@brad plz

Look at the minimap to see the NPCs - white dots will be suspicious of you, grey dots are fine but they will react if you murder someone next to them. :D

Hulk Hogan is not a "bad person." Come off that fucking shit.

Wow. I just realized that Jason and Drew alternate Bombcast and UPF duties...when Drew is on the Bombcast, Jason is on UPF or vice versa!

Hitman is the second best Man in this video, thanks to Jason's Mer-Man glass.

Every time I see Hitman I get a step closer to buying it. But I've always had a problem with 'episodic' games and not going back if I buy them before the whole thing is out.

Drunk Rorie must be hilarious.

Paul Bearer was a national treasure.

I have just realized that Liu Kang may have been based off of Ricky "The Dragon" Steamboat.

To people saying that gun>scissors: Wouldn't scissors be a better option in Brad's scenario since he was about to die and the scissors was a guaranteed kill if locked onto the head (Which Brad was able to, but I guess he didn't throw the scissors fast enough)

WWE All Stars is so good and its a damn shame it'll never get a sequel. If hey had put more modes into the game it would have been the best wrestling game of all time.

@benmo316: Punk co-writes one of the Thor books.

Also it was Owen Hart that botched the piledriver that broke Stone Cold's neck. Bret Hart never injured anyone legit in his 20 plus year career, something he's VERY proud of. :)

I really wish Jason had played one of the fantasy video packages they did for that game. IMO the Punk vs. Stone Cold one is the best one among the 15? or so they made for the game.

Also Drew McIntyre is currently the TNA World Champion. B/C of TNA's bad financial situation, their talent are allowed to work independent leagues, as long as those leagues have ZERO TV presence.

@stinger061: Same thing has happened with customers at my GS, although a lot of that is b/c people in STL lack home broadband access and also have a distrust of digital only games. Tons of people go into a store like GameStop and take the worker's word on what's going on as God.

Square Enix said Hitman is supposed to get a retail release in January 2017, which will be just after or just as the final map releases.

Dow2 and Mech Commander are probably two of my favorite games of all time, let alone favorite rts'. And it is because of their no-base all tactics gameplay design with the heavy focus on every individual unit being super important.

I really wish so many supposed rts fans would stop snubbing their noses and pushing up their glasses over such games. Its no wonder the genre died so hard when the most common attitude is basically no-base build = no buy. And its fucking moronic given how damn fun DoW2 is especially for this very reason.

Wow, I need to play Hitman. I was kinda put off by the negative user reviews on Steam but I've come to realise those are the insane super fans and actually if you go into it without their grandiose expectations it's actually probably super cool to play.

I'm an insane super fan, and the game is fucking awesome. Go buy it.

It's kind of crazy when you consider how many of the wrestlers in WWE All Stars have passed away.

Steam user reviews are about a step from Metacritic's in terms of their uselessness. They're too easy to brigade because Valve doesn't care one iota about them.

Most the negative reviews are because of how the game is FPS wise, and apparently broken on AMD cards.

Really enjoyed the Hitman and the Wrestling....and of course the boozing. Though I do wonder if Dan has it anywhere in himself to restrain the thoughts from his brain that he shouts. Does Dan have the ability to actively filter?

I love C&C but I'm just going to pretend I never watched that little bit right there. I can't handle dumping more free time into another game.

Brad used the scissors instead of a gun because he only had only shot once he came out of cover. A gun would less likely be a one-hit kill.

Snuka was indicted and arrested in September 2015 on third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter charges, in relation to the May 1983 death of his girlfriend, Nancy Argentino. He pleaded not guilty, but was ultimately found unfit to stand trial in June 2016.

Isn't it supposed to be ' Brad's doing something he shouldn't ' ? instead of 'Brad's up to...'

I'm just asking the important questions.

"Up to something" is a Ryckert-ism. Both Dan and Paul say it, and apparently it comes from Paul's father. "Someone's doing something they shouldn't" is a line from the Hitman video. Both are equally dumb and great, I think.
