Don't forget the new TPS IP, DMC5 news, the new Mega Man game and the Monster Hunter PS4 game.

Choo choo!

Maybe we'll get lucky and hear if MH Cross is coming stateside.

Not gonna lie, Drew's bad german is killing me.
Money and yellow are not the same word in german! I can understand the confusion though.
Yellow is Gelb, while money is Geld.

I'M glad 56 people already pointed that out in the comments.
Learn german, it's a super complicated language that you can use in 2,5 countries in the world. Go.

I will never understand the European habit of using a comma to designate decimals. Every time I see it I'm confused for a second then wonder if it was just a typo before I remember what the reality is.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I have a bachelor's degree in German for some fucking reason.

Why can't we get a non-PSP port of Powered Up tho

Geman is fun as hell to learn and makes a lot of sense as a language until you start getting into chaining words together to absurd lengths.

Words like that are so terrifying...

i couldn't come up with an equivalent for 'brad' off the top of my head but bernhard will do nicely, lol

Sometimes I think people that play games are the absolute worst people on the planet.

Then I look at Twitter anytime Apple announces anything and I can instantly breathe easier.

On a more on-topic note, I'm really psyched for E3 to start almost entirely for GB's content during the week. Also, new Hitman and Dishonored.

You should see how words are built in Finnish. Basic compound words are simple as shit, just put words together and you can easily figure out the meaning from the individual parts. Not having prepositions or such and just slapping suffix after suffix is where things get real fun.

I don't know what you're talking about, that's my favorite part

That's pretty great.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I think we should all learn Welsh. That seems like a fun language.

On a more on-topic note, I'm really psyched for E3 to start almost entirely for GB's content during the week. Also, new Hitman and Dishonored.

You can't say stuff like that without adding "I really hope they announce a new Dishonored and a new Hitman that isn't hit". It's against the law to make me believe those games have been announced.

They're showing Fortnite at WWDC right now.

My first reaction was to go to GB-GAF too

Shit, Fortnite is a video game is turns out.

Why did I think this was about Wrestling?
El Capitan is a really, really dumb name. Also sounds like a wrestler.

That's a whole lot more people than I expected. Is SF still their biggest office?

 

[repeater]

Really dude?

That was obviously (I hoped) in jest. I live in a place that's more backwatery than anything most of the people in this thread could probably even imagine.

It is located on the civilised side of the planet, though.

Look at Canada straddling the fence. You're with us or you are against us!

US, China and India, if you're only going to have a few countries on your side you got to go big.

 

[Myggen]

It's their headquarters, so I assume it is.

Someone was wondering about the current size of Gamespot a couple pages ago:

That's a whooole lot of people. I have a hard time seeing Gamespot keeping up this business model in the long term. They need a lot of clicks to keep all these people employed and IGN has a lot of the Gamespot marked covered.

What I don't get about the comma thing is how do you differentiate when you have a number over 1,000 with decimals?

It's their headquarters, so I assume it is.

I'd think it was as well, but there was that major downsize last year, and at this point the editorial side of Gamespot SF is about the same size as GB, isn't it?

I imagine they're not all full-timers? Maybe regional freelancers they bring over to cover E3?

 

[repeater]

NVM.

They use empty spaces, because inside they are empty and full of only chaos.

I hope we get DMC5, it's already too late for that thread:

What I don't get about the comma thing is how do you differentiate when you have a number over 1,000 with decimals?

It's just the other way around, so we use dots for that. 1.000.000 is 1 million.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

devil may cr5

 

[Felix Lighter]

What I don't get about the comma thing is how do you differentiate when you have a number over 1,000 with decimals?

Ha ha, by not using the period between decimals, they just happen to have it available for the thousands separator. Humans. Wait for the alien invasion, when they have their number representation, language and unit of measure act together. We are so fucked.

Pretty simple.
1.540,56
Or, alternatively, 1540,56

I mean, most of the world already has it together, mostly. With some notable exceptions.
Like those weirdos who get the DDMMYYYY system wrong.

Is it weekend yet?

 

[Myggen]

I'd think it was as well, but there was that major downsize last year, and at this point the editorial side of Gamespot SF is about the same size as GB, isn't it?

Nah, it's still bigger by some margin I think. The GS Twitter group has some editorial people we've pretty much never heard of (if you count production too, which I'll do).

 

[Patryn]

It's just the other way around, so we use dots for that. 1.000.000 is 1 million.

How do you people operate in day to day life?

That's just.... wrong.

Do I have to post that map again?

Based on that map, China's on our side. And India.

I think we outnumber you fools.

This thing actually cost me a lot of time once, because some smartass created this file format called CSV, or comma-separated values. Try working with that across continents.

CSVs are just bastard file extensions anyway.
