Thanks for the heads up! And thanks to Damiani for streaming, we really don't have big cons here in Finland that often. So it's nice to get a tour like this.
Edit: Though at the same time the crowd reminds me why I wouldn't really want to go myself even if there were!

100% I love the small stuff.
The fact that someone needed to ask that is the dystopian part. The EZA part is because they are often pro-corporate.
Where I live games don't necessarily get cheaper at most retailers. However gray market is sometimes crazy cheap even day one.

History's a point of appeal, but not the only one. There were a lot of people who really wanted a modern day Assassin's Creed, back when people cared about the narrative of that story. Of course, that time has since passed. And Watch Dogs kind of ate up that market anyway.
Kyle's idea of assassin-shanking stereotypical New Yorkers is pretty appealing though...
I wanted that as part of a game, where both the past and present took place in the same city and had similar gameplay.
He said he'd go dark for a couple of months in the pitch, which is what is happening.
Yeah. When he stops streaming PokePark 2 is around the time it should be done as well, since I think he wants to do it all in one go.
Oh right, completely forgot that tidbit. Just got reminded about that pitch after rewatching an episode of TFB (RIP The Final Bosman & Bosman at Home).
Anyway, will be interesting to see what he's working on.
That and then once that's all filmed, his new Friday stream of him learning how to develop a game also has me intrigued.

Don't know about an arc or anything, but there's clearly some craziness happening if you just want to catch up on the last few eps.
hmm maybe i'll give that a shot. i'll add it to my eza backlog
Woah, 'Philip Dollarfield says screw you to the Princess' is happening even though Kyle's kickstarter failed?
You should go for it. You've got a bunch of great vids to watch, nothing wrong with that.

The manga
Eek, that's over $400 to catch up on... unless there's some sort of subscription service for it or something. I don't read comics so not too familiar with it

Well digitally they just released them in comixology and had a buy one get one free deal, which unfortunately has expired. But yea i didn't say it was cost effective. Barns and nobles does but one get one free deals for print versions

The manga would be best. The new anime that covers arcs past the Golden age are awful. Dark Horse just started releasing them digitally as well so you could just work your way through slowly if you don't want to drop a ton on it atm. Plus you can wait until there is a sale, the other day all the volumes were half off digitally.
Definitely worth the read (and the price)!
Well for one i buy most of my games on PC, and rarely directly from Steam (which takes forever to go down in price nowadays) so return it isn't an option.
Plus on PC especially (but also true on console now) is best to wait and see how much patching a game actually needs, before being nice and playable.
Really, there is no reason to buy a game on D1, aside from either hype (which wanes off fast once you're past that release day hump) and maybe for online games, to have that big active community (but i rarely play multiplayer games).
Playing a game even a year later, will have no impact on things like graphical quality, it's not like you're playing a 2007 game now.

Is Jones' shirt fan-made, or is that for sale? Because I would definitely buy that.
That ending shot is impossible to gif correctly. We need to get the entire fade to black.

I always have to laugh when fan-made merch they wear looks way better than the stuff in the store
They've said from the beginning that they don't want to use fan designs until they figure out a way to fairly compensate them, but yea....
still no must be nice shirt :'(
Check your local library for it.
Are you also going to do a Round Two with clips from the various FT, Podcasts and impressions videos?

Yeah... I'm still waiting for podcast betting team shirts that would hopefully feature the betting team mascot on them with a quirky/jolly design(red eagles, purple platypi, green lizards). I'd buy that. One day maybe.

I agree in regards to PC and Steam but im a pure single player console gamer. Have no interest in PC gaming for various reasons. Main one being there's always problems from day one and im not waiting months for the developer/publisher to fix the problems just so I can play the game.
As for not buying on day one, that depends. I'm not a collector so once im finished with a game, I trade it right in. At $60 retail, the trade in value will be higher especially since it's a newer game. If I wait like I was doing a few years ago when games hit $40/$32 GCU, I would end up paying more than I am now and add to my backlog which im no longer doing.
Too many games, not enough time and spending almost $1000 last generation on digital games alone on 44 games total 27 of them never being completed and/or even played. And this doesn't even count all the physical games I purchased, never completed and/or played and then traded in. All of this made me become more strict and set guidelines for myself simply because what's the point in buying/owning a game if im never going to play it? It basically becomes a waste of money.
Personally, I just changed how I am with gaming this generation compared to last generation. Plus, im done having backlogs for this generation and the future. Too many games from last generation and earlier generations that I simply never completed and/or played and most likely never ever will simply because one I move on to the current generation and sell the hardware from the previous generation, I don't go back.
Recently, I finished four psn/indie games in a week and knocked them off my backlog. Just the other day, I finished the first two expansions for Mafia III which took only a day each. Next weekend will be the third and final expansion for Mafia III.
After that, I should have Injustice: Gods Among Us from GameFly. I'm interested in Injustice 2 but wanted to play the first one first because if I can't get into it since I haven't played a fighting game since PlayStation, I won't bother with the sequel. However, if I do get into it and complete, now only will I also play and complete the sequel but it will become my "fighting" franchise. I get to add a genre I haven't played in generations from a franchise that seems and looks to be real good and since it comes out once every three or four years, it won't be overdone or overstay it's welcome.
After that, I have my entire gaming schedule setup. Matterfall and Uncharted: TLL in August, Knack 2 (gamefly) and Ratchet and Clank (gamefly) in September. The Evil Within 2 and Wolfenstein 2 in October, COD: WWII in early November followed by backlogged games Shadow of War and AC Origins rounding out the remainder of 2017.
In short, my main goal is to not do what I did last generation and earlier. Buying games for them only to sit in my backlog and never be completed and/or played. Just no. That's the main reason why I buy games day one or pre-order them (especially if there's a $10 bonus and im buying the game anyway) so I can play and complete them and once finished, trade them in while at the same time, not increasing my backlog.
The "actual" Week 24 videos start now (well, tomorrow), three parter (Mon, Wed, Fri). I've decided that any conferences that is covered by the allies in a group will likely end up getting its own video while the rest of the week's content ends up in the normal videos of the week.

Didn't know about comixology, I'll look into that.
Forgot about the library, haha. I'll look there as well.

Manga prices for long series are brutal, and frankly really stupid. Most people (citation needed... but not really) just pirate stuff because $200 for fullmetal alchemist or $400 for berserk are just nonsensical prices, especially for digital.
Library is the best bet if you want to keep it legal.
FWIW, if you do want to pick up a few berserk volumes digitally, I think they're a little cheaper on amazon than on comixology. You can still read them on comixology regardless
It's Sunday dude. Try again tomorrow.

Ben said before he left on vacation it was showing up later in the week
Yeah, but it's not on the schedule.
Alright. Sucks for me, cause I wanted to listen to it during a flight on tuesday.

Oh look another group stream where a Nintendo game will win. Even though FirePro wrestling would be a much better group stream game. Local co-op, can do customize characters, etc.
I'd love to be proven wrong. But we know how these votes usually go
