The Tangent

It's our second annual episode for PAX East Boston. What did we learn from last year? That maybe, just maybe, it might be good to space out the drinking a tad bit. But we did find some great games, some good games, some not so good games, and just some downright awful games. Which are which? I'm not even sure we know, but you should probably listen to hear if we figure it all out.

We also attempt to do a 'Sober News'. It just doesn't quite work.

The Drunken Show Notes:

With a man down (literally down in Florida) and no 'God Mic' this trio powers on this week for a lengthy Under Your Thumb. First on the agenda for Brian is Battleborn, followed by Ratchet & Clank. We've got Gary up next, and he steps into more Quantum Break and the newly released Dark Souls 3. Speaking of which, so does Anthony this week, and along with that some Final Fantasy IV.

Just how drunk is the 'Drunken News' this week? I guess you'll have to listen to find out, but topics include the Halo Championship Series Pro League, Quantum Break and Dark Souls 3 PC troubles, and a Battle.net attack.

Minus awkward greetings, we get straight to the games. Anthony starts with Far Cary Primal. And that's it. Odd. Justin's next with Borderlands Pre-Sequel 2, some Fallout 4 DLC (surprise, surprise), Paper Mario: Thousand-Year Door, Quantum Break, and Simpsons Hit & Run, which he confused for Road Rage. Gary jumps in on Quantum Break and Borderlands. Finally, Brian rounds it off with Miitomo, Foul Play, and Enter the Gungeon.

And Brian's back with the Drunken News this week. The amount of mess-ups are about the same, but it has nothing to do with the alcohol this week.

Under Your Thumb opens this week with Far Cry Primal to much shock. Then he admits to his failure with Justin in making their Animal Crossing meet-up happen. Speaking of Justin, he's up next with Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. Then we have Gary who's got Replay VHS is not Dead and the Doom Closed Beta. Then buckle up because Stephen takes care of The Drunken News this week, which isn't really a problem for him (the drunk part, that is).

Justin leads off this week and his list is long. He starts with more Gears of War Ultimate Edition and then moves on to Dishonored. But what we all really came for is his Paper Mario Thousand-Year Door saga. Brian's up next and boy does he love The Division. You should listen to see why. Next is Anthony, and Tom Crook has finally gotten all his money. Or has he? We also find out Anthony's had enough of Paper Jam and those stupid toads. Then there's some more talk of Twilight Princess HD and the Fallout 4 DLC. Last up is Gary, and he's got Metal Gear V, Shadow Complex, and a few things to say about Hitman's episodic content.

It's a three man crew this week, in a new recording location, and Justin begins with more Pokemon Yellow talk before diverging into the The Division where it shifts into Brian. He also talks the Uncharted Collection and Temple of the Mask . Anthony rounds out this week with some strong words for Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam and more talk of Twilight Princess HD.

A familiar voice finally returns this week, and in his typical fashion comes unprepared. No worries, however, there are plenty of other games to talk about. Justin opens up briefly with Metal Gear Solid and then returns to talking about Paper Mario Thousand-Year Door, before dropping the bomb that he got Pokemon Yellow. No where near as far as Anthony. Speaking of him, he's next with Dishonored, more thoughts on Paper Jam (and the awful toads), and Twilight Princess HD. A great game, but not so great HD remaster. Brian closes this week with the game he could not speak of: Fable Legends, before ending on The Division.

Stephen's out again this week, but no worries we brought back Gary Hines again to fill in and he ends up going first in Under Your Thumb this week. He talks more Until Dawn and then moves on to The Solus Project, followed by Metal Gear Solid 5 where Justin takes over. Paper Mario Thousand-Year also makes a return. Anthony's next and it's Dishonored, Pokemon 20th Anniversary Red, and a surprise with Mario & Luigi Paper Jam. Brian ends it off with Broforce, GALAK-Z, and the Uncharted 4 Multi-player Beta.

Stephen's out this week, but that's alright because Gary Hines steps in to talk some games. Anthony's up first in Under Your Thumb (surprise, surprise) and he and Justin talk some Animal Crossing: New Leaf. That isn't all, as Dishonored also makes a return and leads to a lengthy group discussion on the game. Next up is the guest, Gary, and he played Killzone: Shadowfall for the PS4. He's clearly not a fan. He also dipped his toes into Until Dawn. A "movie" game. Gary's last game was Metal Gear Solid 5. Justin's up and just has continuing saga of Paper Mario: Thousand-Year Door. Finally, getting to see all the Glitz and Glamour. Brian rounds out this week with two games that are in Beta. One he can't speak of, Fable Legends, and the other, The Division, in which Gary has also played.

Lots of games this week. Justin continues his trek though Paper Mario: Thousand-Year Door and is having issues with a slightly edger computer. Anthony brings the heat with Tomb Of The Mask, Animal Crossing: New Leaf, Undertale, Dishonored, The Devil's Third, and Fire Emblem: Conquest. It's quite the list. And Brian brings in Unravel and has a few choice words for Street Fighter V. We've also got more listener questions!
