What if Jeff is your dad?
:O
That's probably not gonna happen, but it opens the possibility for guesting on each other's podcast if they want to.
I can't see much of a difference.

for some reason, the 60fps youtube videos of BEAST QL's seem to look better than the native GB player to me

I could be imagining it, I guess. But the compression artifacting is less obvious to me?

There is no perceivable difference from the viewers end for this cross coast video. Audio is perfect, no lag, no extra over talking I'm not sure if it adds a ton of overhead for setting up for a video but from an end product standpoint, I notice no downside to this new format. It's actually pretty exciting, Can't wait for the next flight club.
Maybe we can get a Vinny/Dan QL soon! And the return of Jeff/Vinny! Hope they do some of these fairly frequently.

Cross coast QL was really cool, couldn't notice any lag at all.
Jeff/Vinny take advantage of this.

I only want a Vinny/Dan QL if it's an adventure game.
if only to see what a frustrated Vinny would look like.
outside of that one time they made him mad during that UPF segment where they ignored him.
which is why he bought tickets that very day to go to NY/NJ

I'd be nice but I can't see them doing it simply because of the 3 hour time difference and Vinny being a dad.

Yeah, a cross coast podcast isn't happening. They seem to be going in the direction of two separate podcasts, which makes sense. Some guesting if the technology is good enough to allow it is probably the most realistic option.
I think we can all agree the bombcast is missing Vinny. Unlike Jeff he really seems to have an optimism about video games that hasn't been crushed by reviewing every mass market game every year.
I just hope the new person they bring in has some knowledge of sports games or an area different from the current crew. Always nice to have wide variety of tastes on the site.

Jeff is wrong to not like Style.
Yeah, it's pretty impressive. Well done, duders.
I hope the new hire's speciality is anime and the podcast is just GBE discussing an episode or two of DBZ every week.

So today I finally lost my patience with a few of the GB guys, their lack of F1 and racing game knowledge is frustrating.
I've been following Alt+F1 for a while, and I do love that F1 has such a presence on the site, but nearly all the 'facts' told and broad statements (well, more like assumptions) Danny tells - and worryingly, to educate Drew on the sport - are just so far from the truth it's driving me insane.
I have a soft spot for Drew but in the podcast (and the quick look) today he's said he thinks DiRT Rally is the proper sequel to DiRT 1... ugh. And then we have Jeff playing Project CARS with a controller and saying it's basically Forza for the PS4.
I don't want to be that guy emailing in and correcting people, just needed to vent somewhere haha.

"Forza for the PC" was almost a powerful enough sentence to make me buy Project Cars
why are you trying to tell me otherwise

still holding off for a cheapo GOTY collection of Destiny, preferably on the PC.
I might be waiting a while, but i'm in no rush. I still have Borderlands 2 GOTY to work through, i can hold for a long ass time.

It's nothing like Forza. It's more like a true-to-life motorsport experience with a 'ladder' of sorts, and the driving physics are borderline simulation. You can't modify or paint the cars, you sign for a team and race on a calendar, and then move up to a new category when the season is over.
You might find a closer Forza comparison with the multiplayer but it's all based around a weekend event format, with practice, qualifying, then racing etc.
Ever played the TOCA Race Driver series? It's essentially a more realistic take on that for a new generation.

aww, I'm with Jeff, the best part of Forza is taking some dumbass Honda Fit and modding it into an S-class car
the torque-steer was so massive you had to hold the LS to the left just to go straight
it would out-race Ferraris.
I still like sim racing games but they don't hold my attention for very long without letting me do silly things

I figure they have to release something with the larger expansion included this fall. Probably a smart move to wait as they presumably would have to add some sort of level-booster for new players then aswell.
I agree haha, I used to love doing dumb shit like that on Gran Tursimo.
pCARS has very little room for silly things unfortunately. Unless you can coordinate a 30-player lobby with karts, or something ha.

That sounds thrilling. Happen to have a link?
Red Faction: Guerrilla got a Steam update. Red Faction: Guerrilla for GOTY 2015.

really? presumably to strip out GFWL right? I'm glad that game is being kept alive.

another 15 gig patch for MKX PC is out.
wonder what they broke this time. This also means that they've released +60 gigs worth of patches for this game on PC. High Voltage be all like 'fuck yo bandwidth cap'

Man, more Drew for GBEast. It really helps to have the 3 man team for Vinny and Alex.
I want Vinny to fix cars now in Car Mechanic Simulator.

He already played last year's. I have it, and it's kind of funny for a while but then you get stuck for half an hour trying to figure out which bolt you forgot to remove or replace

The new update was wiping saves so they had to pull it or something, but then people had to redownload the old patch. The PC version is a hot steaming mess.
Yup. Took out GFWL, added some new Wrecking Crew maps, added FoV option, ability to use reconstructor in single player, bug fixes, etc. It was actually some substantial patches!

They might have had him record on a high quality mic along with a mic that goes to skype. You then send the audio file and they sync it to the video. Boom studio quality audio.
Oh I had no idea!

Torchwood was pretty bad, though Children of Earth was surprisingly good.
You're ruining the magic!
This is what is typically done on other podcasts. Although I don't see why low latency p2p audio and video is not possible. Playstation now and Onlive are things that exist.

Doesn't this mean that MKX is nearly 100 gigs in total?

Each patch replaces files already in the game, they don't add up. Game is around 36 GBs
I assume a lot of the patches is replacing existing files, so it's not as simple as A+B+C = X.
