Lmao that one Jets player on the first TD that just watches his teammate tackle without helping and then falling over
Talk about disrespect. Also looks like the Browns are even rightfully rated above the Jets. We did it
I'm dying the disrespect is real. Not undeserved though

Exquisite Corps is Masterpiece Theater & Dan is a true showman. As someone who doesn't know a lot about the XCOM games besides their reputation for brutal stakes, I was eagerly anticipating watching Dan crash & burn. If this series is over in 2 more episodes or so, I hope they just restart & give it at least one more "run".

Don't worry, I'll vouch for them.
Dan's first mission went exactly like I expected it to. His segments are going to be a chore to watch.

I actually had hope that he would not just try and preserve himself at all costs because he talked a big game about playing the game before.

Alas, it was not to be.
 
Just watched episode 9 of The Return and really really liked it. Don't really have anything to say for it besides that much.

Episode 9 and 10 are both fantastic. 10 especially has many great moments.

Aw man, if only Jeff was there. Nevertheless, a fun QL.
Just canceled my 1080 order and got a 1080 ti. I'm dumb as bricks y'all.
Atleast you managed to fix your mistake.
 

Finished Tacoma yesterday and it was fine. I think I like Gone Home more due to how much warmer and personal the overall experience is, not to mention it toys with your expectations and subverts them in a way that you don't fully see coming. In Tacoma though, it tells a clean cut sci-fi story that I felt was kind of predictable but the strongest parts of it are the crew and the execution of how you somewhat get to know this crew.

Part of the reason why Tacoma feels colder is that you're essentially an outsider and a "fly on the wall" of sorts as you get to listen into conversations but it's not only just that, the execution with the AR aspect of the game is very well done as you get to see their actions unfold infront of you. You rewind, fast forward, pause and get to explore hidden information attached within the AR data you're uncovering about the crew at certain points in time while exploring the station. Much like Gone Home it's a short game so, it felt like a nice breeze and I can't really say anything more about it other than it tells a generally good sci-fi story and it has beautiful, strong A E S T H E T I C S.

Don't get this on Xbox One though like I did. The Performance was all over the place and the game crashed on me like 4-5 times during my total playtime with it.
11 is even better
YES. The
second half with the Mitchum brothers
is fucking amazing.
 
Dan didn't try very hard to get Vinny a SNES classic. He looked for a quantity option and then gave up instead of doing the order process a second time.
 
I normally find Dan's troll antics funny, but his first run at Exquisite Corps was frustrating and simply not fun.

I feel that the promise of EC is to watch the guys working towards the same goal, despite stumbling all over each others toes. This was Dan actively working against the interests of the group just to keep his digital mini-me alive, which is compounded by the very real possibility that the run will quickly turn into a death spiral due to poor play early in the game.
