every time a new episode comes out, I cycle through every episode while I wait for the new one. I feel like I shouldn't be so addicted to something that the creators think is so shit LOL
I used to be super burned out on modern games for about 2 years (I only ever played stuff like Doom, System Shock 2, and Silent Hill) but playing the first Dark Souls on PC last month absolutely blew me away, but to be fair it's such a diamond in the rough in terms of newer games.
when the camera turns off at the 30 minute mark, you guys should have it off for a little longer so that we could see the fanarts a lot longer. it shows the talents of the artists of the fanarts more and it also makes the podcast more interesting to watch. just a suggestion you don't have to do it, of course! :) lol
It's interesting to see just how different my idea of a "good game" is from Alex's. Alex: "I want a game that I know I won't need to put 60 hours in. I want to just play it through and be done with it." Me: "I want a game with hundreds of hours, that I can keep coming back to forever." I end up living off of a few *very* fun games for years, rather then binging through dozens games and money. Seriously, a game you spend like $60 on and only play once, is a massive waste IMO. Especially when there are $20 (hell, even $5) games that'll stay fun and playable for hundreds of hours.
"If you can't come up with a good reason to hate a game other than 'it's boring,' then it's just your opinion and doesn't matter." Proceeds to shit on Fallout with no objective reasoning.
your logic on games is putting the medium in a box. You were saying that The Last of Us is not a great game cause it focuses more on narrative than mechanics. That's like saying a film is not great cause it doesn't focus enough on cinematography, which is what the medium is.
Has Alex ever played far cry 3? It's one of the best examples of video game stories. It's a legit good story and it also uses the fact it's a game to tell the story like little things like using the skill tree as a visual metaphor to show Jason disconnect with humanity.
hi guys 2020, watching the yogs still playing Titanfall 2, hope it was everything you hoped and dreamed alex also Spec Ops's uninspired, boring combat is the point
I've heard you guys complain about storytelling in games quite a few times, but you have to remember that video games is still a fairly young medium and attempting to focus on storytelling is even more recent. Video games definitely have the potential for great stories, but they need more time to break away from the influence of movies. The progress we've made so far with video game stories shows a promising future.
***** Thanks alot people always called me Ienstian in my youth, they sounded so sarcastic though, never could figure out why... thanks I'm glad you enjoy this little game we have! I very much enjoy it too!
Lars Uelf Gave "Sick Love", "Go Robot" and "Goodbye Angels" another listen after posting this comment, I like them a lot now. My score is probably like a 7 now.
I'd almost say (AND I KNOW I'M GONNA GET FLAK FOR THIS) But Undertale, told a nice story in a great way, yet still remained a short game with fun gameplay.
Ahhh. So in a nutshell of Alex's view on video games, he doesn't like long games. I.E The Witcher, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Elder Scrolls, and the likes.
Alex is so negative. I get the feeling he hates everything.
but if he hates everything then does he hate Mars bars??
His brother comfirms he's a cynical person in real life on stream so maybe haha
yeah, he should start a 2nd youtube channel, call I React Negatively To Anything. IRNTA for short
Just realised that I have watched every single yogs pog all the way through. That's 25 hours of my life gone forever.
I always see you in the jar comments, man.
You're a legend.
Same though I've watched some of them 2 or 3 times so yeah
I've listened to episode 1 and 6 three times
christ
Amen brother!
I listen to these while I do something else. Usually not waste of time.
I always smile and laugh a little when Alex breaks out into song for no apparent reason
i have a crush on jim
We all do
It's normal.
+Wendy Miller even if you're a man.
Jim with Alex's legs would be hot
James is the reason I haven't hung myself in a smelly closet with ripped movie posters from twenty years ago.
did u just copy a comment
A Blob With Bloblems No, I just wrote whatever shit I was thinking.
Would the closet or the posters be twenty years old?
Benny Ackley
Posters.
"People say I have a good ASMR voice"
Their reaction though
I religiously watch these, I feel kinda bad.
What does that even mean
same
every time a new episode comes out, I cycle through every episode while I wait for the new one. I feel like I shouldn't be so addicted to something that the creators think is so shit LOL
+FarfetchdReviews I don't think they actually think it's shit. They're just being super self deprecating. I do it all the time!
Nathan T YOU GOT ME THEEEEERE

40:35 james' mike looks like it has wings.
ALEX SHOWS SOME OF HIS FACE AT 1:09:11
Holy shit I didnt know he was a black guy
he looks like Jar Jar Binks
My life currently consists of skyrim se + listening to these
The ending caused me to stare intently outside a window and question my existence.

BAD SUGGESTION. WOW CRINGE.
VERY WOW.CRINGE. WOW WHAT WAS I THINKING?
Ashley25029 My mind has been infected by Alex's stupid memes. Kill me pls
+Sir Musty m8 everyone is infected by Alex's cringe memes. it's like a virus now
Ashley25029 a pussy virus
Ruben's Kreemcunt impression was 10/10. Thought he was there in the room for a sec
Killer ReubenStar
Killer Rubstar
***** LET'S GET ROIGHT INTO THE CRINGE

-Where is my foond
>her'es your steank with NO VEGETAL as you ordered sir
-cool and good
~did someone said NO VEGETAL-S?
-i taste a VEGETAL
ANGERY
The David Bowie shirt made the entire podcast.
Ruben does a Yank accent really well. It's very nearly completely passable.
It's interesting to see just how different my idea of a "good game" is from Alex's.

you guys make my day every time
that was an funny end to this pod. Its weird seeing you guys excited for stuff that came out and was disappointing
The ending was flawless!
"If you can't come up with a good reason to hate a game other than 'it's boring,' then it's just your opinion and doesn't matter."
Proceeds to shit on Fallout with no objective reasoning.
What the hell happened at the end there!? Like, it was glorious don't get me wrong, but... what!?
SPOILERSSSSS
+QuincySoulz Do we really need to question that after watching 24 episodes of this shit show (multiple times)?
I think it was Fly Me To The Moon, and Man Research, combined.
Very interesting discussion in here.
I like the Gorillaz song reference at the end
the best thing about Mondays
Hearing Alex say 'Dolan dark' is special
Alex more respect for you for liking Jazz music and Frank Sinatra, in other words; I love you.
James's foot looks like moldy Swiss cheese
damn alex when's your ep dropping?
honest to god the best video game story that only could have been done in video games is prolly The Beginners Guide and The Stanley Parable
wow alex wheere is the keeeeeeeeeeem video!?!?!?!?!?!
Alex is a stupid cringe
goin up today ;)
I Hate Everything Ey! Its the cringelord himself! I guess i know what im doing later! Thanks for the heads up!
it's here
marpl-darp-farpledarp and it was beautiful!
your logic on games is putting the medium in a box. You were saying that The Last of Us is not a great game cause it focuses more on narrative than mechanics. That's like saying a film is not great cause it doesn't focus enough on cinematography, which is what the medium is.
I love this Dutch Angle, so artsy.
Drinking game: whenever James brings up over watch take a shot
idk why but i love these so fucking much
Hmm...wonder if Alex would like Ace Attorney...
yogspog is what i live for
WOOOOW!!!!
I liked GTA 5 a lot for basically making the playable characters parodies of GTA players. Trevor being the most obvious example.
0:31 is that a sock reveal?????
You guys didnt even bring up Nintendo when talking about video games. Their games are still pretty good imo.
We also have soft drink flavoured chocolate in NZ
More blabs spread the awareness #MoreBlabs
Alex you should play borderlands 2, a really good game with an interesting story and actual comedy in a video game.
gotta love the ear rape Gorillaz song at the end lol
43:00 I felt the same thing with cod for like 5 years and now i dont even buy it. I think its because we're older and have more things to do now
Loving the black star tee!
Halo of Gears of War
Only on Playstation
I killed myself last night but I stayed as a ghost so I could watch this podcast.
Jar is the light in the darkness that is my life
Has Alex ever played far cry 3? It's one of the best examples of video game stories. It's a legit good story and it also uses the fact it's a game to tell the story like little things like using the skill tree as a visual metaphor to show Jason disconnect with humanity.
Games have to be either *really* dated or absolutely new, with fantastic graphics.
I don't even know, what i'm doing with my life anymore
course james with the mercy shirt
alex is singing the neon genesis evangelion ending haha yes
Ha James still isn't in the official Twitter links.
he's secretly been kicked from JAR and leaving his link out is the only way they can break it to him
***** Oh then it's Jim's Twitter than doesn't have a link.
how do you feel about crash bandicoot trilogy getting a remaster?
Jim, New Zealand has been involved in wars. Even in WWII and WWI, but I'm an ignorant millennial so I don't know what WWI is.
hi guys
2020, watching the yogs still playing Titanfall 2, hope it was everything you hoped and dreamed alex
also Spec Ops's uninspired, boring combat is the point

Video games definitely have the potential for great stories, but they need more time to break away from the influence of movies. The progress we've made so far with video game stories shows a promising future.
people love fallout as a series but a lot of people have a dislike for individual fallout games.
I came for the banter, but I had to stay through the video games. :P haha jk love you guys
I crashed my bike into a tree and fell into the drain beside it. And the bike fell on me.
This is the Breakfast Club
that was a good yogs
The first 12 episodes of season 4 of breaking bad were set up episodes
You should try out the Metro games, I thought the story, world and characterisation were really good in those games.
+StaticExp Yeah that's true. I played the second one in Russian with subtitles.
IT'S A GIANT WORM
I just realised GAME ON! stands for Good Afternoon Morning Evening Or Night.
***** Thanks alot people always called me Ienstian in my youth, they sounded so sarcastic though, never could figure out why... thanks I'm glad you enjoy this little game we have! I very much enjoy it too!
***** epic :)
***** epic :)
***** epic :)
***** epic :)
have you tired L&P chocolate? it's so good
Thoughts on The Getaway by RHCP?
It was doo doo.
Spoofy Zapps435 Alex hates review scores, but 5.5/10, basically average with one or two high points.
+ProtoGeek Productions I'm a huge RHCP fan and I hated it after the first listen. But the more I listen to it, I like it more and more. I'd say 7-8/10
Lars Uelf Gave "Sick Love", "Go Robot" and "Goodbye Angels" another listen after posting this comment, I like them a lot now. My score is probably like a 7 now.
I am liking the album so far, personally.
No one asked me but there it is...lol.
So are u going to make a I Hate Video Games video
ALEX SAID EVANGELION OH FUCKKKK
AND THEY SANG FLY ME 2 THE MOOOOOON
evan-jelly-wiggly-on
Love you guys
Hate*
+A Blob With Bloblems whoops sorry, you're right. I meant to say *wow JAR, cringe. I hate the cast more than I hate myself
+Delaney Anderson if you hate yourself does that mean you hate Mars bars
I feel like these guys would like Deus Ex HR or maybe the new one
Deus Ex = greatest game ever
+Trigger Dawg nice one
agreed
I'd almost say (AND I KNOW I'M GONNA GET FLAK FOR THIS) But Undertale, told a nice story in a great way, yet still remained a short game with fun gameplay.
nice song 10/10
Does anybody remember Wubbzy.
What do you guys think about Britain leaving the EU?
wouldn't it be cool if James from odd1sout was a guest on the cast
Quite the outro
Alex needs to play more video games. Preferably ones that aren't AAA titles.
Ahhh. So in a nutshell of Alex's view on video games, he doesn't like long games. I.E The Witcher, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Elder Scrolls, and the likes.
Would The Stanley Parable appeal to you, Alex?
that fucking ending
i love jarcast
Hate*
want to die very soon*
Alex is a stupid nigga
Where are the pooey movies?
* D * O * O * M *
"episode 20-something..." do you even care anymore?
You should fight with gatorpoon
Skyrim better than Fallout? naaah I don't think so... on a Wednesday.
Everything the game is the game of the year. Clearly.
Dangit I lost the game.
It's clearly super Mario bros 2
If anyone was watching the IHE stream, like if Argyle deserves a mic.
Argyle Bargle
I hope James is ok
Fly Me to the Moon and Beyond the Sea at the very end with Ruben screaming a couple of words. Classic JAR cringe.
jeez 25 hours of my life.....
I don't really see why Alex even plays games. The whole cast come out with some very strange and shallow opinions on gaming.
Breakfast Clubbbb
