You can't really play Fallout 3 and 4 without killing. However, you can play the shit outta New Vegas without killing.

[@johnnyknoneborg8907]

True

[@lordturtlemonk]

I like that all the related videos on the side are Tom Cruise.

Is anyone else watching this after tom cruise did the mummy

[@ryanr4156]

so...wait...Jack's logic is...if you are the best part of the movie but it was bad... u werent in a bad movie. flawed horrible logic. if you are in a bad movie then you were in a bad movie. no matter how good you did.

[@Hawkeye04300]

@Dibab Not true? His point was "The logic that an actor being great in a bad movie means you weren't in a bad movie is stupid", and you're saying "No because the actor might be good even if the movie's bad", you're literally saying his point verbatim.

[@goonsquad_official]

Gonna comment without even listening to the part where they talk about Tom Cruise (which is really smart to do), but 2 things come to mind already by just reading the title: *_Mission Impossible 2_* + *_Knight & Day_* I think a better statement would be _"Tom Cruise Has Never Made An Unenjoyable Movie"_

[@chasemac4043]

+Ben Dover Your the only person that understands that Cruise doesn't have bad movies some just have unenjoyable aspects. Knight and Day had Cameron Diaz which almost ruined the movie (Tom saved it) and Mission Impossible had bad characters

[@Eorzat]

Knight & Day certainly wasn't amazing, but I liked it because of Tom's character.

I've been keeping up with the off topic and RT podcasts but when I'm in the car, I like to go on iTunes and listen to the audio versions of the early podcasts.... When I heard Geoff tell the deer story for the first time, Gus was on the podcast saying how Geoff had called him first. idk I just think it's super cool when they bring up something that hasn't been talked about in literally years.

[@0kidbott0]

they really need to get Ray on off topic

[@carlosmandude661]

It happened

[@xxliviebeanxx8536]

It’s FINALLY happened.

[@megalomaniac2010]

That last part where Micheal was being sarcastic about thanking people reminded me that even if they are being genuine about thanking people, they don't even remember or bother to make a note of the people who give them modes to play or minecraft stuff to do.

[@TheWanderer_1]

I enjoyed the last samurai honestly.

[@JulisaRDavis24]

[@JulisaRDavis24]

+Austin JNS when in the video does Geoff throw shade

[@Simba4Thewin]

Anyone else notice Ryan seemingly remembering killing something when Jack brought up the bat?

[@Apprenticetothesith]

What I've learned in the first 5 minutes is that Jack has terrible taste in movies. Tom Cruise exclusively makes bad movies, it just depends on how far along the shit spectrum it is. I did enjoy "A Few Good Men," though, but that was mostly for Jack Nicholson's performance.

[@cryoian5288]

damn straight don't listen to anyone who likes tom cruise movies. they're blatantly overdone action and CGI movies with needless plots and only entertaining to non-speculating stupid overly American audiences

[@cryoian5288]

however top gun and last samurai may be exceptions

[@wu8183]

I think taste is too subjective to label as good or bad. If one can elaborate the reasons why they enjoyed a movie, how is it bad taste? Is it bad according to your taste and view on movies? Jack seems to have reasons for liking certain unpopular films that the majority of you dislike. I just think he has different taste than you, that's all.

[@cryoian5288]

Jack does have a majority taste but on the behalf of the minority, I think I'm just giving a minority report AYYYYYY

[@marsm9]

+Apprenticetothesith Jack just has different opinions about movies...but I will agree that absolutely does not make him right.

[@1TakoyakiStore]

Jack's reactions at the beginning of the podcast really makes me want to make a movie that has a dozen famous A-list actors and they all die in the first 5 minutes.

[@SpaceCows2997]

am i the only one who wants to die because of jacks collar?

[@epnlvr9790]

As soon as I read this, he fixed it, I'm scared now

[@1999Cardslover]

Ryan's deadpan at 30:58 made my heart happy

[@Clarebearhuehuehue]

Every time they say Ghost Protocol was "eh" I always get so mad

[@RowanJColeman]

An expansion of what Jack says, Tom Cruise has been in bad movies, but he is never bad in them. No matter what role it is he always gives it his all, he doesn't phone it in. That's at least respectable even if you're not a fan.

[@SwornP5]

+Sam Pitts the remake isnt

[@eddyking1225]

+MarkOfTzeentch I liked it

They could do an XCOM 2 Full Play through, that was awesome. Each of them have their own characters and they either drop out or start with a rookie whenever their guy dies.

why does the test have to be sponsor only [for the movie thingo]? why not test it on youtube and get a wider variety of comments and opinions instead of showing it to people who will give you the remarks you want.

[@megajamapalooza]

They probably want to give more credit to the people who pay them, which is good. It's not like they're taking existing content and putting it behind a paywall, they're making additional content for the people who pay

[@ryanrockstar16]

sponsors is probably the best bet plus it's rewarding for the people who spend money on them and and sponsors will give them responses that are accurate KZbin will complain no matter what

[@christopherhewett5898]

The whole show is Sponser-Only. An aim of 2016 for RT is that each department comes up with a new Sponsor-Only show. "Let's Watch" (tentatively) is that show for AH.

[@Darquan223]

When I was in my teens my friends and I used to play a game we invented at the local park called "Kill Ball." Basically we all had metal baseball bats and we would hit around a rubber kickball trying to get the ball past a certain point that was deemed a goal. I remember there were incidents where people accidentally got hit by the bats, mostly in the shins too, but the most vivid injury I remember as when a friend's younger brother got hit by a kickball. I believe he was trying to block and someone hit the ball with an amazing amount of force (the person who hit the ball was actually on a summer baseball team as well as the school one) and it smacked the blocker right in the face knocking him completely off his feet. I can still hear the sound of the kickball impacting him before it launched him backwards. lol.

If we're talking Free 2 Play, Hearthstone is one of the bests. You could do it tournament style, since you can challenge friends. I guess the only problem would be getting started if your brand new, since there is a tutorial you have to go through, and in order to unlock characters you have to level up a Hero.

In regards to the RTX Australia talk, despite the fact that you'll see previously asked questions at it, I really like the Founding Fathers panel. It's always nice to see the (mostly) original group together. I kinda felt bad hearing about how busy Matt Hullum is though, or at least how busy it sounds like he is. I remember someone asking at the panel what everyone's favorite game of 2015 was, which wasn't a bad question at all or anything, but I would've asked something like, "what games that came out 5 or more years ago do you guys continue to play on your own time, if any?" I think it's cool hearing about what game continues to last for what person. I know that it wasn't a very popular game, but I still play Far Cry 2 from time to time. I also know a guy who says he plays through one of the Megaman Battle Network games once a year or so (forgot which one in the series though). Oh, and Catch is my favorite RT short too. Also, I loved Ryan's humor in this video. Geoff: "It was Far Cry [4], Last of Us..." (naming games for Classic Multiplayer Week) Ryan: "Classics."
