Mike uses david’s twitter? Just asking gonna listen to this as im finishing mass effect 2
Great show, it was really interesting to hear your guys thoughts on the Vita.
Looking forward to Nick’s inevitable reaction to Assassins Creed next week.
After to listening to this i think david may be a deep down racist.
I haven’t listened to this and so I have no idea what he may have said to lead you to this conclusion, but from having heard David in the past, I wouldn’t say he’s racist at all (least of which in any harmful way).
He’s had a habit in the past of saying things in perhaps the wrong way, which have given off an impression of racial ignorance, but from what I’ve seen he’s certainly not intolerant nor does he harbour ill opinions of people of any race.
Good show as always, gotta love the grilling you always give Jack on being Brittish, as a fellow Brit, I love your curiosity on our culture, it makes you sounds like such idiots trying to understand the simplest of differences
.
Don’t rely on Gavin from Rooster Teeth for British colloquialisms; like ‘headlight fluid’, a lot of the phrases he says are just him and not well known in Britain; I’ve never heard a grown adult use the word “eggy”, as Jack said, only “retardies” say that.
well you can have eggy bread but as for eggy beanie…. not quite sure thats a thing lol
Great show guys, thanks! Thanks for talking about syndicate, I cant wait for the review!
I would love to see some more realistic design choices in games, sure the player would want the escapism within the game to not worry about those, but I would personally enjoy a game that treats things differently.
What about the simplest of functions, similar to GTA, your home is your save point, you simply get in debt and they take your home away, no more saving until you earn it back. Harsh, but you can move into a friend’s house and suffer penalties with your contact report. Or even sleep in the street, and suffer slight health penalties, with increasing chances to receive decease.
Hmm, I can’t think of any more at the moment, but it could be awesome if some other peeps could chime in, this might even make a good forum thread.
Third comment already I know, really gotta listen to the whole thing before commenting, but you could say in the 4 player minute; Nick was ‘literally’ fucking everyone in the podcast.
Good podcast guys. Loved the part when David dreamed of being Short Round when he was kid. Hilarious!
Sannie xD why have I never heard of this before?? 4playerfoodcast amirite? I digress, interesting vita discussion!
Sarnie*
I sure love David’s “here is something I heard, so it must be true” segment.
Eggies and beanies? wat?
Just a suggestion – maybe have someone else read the chatter for the week or have David pre-pick and read them before the show. When he reads it live, he tends to stumble over himself and it kills the pace of the show. I think if he just pre-read them and planned out what he was going to say he wouldn’t have such a problem. He has a tendancy to read it and laugh out loud about it while the listener is left wondering what’s so funny.
Gotta have dem white problems
