New E3 site mini design. Not loving the contrast on the "staff tweets" section.

That's probably a bug. Seems like they're rolling it out now.

Hey look at that, the E3 trailers are waaaaaaay at the bottom of the screen. That's a good move.

We beat them last year in Eurovision AND football, so: No.
We are still ahead.

Also Rorie is still my hero:

Preach it brother.
[insert that coffee videoclip here]

Coffee is awful because it indirectly spawned Mr. Coffee. There's no Mr. Tea, for instance.

I thought it was Mr. Caffeine and tea does contain caffeine (more than coffee I think). But you are right that tea is superior.

 

[Data West]

Tea is superior.
If we're talking about sweet tea.

If we're talking about unsweet tea, why don't you just hook a sewage pipe to your mouth

nope

I pity the fool who thinks there's no Mr. Tea.

Wikipedia says we are both correct.

Tea contains more caffeine than coffee by dry weight. A typical serving, however, contains much less, since tea is normally brewed more weakly than coffee. Also contributing to caffeine content are growing conditions, processing techniques, and other variables. Thus, certain types of tea may contain somewhat more caffeine than other teas

Why would you drink unsweet tea?

Although the sweet tea method has to be the Carolina method, which is as much sugar as is humanly possible, brewed in the sun.

 

[stump sock]

Wikipedia says we are both correct.

you're only right if you're eating tea leaves and coffee beans you damn weirdo

even a coffee on the lower end of caffeine is going to have about double the amount of caffeine of a cup of black tea of the same volume

also I want to punch every single person who thinks that bold coffee = more caffeine. "give me a bold, I need the caffeine," no, fuck you

It's a really weird E3 for me this year...

I made a LOT of changes in my life in the last year. I started working out, changed completely my diet and in the process lost a TON of weight. Result is that I live a much more active life nowadays and kinda lost interest in videogames... I'm still passionate about the industry in general (since I work in it) but I haven't played a single game in almost a month. I've had Witcher 3 installed on my PC since day 1 and even tho I really enjoyed the first couple of hours I played, I have zero interest in playing it right now.

So basically I'm looking forward to the GB content and the general hype surrounding the conferences but I kinda don't give a shit about the actual games.

Weird feeling.


Also spending a whole day watching conferences at home when you can't eat crappy snacks all day really sucks.

Are you sure about that?

Tea wins. Every. Single. Time.

Sounds like you hit 30?

Welcome to a world of watching others play video games and while never playing any yourself. It's actually not too bad, you get to enjoy the drama without actually giving two shits.

Hah I guess that's one way to see it (I turned 32 last week)...

So much stuff changing in my life in the last couple of months (turning your life completely arround to try to get healthy and lose a shit ton of weight is a fucking difficult thing to do) and I kinda just lost interest in games.... First time in my life this happens and it's freaking me out.

Why doesn't that Austin Walker article get its own GAF thread? (or did it?)

It's a terrific piece on game critique.

 

[Data West]

Since people were talking old Gamespot stuff, I kind of wish Gamespot or Giant Bomb or both brought back the 'Flashback: consoles' stuff they did for the PS1 and NES.

Mixlr + Periscope live drive video cut (took longer than I expected to match the timecodes) and finally done rendering - who knew a 9hr video would take that long to encode?

12gb file, so will take about an hour to upload to youtube, add on some processing time after that. And hopefully, hopefully it doesn't get hit too hard with copyright - only realised while cutting how many songs played are crystal clear, so there's gonna be quite a few flags...

Any chance of uploading it to something like MEGA in the event of youtube takedown?

 

[Jeevesmeister]

Gonna be a cool moment on Scanlon Gear.

Scanlon's just going to start screaming "NO! NO NO NO!" and have like hardcore Vietnam War esque flashbacks.

I love unsweet hot tea, but can't drink iced tea.

Bad experience with alcoholic iced tea back in college.
