Murder Island: The Assassination of Murder Island by the Cowards Giant Bomb

I think there's a reported bug that the timeline previews don't match up with the actual timeline position, if you look at the preview and compare it to the actual feed later in the video when they had switched over to gameplay, it doesn't match up there either. At 14:32 they're on the menu screen in the actual video, but the thumbnail shows them at the training grounds.

Always feel like i'm missing out on the good stuff watching Dan play. All the fun stuff came after he'd die and we get to watch from someone else's perspective.

Vinny getting sniped trying to steal that second Dacia and Brad getting chased made it all worthwhile though.

@powerone_keg: one of the best movies i have ever seen. best headline and deck that has ever been on a GB video.

It's one of my worst habits in any FPS I play.

He was muted at the beginning and it was still happening from what I understand.

Is there a way to make a build of the game where Dan can run around picking up stuff forever and he wouldn't run in to anyone? I think he'd prefer that.

Its called Fallout 4

Speaking of Fire Pro Wrestling, I just downloaded 200 custom wrestlers. Is that too much?

We for sure need to follow someone else's stream next time...watching Dan is infuriating

Well put :D !

Dan is definitely the worst at this but everyone could use improvement. In a tactical team game like this knowing how to communicate effectively and fast can give your team a major advantage.

Still looking forward to these every time :)

I do agree that it's more fun to watch when the person streaming is participating in the game.

Oh I see, I misunderstood what yasta meant (was thinking of the "Coming Up On Giant Bomb" preview picture). But yeah, I'd assume it's just misposition like that and not actually showing the unrecorded part.

I love these streams but man they really need to figure out what that noise is coming through the microphone. Sounds like someone moving their mouse. I thought it was Brad but he wasn't playing in the beginning and it was still there.

Yeah watching dan casually loot for things he does not need while his friends are being murdered a few feet away is pretty annoying, i want to see the next episode from alexs perspective.

Amazing.

Holy fuck.....please let anyone else be camera man.

I really love these streams. It's always hilarious and makes me laugh.

Man, Fire Pro looks really good.

I also love to watch Giant Bomb murder and get murdered.

Dan continuing to loot while others are getting shot, and not alerting them to things they might need is pretty annoying.

But to me the way bigger problem is how they (not just Dan) still have no ability or desire to watch each other's backs during firefights. Instead of spinning around in circles out in the open trying to find the shooter, or going off on your own to flank someone you can't even see, go and protect your teammate so they have a chance to retreat safely or retaliate. And if they start taking fire again you'll be able to see clearly where the shots are coming from.

Don't wait until somebody goes down to do something. That's already way too late, and you're only adding to the problem by giving away your position.

FIRE PRO IS RUNNING WILD ON MURDER ISLAND.

Someone at Giant Bomb has amazing taste in movies. "The Assassination..." is one of the most criminally underrated movies of all time.

100% this!!

People talk a lot of mess about Dan but I find Brad way worse. We just don't see it because Dan is the one streaming. At least Dan gets kills, Brad is often off on his own somewhere not saying anything and not contributing to fights until he's the last man standing and then he runs.

I don't think any of them are good at team dynamics, to be honest, but Brad and Dan are definitely the worst. If they truly want that chicken dinner they are going to have to work that stuff out. If this is just a content filler than fair enough, keep doing you.

I wish we could get a multicast with different streams from each player. Or one person in control room able to screenshare any player. I feel like we miss out on a lot by only having access to 1 person's screen. I understand this may be difficult technically but it would be so worth it.

What the hell was the constant bumping noise during this whole stream? Like someone finger drumming or tapping their foot out of time, or hitting the mic? Did none of the guys notice it?

You missed some of the best stuff if you switched off. There's a couple of points of Dan being horrendous, but there's also some absolute gold. I suppose you can wait for the Best Of video for this month because it'll all be in there.

One of my favourite bits basically summed up Dan's whole approach to this game. He runs off when the guy in the ruins gets a gun and abandons his teammates to die. Then Dan finds a gun, and loads it, and then -rather than turning around to go kill the people near him - looks at the floor and finds an extended mag for his gun. Then Dan stands in the open trying to equip his extended mag, surrounded by enemies that have just murdered his friends. Of course Dan gets shot in the back after a few seconds.

I have yet to see anything good come from burst fire. Though that doesnt seem to stop them from using it...

1:11:17

"flyeaglefly died from falling"

I guess some dreams aren't meant to come true...

Vinny doesn't call Dan the Hoover for nothing. He sucks that loot up.

That was a pretty damn good chase sequence.

Try using it up close, it does a massive amount of damage if all the bullets land on target, i got several kills that way.

At distance, it sucks.

I second this, he's a loot hog and a coward so 50% of the time you're staring at the floor and he doesn't engage enough.

Murder Island Pop Quiz:

At the beginning of a match, Spicy Dan finds two rifles, a shotgun and several pistols. The rest of the team comments on having not found much in the way of guns. Does Dan:

A.) Let everyone know he's found a cache of guns and share the location.

B.) Bring some guns to a teammate, knowing he can go back and get the others he left.

C.) Quietly swap guns around until he has the ones he likes, loot all the ammo and attachments then attempt to catch up with the rest of the team, weighted down by enough gear to equip the entire 10th Mountain Division, while everyone else charges ahead with twigs and frying pans.

D. ) C

If the next video is in fact from another perspective, please have a PiP of Dan in the corner titled LOOTCAM.

Hmm. This one was kind of a let down after last week's episode . . . until that amazing car chase!

It's cool, though. They can't all be wildly entertaining.

Dan, dont leave Georgopol, its one of the best loot spots on the map! You might want to check out a loot map (just google it) if thats of your interest.

Dan: I see a guy, NE at 75. Let's all rush over there and get him!

Everyone else: *heads over to the location*

Dan: *Ducks back into the building and loots while the rest of the team clears the spot*

Dan seriously you gotta stop trolling. Cuz I know that's all you're doing when you drop 90 rounds & AKM for a double barrel, and then it abundantly clear you were trolling us later when you switched off the M16 & then went back & threw the ammo out with it. I know you love to infuriate the GB Universe, but you're getting awfully close to breaking kayfabe with these kind of shenanigans

I'd really love to see Vinny's screen again or Alex's/Abby's. Dan's nonsensical "I do my own thing" shenanigans can get tiring after a while.

Man I hate to throw shade but come on Dan. You're making this wonderful series hard to watch. Love you but be a team player please

Is that the new map everyone's talking about? Kinda small, but I like the inclusion of a bear and Waluigi.

Great session guy's

Dan, you should really learn to loot with tab. Its way faster and easier to see what to actually loot.

@danlongman: Totally agree. The guys were fighting outside nd he's just collecting stuff in the next house over.

Dan's view is getting irritating. I hope they avoid bringing him in on this feature in the future.

Does Dan ever learn to hold shift while he's aiming down sights? Watching him try to snipe is a little painful, and it's a little surprising that he has 80 hours or whatever in.

DAN!
