I think he was under the impression they were just uploading reactions during the video, rather than post-video discussion.
Bosman's reaction to that entire moment was incredible
I love Damiani but the complaint about Labo is just... what?
Kyle legitimately explained to him why he shouldn't bring up the "but what about other things" argument and he even admitted in the episode that his response was basically "I don't care."
I mean, you can't just brush that off. They are literally unrelated. The existence of Labo has absolutely nothing to do with Netflix or Virtual Console or anything.
It's an inventive and cool idea that is mainly meant for kids. No reason to nitpick at it.

I think this mentality is stemming from "Nintendo still needs all the monies since it's at 3rd place" despite the fact that it just broke a country's record. I can see this mentality believing that "SUPER HD GRAPHICS AND MODERN ONLINE INFRASTRUCTURE" is the key thing to stay relevant despite the fact that people are going nuts over playing *good enough* HD games on the go. The assumption and expectation of the current console gaming audience despite the Switch's success might be an indication the console consumer isn't like the blue ocean enthusiasts thinks it is.

Yes imo. Still in a jolly mood after that amazing near 8 hour GOTY stream.
I thought about E3 but isn't technically spread over two weeks? With most being on the weekend, and Nintendo as well as impressions early on in the following week.
Hmm the live podcast and frame trap is making me reconsider. It's definitely been one of the best for me, though.
Yeah, just got to that, I don't understand at all.
Where's Netflix? With Netflix. Where's save backup? Within the department working on the OS. Where's VC? Probably with NERD or business people wondering how best to roll it out. Seems like a totally bizarre argument.
If it's ready to go, release it, don't just shove it in a vault.
If we count the week as last Tuesday to this upcoming Tuesday then there's a decent chance of Huber's reactions to the Resi 2 Remake reveal aswell.

First stream January 28, should be a good one.

The biggest twist of the night. His vision somehow got worse than Ben's?
They both need to go!
I'm glad it'll be on Sundays. Most ben streams are when I'm at work so this is great.
Welcome back!
SNK Heroines discussion grinds my gears. SNK fighters are not full fledged fighters now? And what about Blazblue Cross Tag Battle and Pokken DX, Damiani?
DBFZ is not on Switch because of development pipelines and Switch was not a sure bet. Plus, most of the fighter crowd is on PS4. Plus, who knows if ASW could do their Unreal magic at 60 FPS on any console (or at least, in so many different specs at once). SF V is an exclusive. Marvel Infinite, really? That would be good? Dissidia? That is being sent to die, c'mon. Why not complain FFXIV and XV aren't announced to Switch yet, or Need for Speed and The Crew 2? Where are the full fledged RPGs or racing games for Switch? (Or CoDWWII, AC:O, etc etc)
I can understand being annoyed at Heroines seeming more like a spin off that is not meant taken seriously than a mainline game from a flagship franchise, but acting like that means the next KOF won't come for Switch is just... not related at all.
With that said though... It's disappointing this is not just SNK Gal Fighters 2. Gal Fighters is a seriously fun NGP game, with similar vibes to Pocket Fighter.
And btw, a special move has specific properties, it's not just a flashy move... unless you think Jin in Marvel vs Capcom 1 only has special moves.
(the youtube comments on KOF XIV are even worse)
Also, having heard the #94 podcast just before #95, Jones' whataboutism about the EA matchmaking thingmajing is just... disconcerting. "You can't prove it and I wouldn't notice it, so..." and now "Actually, I hate it, but I was lukewarm because what can you do? It's happening anyway". Reeeeaaaally?

Nobody as saying SNK fighters aren't fully fledged, but the descriptions used do make Heroines sound cut down in terms of systems. If they were porting KOF XIV, it wouldn't be the same complaints.
Of course it doesn't mean KOF isn't coming, but at the same time, it's not confirmed to be coming yet.

Only watching the awards now, but did they really need to be that meanspirited towards Halo Wars 2?
Allies saying they'd rather have a non-strategy game be nominated than have Halo Wars 2 get a nomination. It just smacks of serious disrespect towards the people at Creative Assembly who worked on that game. It was completely unnecessary, and sticks out like a sore thumb. No discussion on its merits, just dismissal and derision.

Opposite for me lol, at least for these Weekly Hunts. Lucky enough I have time off on the 28th so I can catch the debut.
Hopefully this schedule means Ben might stream Dragon Ball Dojo on release day if he is not strapping in for a private Monster Hunter marathon instead.
I thought he meant it wasn't fully fledged because it looks like it has baby's first fighting game mechanics, for lack of a better term.
Then the blatant fanservice waifu cast cheapens it's appeal in that way too.
Thanks! I have a lot of stuff to catch up on haha
I have been following gaming still but not quite as much as I used to though.
Have you played them before?
I love Suikoden 2. It's amazing and Suikoden 1 really takes a great game and makes it better
Exactly. And they're flushed out so well in 2. It's why I was adamant in telling Ben to play 1 first. I'm glad he's doing it
I really should replay 5 sometime on emulation. I beat it when it came out but I'm not sure I could replay it with those loading times. But a strong last entry in the series.
Eeeehhhh, 5 was a good game but it felt like it was made using the blueprint from 2 but lacking the heart, pacing and amazing cast of characters that made 2 so special. 2's by far and away the best in the series IMO and my favourite RPG of all time.
I also think you need a lot more >>>>>>'s between Tierkreis and 4. Tierkreis isn't a good Suikoden but it was still playable, unlike the mess that was Suikoden IV.
Aside from the PSP one that was never localised, the only Suikoden I haven't played is 3, cause it never came out here originally and by the time the PS2 Classics release came out here, I wanted to wait and see if they released it on PS4 too (and then they didn't and it's like "well maybe one day...? lol).
There's not many games I prefer watching than playing but Monster Hunter falls into that category. I like the whole idea of the game but there's something about the way it plays that just hasn't ever clicked with me. Even with the PS4 beta for World I felt a little cold towards it.
I'm glad they're going through with the weekly hunts.

Did you play Persona 5? Nier Automata? If not, and if feasible, I recommend those.
Yep! I played both! Nier is my favorite series (weird I can say that now) hence my avatar.
I probably stopped playing around August, so for a good 5-6 months now
I really need to play more of this series. I actually really enjoyed Tierkries (other than all the dialogue sounding like it was spoken at 1.5x speed), it's the only one I've played.
It's so crazy there have been more EZA Podcasts than GT Times- I remember listening to the new episodes and watching Dumb Game Monday back when I was working night shifts lol
I'm really glad they're all together and making such great stuff every week.
