"Failure state" means you did not succeed at a task and was punished for it. In Dark Souls, you are sent back to your campfire and everything respawns. That is your punishment for failing to play correctly, hence, "failure state." I see Jim's argument, and I can even see why he's right (he...

Are the Dark Souls and Pokemon games really RPGs? Just because you level up doesn't make it "role playing". I've never played Monster Hunter, but it seems like the same sort of "grind" game with no plot. I think I'd put "epic storyline" and "character progress" at the forefront, with "dialog...

This is a cool new video series, I'm in. Next week they should braid each other's hair. UNCIVIL WAR: FRENCH BRAIDING Edit: Also, not sure if this was intentional, but you guys got me super pumped for the new Doom coming out.

I deserve the pre-order code because I have neither a PS4 nor XBox One, and will not be purchasing Destiny until a PC version is released. Hah! That would be sticking it to pre-order culture! The Elder Scrolls Online had a thing where you could play any race, any faction if you pre-ordered...

Haha, that was awesome. Thank god for Jim! No Right Answer needs a catch phrase, so we can mix the two up when Jim shows up.

Nice vid, guys. I kinda like his stuff (Star Trek, Super 8, and Into Darkness - I haven't seen MI3, but I heard he resuced the franchise), and what we've seen so far (all the practical effects!) make me hopeful.

Does Kevin Smith really warrant such controversy? I've enjoyed more of his films than I haven't.

This was a great show guys, I really liked the three people / three arguments approach, and you did a good job of letting everybody get a chance to talk. SPOILERS FOR CAP 2: TWS My personal opinion is to pass the torch. With Phase Two introducing the Guardians of the Galaxy, Phase Three...

Wow, an earnest defense of ASM2? That's pretty cool, the last few defenses have been kinda "ironic". I really enjoyed the first ASM, probably more than SM1 and definitely more than SM3. Looking forward to this coming to Redbox or whatever.

Eh, I mean, the WiiU has some interesting exclusive titles. We're too early in the "new" generation to even have a reason to buy a PS4 or XB1. I don't own any of 'em, but then, I'm mostly a PC gamer. I might buy a PS4 when... something?... comes out for it that I gotta play.

So this was a really cool episode. I liked that it was a two-parter, and that Chris got a full chance to speak his mind and lay out all his frustrations with the show at once. Both the starting argument and the response were respectful and passionate. I hope this pair of videos gets a lot...

Thanks Matt, this has been a fun series to watch. Will you pick it back up in 10 months (or whatever it is?) when Season 5 launches? I'm not exactly sure I'm looking forward to this next season, as I remember the books getting incredibly dull for a while.

Slow start, but the Anti-thinker was pretty funny. Though we're not actually getting any better framerate - most of the nextgen titles are locked at 30fps, at least on console. Really unfortunate.

Greg, nice write-up! Did you get to play the same section multiple times? Was there the sense that the gameplay was fairly randomized and emergent, or somewhat static?

Yahtzee, please make a book of limericks. Sincerely, -Everyone
