2021-02-23 00:15:39 +0000 UTCCorrection: Jones said "Assassin's Creed sales always have to do with the last one. So it wasn't 3 that's great, it's 2 that's great" when talking about AC3 being #1 selling AC game in its first 3 months. While AC2 is great the game that preceeded AC3 was not AC2 but AC Revelations.

2021-02-22 20:27:27 +0000 UTCCORRECTION: In the 2001 classic "The Fast and the Furious," Brian O'Connor (Paul Walker) does in fact press the NOS button to come from behind, but he ultimately loses the race. Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) easily bests him by pressing his NOS button closer to the finish line and winning the race, in which he proclaims to a gumshoe O'Connor: “It doesn’t matter whether you win by an inch or a mile, winning is winning.”

2021-02-21 03:57:42 +0000 UTCYeah, I had a little trouble catching what people were saying. I think next time I need to crank the volume on my headphones, and arrange my screen better to have the cameras up while I go. -Bloodworth

2021-02-20 19:38:54 +0000 UTCBlood could use a little practice with reading out Press Release Me without stopping until everyone is out, that said, the clips from that were hilarious and Jones keeps nailing the end of the podcast pulls. The game length criticism discussion was very timely. I've seen people discussing that lately, so good to know exactly how the panel feels.

2021-02-20 15:25:29 +0000 UTCProject Triangle Strategy is the type of game you book off a whole weekend for. Just bowls of sugary cereal and turn based strategy games.

2021-02-20 09:10:15 +0000 UTCHA HA HA!! WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT STINGER?! Just popped on ta say the No More Heroes 3 thing is HUUUUUUGELY exciting! I know Travis Strikes Again scored poorly with EZA, but it set up crazy big things. The children of Travis, the emergence of the Suda verse (tying in most of his work he's ever done), as well as the initial implementation of his Death Drive power glove powers. If you wanna go in clean like Ben I advise you look away from any analysis because that trailer was VERY MEATY!!! Also the Japanese direct had SLIGHTLY different footage!! NO MORE HEROES 3 HYYYYYYPE!
