besides, has the bomb crew EVER avoided talking about something non-NDA destroying just because they knew someone who worked on it?
Never I think. Even when they took GRIN's Swedish candy, it didn't stop them from criticising their games.
it still has a massive audience. still going strong.
Lorne was wearing an Oculus Rift with Hotline Miami playing on it while going on these murder-binges.

I can't wait till we get AR lenses implanted into us at birth to start our They Live future.
I'm still waiting for the Terminator 2 insult generator that will help me come up with lines as memorable as "chill out dickwad".

Greg Miller has actually been going out dressed as Batman while shitfaced and throws beer bottles at homeless people.
Has Ryan Macdonald ever been on a Giant Bomb show? Because he launched a drone strike against the White House.*
So that's Dr Tracksuits real name huh.

People seemed pretty angry at JV (but only GBers would be really aware of his transgressions). Dave Lang has had a pretty bad week, huh?
Mary Kish made a great video comparing PC Vs PS4 versions of Batman.
I'm so fucking pissed to have bought it on PC arghhhh

Finished it and it's awesome. Still need to unlock all the clips
I don't imagine it's a long game, but how long did it take you?
Wait what, this was actually Gamespot's Ryan Macdonald that flew the drone near the White House? I didn't even connect that it was the same person.

Whoa. I think I remember some oblique talk about a friend in legal trouble recently, this would certainly fit.

That last segment of the E3 Day 3 stream was a real fucking
mess.
No they don't, they run at like half the framerate I would expect.
glorious

I'm just gonna buy the PC version discounted some time during the fall if they get it all fixed
I'm not sure a QL of Her Story would be a good idea. I feel like it would need to be prepped for extensively beforehand, like practiced, with just certain search words used and select clips played. Otherwise, the possibility for stumbling across sections of the interview that hint toward or outright reveal certain (huge) facts about the case is totally possible, probable even. Maybe a very short 'heads up, I'm really enjoying this' sort of QL, just five or ten minutes long.

Hasn't tweeted since....
Tanookis are reputed to have massive testicles.
Tom Nook's a tanooki I hope, lest I make even more of a fool of myself.
Hadn't been a good year for Ryan Mac, shame because he was always awesome back in Jeff era gamespot
Or they could put up a spoiler warning and just play through the whole thing.

Or people should be smart enough to not watch people playing the game if they don't want to be spoiled.
Those two arguments just sound way too simple and reductive and I don't agree they're being responsibly applied for a game as plot-dependent and short as Her Story. At the very least it turns on matters of "What is the purpose of a QL?"
I genuinely think a lengthy-ish QL of the game (any part of it which shows certain Big Plot Reveals, and that's really easily done) would go beyond 'spoilers' and straight into plain old 'ruining a meaty aspect of game', or at the very least denying the viewer something fundamental to the game's intended experience. The QL would have merit only for those who already played the game, and at that point I'm not sure it falls into QL territory anymore, it's more LP-ey. I have no problem with spoilery QLs, I watch and enjoy them myself, but I think you're playing with fire if you're QLing a 2hr investigation game in which you can very easily stumble upon a major, major plot point five minutes in and one that you're kinda expected to stumble upon after around fifteen-twenty minutes.
I guess if the crew think a QL for [game] has merit as a thing only for a) folk who have zero interest in ever playing [game], and b) folk who have already completed [game], then sure, go nuts. Their call obviously, certainly not mine.

I don't think they would do a QL of 'Her Story'. It's practically only cutscenes you choose to playout.

I can never accept this.
I just played it from the time I posted my last messages to now and yeah, a proper Quick Look for the game would be tricky. Especially because the game doesn't truly get engaging until you come across some of those big reveals. It's a really unique thing, but holy shit is it compelling. Really hope to see it covered in some form, even just podcast discussion.

The Youtube comments on the DMC4SE quick look are beautiful. Always funny to see frustrated DMC fanboys.

I went to sleep and WB starts to pull Batman down. I wake up, and DSP has been DDOS and swatted. The internet is a weird place.

important fish update
Let me guess, are they saying "You are playing it wrong!","They are terrible!" and "They know nothing!"?
A mix of those, and a general hate for the DMC4 remaster's existence.
Wait what?

Pretty much. More specifically that he's playing on too low a difficulty level and that he said he liked the odd numbered games more than the even numbered ones which would imply that the reboot is the fifth one.
