You guys are weirdly bitter about a website you never visit.

They are lovers jilted by Austin Walker.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

I'm glad we have come into agreement. Now we should get ready for tonight.

I need some drinks first.

 

[Antiwhippy]

You know nothing about my browser history!

Oh I am deeply familiar with your browser history.

 

[Curufinwe]

What is this "Waypoint" you youngins keep referring too?

Way to miss the point.

 

[Rhaknar]

so I've been out of touch the last few months, this Abby lady is on GB East side I assume? IS she ever on quicklooks / bombcasts and stuff or is she just a tech person like Jason (except Jason IS on quicklooks and bombcasts I guess)

Yes she's a video producer. Though she has been on some video content. She's also on the beast cast. She's great.

Will: "Did you guys learn any important lessons?"
Ben: "They shouldn't let the public in."

Ben's a total hater.

 

[Empty Space]

Didn't we say the same thing about Austin Walker too?

It became very clear to me very quickly that Giant Bomb for Austin was just one step in the road for him. I didn't think he'd be out the door in the span of a year, but I knew he wasn't going to stick around the way Drew did.

Ben is right in this case.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Wait, is there a video with will?

 

[kingofthedead45]

Wait, is there a video with will?

No he's on Abby and Ben's e3 Podcast thing

 

[Xeteh]

Wait, is there a video with will?

He's on My First E3 Episode 4.

[Antiwhippy]

Ah alright, cool. Just woke up and not sure what to catch up on.

 

[- J - D -]

Ben is right in this case.

Abby disagrees!

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Abby disagrees!

It's time to fight then.

 

[Hawk269]

Have they had their annual Phil Spencer interview yet? Last years was great, relaxed environment and Jeff asking some good questions.

She is like Jason. She is usually on beastcast and GBE playdate but she does all the tech stuff like Jason which is why you don't see her during the conferences.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I watched most of the Splatoon tournament today and really enjoyed it. It's much easier to follow than a lot of other competitive games.

 

[Iksenpets]

no

abby is pure and loyal

she will never touch waypoint

Of course not. Because Polygon is the obvious Abby betrayal destination. You all know it deep down.

 

[Infinite Justice]

those 2 are killing it with the thumbnails

 

[BlackGhost]

Ben and Abby are great

 

[BTA]

Just saw the phrase "+Bowser's Minions" and I think my brain went on hold for a few seconds before it clicked that it was just entirely unfortunate phrasing in a game title and not indicating a 3DS companion game to Rabbids.

 

[Data West]

USA wins at Splatoon

USA USA USA

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

USA wins at Splatoon

USA USA USA

Dudes started the tourney 0-3, then were like "Just kidding we're good at squid game."

 

[Ketch]

You're my attorney
My judge and jury

I'm feeling guilty
So lock me up and throw away the key.

Not yet, but check out the My 23rd E3 Podcast real quick

Imagine Mario + Rabbids vs Bowser + Minions

This mario game is a deep rabbit hole of weirdness. Mario is clearly on some LSD trip. Also r
evil wedding planners.

Also hinting that new donk city is the city from the OG Donkey Kong. DEEPEST LORE!

 

[Twin Tails]

this is the most waypoint content on giant bomb

 

[Sword Of Doom]

Ben and Abby are great

Recovered from $499?

 

[Death Metalist]

Kudos, I wouldn't be able to deal with the low blood sugar during all the E3 excitement.

It just so happens that Ramadan this year is in June so, yeah. Apart from the first week it's been alright but man that first week was rough especially since the sun here goes down somewhere around 9PM. Back in Kuwait it's usually around 6:30PM or so.

My First E3 Episode 4

So fucking good.

The OG DK music is in the theme.

 

[Incandenza]

This Ben+Abby pod is so fucking good.

Ya know. Maybe Microsoft is fine with not "winning" and want to kick back and do the Nintendo thing of selling in the low tens of millions of consoles with a passionate fanbase and turn a consistent tidy profit.


Thats fine. I expect them to be all blood thirst but instead they are chill and all like " you can system link a Xbox One and the OG Xbox and play crimson skys multiplayer now. We cool?". I think we are cool?

 

[Mr.Mike]

She's been on all the Beastcasts since she's joined, and she's done a quick look.

 

[BlackGhost]

I agree with Abby. Ppl shit on motion controls, but I like motion controls....

Spoiler

or atleast I generally like the idea, I was happy to see Switch still had them....

I don't see microsoft having the same first party power of nintendo in order to keep that fanbase though.

 

[The Technomancer]

Okay the Waypoint radio impressions of Mario+Rabbids have sold me on that game. Rob has an anecdote around kiting enemies into range of a Chain Chomp that sounds really neat

 

[Death Metalist]

Again, the thing that more people should be talking about:

MARIO ODYSSEY THEME

She's been on all the Beastcasts since she's joined, and she's done a quick look.

Also Dan, Alex, Vinny & Abby all playing multiplayer games together. Premium though.

 

[Ashby]

Abby's improv chops really come through on these My First E3 podcasts.

[Megasoum]

Are they starting earlier this year? I feel like it was more around 11pm EST before?

 

[EvilChameleon]

It always amazes me that they do this whole operation out of a hotel room. Every year.

Does Microsoft have a passionate fanbase?
