It's been ruined since Dan left

Ruined's harsh, but it's not something I would jump at if someone asked me what good premium stuff they should watch
It was a lot better than the last one, at least

It isn't.

It's not up to the Dan helmed ones, but I enjoyed it. I've always said that Dan was the heart & soul of DD. Jeff was the mind, but I always thought it was crazy that people said DD needed Jeff more than Dan.
Otherwise though, it was a fun one.

Yeah, I am one of those people. I'm more into it for Jeff and his stories more than anything else. It's also however largely dependent on the content on the disc though which is why Dan/Drew being there works well because they gel extremely well with Jeff even if the content on the disc sucks. As long as Jeff is there, then I'm there. Really enjoyed this latest one though, that painkiller doc killed me.
I haven't made much more progress in Dishonored 2 but a thread about Death of the Outsider (that obviously I shouldn't have clicked) spoiled
and though I'm a little annoyed I only learned this right after resuming the game, I'm just amazed I hadn't heard or realized that before now.
I mean. I watched Death of the Outsider's trailer. I even bought it, though it hasn't arrived yet.
I'm not sure how I didn't realize this.

See to me the best demo derbies are still the ones before Jeff came in.
Fucking Playstation truck.
Diesel.
Pacman voice.
Shelley Duvall.
All such good moments.

Even Jeff needs people to bounce off of. Though that kind of feels like the GBWest story.

Also they need to do more playstation underground discs.
This Xbox demo one has fun moments but the playstation underground demos were meatier and were pretty much the 90's distilled for you to snort up your nose.

Demo Derby was alright.
They quitted all the demos and didn't finish them but that's me being nitpicky.
The humor is still there but it's lower quality.
Jeff is still giving it his all, Brad and Ben were alright support.

Eh whatever this demo derby was good. Definitely an improvement over the previous one. Not being Dan isn't really a critique. No one is Dan other than, well, Dan.

Which is the reality of how things are, it isn't terrible though. Not by a longshot just not something you could realistically change. On the other hand, West's style and approach is different than East and I dig that. It's also why you get chaotic fun when you mesh the two styles together.
e:
I was and still am never into the east vs west thing though

I actually liked the last one better, well other than all the BALLERS!!!! chants.
I want Rorie on a Demo Derby. Jeff, Rorie, and X person that laughs (the Brad role in recent ones) would be a good time.

Jeff rorie ben i can dig.
I just want rorie in everything.
My solutions to make any content better:
1. Have dan in it
2. Have rorie in it

Not to be a Dan but I gotta say five hours in I am super not having fun with the combat in Yakuza 0 so far.

It's not just a styles thing, GBWest often feels like they're missing a cast member and shuffling people around into other roles to fill the void. I feel like the loss of Ryan has never been more evident, so many times during their podcasts/videos it seems like he'd make everything work.
A man after my heart.

Just go after trying to trigger various heat moves. That's one of the few ways to have fun with yakuza combat.

I don't feel the "shuffling people around into other roles to fill the void" though. Only when Jason isn't there or can't be in two places at once is where I feel it but that's also because what they're missing is another video guy. Other then that, they're themselves like they always have been. Only difference is of course the people who are bouncing off said people changed but hey, that's life.
There's a dimension out there that has all 9 duders under one roof making content.

Now imagine ravenholm in 15fps on a shitty laptop.
Which probably wasn't that far off from the xbox version.
Try the PS3 version.

I guess I bought a Switch ahead of the game.
Not much of their library appeals to me. But I knew Mario Kart would be a no brainer.
Part of me wants to get Mario and Rabbids but I'm not the greatest at RTS.
I'm sure once the library expands, I'll find more games I want but for now, it's my secondary console.

I ran it on a Radeon 9200 SE. Rock solid performance but the load times were frequent and long. Also, I played it with a trackball.
thats not what a RTS is
I've got a gaming PC, a 3DS, a Switch and a PS4 Pro now.
I'm done right? I've got all the things, between those I'm covered on all exclusives that might come along?
oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiii

It's Turn Based Strategy not RTS.

Look, I was at single frames by the end of the game. I'll take the PS3 version.
Playing with a trackball sounds crazier to me.

I had very limited desk space at the time, it was my only option. Looking back it sounds crazy to me too but I actually got pretty damn proficient gaming on the thing.
I'm looking forward to it.
