Yeah, it sucks pretty hard.Sad news
I was just trying to remember if he ever showed up on an E3 stream.
He and E were on (I think it was the same year as Leigh Alexander was on). It was infamous segment with Jonathan Blow (I think it was him) and them. People felt they backed Microsoft policies too much during that time because Blow was going in on the policies at the time.

He was there at least twice.
Once was the legendary time Jonathan Blow gave him shit for xbox indie polices back then.
Must have been 2010 or 2011 or so. I think it was in the shitty E3 house.
I think he was on again even after he left MS and it was after Kinect was a thing.

She was a guest on an episode of Danswers too, one of the better episodes.
i'm sure we'll see her on again. she's probably busy with her game. maybe we'll see her during one of the E3 shows.

Listen, just get the brothers McElroy on the panel and let them run the show.

I concur, Samantha is the best- she was great on Jason & Lisa's Extra Life stream!
My bold prediction is she'll appear on one of the after hours streams after having Sentris showcased during the indie section of Sony's conference.

I think it's the name that puts people off. But Fortune Street is one of the most dramatic TNTs on the site. We keep telling people, but they never believe.

The first half of fortune street was boring as fuck.
MPP has a few episodes of non-stop hilarity.
I don't think fortune street would've been as great if it wasn't a slow build.
Except it needs to be better than what New Vegas did. Man I didn't really like New Vegas.
MPP2 and MPP4>Fortune Street TNT for me. Fortune Street is still some of the best content on the site though.
His response to that exact comment in the comment section:
Yo Fallout 1 AND 2 are like that as well. NCR and Vault City. I think Vegas probably goes the furthest though

I'm pretty certain that Jeff reviewed New Vegas. Plus I don't think that New Vegas really hits those points that Jeff wants a new Fallout to deal with.

Decided to look back up the quick look for Jojo's All-Star Battle and holy crap a lot people in the Youtube comments took that "bootleg Persona" joke personally.

Listened for years to him on the Major Nelson podcast.
So sad he is he great guy.
His book and audio book about life at MS is fantastic

Huh. It gets difficult at that point because if you go too much further down that road you risk falling into more generic Sci-Fi territory where it's not necessarily a post apocalypse setting.
Like if you set a Fallout game in California in the current timeline it'd likely be too stable to be interesting.
Fuck Vault City, those elitist assholes.
Yeah New Vegas definitely does the most with that stuff even more than Fallout 2 with the NCR's emergence and the Enclave to the point where by the time of the New Vegas Courier, civilization in California is basically only a few decades behind the pre-war USA (maybe a bit ahead technologically).
Monster!
I do like New Vegas, more than Fallout 3.

It could be like Nation, which explores each character's story as they rebuild their nation after a seemingly world-ending event.
Not that I think bethesda has the writing chops to pull it off.
That's the other thing I kind of worry about and was sort of thinking to myself is the thing most people mean when they say Bethesda needs to look at the Witcher, rather than the open world NPC stuff Brad mentioned.

Well I mean, the gift cards might arrive a bit late, but.....why the hell did Del Taco just find Dan?
Dragon Puncher
Member
That seems kinda desperate..
Maybe Dan is actually a genius that has figured out a way to constantly get companies and celebrities to do shit for/with him.
I mean it just comes up too often to ignore at this point.
Lots of social media tools out there which pick up on key words and surface them according to a user's 'influence' or the traction of a particular tweet. It's how some companies are able to react so quickly to shitstorms kicking off on Twitter.

That's fucking weird.
Yeah, Dan's tweet didn't even include Del Taco's handle so that implies they scrape Twitter for all mentions of their name.

This is exactly what I did except replace communications with film studies (also didn't finish that part).
sup, bad degree bro
I used to do that stuff, it's less insidious than you'd think. there are several social media monitoring suites out there that cater to larger companies and it's just as easy to look up plain text as it is hashtags. some even automatically weight importance of flagged tweets by message content or popularity of account
e: unless you consider robots monitoring what you say on public websites "insidious," but then I'd ask you what you thought was happening
genius or a company leveraging your popularity to promote their shit.

Jeff did mention their stage is sponsored on his Mixlr. Lockdown is going to play, fade to black and it'll be "Del Taco Presents: Giant Bomb E3 2015".
He should get Hellmann's real Mayo to sponsor the stage.
Wait. Forreal?
