBO.COM

Drew. DCS Combined Arms. I will say this every week until I see it on the site.

Chie Figma <3 !

glad patrick is back!

I can't believe Jurassic Park has that many games, wow

Jurassic Park: Trespasser is in dire need of Giantbomb coverage.

Don't do more quicklooks of Iron Brigade, it's a mediocre game from June 2011 and it's been beaten to death already. Keep it for TNTs.

I missed Patrick. Glad to see him back!

-anime girl figurines
-persona 3 artbook
-reviewed and enjoyed a visual novel
 
 jeff, you are the anime-editor.
 
And congrats to the return of Kleptok.

I miss as well.

Apparently not (not that it was likely you'd be the ONLY one on this site that thinks that), but I wish you were. This new format is the best they've ever had.

I missed Patrick so much <3

The fuck. Where is The Last Story?

How and why Jeff and Ryan hate counter-strike goes back for at least 10 years. Simply put they always hated the round-based format and the patience required to get good enough to play it online. Also the community was and probably still is an abrasive asshole to any and all new players.

I'm pretty excited to see everything they talked about except Transformers because *snores*. Otherwise it looks like an action packed week!

You are not paying to access the harder difficulties in TF2 MvM, you're paying to use their official servers. You also don't use up the ticket if your team fails to complete the mission.

10:41 - Thank you Donny.

The fuck. Where is The Last Story?

Welcome back Tricky.

@wutaiSTYLE: It'll show up and get promptly dismissed during GOTY discussions.

TF2 TNT. =/

I like the new format, you're clearly wrong here - this is the best I Love Mondays ever:

Oh man... The Chie figurine is pretty awesome.

I coincidentally started playing Trespasser for the first time a few days ago... and I love it! That game is so far ahead of it's time, I think it might still be ahead of our time.

It runs perfectly on Win7 too. Man, I wish they would do some kind of QL Throwback to show off how unique and weird it is. Totally dinosaurs.

I haven't seen any of the GB guys interact with the Comic Vine guys ever since they've moved into the new office

Aw, Sara's still sick. Working while sick is never fun.

So pumped for the Deep Black Endurance Run this week!
