No Spoiler Warning this week. Again. We spent so much time fighting with audio<\/a> that when the video stream began flaking out we were too grumpy, tired, and frustrated to deal with it. But we should have it all hammered out next week. In the meantime, Mumbles has compiled a list of her top 10 favorite Spoiler Warning Episodes<\/a>. Go read it. Number 1 will shock you<\/a>! (It shocked me, anyway. Her #1 is the episode where I basically griefed the entire cast through incompetence.)<\/p>\n

But if we’re doing easy-breezy “top 10 list” type contentBecause I got nothin this week, and I’m elbow-deep in the guts of Good Robot right now and don’t have time to make something intelligent.<\/span> then the least I can do is pitch in. So here is my top ten list of favorite Spoiler Warning episodes:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

10. Elevator Source<\/a><\/p>\n

All I remember is how much fun it was to make this episode.<\/p>\n

9. Mass Effect 2 Finale: Don't Fear the Reaper<\/a><\/p>\n

We worked hard. We did our best. And in the end, we managed to kill off Miranda. That’s the only true winstate of Mass Effect 2. <\/p>\n

8. Spoiler Warning: Railroad to Nowhere<\/a><\/p>\n

Bad graphics, worse gameplay, and truly horrendous puns. What more can you ask for?<\/p>\n

7. Hitman Absolution EP11: Ultimate Defenestration GOTY<\/a><\/p>\n

Yes! Shove him out the window! Again! Do it again!<\/p>\n

6. Dark Souls Special Part 2: Hashtag DESERVED<\/a><\/p>\n

Lots to love about this episode. George Weidman<\/a> is our guest, and this is a game he’s really into. We get a PvP invader, and it goes far better than we could possibly have planned or hoped for.<\/p>\n

5. New Vegas EP45: Fission Mailed<\/a><\/p>\n

Josh wanted the incinerator<\/del> shishkebab, which can only be obtained if you play the Honest Hearts DLC, which none of us wanted to do. So Josh tormented us all week, which drove us so crazy Rutskarn read aloud a Wikipedia article about lizard penises. And then after all that horror, I caved for no reason and let Josh play Honest Hearts anyway, thus punishing Mumbles, who was the only person who didn’t deserve it<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

4. Amnesia: The Horrible half-hour long mastercraft shitty joke.<\/a><\/p>\n

Normally, Amnesia is a dark, torturous, uncomfortable journey. Normally, conversations with your friends are filled with hilarity. But in this episode those two things are reversed.<\/p>\n

3. New Vegas EP35: Spy is Demoman!<\/a><\/p>\n

Josh has a plan. His plan is stupid, pointless, suicidal, and exposes half a dozen bugs and glitches in the process. But it works anyway. That’s why we love him.<\/p>\n

2. Battlefield Hardline Episode 3: Miami Arrest Mans Force<\/a><\/p>\n

The game’s pretensions of being a gritty crime drama only make it that much more ludicrous, but in the end it’s Rutskarn’s cop monologue at the top of the episode that push this one over the top from good to great.<\/p>\n

1. Skyrim EP20: The King's Speech<\/a><\/p>\n

This has all the fun of blasting people off ledges, plus crazy Bethesda AI follies, PLUS pointless chaotic stupid shenanigans from Josh, PLUS Ulfric Stormcloak sits on a sweetroll. <\/p>\n

Honorable mention goes to Hitman Absolution EP4: Ranting and Raving<\/a>, where Rutskarn and I tag-teamed one of the dumbest cutscenes in any videogame ever. That episode wasn’t really funny so much as cathartic. Also good is Hitman Absolution EP14: Please Love me!<\/a>, where Mumbles brings some much-needed levity to our bitching and moaning. The only reason those didn’t make the list was because I didn’t want more than one instance of Absolution on the list. It was a fun season, but I honestly hated that game. <\/p>\n

Also worth a mention is Fallout 3 EP7: Can't Stop the Signal<\/a>, when Josh gave THREEEEE DOG a grenade-in-the-pants.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
