I don’t like the guest dude. He gets off on a bad start with his British slang story, which turns out to be 1 slang, 1 in joke and 1 terribly condescending insult said barely ironically, and then he goes off on Overwatch for 20 minutes in a Reddit style rant just saying things into a mic without much input from the GB Regulars on the pod. I like Overwatch a lot, but I don’t need angry Reddit posts about it on the bombcast.
This feels very off brand and it’s taking me a while to get through it. Shame that Ben was busy pooping, I bet he would’ve helped a lot, especially the part where dude said he couldn’t take Smash seriously because theres more than 2 players at a time (???) and no one questioned that.
The story is indeed really solid, but wow that gameplay just looks like it drags. They should've made it so you always start a segment with a free hit. As a rule, platformers where there's no leeway to make mistakes suck. (Unless the levels are short like Meatboy or there's frequent checkpoints like Celeste. There are exceptions.)
Funny how the Xbox version doesn't have that Shovel Knight DLC from September yet. I'm really glad I tuned out of Rivals of Aether when Smash Ultimate excitement hit a fever pitch. I can't imagine waiting a year for something that's already on PC.
