the "brad is leaving" jokes in the chat are killing me

I was hoping for Austin to join in this QL, but I figured that was a bit early.

 

[OdysseusVA]

For those who want to use MPC-HC/VLC

New Vinnyvania?

 

[ratcliffja]

New Vinnyvania?

Vinnoon, actually.

 

[alr1ght]

Splatoon: Aim At The Ground

 

[LiK]

Vinnoon, actually.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Splatoon looks really fun. I wish I had a WiiU.

That meme never gets old.

 

[Twin Tails]

DBZ joke

 

[TharpDaddy]

[Sleeping Lesson]

They should play Splatoon for TNT next week.

 

[santeesioux]

Splatoon looks fairly fun.

It looks better than I expected.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Some of the tactical stuff you can get up to hiding in the paint is a hoot.

Lack of chat is a bummer, as is the content being spread out over a while, but the core game is so much fun.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Splatoon looks fun, but only as a diversion. Seems to be designed in a way that makes it really difficult to get way deep into it like other shooters.

That meme never gets old.

I think we just discovered an opinion that is always false

 

[Teddified]

Grats to the new hire!

 

[Myggen]

Stop getting nostalgic for TNT!

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

What is going on with the resolution and framerate in this hub area!

Stop getting nostalgic for TNT!

But it was so goooooood.

 

[Zaph]

No, it wasn't.

There's like 4-6 good hours of TNT, max.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Yeah the lobby was pretty choppy for me. The only dips in game I've noticed is when a lot of huge special moves are activated at the same time, which only really happened once.

 

[Myggen]

I really love the pace of this game. So smooth and fast.

 

[ratcliffja]

Yeah it could probably have used some culling magic. Culling/spawning is one of those mystic arts that still confound programmers to this day.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Somebody let me borrow their WiiU please!

 

[ratcliffja]

My backlog is huge, but i'll definitely pick up Splatoon eventually.

 

[Myggen]

Is this what anime looks like?

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Galactic PUNT!

 

[Glitchesarecool]

I really hope there's some kind of Clan system so we can continue to spread Heavy Industries.

 

[louiedog]

Stop getting nostalgic for TNT!

You know what gets me nostalgic?

Spoiler

...and the rest of the week.

 

[daydream]

splatoon is goty material

also, uh

new hire is austin? that's really cool, congrats to the guy. i'm relatively familiar with him and have enjoyed him guesting on runbutton (which probably only coldman will be familiar with)

 

[kvk1]

Anyone remember in which Bombcast Jeff was talking about slitting the throat of the guy who runs Nestle?

It was recent, I just can't pinpoint it.

Thanks in advance!

 

[CaptainTiptop]

Splatoon looks fun but partying up isn't coming until August? Yikes.

Hey, has anyone been playing splatoon already here?

 

[alr1ght]

Dan knew all along

 

[daydream]

put in 17h over the course of two nights, finished singleplayer and got up to rank 14 in online

game is goddamn incredible (also, ask away?)

Nintendo is all about breaking new ground this week. The first console humble bundle, and now the first console early access game.

Oh my, those replies are gold.

New hire right before e3. Damn good stuff.

Motion control? Do you agree with Alex?

 

[justjim89]

This makes me miss de Blob's multiplayer with friends.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Man, that skatepark level just makes me want to play Skate.

 

[daydream]

can't watch the stream right now, my stance is: it took some getting used to which was hard to do in the testfire but was a very quick process when playing the full game, and i'm definitely not going back

the thing you have to get used to is to instinctively use gyro for vertical and right stick for horizontal movements. mastering that will give you an edge over stick players any day, the gyro is just too precise

people just scoff at it as instinct without trying it (crazy that people on the internet would do that, right?) but it works like a charm - and if you can't get used to it, at all (well, i'd recommend trying harder and tinkering with sensitivity first), you can always switch to a regular twin stick control scheme

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

The sniper rifle-like gun seems pretty crappy. I guess it's more for use against enemy players?

He basically said the same thing. I just worry about motion control in general but on a console, it's probably the next best thing after a mouse if it's precise enough.

Yes, you're not supposed to cover the ground. It's mainly designed to take out the rollers from what I've gathered.

 

[Ketch]

where did they make the new hire announcement at? I dont see it anywhere

It can be useful for mapping out a path for other teammates to travel through. You need to think of the paint as roads as well as ammo!

[EDIT - Ketch - at the end of Beastcast Ep 01.]

Man, what a cool game. First game that has legitimately made me entertain getting a WiiU.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Beastcast and Twitter mostly.

and it only took two and a half years

I still have zero interest in the PS4/Xbone so to each their own.
