Eh, Austin, Brad, Vinny, Jeff, did all great talking and conversating. Dan and Alex were equally quiet, with Alex probably saying some more stuff. Dan's more of a thinker. I appreciate that.
That's his personality as the depressesed guy that likes cute games sometimes.
People complaining about Jeff was the thing that surprised me. I thought he came off as the most positive by the end of it even if there was shit on there he didn't like. Like of course they're not going to be excited about HDDD Press Sneak Fucks. No one there liked it but Patrick.
But he's crazy for not thinking the Revenants and Mancubus looked awesome. And I liked all the flavor they gave to the in-game Pip Boy.

Cara is working on Dishonored 2, almost makes up for her not working at GB.

Congrats to Cara!
Seems like a good first gig in games (story) writing.
E3 Live Drive video mix (Periscope streams) finally up. Took a bit longer than I wanted. Also, sorry Germany. HD will kick in soon.

That's awesome, congrats to Cara.
Nice!
So in the last week or so I've been catching up on episodic games in my backlog; starting with the Walking Dead Season 2 and Game of Thrones.
I was pretty meh on both of them, and I was starting to think the whole episodic game thing might be something that goes away, or at least something I wasn't interested in continuing to bother with.
Then I played Kentucky Route Zero, the Fall, Dreamfall Chapters and Life is Strange and its kind of nuts how a bunch of developers almost immediately found more interesting things to do, and more interesting ways to tell stories with the Telltale model than Telltale did.
Really feels like they completely lost their mojo after TWD S1 and the beginnings of the Wolf Among Us.

I get a few of the cynical complaints, they were a bit grumbly or something at times, at least in the first half of the show.
I dunno, it was the first one, there were the setup issues, overall it was grand, I liked the wrap up chat.
That Mario Maker footage though. I will break out the WiiU for that, it seems.

Excellent news!
Sounds great, makes me more excited to get around to Dreamfall Chapters and Life is Strange. Did you play Longest Journey/Dreamfall beforehand? I'll probably play them in order.

Telltale seemed to have peaked with TWD season 1, the writing hasn't been as good since then and the games are still really buggy when they really shouldn't be. I'd like to see them focus on a single project because right now I get the impression that they are falling behind the competition.
Great job, I just started it since I missed the first hour on saturday.
I love that the very first thing you hear is Jeff saying "Sigh..... There's been 20 of those before and I never missed one. That'd be fucking stupid to skip this one right?"
Hello BombGaf, I will be sleeping through today's E3 party as it'll be middle of the night in Japan. As such, please use these .GIFs well. I made these a while ago but wanted to make sure they got into circulation at a good time.
When I awake tomorrow I expect one of the two things:
When I awake tomorrow I expect one of the two things:
- Christmas morning but for video games
- A smoldering crater in LA where the incident took place... Last Guardian.
both will not happen

Yeah, years ago. I'd forgotten a lot of the stuff from them but the game guides you in pretty ok for the most part. Reading a primer on the Stark/Arcadia stuff might be a good idea though.
Actually that's a good point too; I haven't had any issues with bugs in KRZ, the Fall, Life is Strange or Dreamfall.
Maybe that's not a universal thing with those games for others, but these shorter, narrative focused episode stuff really should be flawless from a technical perspective, shouldn't it? It's not like the Witcher 3 where you can shrug and excuse some of the jank because of the scope of the game.
That's great. Did she ever write about how she got her US Visa?
Harvey Smith and I think the main DIshonored team are based in France.
Oh, I see. I thought Shawn Elliot was working on it from Texas, but they must have multiple studios.

I assume they have the money and the staff to fix that stuff but they're too focused on cranking out multiple projects to be able to fix the problems with that engine.

Yeah France is doing Dishonored, Austin is (from what we've last heard) doing whatever the hell Prey 2 is shaping up to be.

How is Austin doing so far? I haven't been able to watch a lot of content. He looks like a great addition.

He's pretty great. Seems to have a good raport with all the cast immediately. He easily seems to fit right in.

Jeff is so cynical that he broke twitter's character limit.
It's Vinny's beard.

I think I caught a couple of his facial reactions during the bethesda stream, will have to rewatch but he seems quite animated

Someone posted a Doom 3/Doom 2015 trailer comparison thread and I didn't get a chance to post this gem:
It had to get out there.

Not sure what your point is. Is this supposed to be an outlandish opinion?
i don't see anything objectionable in this statement
anxiety + fear of crosstalk I assume

I don't get why it's a gem either though.

Ha, no. I know it's not controversial. I just typed it all out and wasn't able to post it.
Sorry, I was just joking around. It's the benefit of this being a community thread I guess.

Nah, it's fine, it's just that the way you constructed it made it seem like it came from an article or something
