Is there a crossover in time of the The Game Awards and UPF?
They could do an impromptu "talk over" stream if so.

I remember when they did a stream and started watching the Konami Transfarring thing.
I think UPF will finish before Game Awards start. UPF starts at 11:30PM GMT and lasts for 1 and half hrs - 2 so finishes at 1 - 1:30am UK. Game waards starts at 2AM here UK.
This is too much for me right now.

Thanks Dan, Danny and Paul for cheering me up a little tonight! Super fun podcast.
To be fair, ignore the crown dependencies and the British Isles. The British Isles is just a group of geographic islands, and the other is not important for simplicity.

Jesus, the mafia treat dead bodies better!
Very creative.
Isn't Island Inis in Irish?
all the islands off the west coast of Island begin with Inis
Inis Orr
Inis Boffin
Inis Turk etc

Huh. I always though Wales was just like a county in England.
Get your shit together Brits. Pack it all up into one thing like America. We only have states. You're either a state or your not. Well, except for the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands, and Guam, and American Samoa, Northern Mariana Islands, and I guess Wake Island too since it is populated as well. But other than that, if you're part of the US, you're a state. Simple.

There are no Postal or ZIP codes in most of Ireland (outside Dublin and Cork), the Postman just knows!
I have relation that live in Muckanaghederdauhaulia (that is a real place)

Ériu probably isn't etymogically related to Inis, which does mean "island". It originally probably meant "fertile", coming from an earlier "fiwerjo", stemming from PIE *piHwer- with extensions, a stem for fertility and richness (both in people and in objects like soil).

My first UPF is coming up! Being premium fucking rules - I feel like I've already gotten my money's worth out of it so far, and I've only been onboard for a little less than a week.
It says on the site it starts at 5:30 though... is that eastern time? Is this going to overlap with the VGAs?

it's your local time, which I assume is central
I know this is quite a vague description, but I can't remember the name of a certain game for the life of me, and I THINK Brad has tweeted about it in the past.
It was an indie game, only currently coming to the PC, in first-person, I think you were like a sort of climber, and there were those hut things in the mountains which people use to communicate by lighting them on fire? It had a funky art style too.
Does anyone recognise this?

And you've also got access to a huge backlog of great content that's locked behind the premium membership. When I first jumped in (Around the time Brad was playing Demon Souls) I spent hours and hours just watching old UPF's and "Random PC Games". Good times.

How very nice of them to adjust it accordingly! I never set my time zone, but I guess they just stalked my IP address. I approve.
Yeah, it's awesome. I have a desk job, and the past couple weeks have been incredibly slow - I've been plowing through some Metal Gear Scanlon to pass the time at work, and listening to the power bombcasts on my commutes.
<3 you, GB

it probably won't teach you very much about the history, but The Wind that Shakes the Barley takes place during the war of independence and is a great friggin movie. of course there's always Michael Collins too.
A Story About My Uncle?
Keyser Soze
Member
Michael Collins tells a somewhat fictionalized tale, but it would be good to get an overview of stuff, and is a good movie too...
It wasn't that :/
Firewatch?

What is Firewatch?
That's the one! Thank you! I really hope this gets announced for PS4 too, maybe something will be said tomorrow at the PlayStation Experience.

No offense, but just about everything in that description of Firewatch is wrong

Really? I took my description from the first trailer I saw of it. The hut bit is wrong, but I knew there was fire somewhere in it!

Dan's dad talking about the Blarney stone being why Irish people could suck their own dicks was glorious and quick wit. Good stuff.

Yeah! You're basically a dude in a tower in the middle of a forest making sure people know if there's a fire. Thus, you're firewatch.
Yeah, I think it looks fantastic! Really hoping it comes to consoles too.

It sure does, though being made by the Idle Thumbs folks it's almost a sure buy even if it looked bad. Seems like a cool immersive sim type of game and I fucking love those.
