Did Brad/Dan watch that excellent video which explained to them how the 'Trespassing' mechanic works and that you aren't screwed if you are caught?

Today I learned two things: Dan doesn't know what a skirt is, and Brad doesn't know how to play Hitman.

Jeff is a better coach then Dan.. He's calling out mini-map locations, reminding Brad of the story points, etc. C-BO Straight Killer!!!

@mistah_t Jeff is a secret backseat gamer, and if you watch his body language he is using all his willpower to not tell Brad exactly what to do using his gamer intuition. I love his reactions - if you see his hand cover his mouth that's his tell.

That last game reminds me of something else.

Here's the chat if you wanna look at it.

Man, I broke a few joysticks doing the 'shank' motion in Spy Vs. Spy; such a great game. Being able to see the other player is an important part of the game, imo: on the more complicated levels (with ladders) it's fun trying to memorize the generated map to outsmart one another..

....only to run into your own bucket of acid.

Man! I just climbed up the tower thing close to the firework barge, pulled out my sniper and shot the target in the face. I was actually pretty disappointed with how simple this ET was.

The MAD nude photos thing was some beautifully effortless trolling of the credulous Mr. Ryckert. Well done.

Jeff joking about Brad going to space.

The Beastcast joking about Space World returning.

Obscure hints that Brad is going off to a secret Space World/NX Reveal!?!!!!

Tell me I'm making a logical jump!

...I'm prolly making a logical jump.

For real tho, have a good trip, Brad!

Dan's right about the morning star thing. At least if any RPG I've ever played is correct. A flail is the weapon with the chain.

I'd be super interested to see if Nintendo does anything about BoxMaker.

They really only seem to give a shit about unauthorized products that use their characters.

You'd think Helmut would hire better protection after being jumped by the same hitman like 5 times.

Seeing the same levels being played on Hitman over and over cements how i feel about it, so far i've only played up to Sapienza, i tried a couple unique targets but replaying the same levels shortly after i'd already played them is too much for me.
I love Hitman as a game to play all the way through, then maybe replay the game a few years later, but these episodes only connected by the smallest of a thread arn't holding my attention, and the age old mechanics arn't enough to warrant instant replay.
I got 30 hours out of Ground Zeroes so i get it, i get replaying and understanding every little thing about short content, but that was fresh and new in every single way.

I remember getting this Bicycle http://www.genesisbikes.co.uk/img/uploads/images/blog-images/eq%20disc%202015.jpg for £2000, it was around £2800 but I saw it on sale and had to get it. Love the look of the Titanium frame.......... so much i fact I just mounted it on my wall and never used it lol. I think I went out on it once and it got a small scratch from a stone..... like no thanx, this work of art is staying on my wall.

So bored of the maps in Hitman, they're all the same! I want new stuff like an F1 Race Weekend paddock or E3 or Brazil Carnival.

Good old Pavloda decryption on the Commodore 64 - those flashing lines bring back memories.

Pavloda was used on all Melbourne House cassette games and was also licensed out to many other C64 developers. It allowed a game that would take 15+ minutes to load from tape to be run at hard disk speeds.

Morning star is the spiky ball part that can be on a mace or flail. I don't think a lack of knowledge on medieval weaponry is particularly egregious. However Lady pants with one big leg....

Give me a high production value Mount and Blade over this For Honour game please!

The Hitman content is getting ultra repetitive. It's the same maps with the same objective so I'm not sure it'll get better. I think there should be more restrictions on a mission to improve creativity. The missions should start you in location, choose your gear to stop the cheap tricks over and over. It's cool you get efficient by learning the maps but being efficient seems to remove the fun.

Dalia said she was on the 2nd floor because in europe (and some other places maybe) we call what americans would call 'first floor' the ground floor and then above that it goes 1st, 2nd etc

I reckon For Honor looks pretty sweet. It's like Jedi Knight but not quite as cool.

Don't pour any oil down any drain, bottle it and deliver it to you're local recycling or garbage center/place.
Don't throw away batteries in the regular trash! Bring it to any electronic shop or your local garbage place!
