@johntdrake
Big thanks to @amboyes for his timing making my phone go CRAZY while I'm trying to finalize buying a car. Dealer thinks I'm a lunatic.

Dat new Sony money

 

[rudds]

I have to say though, seeing Brad tell Dan about the arrow at the bottom right at the end of the Mousecraft QL seemed a bit.....strange.
Usually Brad is the one who misses those things D

It's almost as though the person who's not playing and explaining the game can devote way more attention to noticing minute details on the screen!

 

[Tucah]

Glad Drake got a new job, Sony seems like a good fit for him.

 

[Nephrahim]

When is Sony just going to buy Giantbomb. They seem to be picking up everyone else they've touched.

 

[NumberThree]

Hi Brad :3

Spoiler

Tin foil hat: Amplitute KS was totally his interview process.

"You get Amplitude, we get Drake"

 

[daydream]

Good for Drake! Best of luck to him.

lol Brad <3

Cmon Brad don't always just respond to the negativity. You're such a jovial guy on quick looks and live shows.

Hey Brad I've noticed a lot of mobile games quicklooks in the last week. Is it a conscious decision or just a luck of the draw thing? To be clear I'm really not complaining, I'll always welcome more content, I'm surprised to suddenly see that much mobile stuff (especially after what you said on the podcast).

Also you guys should quicklook Civilization Rev 2.

Probably because we're in the midst of the summer drought and there's not much else coming out.

True, good point.

 

[Nephrahim]

They've talked about QLing games before and just stopping the recording when they realize it's just a crappy mobile game on PC.

I wonder if it's just that these mobile games have been better.

 

[MickeyKnox]

John Drake is basically charisma distilled, I can't imagine he'd have a hard time getting a gig wherever he wants.

 

[Lijik]

Cmon Brad don't always just respond to the negativity. You're such a jovial guy on quick looks and live shows.

I like to imagine Brad contains all of his negativity to this thread like some sort of Dorian Gray scenario.

 

[super-famicom]

Every town I create in Banished I name Barkerville. I can't not.

Thanks Brad and John Drake.

 

[Serra]

Hey rudds I need you to think of some excuse to play some Divinity coop with Vinny and stream it. Thanks.

Often, the PC versions remove any kind of iOS tropes we've come to look down on as kinda sleazy. Some good ones off the top of my head: Tiny Thief, Meltdown, Reaper, Year Walk (not that this had anything of the sort on iOS), Rymdkapsel, Kingdom Rush, etc.

 

[bemusedchunk]

man Psyduck is the coolest.
man Brad is the coolest.

congrats to Drake - he's gonna do great things there.
Playstation really has some well known folks in the gaming biz.

more Flight Simulators Drew.

I wanna see you push buttons.

I'm 32, have never driven, don't know or care about D&D, never had mustard, etc.. Not sure how that makes me sheltered, just have no interest in the stuff you might have done or are interested in?

It's not like I have an "interest" in driving, I just don't have the luxury to not drive. How you've been able to do it, I don't know. It's a pretty typical thing and it's not strange to be surprised someone hasn't. And in Dan's case, he specifically stated he picked places to live with the idea of avoiding highways in mind. So... It's not as if he just lacked the opportunity, he was going out of his way to avoid it. That's where the "sheltered" part comes in. I don't want to called him sheltered because of its negative connotations, but I can't think of a better word.

Also, this is to you and everyone else commenting on the D&D thing, I'm not into D&D either. I've never participated in a game, I've never even been in the same room as a game. But through living in American culture, I just know that it's a pen and paper game. Practically all depictions of nerds in media has them circled around a table playing D&D at one point. I didn't search this info out, I've just absorbed it through exposure to media. Not saying Dan needs to go read up on D&D, just a lot of people know it's a pen and paper game originally. And plus, this is only one part of his minute ignorance on things. Calling that bellows a turkey baster repeatedly, not knowing about Africa's involvement in WWII, not knowing what Shroedinger's cat is. They are all MINOR things, I've just noticed it. It makes me appreciate Brad's encyclopedic knowledge on weird stuff more. But still, Dan's great. Glad he's on the team.

If that's to scale, that's a pretty massive molehill.

 

[ArjanN]

Given the scale that molehill must be hundreds of meters tall.

I find it hard to disagree with this statement.

Giant Bomb Japan > Giant Bomb NY > Giant Bomb > Giant Bomb Chicago

Ehm, who works there? Didn't know there was an office there.

 

[Dragon]

Patrick goes into the Cards against Humanity office I think.

Right, Patrick. Forgot.

Dan tweeted he really wants to play Red Alert 2 for UPF. I hope this happens, i loved that game.

He should do a Bombastica of it as well. It's pretty cool having a new person with a love of new/different games, no offence to the guys but their tastes are kinda a known quantity at this point.

Giant Bomb Japan > Giant Bomb NY > Giant Bomb > Giant Bomb Chicago

Is Giant Bomb Japan 8-4 because if so agreed.

 

[Dany]

Can a mod delete the anime talk form the last few pages cuz...

God I hope so, was just talking to a friend about Red Alert 2 last week. Loved the dialogue of the units in that game. Couldnt figure out where to rebuy the game though

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Matt Kessler is Giantbomb Japan

Red Alert 2 is boss.

I freaked out when the installer voice said I had 60 seconds to put in the CD-key.

So young. So dumb.

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Here's a picture of the staff:

Can't believe they hired Black Yoshi when they could have hired the best person for the job, whoever that may be.

So good

 

[daydream]

Watched some episodes of Kindaichi. As a Conan fan, the solution to the first case was pretty obvious. Don't know who did it first, though. Anyway, show is right up my alley, thanks again for the recommendation, sub_o. Gonna look for the mangas, as well.

White Yoshi is straight-up refusing to accept the situation. I never noticed the mutual animosity till now, dang.

Hell (March) yes!

Ugh no. It's literally just the first Civ Rev with better graphics.

 

[bemusedchunk]

Yet another office filled with straight male Yoshi's.
Would it KILL them to hire just one female wheelchair bound yoshi?!

 

[Megasoum]

Ugh no. It's literally just the first Civ Rev with better graphics.

Bah there's zero coverage of the first game on the site so it's not like it would go to waste.

 

[Archaix]

Didn't they do a video of it for something? I could have sworn that I saw a video for that game involving Ryan at one point.

 

[Yaboosh]

It was in the Civ Retrospective at least.

 

[Megasoum]

Ah didn't know that. There's no video attached to the Civ Rev page in the wiki anyway.

 

[Lunzio]

Drake is a supreme pick-up

 

[infinityBCRT]

yeah but im confused about why you are saying it should be better than the original consoles because it's using hdmi?

older consoles have input lag issues on HDTV's because they don't understand how to process a 240p signal correctly.
