I liked Scoops and the Wolf but that was about it. He does have his moments on the couch in classic UPF but as someone who came on the site just shortly before he left, I can't say I miss him all that much.

I agree with Alex, I really like the idea of games like 12 Minutes and Uncanny Valley that takes place in a pretty small area (12 Minutes is obviously much smaller than something like Uncanny Valley), but with a lot of stuff to do and a lot of choices. Uncanny Valley looks really interesting.
No he isn't, it is also possible he will miss E3 for the first time since he was a teenager.

it is. the combat gets slightly better when you buy more moves, and even though the countering system seems to be largely luck-based, it feels pretty good when you pull it off. it's a decent game.
minor complaint though, the lip-syncing is done to the english dub but the jp acting is... more appropriate? certainly more over-the-top, which is kind of what you want from a game like that.
Boo! I was hoping he would come on one of the night shows
Nah. I doubt they will say anything more about it until they announce it.

we're hoping that something will get mentioned on the BLLSL and, given that they're usually really good at getting ahead of these things and shutting them down before people get their expectations out of whack, their silence regarding this seems to suggest that we will indeed hear about the new hire during the BLLSL.
When he moved things really changed.
Plus after the hiring controversy, gamergate saga, and the Max Tempkin story it always felt like controversy was following him.
Or the silence could mean that they'll not say anything until they announce it. I'm leaning towards that. I haven't really seen much speculation coming into BLLSL outside of this thread that would need to be shut down.
I doubt they'll say much about it this BLLSL. I expect more of a low key announcement.
Gonna be in the New York office, so not an editor at large or anything like that.
I just hope its somebody who can work on site with them.
I'm all for smaller but more dense worlds. It's sort of gotten to the point where large landmasses makes my eyes glaze over since it would be largely filled with a bunch of nothing.

It's just all style and no substance so far really, but there is so much styyyyyyyyyyyyle it becomes substance at some point.
Yeah, agree with you there.

well, they announced well before e3 that the new hires would not be part of the team until after e3 so there is a precedent where they tend to temper expectations before they get out of hand.
so they havent done that.
and what's the purpose of the BLLSL live? to convince folks to sign up for premium accounts by telling you about new features they have in the works.
and where's there a lack of premium features? NY.
and why would they wait to announce the NY hire for the BLLSL? Because now that they have the new hire, they can push the fact that your membership will support premium features coming out of NY.
So BLLSL is about getting more premium members, NY hire is going to allow GBEast to do premium features, you announce your NY hire on the BLLSL as part of your attempt to push more memberships now that GBEast can produce premium features.
your honor, i rest my case.

I really hope Norm and Will drop by the BLLSL, maybe with an assortment of As Seen On TV products.

Will has continued his ascent (descent?) to become the most San Francisco dad in the world!
Weird in a good way, though! They never had a handle on their segments, and Ryan just prodded Will ceaselessly. I miss those days.

Still waiting for Warren Spector to deliver on One City Block.
Those were dark times.I dunno, I think given the context that "thanks Obama" already had before Swery, it could already be pretty funny.
I also hope this thing kills on PC, because all that talk last year from Swery made it seem it didn't do super great on Xbox One.

I like to think that swery is the opposite of a weaboo. A japanese man obsessed with western culture as opposed to a western man obsessed with japanese culture.
You need nothing in order for places to seem real.
Otherwise its packed like an amusement park.

I will never get people's obsession with toast.
Toast is just burnt bread.
Toast is just burnt bread.
It's possible that it can be done. I loved New Vegas and its wasteland, which was ironically lively for a wasteland.
Plus I'm not looking for real, I'm looking for interesting.
It might seem more realistic, but inserting nothingness into a game sure doesn't make for a better game.

It takes a floppy mess and turns it into a crisp, delicious side.
It might be better to say it's carefully burnt bread.

huh, apparently Access Games has full ownership of D4 IP. I thought MS had some stake in it. I guess that means that there's a good chance it'll be on multiple marketplaces on pc, if not just Steam.
I really hope it sells well.

I hope Jeff plays Brutal Doom and has an emperor's new clothes rant where he points out that it's a glorified joke mod that totally doesn't understand why Doom 1 and 2 had such good combat and that would be okay if people didn't act like it was this genuinely amazing game that replaces the original
also the guy who made it is a huge scumbag who loves racist jokes, harassing people online, and gets banned from doom forums for screaming YOU'RE JEALOUS OF MY SUCCESS whenever anyone critiques brutal doom

I dunno, I had a feeling that Jeff kind of appreciates the long history of silly-ass Doom mods/TCs/map packs and all that. He seemed to enjoy the general clusterfuck of messing around on Zandronum.
shame about the BD guy, I think it's a fun mod.

I'll give one exception in the grilled cheese sandwich, because the cheese gives the bread enough moisture to not ruin it.
Jeff would probably hold his own better on CBB but Dan is more likely to somehow make it onto the podcast randomly.
If they are going to play it they should wait for the v20 release. This version adds a lot compared to the current one.
Absolutely. I love it when non-Americans do Americana in general, especially the Scandinavians. It can end up absurd, a good satire or just plain cool.
I thought I was the only one who remembered that!
Like GTA!?
