But that was the best development in the series so far.
I don't disagree! It's just that I wholly understand that the players would be hesitant when Law's spontaneity winds up getting punished so severely. There were some moments of that show that I wanted to pause and take screenshots of Huber's face -- he looked like he was hurtin' bad!
Maybe Huber should, I dunno, try removing the grain if it was bothering him? Or maybe not shove grain into a wound when it didn't work the first time?
It's no slower than the start of TTA for me. I think it's more to do with trying to get into character still. WORKING OUT THOSE KINKS.
Progression wise they haven't really made it past that first room and they're 6 hours in already. I'm so ready to have some new plot elements or characters introduced rather than them ending up in another random skirmish battle.
Yeah more character interactions and lore will be really good.
Maybe they can become grain merchants in memory of Lars.

Brandon was just sitting there politely and thinking "WTF Ben why did you just delete the demo?!" lol.
My jaw dropped when Kyle said that. I don't understand why they haven't invested in a proper SD card. About an hour of HD footage, they must be working with what, 4GB???
Unless they're recording in raw 16bit RGB which would run up to a TB, yeah.

What memory card is Ben using for Frame Trap?

Lol I legit did this for a game. Can't remember which. Meant to close the application but hit delete without knowing. Was super confused when it was gone from the XMB. Haha
I've done it at least twice. One time for Diablo 3 and all of it's 60GB of data. So annoying and too easily done!

I just noticed that we're not getting a FrameTrap during the P5 release announcement + most likely new news(given how little we know) week.
Sadness...
Sadness...
Do we know when they record Frame Trap? If the schedule follows as it is, the event would 4~5 days before the 3rd episode of Frame Trap. I think it's actually good timing.
It could also be possible doing a live reaction stream, if they have the time.

Maybe we will get another apology video from Not Ben Moore for heresy.
Altho the game didn't end up coming that year lol
Think the first one was over the weekend before the Monday if I'm remembering right. I wouldn't do a live reaction stream for hours of Atlus trolling though! Fair play if they do, I'll watch, but mannnn.
I found the comment chain on YouTube that seems to have sparked it. It was the most downvoted comment (at the bottom anyway) and both people involved have apologised so hopefully it doesn't get to him for too long.

Damn you're right for some reason I forgot we're in the week where they don't record. Which lead me to the totally wrong assumption that they don't record next week.
4-5 days is indeed pretty good.
Wohoo.
In theory livestream would be cool but then I remember that it might just be Atlus trolling for a good amount of time + I don't think they're is an English stream anyway?

Or don't read YT comments. That is like knowingly walking into a minefield.
Make a vlog out of it.

I want to see Ben finish the entire Nioh alpha and maybe dragging in Huber or something to play along. It will be fun to watch before the alpha is over.
Yeah, Huber definitely needs to stream some Nioh
Can't even imagine Huber playing this game, it will drive him insane.

Whats this about sd card issues for the podcast? No podcast this week?
No, they just ran out of space, had to switch cards and then go back and do part of the show over again.

If he's down for it, I'd love to see him finish the demo. He seemed to be having a good time last night and it was kind of infectious ^^
I still wanted him to continue his no death run though of Dark Souls 3. Was he ever going to do that again, do we know?
There is a podcast, they just went over the space and had to re record part of it.

Oh ok cool
I think it would be great to have Ian, Brad, Huber, and Ben sit down to have a group "Just Played" style discussion about the demo after it's over. I'm assuming they would all play it since the initial impression it gave was basically "Samurai Souls." I think it would make a great video to see what everyone thinks of it, as there seems to be plenty to talk about. Everything from the mechanics, how it compares to souls/bloodborne, difficulty, tech issues, controls, world/lore, and so on. Plenty of stuff to talk about that could make for a cool hour long discussion. The question is if they can even fit that sort of video into their current schedule.

yeah. I'd never heard of the game before yesterday, and now I'm stoked to get it (and a PS4) when it comes out. not sure I'd be feeling that way if I'd just seen a random twitch stream/youtube vid.
I always hold the PS button (for a few seconds) and close my games/apps via that menu (you can also see which games/apps are open like that). No danger in deleting them like that.
What I have done quite a few times is trying to update a game (which it almost never does automatically and I don't know why) and starting the game by accident (because the menu in the library is different then the menu on the startscreen)
They should indeed make changes to how this whole thing works imo.

The new Frame Trap episode looks like the textures of their faces didn't load lol.

This Frame Trap episode is running on Unreal Engine 3.
No spoilers but I'm very excited for you guys to see whats to come
Hopefully it's not for some of the comments in here, most seemed pretty constructive in tone, whether someone agrees or not.
Anyway, the campaign is fantastic so far, so i wouldn't give them too much weight, if i was Ben.
It's a bit like Twitch chat, sometimes it becomes unbearable, and you just have to ignore it and try to move on.
Yes, listening to criticism is ideal to grow, but at the end of the day, it's Ben's show, and people tune in to watch Ben's campaign (and the other guys, ofc.) not some other commentators'.

Anyway, finally watcher the podcast, so funny having Kyle say that it was a slow news week, that was really unfortunate timing.
I still enjoyed the in depth talk about coming games though, even if i'm not particularly excited for anything past Uncharted 4 and FFXV, at this point (given that they delayed Zelda, and that Nier will not be out in 2016).

I haven't really followed the discussion all that much, so whatever I have to say might not be relevant to what has been said at GAF. Regardless, it doesn't matter whether or not a comment is constructive if it essentially boils down to "Ben should do this" or "Ben should have done that". That's backseat DMing, no matter how polite it is. Ben clearly knows what he's doing, so I can imagine how draining it must be on him to see a bunch of people he doesn't know try to second-guess his every word and action, good intentions or not.
I see nothing wrong with expressing an opinion politely.
Of course, if your opinion isn't taken into consideration (for whatever reason, no explanation is owed to you) and you keep beating that drum, then it becomes a problem.
When you create a work of art, you're going to have critique (good and bad), that's how it works.
But i do understand that it can get annoying to have that every single episode, and especially if it comes from Youtube comments, since people tend to be particularly arrogant in that space.
Again, my advice is to always keep in mind that people tune into TTE because it's Ben's and EZA's show, they want what Ben and EZA create, not what is screamed in the comments or elsewhere, however insistently.
So he should basically disregard it.

Under normal circumstance that might be true, but when addressing a DM there are different rules of etiquette in place. If you're running a game and one of your players points out that you're using the grapple rules wrong (to pick a random example), the DM has every right to be annoyed as he's supposed to be in control of the game and its rules, to the point of breaking them for reasons he shouldn't have to explain, and the player's comment becomes disruptive and irritating. It's backseat DMing, when the right thing to do is to stay silent and possibly take it up in private between sessions. If this kind of disruption happens regularly, it gets much worse.
When a complete stranger who is invited to observe a game publicly says the DM is using the grapple rules wrong, he's stepping out of line. This is not okay, and it's a rare DM who'll find it to be acceptable behavior.
Liked Ben's Nioh stream too, he should chill at Brandon's place more often.
Really cool to see awesome artwork being made. Can't wait to see that Charizard
