    Yeeeah I'm not a big fan of the DOTA live streams, but the majority seem to enjoy it. I just find it hard to follow, and overall boring to watch.

    Yeah I wonder if they're just done with it. That would be unfortunate.

    On the last one, didn't Ryan just say straight up they weren't doing them anymore?

    Are there not even any female refugees? It's been a while since I played the first Metro, but from what I remember there were plenty (well, "a nonzero amount") of women in the camps.

    I was watching someone on YouTube play it and it seemed like there were female refugees, yeah.

    And that thing Tal linked
    It's got to be possible to save her, right? Because the aforementioned video I watched the guy just kept on nonchalantly looting things while it was going on in the background, and it was infuriating

    They've said they weren't entirely happy with a weekly show of that format. They said it might be retooled to be more of a monthly thing, or might disappear altogether.

    I find DOTA hard to get into but if anybody here does like DOTA and has ideas about items I'll listen because I'm way into fat stacks of money.

    No, they said they were going to do them more infrequently. But apparently Chris Watters is difficult to get ahold of on a regular basis, so maybe they'll just drop it?

    They said they were gonna start doing it monthly instead of weekly because not enough games are coming out to justify a weekly show. Bunch of things have come out in the past month, enough to put on a show now (Injustice, Pandora's Tower, Soul Hackers, Riptide, Star Trek, Poker Night 2, Deadly Premonition: Director's Cut, Blood Dragon, Zeno Clash II, Mario & DK: Minis on the Move, Dust 514, Last Light).

    Yeah, there weren't enough new releases to do a weekly new releases show, and apparently the show bogged down two websites instead of one, since it had to pull people from Gamespot.

    has the Arkham Origins teaser trailer been posted in here yet?

    it's interesting how the vast majority of promo material thus far is devoted to intricate depiction of the hand to hand combat versus Deathstroke. probably safe to say there's going to be a more robust hand to hand fighting system?

    I'm watching the end of the first daily DOTA, there's the Bioforge stream, then another DOTA stream and the 514 quicklook.

    I'm kind of glad there's no Wednesday show.

    I would be kind of worried if a new studio tried to improve upon easily the best third person melee combat system ever designed

    They should just leave that stuff as-is and do something about the bizarre art direction/story writing

    More robust than what's still the best non-fighting game hand to hand combat system? Like I'm not sure what you'd add that wouldn't alter it completely.

    I really loved jumping into the middle of a group of thugs in arkham city and knocking them all out with counter attacks

    it reminded me of that scene in the protector but not quite as painful to watch

    Yeah, I don't mean that as a knock against the Gamespot staff. It's just a different format than they normally work in, but I bet they'd be fine given more practice, and I definitely would watch more GB/GS material

    Arkham fighting was great against crowds of henchmen but of they can also make one on one duels against other martial artists satisfying that would be much appreciated.
