Is there a tl:dw version? I don't exactly have time to watch a feature film here.
[QUOTE=Daemon White;48516648]Is there a tl:dw version? I don't exactly have time to watch a feature film here.[/QUOTE] A lot of it is them talking about that early Phantom Play let's play and the general shadyness (or lack of) in world-exclusive reviews and stuff. They talk about other stuff like just how deals and stuff between companies and let's players/journalists, band how that can possibly spoil the story/experience.

[QUOTE=Blazedol;48516851]i'm only a half hour in though so the topic might shift around :p[/QUOTE] Nah that's pretty much the topic the whole way through.
I can't listen to Sterling for an hour+.
[QUOTE=Marden;48517142]I can't listen to Sterling for an hour+.[/QUOTE] What are you talking about? The live Jimquisition was great.
man I'd rather just listen to slowbeef than jim and totalbiscuit tbh.
He's a cool dude, I like TB and Jim a lot but I get you.

I never really get the hate for Jim. People seem to hate his Jimquisition character, but fail to realize that it's just that. A character. You've got to learn to separate the character from the person. As for the discussion, it was definitely interesting and had many points I agreed with. Slowbeef, of course, brought his weird sort of charm to it and was one of the reasons why I stuck around for the whole discussion.

I don't understand what the character is? He just seems like a guy that doesn't like shit games.

[QUOTE=Rahu X;48527804]I never really get the hate for Jim.[/QUOTE] I think that most people that hate him know about the character thing and just hate his views. I like the guy but I do find quite a bit of his views objectionable. [video=youtube;Lje1viM_djY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lje1viM_djY[/video]
I don't hate Jim or TB, I just like slowbeef WAY more than either of them.
wAit, what games do they sPoiler.É

He'd have to be holding control, alt AND shift, that takes a lot of dedication to accidentally do!
I just dislike the Jimquisition set design, character attitude and showing himself. It's like AVGN to me except less annoying. His actual opinions and points are usually all very well made and such(even if i disagree with them at times), its just I prefer set-ups like TB and SuperBunnyHop when it comes to journalism/opinion pieces, the point with some B-roll/relevant imagery in the background.

[video=youtube;Lje1viM_djY]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lje1viM_djY[/video][/QUOTE] IIRC, he recently reiterated that this was just a big flub on stage. He was agreeing with what he was saying before hand, and then Sess just straight up said "YO DOXXING AMIRITE" and Jim just sorta played along. I'll try and find where he said that, [I]I think[/I] it was in one of his random "squirty plays" from a little while back. [editline]24th August 2015[/editline] Blegh, there's too many videos it could be in... Just take my word for it :c
[QUOTE=_Axel;48529294]How do you even inadvertently type a capital é?[/QUOTE] English keyboard, french canadian mode. Shift-6 is ? In french mode, the place where ? would be on an english keyboard is replaced with é. There's a shortcut to change from en to fr and all my friends hit it all the time by accident.
the short cut is usually hitting the shift + ctrl keys together from my experience. you can usually switch between question marks and punctuation to accented letters depending on your keyboard.
Personally, I think that review copies are handed out far too early, to too many untrustworthy people, and Let's Plays should not be allowed before a game releases. [I]Especially[/I] for plot-driven games like Metal Gear. Also, UAE release dates should really be postponed now. The street date always gets broken, it's ridiculous.
