I know Jeff (or Brad, I forget) downloaded the Miku app. Or was that something else?

Hey, If I liked NMH1 and 2, I would like Killer is Dead?
Nope. I love it. Perfect material to have on in the background at work.
Nope I multitask during 90% if the videos anyways so long ones are better if anything.

NMH was like a spot-on piss take of action games, good and bad. The satirical quality of that game is what elevates it above Grasshopper's recent output. It was a deconstruction of what happens when you try to make your game be at 11 all the time; meanwhile, the last two Grasshopper games are exhausting in how they try to be goofy, sexy, stylish and action-packed in every second of play.
It's like NMH was some kind of accident... or maybe Suda just needs to return to the directing chair, for real.

Vocaloid music is awful in general, but that tutorial song is stupid catchy.
Wish there were more songs like that.
AA was 19+ min, iirc. Pretty short. I dunno, I'm like some other guys here, I just leave it on while I do something else.

Yeah I pretty much agree. Okay playing games with cool presentation/stylistic elements (i.e. They're Suda games). The weirdest things to me is that NMH2 maintained the review scores that NMH1 had. Typically when it's a case of what you've said reviewers wise up by the time the sequel comes around.

Excuse me, I meant the War Thunder.
But yeah, I guess I should just leave them on the background. I find it difficult to focus on my work though. Hah.
That's what I end up doing, just watch 10-15 minutes and then tap out. I feel like I'm missing some potentially great stuff though.
Just make it short and sweet.

Up until Killer is Dead (which I have my doubts on), I don't think he's actually """"directed"""" any Grasshopper games since NMH, has he?
They just throw his name on as "Creative Director," which, in Grasshopper speak, seems to mean he walks in to a room and goes "Hey what if that character wore a skirt alright good meeting see you guys next week"
I'm going to need you to pull over, sir.
b-but who will lead the videogame resistance in 2021 if I'm gone?
People were still starved for good games on the Wii when NMH2 came out.

People being starved for games on a Nintendo system has never equated to better reviews. The only thing it guarantees is the word "dust" somewhere in the first three paragraphs.
Yeah, their new style seems to be three people and almost an hour long Quick Looks. I don't really like it, I skip way more now.
its really annoying how a lot of the videos don't appear in the 'archive' any more, only in the news feed or 'top slot'
i'm pretty sure the only way to access the 2 most recent spooking spoops videos is to find them in the news list because they arent in the subscriber section.
is there an unprofessional friday missing too? maybe a daily DOTA as well?
it just seemed to stop working since PAX :S

Which is extra crazy when you consider like, what did Suda 51 ever make to earn that status? Shinji Mikami. Mother fucker made Resident Evil. Hideo Kojima made MGS. Inafune made Mega Man. Kamiya made DMC, and I don't think they even put his name on boxes.
What did Suda make? A rail shooter that wasn't even that good but was weird enough that people talked about it for a while?

And if it was a live performance from the jazz trio of Funky Student, Mysterious Fox and Kanji they'd fill Madison Square Garden

I dunno about that, I feel like there's always been this phenomena of people gathering around mediocre/flawed games on message boards when a system has nothing coming out for it. I think it ends up influencing reviewers too, since more often than not, they're very much the type that finds themselves on message boards about videogames.
It's not exclusively a Nintendo thing. You see it on something like the Vita too, where people pretend as if shit games like Uncharted:Golden Abyss are worth playing.

I still want a full english version of Golden's True Story song.
And that QL was fantastic. I must've looked like a complete idiot trying to hold back laughter on the train.

We're explicitly talking about review scores, though, which have the opposite results from what you're arguing here.
Generally games that are supposed to be the momentum starters for Nintendo systems or the drop-of-water-in-the-desert games get reviewed pretty harshly.
They liked it from my impression. Jeff won't say it but he's gonna play more of it, imo.

ha, just as I made this edit:
anyway, here's some more examples that I feel make my case.

I suppose we'll have to agree to disagree if you're still not seeing it.

They should include some classic PSO music as DLC
And by classic PSO music I mean the Burning Rangers theme

Oh God. I absolutely lost it at that censoring part. I was in tears I was laughing so hard.

You should totally put a score in to the score challenge we're running in the OT! Just a tad over three days left to get a score in.
I'd have to check again to see if the behavior is exactly the same, but the Japanese version will censor certain angles, yes.

Dead or JUST BEGINNING?????????
Yo but can your megurine luka dance to Jamiroquai?
It is masterful trolling on Sega's part to not localise PSO2 but localise an obscure Japanese rhythm game with a PSO2 themed song in it,

Yeah, good thing Vinny-kun and Jeff-senpai are there to school him on Hatsune Miku.
Jeff said they're doing it today because some of them are out tomorrow.
Jeff has a lot of GTA V to play as well. Monday will be here soon.
