this is going to be an GBEast conference, those west coast guys dont even get into the office till 10 am usually.

 

[Zaph]

Looks like they are doing a Microsoft conference stream tomorrow.

Welp, guess I'll be ducking out of work early tomorrow

 

[BreezyLimbo]

There's no way it's West coast if Dan and Jason are going to RAW the night before. No way

Obviously Drew and Jeff are going to fly to the East Coast to do it with GBEast. Brad will be on couch duty.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

This can be figured out.

"Us vs Them" Us = West. Them = East. Gamescom stream is "WE Talk..."

Therefore: We = ...

nvm

 

[robotrock]

West Coast

Drew / Brad / Jeff / Robo Vinny
Perfect Combo

Did you miss that mailbag? He's gone...

 

[Anjin M]

Did you miss that mailbag? He's gone...

He may be gone, but he's always in our heart.

Rest in peace, Robo Vinny.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Robo Vinny was a true Patriot.

I wanna watch the gamescom show live, but damn that's too early for me.



I'm still following it. Close to 700 episodes in and I'm too invested to back out now

One Piece is a great manga with a really shoddily made anime that used to be great. Toei does not give a fuck because it'll make money anyway. It's like reverse Hunter x Hunter where the anime consistently looks great but the manga varies wildly from Botticelli to Marmaduke.

don't throw don't a challenge if you can't handle the consequence, creed

Yeah, it is real early for me too but dammit I want to see some Quantum Break.

thought you guys would appreciate this, from the Kotaku Rare Replay review:

damn, they ether'd the fuck out of nintendo with them facts

kotaku kotakuin' but i guess people like these lurid phrases

you have access to the entire wii vc library on wiiu

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Quick Look: Luckslinger

It's alive!

 

[popo]

Well, I would be surprised if it was. Can't imagine Jeff beginning his commute at 5am for this. GBEast with Dan Skyping in, you heard it here first.

it would not take him as long if he set off before rush hour - but yeah, GBE makes more sense.

don't move the goalposts

but also that review is dogshit

As well as Blast Corps holds up, Conker’s Bad Fur Day might hold up even better. I can’t say for sure, since I haven’t played more than an hour of the game in its emulated Rare Replay form.

I didn’t even start the much-maligned Perfect Dark Zero. Full disclosure: I tried it back in the day and had better things to do in August of 2015.

 

[TharpDaddy]

You all are thinking too small. GB West will be watching and commentating on the MS conference from within Second Life and the comfort of their own homes. Time and distance are no consequence within Second Life.

 

[Xater]

Austin did it and finally dropped some Foucault in his Konami article. That gets me way too hype.

Yeah, I just wish I liked Manga more than not at all. Only manga I read is Berserk, but that's because I really don't have any alternatives (and the art is also gorgeous).

Yeah, it is real early for me too but dammit I want to see some Quantum Break.

Scalebound gonna be so good. QB interests me, but I need to see more.

 

[daydream]

but also that review is dogshit

if you're gonna get super technical and niggling about it, don't half-ass it

but as you demonstrated, that might be too much to ask for from kotaku maculature

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Looks like I'm buying the Luckslinger soundtrack.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

but as you demonstrated, that might be too much to ask for from kotaku maculature

too busy doxxing donald trump to put that time in to try perfect dark zero

 

[repeater]

The chances of them wanting to do a stream at 7 in the morning is about 1%.

Sleepy Brad is best Brad

Not if you don't have a retro controller which there's no way in hell I'm buying a fourth completely unique controller just for that.

Giant Bomb Talks Over Microsoft's Gamescom Press Conference

okay

 

[Volotaire]

YES. Let's do this.

Since some other users requested me to do so (well... 1 ) I'll be creating a Spoiler Free Thread for Gamescom too (although I'm not sure anyone here would use it). I'll archive GB's reaction stream in the thread.

 

[MassiveNights]

Dan sure is on a lot of content elsewhere right now

 

[Myggen]

Dan sure is on a lot of content elsewhere right now

What kind of content outside of these two Kinda Funny streams?

Also, the archive is up of Dan vs. Xavier on Kinda Funny, Dan comes at about 19:10

 

[jtar86]

I took my kids to see Minions yesterday. Alex would be proud. Holy shit it was terrible, my kids didn't even like it. The only movie we watched together that we could all agree was good was The Lego Movie, what a classic.

 

[mnz]

I still think that there's more marketing and cross-brand promotion involving the minions than their popularity actually justifies. Just because they're such a blank slate that works with every product on the planet. Or maybe kids today are terrible.

 

[Twin Tails]

It's happening!

 

[robotrock]

Twin Tails, I'm sorry to had to see that.

This is the worst thing I've ever seen on the internet. I felt it for Xavier.

Alex said it best when he called Minions "the branding singularity."

Galak-Z Quick Look

I really don't understand the appeal of this game at all. This the third quick look of the game (the others being an EX and Unfinished) and it's yet to look like anything but a super repetitive shooter.

 

[Tubobutts]

kick dudes in the dick

You mean the genital triangle.

 

[MassiveNights]

I think both Luckslinger and Galak-Z look great. I'll probably get them as not much else is out this month.

I love repetitive shooters!

 

[KingKong]

I agree, I feel like I must be missing something because they're all so into it. Even the art style looks like a mid 2000s xbla game to me

 

[BanGy.nz]

Perfect Dark Zero is trash so I don't blame them.

 

[jgminto]

Galax-Z looks great, super excited to play it.

 

[Mupod]

So I only listen to the bombcast once every few months as it's a great way to kill time during the 5 hour drive to/from my parents' place. But I feel like every time I listen, the following subjects come up:

- Burning Man
- Poop on the sidewalk in San Francisco
- The act of injecting people with drugs unwillingly and Jeff's fear thereof

Do these things happen in every single bombcast or am I just listening to the right ones

 

[mnz]

Those are the three Bombcast pillars

Those are not infrequent subjects on the Bombcast, no.

I had some hands on at Bitsummit.

It's a rad game is what's up. I dunno where you're getting this idea of repetition from.

All I ever see is annoying banter with the same shooting boring shooting mechanics. I really don't think this game is for me.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

Procedurally generated games can look somewhat same-y since templates are repeated.

As far as gameplay goes, they had me at space shooter that plays like halo. That's all I needed to hear.

 

[daydream]

galak-z lost a bit of its coolness once i got a good look at the cutscenes. i don't mind the vibe they're going for, at all, but the artstyle and character designs are really off-putting

not off-putting enough that i wouldn't wanna play it asap, though, if i had a ps4. game seems super sharp otherwise.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Soo... Galak-Z isn't coming out on PC tomorrow?

[EDIT] Apparently it's coming out "in a couple months". I thought we were past this with PC games.

Soonish is all they've said.
