Midweek Multiplayer Madness: Friday the 13th

So a throwdown of sorts? Perhaps on a night near the end of the work week... oh it's on the tip of my tongue

What a DYNAMITE of a show!

@themindofdre: brad's my personal favorite duder, so yes?

Cool to see a new feature. Keep up the great work.

@themindofdre: He isn't exactly as energetic as most, but he's pretty entertaining in most features in my opinion. Probably like him best in Breaking Brad, because I need to see and hear Brad cuss up a storm.

I actually really love Rorie

"I think Dead Space 3 is the best Dead Space game"

People have gone to wars for less, Rorie

This is Not TNT

This was cool, would be great to see more often, doesn't have to be the same game.

Enjoyed having TNT back but i agree with others that Ben just doesn't run a stream well enough.. he's fine as an extra with another one of the guys but he doesn't have the correct humor or understanding on how to entertain an audience that the others have. Abby on the other hand instantly was able to do that and she's been great.

Also Ben please remember you're streaming a game so throwing the mouse around constantly isn't pleasant to watch.. still hoping he'll settle in better soon..

Man, it's a shame this game has so much jank. For me that makes the price range too high. Too bad, because this would be perfect for my online gaming group.

Also looking good Ben! That's a nice shirt. For Midweek Multiplayer Madness (That's Definitely Never Been Done Before TM) I recommend Overcooked. Though you guys might have played that before, I don't remember exactly.

It's great to see Rorie back, saying mad Rorie things.

Nice to have a Thursday feature again. And what better way to start it with Friday The 13th and all its bugs.

@themindofdre: Call me crazy but I like Brad. I still believe the issue at GBW is they need someone with some energy. GBE is putting out amazing content. Abby fits in perfectly with the guys. Brad and Jeff just need to find a new Dan but I would imagine they are done hiring.

I had fun with the hour and a half I played of this game, before getting a refund on steam. If it was like 25, or even 20 bucks, cheaper this would be a great little game to pick up. Unfortunately, I just couldn't see myself getting 40 dollars enjoyment out of it though. I was hoping it'd be discounted for the steam summer sale going on right now, but unfortunately it's still full price.

This game looks super fun but too janky for me. What a shame.

Y'all should run a lobby for Tekken, Street Fighter, or whatever for this feature. I'd be up for that.

I wish Rorie's streams would be uploaded to the site. I always miss them.

I'm glad they gave this game another shot after the disastrous quick-look! I've put about 50 hours into this game and loved every minute of it (minus the hell that was launch week)

I'm pretty sure Giant Bomb Unarchived youtube channel uploaded his PUBG and Wildlands streams. Both are pretty funny.

@philipduck: what is "the correct humor" for running a stream? Maybe Ben isn't your taste but he cracks me up all the time.

Ben is the reason I extended my premium membership.

@philipduck: I thought I was just being overly critical, but yeah, that mouse thing is super not fun to watch.

***

I really hate how Jason can teleport right in front of you, they should have made it so Jason couldn't be in their line of sight. I think another game did this... maybe left for dead.

It's a shame Ben killed Rorie at the end with that horrifying hair tickling move, but aside from that, this was a pretty good start for this entirely new community based show to be known as Emineminem.

If Ben had joined forces with the other Ben, it would've been a Ben pack.

@philipduck: Totally disagree about Ben's ability to run a stream but his weekend-party-drunk mouse spinning is...woof.

Is this a tall joke?

Gotta extend to keep up with Ben.

@onkel: No Ryan Davis ?

Game looks awesome, hopefully the server issues get fixed more as it looks fun.

For those curious about the films, I found that Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives is probably one of the better recommended ones to new people to the series as it's more about Tommy & dealing with Jason than a more pointless story slasher film. Jason X is also a good one with the sci-fi setting & more of a dark comedy than horror but enjoyable.

For other films, Cabin in the Woods from Joss Whedon lately has been one of the better ones to recommend as the story makes it really entertaining. Also personally recommending Horror of Dracula from the Hammer films in the 1960s as it's just a really good story & group of actors.

And lastly for those too scared for many horror movies, try watching the behind the scenes stuff on dvds. Seeing how the illusions/fx are made & seeing the fun of cast/crew making the film disarms some of the scary in it.

Does Rorie have a concussion?

Rorie burying a pickaxe into my brain, and just twisting until everything goes crunch and splat.

As a millenial myself, I find Ben's humor to be eerily similar to mine. Which means it's great.

But for some constructive criticism, yeah, him constantly swiveling the camera was not fun to watch! Also, there were a couple of moments there where he was also constantly switching cameras from one player to another, making it hard to follow what was going on and missing out on some action too.

I'm 100% sure he'll just keep getting better hosting these streams as he gets more experience. Just wanted to mention a couple of things he could take into account for when he hosts another one, especially with these community multiplayer streams where he might be doing more spectating.

Fun stream though, and yes, gimme more Rorie.

@vibratingdonkey: I think we've hit the ceiling on what tall jokes can offer.

Love this! I'm early in the video still, but to you Matt (and I'm sure you've been told by now), the set up to Friday the 13th is that Jason, as a child, went to a summer camp. He drowned in the lake while camp counselors were goofing off, having sex, etc. So now his mom wants to kill them, at least in the first one, and in the others he's the killer. Not sure really what happens past the first one except they go to space at some point and a lot of people die.

Leave the mask on

So what's the process of getting on the friendslist?

@themindofdre: I love all the crew but Brad is my personal favorite so another vote for yes.

I love Ben, his voice, his humor, and the way he streams content. Fuck the naysayers and their shitty judgemental opinions that aren't constructive.

Matt Rorie! How dare you say Dead Space 3 is the best...that is literally insane.

Jk you can think what you want - but 1 and to a lesser extent 2 are incredible

They're on my personal Twitch channel so far. If I keep doing them and people want them on the site I can work on that, but for the moment they're pretty loose and just focused towards community people so I'm making it easy on myself by relying on Twitch to archive them!

@onemanarmyy said:

Came here to ask the exact same question.

Also, LOL at Rorie's Lucille Bluth shade at 39:10.

I already like Ben a whole bunch...but after that Hollywood Handbook shout out?! Oh wow.

@pressbtocouch: Desd Space 1 is amazing. Dead Space 3 gets way more flack than it deserves but it's definitely not the best. They're all great games in their own ways though - like Dead Space 3 never reaches the drastic lows of the Resident Evil series.

I think it'd be awesome if they were archived on the site, but I will totally go watch them on Twitch as well. Thanks.

Ben and Abby are working out pretty great.

"Damn now that's what I called getting murdered" indeed

I also suspect going to Murder Island changed Abby

Loved this.

Fuck the naysayers is really constructive and not at all shitty and judgmental response to people that have a different opinion than you about Ben, or any other GB staff, and their stream content.

...d-does this game have butt physics?

@passivespiral: Yes, but people are being shitty in their criticisms (theyre hung up on his fucking VOICE ffs, as if he can change how he sounds), and not even giving Ben a chance to improve himself as a host and presenter. Meanwhile Abby's perfect out of the gate for some reason. hmmm.,.
