I just realised how good the Colon Destroyer name is.

Well, actually it kind of points out the lack of intellectual rigor present from the people that created/supported that list if there are people on there that haven't had anything to do with gaming for some time.
So I've been way too busy lately to watch anything on the site, but with a long weekend coming up, is there any stuff from the past week or two that I need to check out?
Along those lines, are there any MGS (both the game and the video series) spoilers in the podcast this week? I'm still not very far in the game still so I haven't watched any of their playthrough yet, and I'm still avoiding this thread a little in fear of spoilers.

"Never been punched in the face"
5 minutes later
"What is it when you're a person who gets off on gettin hurt, is that a masochist or a sadist??"
30 seconds later
"I punched a bully in the face in fifth grade"
Well, I also mean in terms of what he's played, which is to say: do they discuss what he's played so far much? I imagine he's probably a couple hours ahead of me at this point, but I don't care that much if it's covered quickly/vaguely, I guess.
So is gonna have to be me to say Dan's sisters are pretty?

I think, maybe during his TLOU stream, he said his sisters were twins, hence both of them having names starting with K.

Yup, somebody already waifu'd her. Sorry.

Has Drew ever played a game that isn't a simulator? That last MGS video is real rough, still fun to watch though 
Probably not? They're all aware these shows are for the fans and not the press. They've probably seen these demos a few times before anyways and wouldn't want to hold up the already long lines with having to shoot footage in these kinda of crowds.
Maybe? I'm trying to remember if they've done stuff in the past but I can't. I guess it depends on what they fit in between the panels they're all on.

Dave Lang is history's greatest monster.
I played DOTA once earlier this year and then immediately deleted it. Last night I had a dream about it and it convinced me that I'm a natural and The DOTA King is pretty much my destiny. So I'm downloading it again right now.
I think listening to old Bombcasts while I try to sleep at night is why I had the dream. Thanks, Brad's obsession. I will now journey off to achieve my purpose.

DOTA claims another victim.

It's really interesting to watch Drew play MGS. There's a lot to keep track of (keeping rations equipped, making sure you have enough ammo, your O2, etc.), and it seems like he'd be used to that after playing so many simulators

He hasn't taken enough notes for MGS
For a guy named Stone Cold Steve Austin, he comes off as incredibly nice.
Dan has made it to the big leagues. He has Steve Austin tweeting at him.
I'm glad I'm not the only one.

This will end badly for you.

I think the 3rd phase of the cyborg ninja fight was pretty telling (the one where he teleports behind you) in that he wasn't sure what to do, when that's a pretty common action game trope of simply not overcommitting with your attacks. Or things like enemies being invincible for for a bit after you hit them.
Someone who's played lots of action games would probably be quicker to pick up on that sort of stuff. I think Drew's doing fine though, and I also think most people tend to forget what it was like learning these controls and such, it always seems much easier in hindsight.
Your last point is really good. That's something you always see when someone's doing a playthrough of the Souls games for the first time. There's always so many people screaming at them in the chat, telling them exactly what to do. There's just so many people who have put a lot of time into those games, so they forget how difficult it can be the first time around because they know "everything" about the game at that point.

Oh
I just thought
Drew should totally play Metal Gear Rising once he finishes 4

Is Bread Muir ever sad?
There is a great 3-part interview with him that was made accompanying the MC kickstarter. Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yb2Drgv62t8
He's a genuine fucking mofo.
Seeing him struggle with some aspects of mgs1, I'd hate to see how he fares in the final parts of revengeance.
Actually wait I'd love to see it.

I've been yelling at the screen watching Drew fight the Ninja. WHY DID YOU FORGET ABOUT THE CHAFF GRENADES?? WHY ARE YOU PUNCH PUNCH KICKING IN THE FINAL PHASE????

I hope they make it to 2, 3 or 4. I feel like the changes to the controls in them would make it way better for him.

He needs to play it, if only for the nanomachines stuff to come full circle.
I don't want to extend this, but it still doesn't respond to his critics and his views while he was in the gaming press, but yes this particular part is what I found humorous.
If Drew thinks the controls in the original are complex, I want to see him try to hold up an enemy in 2 or 3!
