I just realized (and forgive me if its obvious) but Kyle and Huber betting is like watching pro wrestling where Huber is the face (good guy) and Kyle is the heel (bad guy). When Kyle does his "bet" bit, he plays up the heel role to perfection. The EZA meta is truly glorious to behold.
Awesome idea, just in time for E3 =)

Edit 2: Huber and Ian having some fun
I don't know if it's my most memorable, but my first victory over the Nameless King in DS3 was SO good. He was kicking my ass for what seemed like forever, then FINALLY, I beat him without getting hit once. It was that classic "Dark Souls Moment" where everything you learned just clicks together. Awesome and one of the reasons why I love the Souls games.
Just a quickie I had in mind. I want to do one of all the all the allies eventually. I'll definitely post more after I put my hours into Witcher 3 :smiley:
Here's some new ones. Couldn't figure out what to put in the triangle underneath Kyle. Any suggestions?

EDIT: Here's Tingle Kyle someone from chat asked for during Dumb Game Monday. WARNING: NSF...anything really.

I really like mecha stuff and thought I was being clever (nope).
Vagrant Story - A strange but amazing action+rpg hybrid from Squaresoft. Kind of lost to time and hard to find unfortunately.
Oh and any excuse to recommend Lunar: Eternal Blue and Grandia, I'll be there :laughing:
Obligatory
I don't know what's cool anymore...
Bosman V Wozniak this week has so good I had to make. I hope Kyle comes up with more "bits"
It looks like there's already a number of threads for PSN groups, WoW guilds, Overwatch etc etc. I think having these in their own categories might be useful. Love the site BTW (Cerulean is love)
The more I see this game the more I want to play it. Listening to Huber talk about it is making the HYPE just that much more intense. There's definitely some nostalgia to it as well. I spent a few years in Japan (even saw some yakuza; some are NOT discrete about it) and the ability to go back, at least in virtual form, is such a trip. Can't wait to walk the streets of Shinjuku again...
EDIT: thread title
Currently, I think Mass Effect as a series is my favorite game. I love sci-fi and the first ME signaled the potential of what a more grounded sci-fi RPG could be. There were other sci-fi like RPGs before it, but Mass Effect just had the style and the feel that I loved. ME2 brought that potential to the next level. It might not have been a traditional RPG, but the characters, renegade+paragon prompts, and the world building in that game was just so amazing to me at the time. And ME3, despite the all the ending stuff, brought this epic journey to a definitive conclusion. And the Citadel DLC... all the feels. I know ME has its faults, but it just pushes all the right buttons for me that it's flaws are very easy to ignore and I can dive into that universe and stay in it forever.
Renegade for life (not really, but c'mon, I had to say it)

I just laughed out loud at work and everyone is giving me a funny look. Totally worth it! :smile:
I posted this in chat yesterday, but I think it's appropriate:
Now spread the gospel...
It was awhile go but there's a scene in Grandia...
Spoiler: Justin has to set forth into the world and says a heartfelt good-bye to his mother...
And in Lunar Eternal Blue...
Spoiler: In the epilogue segment, just before you set off to reunite with Lucia, all your friends say good-bye to you...
@SIX2SE7EN @Hoken @pphair I was putting this off too. Got the whole series on GOG during the summer sale. It took some time but it's definitely grown on me (40 hours in now). I would suggest turning on "alternate movement" (introduced in patch 1.07?) and getting the autoloot mod (if you're PC). Alternate movement makes moving indoors a lot better and autoloot makes gathering items less of a hassle (allows you to skip a step when looting). I also downloaded a "Dark Souls" control config just for kicks.
I put off the Last of Us as well. I was FINALLY going to get it for PS4 but then they announced NEO and well... yeah.
I suppose my personal top 5 would be (in no particular order):
Snake (Solid or Naked): There's just something about David Hayter's performance that draws you to Snake as a person instead of a mindless killing machine. The writing for Snake's dialogue is also pretty hilarious at times.
Samus Aran: Other M aside, her character really comes from our own imagination, since she almost never says anything. To me, I always saw her as a Motoko Kusanagi (GiTS) type: no nonsense, takes command, compassionate, and occasionally playful. She's just so badass in every way.
Tali'Zorah: Watching her character grow from a novice adventurer to a leader of her people through the Mass Effect trilogy was pretty amazing. The final missions for her story arc in ME3 is one of my favorites of all time.
Karan S'jet: Homeworld is probably my favorite PC game of all time and she was the voice of fleet command. Her voice actress helped bring out a sense of both determination and desperation in her character that made you go "I can win... I have to win"
Nathan Drake: Nolan North, great dialogue, and just a likeable dude.
Honorable Mention: The Bentusi. Hearing this voice always brings a chill to my spine.
