[eliotcougar]

A lot of "free" Facebook games "sell power" at prices from $50 to as far as $500... Just imagine, $500 for a bunch of virtual items and some big stats...

[minethree58]

maybe its just cuz im used to it, but i much prefer the month/day/year system, but i have lived here all my life so maybe thats it, but if you honestly asked me, i wouldnt care if it was changed or not, so long as we have a dating system

[saintprawn]

@imtheboctilian everyone in the UK writes dates like that

[Hanleyman2]

TB is going to need the norman virus to take out the viking germs...then again, whos gonna rid TB of the norman virus?

[firehans22]

I live in America and I find the whole month/day/year dating system very stupid, but not as stupid as my government's refusal to switch to the metric system... because counting in multiples of 12 is MUCH easier than counting in multiples of 10.....*facepalm*

[stansfield8]

@firehans22 When it comes to computerized sorting, putting the day first is inane. The US format makes more sense in that regard, though yyyy-mm-dd would be better. But I'm with you on the metric system, and I envy the Celsius scale for its easy reference points. 0 °C - 100 °C is better than 32 °F - 212 °F.

[firehans22]

@stansfield8 That argument does make sense, but as someone who is majoring in Electrical Engineering and is taking hardware and programming classes I can assure you that there would be no problem if we use the yyyy-mm-dd system for programming and dd-mm-yyyy for everyday use. Programming is viewed as a different language almost anyways, and is usually done by very capable people. So I am confident that it would be no problem. I totally share your desire for the Celsius and metric system as well.

[minethree58]

@firehans22 i live here too, and i like the dating system but im with u on switching to the metric system, its annoying always having to switch from inches to centimeters or decimeters gets on my fucking nerves, especially since i travel alot and im not all that good with my math either.

[62f4mues]

This game is bad

[Blade8745]

Gun Bros is a great example of buying power. You can't get any good weapons with regular money, you have to slave yourself to get War Bucks, and the weapons for them are expensive still.

[prodevel]

I'm very appreciative of your comments on the game community as a whole. Thanks, TB.

[flameybadger]

Supermeatboy has been on sale so many times it won't be affected by it.

[Aiden1504]

[RockOwnzPop]

@Aiden1504 Its Serious Sam 3

[Aiden1504]

@RockOwnzPop lol hi jordan

[RockOwnzPop]

[leoleo1035]

@Aiden1504 Read description pal.

[joshlovescranking]

Hello, im a man in his early 80's. The other week i was diagnosed with BAD AIDS. i felt really depressed and didnt have anyone to talk to as i never had children. Luckily the local school sends kids round to keep people like me company. they sent round two 14 year old girls last tuesday. they were really nice and did some chores and stayed to chat with me. One of the girls kept saying she 'would help me however i wanted' i put two and two together so i came in her VAG hard. she died. deep shit.

[TurtTulStudios]

Does anyone know when Serious Sam 3 is coming out for consoles?

[whyCubey]

[suckmydollypeople]

I love the way he says " IT'S FRICKIN EPIC! as I'm concerned"

[imtheboctilian]

wow you are the only person i know that writes the same date as me. I live in america and i go from smallest unit to largest and everyone thinks i am stupid for it. its just cool to see someone ells write it like that too.

[WatzitmateV2]

@imtheboctilian You should move to Europe..... Or any other country, for that matter. we all write dates like that, its an American thing, of course, to be different and backwards.

[CakesnakeFilms]

@imtheboctilian all british people write it like that. woot for the UK!!!

[thekeirwilkins]

@imtheboctilian everyone outside of the US does it :D

[hazelcroft1]

@imtheboctilian The whole of the UK writes like it.

[rockswe]

@imtheboctilian I write it like that too! I have gotten some "wtf-looks" because of it... (I am from Sweden)

[rbagagli]

@imtheboctilian Almost the entire world but the US writes them this way, its not only TB or you.

[clearspira]

@imtheboctilian The US has a habit of changing everything for the worse.

[Sn00pzor]

@imtheboctilian You americans do that weird thing mixing all the numbers up here in sweden and possible other europen countries you go from smallest to largest it's easy to keep track on

[SparseS17]

@imtheboctilian it makes a lot more sense dosnt it?

[ninjaguysvideos]

@imtheboctilian yeah only US writes it month/day/year which is reallllllly stupid I dont know whom decided that - .-

[teebmjh]

1:18 transcribe audio 'sexy footage from my aborted fetuses' lol

[subcinericius]

13:37

[jammietoast11]

4:11 transcribe audio, 'and i purchase in gamecocks'

[markus8909]

Game???

[souLreav0r]

Anytime you talk about disgusting iOS business models you have to talk about Words with Friends imo.

[Dale1cool]

He says "ABORTED WTF IS".. Lol.. Fetuses, really?

[WAsucksblackducks]

it is 3 a.m. eastern time

[icefly20]

TB is the only voice that the subtitles get right.

[weobif]

Ok, in response on the first question.

Hard Lines, 1 dollar app.

In game money system, unlimited cash, 79.99

wtf

[chrisr1217]

Check out my vids guys on MW3

[Haydeos1]

I think people should oppose the whole buying power, you dont know whether it will end up on the popular triple A games like call of duty and battlefield. And that will suck..

[WlatPziupp]

@Haydeos1 It already did. Pre ordering Battlefield got you powerful weapons, but only in some areas.

Hell, Saints Row 3 has the octopus gun. You have to pre order or buy DLC for that don't you? That shit gives you allies.

It's happening everywhere. In small and bigger ways

[night4345]

@Haydeos1 yeah but most people don't care

[darkmyro]

i know this is sillybut i was distracted by the thought that serious sam used a cell phone underground that seems to me like it wouldn't work lol

[drawfiskeng]

I have also got mw3/bf3 commentarys on my channel. I am currently doing a dead island series. ZOMBIES!!!

In game cocks of cult... I'm sorry what?

[smackyhead]

Hey totalbisc, make a button so you can go directly to a question

[femaleminiwargamer]

@smackyhead he can`t see any comments posted here he has a add that blocks it but he has moderators that check here too

[mcSavagekilla]

Modern combat three=worst iOS game ever you can buy the fuckin kill streaks at the start of the match!! WTF

[ryanzwe]

4:11 transcribe audio.. Thats normal purchase in game cocks of cult?

[Foges584584]

So whats this game called in the background?

[xGetJynxd]

@Foges584584 There's a description for a reason.

[Foges584584]

@xGetJynxd Yeah i didnt even look for some reason, sorry..

[BassMusen]

@Foges584584 Serious Sam BFE

[Foges584584]

@BassMusen Thankyou. :)

[TheMitchman88]

i miss advent rising

[malekman101Xnerd]

Modern combat 3 to be exact

[TheDarkorin]

Transcribe audio actually gets a lot of what TB says correct... WTF... I guess TB's voice is just that awesome

[Cyberwaste138]

@TheDarkorin I was surprised too, but it knows the golden voice pretty well

[dr00p42]

a kid at my school, highschool makes 10's of thousands of dollars making app games. He is 17 an can pay for a house and makes more money than most adults, it's ridiculous.

[oldmanwithHemroids4]

@dr00p42 well good for him hope he gets you some thang good for xmas no need to be mad about it

[dr00p42]

@oldmanwithHemroids4 i don't think he'll be getting me anything for xmas. And I'm not mad about him, I'm mad about our fallen society where pointless apps pay the bills and and working 12 hours a day on a minimum wage job doesn't.... so yup probably a little ridiculous.

[DeadlyFredXXX]

I think the Introversion bundle was only selling for so low because frankly, most all of those games are kind of played out and pretty much everyone most likely already has them. The price climbed by almost a whole dollar once Dungeons of Dredmor was added to it but too little too late.

[St3v3z]

Transcribed audio is more entertaining than the actualy video lolol

[olliejmatthews]

@Niemtol Transcribe actually understands most of what TB says compared to others... But when it does get it wrong for TB it's really messed up. :L

[CipheredGamer]

I once thought that on my IPod I had a hack to get stuff for free (my dad had put in his credit card details). By the end of the month I owed my dad over 70 quid!

It was still pretty funny when I look back at it.

[mustapharium]

gush...........

[TheHarrisMan149]

I swear all he does is kill things?

[Maceman25]

@Niemtol omfg sexy videos from my aborted fetuses XD

[GamingGuru12]

ur voice helps me sleep at night

[skunkredhair]

@GamingGuru12 >.> creepy

[GameHero25]

4:11

Transcribe audio FTW! :P

[WoWplayerPwr]

in the cut seen towards he end the guy puts his phone up to his ear that he has a blue tooth on LMFAO!

[empty1388]

pay-to-win gaming makes me so mad... If any of you have heard of the company called Bigpoint, NEVER play there games, they are so rampantly pay-to-win it aint even funny

[trager94]

8:00 "Advent Rising was a good game." Did we play the same game?

[Metalmatt96]

i would by a game about Enders game the multiplayer possibilities between "guilds" would be amazing

[Teldara]

1:20 Transcribed Audio: Sexy Footage from my aborted fetuses.

[AGamerVids]

@Niemtol Not just 1:17, pretty much every second of every video ever with Transcribe Audio on >:3

[AGamerVids]

Question 1 makes me love A.V.A. even more. Every weapon is buyable with ingame money, but you can just buy the same guns at any rank with cash. It WOULD be OP (Example, RX-4 Storm with built in silencer whereas no other ARs can use silencers and still has good stats and have it already at Lv1), except A.V.A. lets skilled players wreck with the crap default guns, so it's really a moot point whether you have a fancy v_model or not.

[ZKoftherebellion]

TB can you pirate ss3 for your next WTF is so we can see the pink scorpion?

[bwjclego]

@ZKoftherebellion You think TB is going to pirate?!!?  Are you out of your mind? He pays for games, because he wants to support devs and be fair. You sir, must be new here.

[ZKoftherebellion]

@bwjclego >not realizing pirating wouldn't even matter because of the fact that he clearly bought the game already as he was playing it

I didn't know they let the special edu kids on the internet.

[electricimpling]

uplink is 10 years old

[hirostroud]

£5-10 per bundle, but generally i have most of the games. For example, the frozenbyte bundle i got only for frozen synapse, introversion only for aquaria

[cole109100]

i pay about $7.50 per bundle is that a good price for it

[sir1junior]

"Absolutely Stellar!"

[TeamMuffinFTW1]

Sexy footage from my aborted fetuses..............

[pyrix]

Since when has TB used British dating format? As far as I remember this date would have been 12/8/11

[xANTHQNY]

@pyrix BRITISH dating format? The rest of the world uses this format, its pretty much only america and canada that puts the month first.

[SouthPads]

@xANTHQNY Britain started it off, therefore, British dating. Britain also invented Global time.

[sike3000]

@pyrix maybe because he is british?

[TheTeeWall]

@pyrix Pretty much since always back to his Azeroth Dailies

[DrinkToIreland]

@pyrix Think about it... he's British....

[gastrozimirvox]

@Niemtol rofl

[bhylkzzz]

hey laser lips, ya mama was a snowblower

[x3ICEx]

Transcribe audio at 1:17 thinks that TB says: "sexy footage from my aborted fetuses"

What the fuck :)

[APWPerkins]

@Niemtol oh god

[strikermovies4u]

sometimes Im glad my parents control me alot, so the things in the first question do not happen, hell, I have to ask if I am allowed to buy a new part for my pc

[thetwocrazed]

If TB thinks infinity blade is repetative then Temple run challenges him to a repetativity-off!

[excalibr8]

Competitive multiplayer on iOS. . . I never thought i'd hear that sentence. It just seems ludicrous.

[degrimixpunk]

yay it was on my bday lol :D

well who cares :l

[roman11777]

You can't sound bad, you're Total fucking Biscuit!

[Falconoffury]

Secrets 0/17???!!! How could you not replay that?

[Norex7777777]

i was expecting a FUS RO DAH joke

[Rhaaaaa]

Finally I have something to do my kegels to. Need to dust off those old chaps a bit but i guess i will be able to lift mr moustach in no time. And then the sky will be my only limit.

[r0ck3t1337]

You did it for Matt's father soap. I can't blame you.

[PanozZz1996]

sexy footage from your aborted fetuses?wtf tb

[DeadlyFredXXX]

@PanozZz1996 "From my aborted WTF is" :P

[masteraxe]

Undertow was amazing i want it to come back around i miss playing multiplayer on that

[Zoonerd100]

The major thing about linux and even mac users paying more for indie bundles is, I would guess, because its the first time a lot of games are even available on those OS. So it's kind of worth more to them for that reason.

[Zoonerd100]

Damn, Serious Sam 3 looks good...

[ulkord]

sexy footage from my aborted fetuses... well...

[90arni]

Did he say "my name has been TotalBiscuit"?

[bezoro2008]

@90arni he always says that.

[Jamaicanskater]

SO GOOD TO HEAR TB AGAIN!!

[SarmonOflynn]

Anyone else miss the way TB used to cut down the dummies in the comments?

[7i13n]

@Niemtol HOLY SHIT! YOU SIR ARE AWESOME!

Thank you!

[AlexVSharp]

Would you mind sharing if the indie devs mail you? I'm actually rather curious about this as well.

[Ven183]

you do realise that buying goats is actually a bad idea. they destroy the ecology of the area

[shiksasuke]

@Ven183 i have 7 goats they have done no such thing

[MazariPL]

Hey TB, gotta say i disagree with around 50-60% you have said in this mailbox i guess probably because i'm an economist and you have talked a lot about stuff involving economics :) Still you were spot on on a few things :). Keep it up!

[ainumahtar]

@MazariPL Way to not specify what you disagree with...were you just trying to showcase the fact you are an economist or is your post intended as spam?

[MazariPL]

@ainumahtar Had i started to specify i would also need to follow up with reasoning behind disagreeing and comments are pretty limited. I'm not into typing a lot under comments.

[MMOTotal]

Mr Biscuit -

When is the next Imperial Agent video coming out, also some class guides would be awesome !

[torkel104]

TB you forgot to mention the Killing Floor free weekend!

[yoshidude7]

@torkel104 OH BOY :P

[Allan0112]

just played 8h of trine 2 its årsome

[AlienMagi]

can't wait until 9 pm!

[artr0x93]

Oh god they disabled the youtube homepage fix... the new homepage is crap

[mrjerrio1]

Ahh, Undertow. Got it for free on Xbox Live, bought the DLC for it. Bought the Introversion pack off Steam too couple months ago.

[arvetis]

Oh no, a homophobic fundamentalist hate-orifice won't get a video game based on the book that was written by Mormon committee which he took credit for.

*single tear*

[TheRealJulien]

@TotalHalibut You are the first person other than me that I can recall saying Advent Rising was a good game. I don't know what's up with everybody. Just because the console version had issues with the controls, everybody ignored the pretty amazing story and gameplay, and the PC version was perfectly fine... ... And they seriously stopped working on an Ender's Game game? What's wrong with them? Sure, it might be hard to do it, but that would have been amazing.

Are people afraid of good games?

[domokuns51]

Is it just me or did I hear TB say that they were going to make a videogame of Enders Game, as in the book. If you know that I am talking about you are awsome.

[Spaxuable]

You are complaining about people buying gold or weapons in a game to keep up or just have a nack at winning, yet you buy accelereted xp/ip. Thats the same god damn thing. Get over yourself man.

[MrWarbarney]

@Spaxuable you don't play lol do you... ip only gets you different heroes not uber mega heroes and runes which give a boost which is so tiny it will make almost no difference in a fight, and of course its not like its a ultra mega boost, if you play for 1 hour a day because your working non stop and somebody else plays 3 they will make more ip/xp than you, so theres a HUGE difference it would be like buying a mega hero you can only buy for real money who will beat any other hero you can get free

[sofawall]

@Spaxuable If you're below level 30 in LoL, you're matched with other people at or near your level. Hey look, faster xp gains no advantage over the people you're matched with! Getting IP allows you to unlock champions and runes. Champions are all, theoretically, balanced, and are free every so often. More IP just lets you have more variety, not power. Runes are the only place where you might be right, but you can play relatively little and have good runes for every character.

[messi996]

@Spaxuable Mate if you played LoL youd know that xp and up boost do not give you an in game advantage, runes are the only in game advantage it mite give you to be honest, and you dont need them till tanked, and you can have a full rune page at that level if you are not randomly spaming champions. Also you have to understand LoL bussiness model, no one is given an in game advantage for doing this, as you are matched with people of your elo anyway

[badgerbane]

@Spaxuable there is a difference in what you're saying. more xp is fine, it takes you to the better guns quicker if you didn't buy the games 'til later. however, buying a supermegagun that cannot be aquired through any other means? thats when it becomes unfair on those who wont/cant pay extra, and they are likely to get killed by a less skilled gamer just because he had the unbalanced DLC gun.

[lordShard]

I am surprised he didn't touch on the issue, that if gold from the official source is so expensive it reopens the door for gold farming and scamming.

[BLCKndYLLW]

Ios. Bhahahahhhahahahahaha

[PungPhooie]

thumbs up if you just downloaded shadow era

[I3loodyDeath]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!­! boom.

[Mmiitthh]

When you say, "Bundle" a lot It starts to sound funny!

[StevenPorl]

Finally

Some one thinks that advent rising is one of the best sci-fi games(or is or great not a piece of c*** the games awesome)

[WulvenGames]

Shadow Era = "damn good game"

Thanks for that, your check is in the mail. ;)

[Skullduggeryish]

love how many people ask what game it is, when he sais it at the start of the video, and is the top part of the desription

[RJTamm93]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH yourself... uh oh...

[godfatherscar]

Thumb up if you actually played Undertow.....Awesome!



[GayBaconStrips123]

@godfatherscar WHy do people still beg for thumbs up. Do you not get enough attention at home?

[godfatherscar]

@GayBaconStrips123 no, the point of it is to state that i am agreeing that Undertow is a great game and offering other people the opportunity to "thumb up" if they agree and have played it. You are just some high-school kid who thinks he knows every piece of knowledge in the world and that your opinion is more prevalent than anyone else. Attention has nothing to do with it. I asked people who agree with me to thumb up as to see how many people might have played it.

[rockindude30]

Aawww fuck the Enders game game has been cancled a year ago damn I loved that book sssoooooo god damn much and I dident hear bout this damn

[DXXDgame]

@MilkyMayo well immortal scorpians rock
