Though seriously, with Dan and jason in and Vinny being able with Alex to do their own stuff, there is a shit-ton of free content recently.
Ok sure. I just assumed he was talking about streams other than TNTs.
Most TNTs were pretty bad though, but that's not the point here.

Considering they're one of the most requested features, it was obvious they'd make them subscription-only.

I didn't really expect Dan and drew to be my favourite combo but hey, they are pretty great together.
Rorie can be irritating sometimes - I think he knows that - but he always contributes well.

I love rorie on the podcast. I burst out laughing when he brought up the concept of having three eye being useless from an evolutionary standpoint.
Even when he doesn't mean he makes funny stuff happens.

Premium subs are how they survive as they exist. They're putting out awesome premium content. I have no problem with paying for it.
I think YouTube does that job perfectly at the moment. I was wondering what Unprofessional Fridays were like or some of their other premium streams before I got a subscription, and after watching some of the YouTube clips of highlights, it convinced me to go and get a subscription. It would be great, like an earlier poster said, if free users can have a limited time or limited number of video per series to also gauge their interest.

Dear Giant Bombcast

It would be great if Giant Bomb themselves made informercials proclaiming the benefits of premium. Like they did with the app and GIANT BOMB DOT COM!.

I probably watch more of their premium content than anything else at this point. It's definitely worth it for me.

I think Jeff's disgust at WWE's shameless whoring of their subscription service might be a good indication that they're not likely to start pushing subs on people anytime soon.
Heh. There's a difference between mentioning it every other sentence, and making some promotional videos and similar stuff

That's what Big Live Live Show Live is, they didn't do one last year for obvious reasons.
yea, unexpected. Drew seems to loosen up more with Dan.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I've played pretty much ever Battlefield and I can tell you: No
Haha. But I have to admit, the MGS control schemes are a bit convoluted for the new.

I played the Vita version of MGS a year or so ago (never played a MGS game before) and really liked it EXCEPT for the hilariously AWEFUL german voice acting that really did it's best to make every singly scene unintentionally hilarious.
God, it's so bad it's probably worth experiencing.

There's no way they'll be able to have Drew encounter the memory card Psycho Mantis trick will they, simply because of the way the digital memory cards work?
Such a cool moment. Shame he'll miss it.
Although I will be curious to see how they handle that fight. Dan sets up a camera on Drew without him realizing it so we can watch him juggle controllers?

My dumb ass actually beat Mantis without changing the port the first time I played the game. I didn't have internet back then, I didn't know any better. I had to hold the controller upside down, but I did it.
Campbell even explicitly mentions controller port 2 at one point, but I only had one controller. I thought he meant if I had a second one I could use that.

Since they are playing on a PS3, it won't involve any juggling, just pressing the PS button and so on... would've been cool though!

This Metal Gear video is great. Video spoilers:
Drew being flustered while alerting the whole facility, and then shooting all his bullets, is hilarious. Made even better by Dan's maniacal laughter in the background.

Dan and I share a similar love of harmless schadenfreude, it seems.

good thing about starting at MGS1 (and thats assuming that they go all in on this) is that once drew wraps his head around how MGS1 controls, he's set for MGS2 & 3.
Haven't seen the video: do they mention whether they're going to play past MGS1?

Dan's giving out a bit too much information, I think.

Pretty good so far. He's gotten buttons confused a few times, but he doesn't seem to be struggling with the game.
Couldn't you replicate the memory card trick simply by inserting the original games into the PS3, making a save with them and then using the memory card manager on the PS3 to import those saves back into the MGS virtual memory card?
Dan should do that behind the scenes just to make that entire encounter more memorable when the time comes.
I just put it in and oh nooo, I hadn't thought about not being able to switch to English. Goddamnit, lol. The voices are awful.

SOTN and Suikoden are both on the PSN store so that shouldn't be much of an issue.
He was doing the same thing during the demo disc video. Dude needs to chill and let drew discover the madness on his own.

He couldn't find the H button though.
