Good start to the beastcast lol.

Damn, Brad actually got to play the SFV beta? That's a miracle considering how quickly the servers melted as soon as the thing launched.

Also, watching folks whine about the beta not working and feeling entitled to connect to it has been hysterical. It's like people forget that betas like this one are used to figure out networking logistics and not solely so you can play the game super early and brag about it to your friends

Well, the fact they technically locked their supposed "test" behind a paywall (preorder), did not help. Of course, there were ways around it, but doing the beta that way is shitty to begin with.

Sounds like the start of a great chaotic evil character for Vinny to play in a new GBeast DnD campaign.

Still, a beta is a beta.

It just seems that the term beta has been warped so much over the years and misused ( often really just meaning demo but termed beta for marketing purposes) that when folks actually encounter a beta and it's doing, well, beta things they're reacting like it's a botched game launch instead of realizing that they're being idiots

If a beta is broken 9 months out from release I find comfort in knowing that they're trying to get this working now instead of just launching the game and then watching it catch fire for a month

This is the first big product in a long time iirc to use the term beta as an actual beta and not an early demo

even stupid shit like Evolve used an alpha (well, THE BIG ALPHA) as a marketing term for their demo

looking forward to the eventual Rare Replay QL. It's going to feel like a demo derby and gameroom QL all wrapped up in one video.

 

[Renpatsu]

Still no word on whether or not I could make a Beastcast thread so I'm just going to make it anyway and hope for the best...

Just keep posting them and before you know it months will have passed and you'll find yourself down a rabbit hole of seemingly no return...

So Newegg was kind enough to give me a complimentary Nvidia MGS V code since I Batman AK is still broken on PC. I have yet to touch that game. They only gave me one this time, though I bought 2 cards (more than reasonable, above and beyond my expectations already) so I don't have an extra one this time.

 

[stump sock]

I thought the Beastcast was supposed to be a reasonable length, Vinny?

Man I've been driving so much lately that these long shows are a blessing. GB keeping me sane

Alex talking about Hearthstone is always a treat

There's going to be no Contradiction tonight is there?

Alex being mad about Hearthstone and Minions has reminded me that it's kind of been a while since we've last had a good Jeff rant.

i remain optimistic, perhaps foolishly so

Hah, I'm doing the same thing with AK, just waiting till they get another patch or two out there before playing.

I hope they do vinnyvania today and come back to Contradiction next week. I was somewhat uncomfortable with the idea of them blasting through all of that game so shortly after its steam release, i wouldn't be surprised if they felt a bit of that themselves

The ad break at 1 hour 6 mins in the Beastcast is amazing.

It was the one time where I most expected to get Vinny style production. I was thinking we'd get a weird minion voice filter for a whole ad read.

It's probably because it feels like Jeff's too happy and in too good a place to really get into rant mode.

The timing on those tweets was amazing.

Jeff got mad at something in a recent bombcast, but I can't remember which one or what about. It was like a very short mini-rant.

EA golf games this very week on the Bombcast, the Destiny nonsense some weeks ago (red bull, the infamous Bungie interview).

I feel like those weren't really a rant, more like a verbal distatste that devolved into a tired frustration.

I want another Halo MCC.

Now you're just redefining what "rant" means!

I didn't know Danny is a Trackmania fan.

Everyone is a Trackmania fan, they just have not realized it yet.

That app works beautifully for me.

Don't blame me, blame Jeff redefining my expectations.

They should keep doing more Powerbombcasts even if they hate WWE right now. I never get sick of them crapping on WWE.
