@rorie I have the same neck popping thing! Every now and then my trachea feels like it pops out of place and I used to think the only way to put it back in would be to bite and look down. It was so painful. Found out I can just push it back with little discomfort. I also have trouble swallowing every now and then so maybe those two are connected? I always thought it was just mucous build up from nasal drip or something.

@ripelivejam: they’re almost half as good as GBEast these days! But Vinny and Abby are really impossible to contend with. This week had a decent lineup of games and a really great burn from Jason to Rorie.

I believe you guys were thinking of Tiny Metal for the Advance Wars-style game at PAX last month.

Has anyone noticed how Ben constantly stares at the studio monitor? It drives me nuts. I noticed Dan does this all the time too, and I'm not sure why but it's extremely distracting to me.

Not sure why this was the video that made me comment on this but it's something that I can't unsee.

They were planning to stream some N64 games earlier but couldn't get the audio working. They talk about it in the "Video Games: A Live Stream From Your Friends @ Giant Bomb" video.

@unastrike you are the glue holding together the gears of Giant Bomb! (meant as a huge compliment and I could barely ever resist making a Simpsons quote in the most tenuous of circumstances)

Cheat in games if you want to. If some aspect of it is really bothering you but you really want to experience the rest of the game don't be shamed into pushing yourself through it "the way it was meant to be played."

Personally, I played through all of MGS 5 with just 1 cheat. I locked suppressor durability to full. I didn't find any joy in suppressors wearing out. Maybe some people like the challenge of having a very limited amount of silent shots, but that is not a challenge I wanted at all in that game.

The guys here imply that you shouldn't play with cheats until you finished the game or just to get past the last grindy part. That's probably important for them specifically because they need to talk publicly about the quality of games and all the mechanics, but for most people it doesn't really matter if you've skipped the bullshit parts of a video game.

Great stream. I can't believe I missed their first peak at Fire Emblem Warriors: I sort of assumed Dan would be checking it out since I think he loves the Fire Emblem games - maybe he'll be too busy with Mario or one of the other big games coming out in the next week.

Anyway... Project Rainfall was for the western (specifically US) localisation/release of Xenoblade Chronicles (not Xenosaga), The Last Story and Pandora's Tower. It doesn't matter much as it was just an off-topic thought about the name of Megaton Rainfall, but it still bugged me enough I had to comment on it.

Guys in chat commenting about volume being too loud had just gotten used to the really low volume, it's no doubt better after the bump up because it brings it closer to everything else I have on the computer like games, Youtube and my media player.

The Talos principle section made me want to jab my eyes out with a rusty spoon. Not out of any dislike to the game or the crew, that's just the way it goes when you know how to solve the puzzle but cannot convey it to the person doing it.

@johnymyko: I would even watch a dedicated show that is just Jeff with a cheat engine once a month or something breaking a hot new game.
