The second best Pyongyang Racer player in the world is Brandon Sheffield from Gamasutra? Huh.

That North Korean tour sim made me want to die. However watching Vinny play BIoforge was one of the greatest things I've seen. That is totally a game I would have played if I had known about it at the time. You should have saved it for a Random PC Game video instead of squandering it on a live stream. Everything else was sort of meh. Always be back flipping.

Gosh, thinking about it, Dota 2 has so many things that activates Jeff's "fuck this game" mode. Between waiting to spawn in, controlling single units, no base building, aversion to being told to "play right" in multiplayer games, and the requirement to communicate/work together with other players, this game is made to make Jeff go "bleh!". I'm sure I'm missing a few things but yeah, fascinating stuff.

Agreed. It's like the Left 4 Dead series. If you don't know how to play your infected or how to constantly communicate through voice everything then you'll get kicked out. I'll admit that my and the people I played with always kicked out randoms from the lobby that didn't have a mic. No mic no game for you in our lobby.

I love Dota2, and I knew it would be hard to watch them play it - but they didn't seem -too- cynical which was good, really surprised at how Jeff wasn't flipping shit in anger. However, that other team was way too agressive - had they intentionally lost, you never knoew, Jeff could end up really be into it.

Watching this again I didn't even notice that in DOTA 2 Patrick picked the hero made of pure dubstep. All hail mighty Kleptok.

The funniest part about how everyone rags on Brad for being bad at games is the fact that he is actually probably than the rest of the entire crew. He's the only one who actually has the drive and skill to become decent at competitive games.

I know they haven't played any dota game before, but their incompetence was stunningly hilarious. I don't even play dota and it was great to watch.

I wish the other Dota team had thrown a little bit (or a lot). Like, you know these guys have literally never played before and nobody besides Brad even bought items. Nobody even knew what the hell to do as far as laning or last hitting or fighting or anything. Getting completely crushed in their first game is not the best introduction or fuel to make them want to play again. Really hope that the rest of them (especially Jeff) give it another shot after Brad actually teaches them the basics of how to play. Sounded like they were at least interested, so that's good, I guess.

This 4 minute video did more to help me understand the basics of Dota than TNT or this video. That said, I sure did enjoy them going for it.

Might actually try out Dota 2 now.

Bioforge was so amazing, hope a random pc game(although not so random this time)/playthough is done at some point. Not really long enough to be considered an endurance run I imagine.

First Unprofessional Fridays I was able to catch live and watch all the way through aas well.

While Drew did go to North Korea, he saw the "good parts". He's completely wrong in saying that people of North Korea don't "see" blue jeans or anything like that because a large sector of the NK population pirates South Korean DVDs and other entertainment from across the globe. It's one of the biggest splurges that the people use their wages on. That form of piracy is a huge "problem" for the image that NK dictatorship tries to portray.

Bioforge was painful!

That other DOTA team must have cheated, becuase there is no way you could legitimately beat Giant Bombs team of DOTA experts.

Man, Bioforge. One of the most tragic things about modern gaming is that we've lost completely insane, experimental projects like that one because they are just too obtusely complex. Action combat with ctrl, shift, and numpad keys? That will never happen again. You can sorta see why the die-hard PC gamers have felt left in the dust.

As a person who knows nothing about MOBAs, I would have liked to watched either pieces of DOTA coverage, but the constant, incessant mouse clicking is fucking unbearable. That sound just gets to me; it's like someone drilling into my temple. I couldn't take more than 2 minutes of play before having to ditch the stream.

If Giant Bomb intends to do more with their multi-PC setup, they need to find some way to eliminate that noise, be it quieter mice or better/more isolated mic positioning. If more click heavy content is what I can expect to get in the future, I need to see if there's somewhat I can get a refund on my subscription, because it makes Giant Bomb unwatchable for me.

The clicking will continue until morale improves.

Seriously, though, you're gonna seek a refund because of some mouse clicks? I'm not sure I've ever seen a more fair-weather fan comment.

If you end up in Hell (not saying you will), it's gonna be just you and a bunch of guys playing Diablo.

I am actually relatively mad at the opposing team laughing and acting like they were something it was very annoying they had never played the game.I am an avid dota player and would really likethe game shown in a quick look explained rather than just random games that other users will learn nothing from, but other than that great stream.

Not that the clicking bothers me at all, but I think part of the problem was how quiet they were during that section of the show, its kinda why I got bored, could barely hear some of them without turning my volume way up. Jeff's volume was perfect though. They're new to that setup though so I'm sure they'll figure the right settings and stuff.
