Yeah why spend that much money? I have always been a big fan of the Logitech 400 series. G400, MX400 and now the G4002. They are not expensive, have extra side buttons and adjustable DPI which is really handy at times. They also feel really nice in my hand and have the right weight for me. Bought the newest model for 30€.
Yeah I hope they lay out soon how that shit is going to work. If I can just connect to Nadeo servers with official tracks I want not part of that. Random tracks are also no good. I need crazy bullshit created by users and best case scenario never see a track twice.
I've had a razer lachesis for about 5 years, and an intellimouse 3.0 before that. The cheap labtec mouse I bought from argos in my teens is still one of the best mouseses I ever played competitively with, but that might also be because I was playing a lot more competitively in my teens, too.

They're making so many poor decisions with this stuff, Nadeo really fucked up.
It's like they still don't understand why people like their game.
I think the last two weeks of the Bombcast has been superior to the last two weeks of the Beastcast. The deeper discussions on the Beastcast haven't really done much for me yet, I like the comedy better than the actual discussions so far. Still probably my second favourite podcast I listen to, and I like how the format doesn't just make it a Bombcast v2.

Actually one thing I realized is that the beastcast is filling the gap that the idlethumbs left in me. Really couldn't get into the new thumbs but the beastcast is filling that gap of intelligent discussion and irreverent humor that center around games. It's been awhile since I listened but the new thumbs just don't seem to care about games all that much anymore.
Yeah, I stopped listening to IT a few months ago too.
I actually don't listen to gaming podcasts anymore outside of the GB ones. Tried the Jim Sterling one, but couldn't get into it. Listen to a ton of comedy podcasts and some Grantland podcasts.
Yeah, it was unprofessional in all the good ways!Last night's UPF was good.
You guys need to learn to chill out, a bit weird how intense you get over it.
I'll upload the DBZ thing tomorrow, don't like to upload too much so close to the podcast coming out.
I also liked UPF. Didn't mind that they played through the first game at all.

Glad that Austin gets Dragon Ball Super. Seen people complaining that nothing's happening. Naw, it's just slice-of-life, ain't it.
Giant Bomb Anime minute.
the punkalar cast (dedicated to puns and punk)
the alucard journals (vampire diaries fan podcast feat. tv guide lady)
the giant minioncast (self-explanatory)

Vinny explains the plot of Neon Genesis Evangelion in 2 minutes.
I have very little interest in anime but i'd listen
oh I forgot about her! They actually should try to get her on something because she seemed cool

Ever wonder what the site would be like if Dan didn't join or they weren't able to accommodate Vinny?
I mean Jeff can only do so much.

erm, it's a two-parter? chapter 47 in my fanfic
edit: actually, i reworked it into a texticle
He said in this thread I think that it was difficult to fit into the schedule now that they had so much to do.
Ah, thanks.
Impossible to know, they'd probably hire 2-3 other people. So many what if's that it's useless to speculate about, really.
No way! Beastcast all the way.
Opinions.
I have them.

Disagree, opinions and all that. I think the Beastcast beats the Bombcast in energy, comedy, and intelligent discussion. Basically nearly every facet.
someone posted a source (basically a transcript of a livestream in q&a form) from the steam forums
they fucked up big time. i like the racing mechanics well enough but they're specifically tuned in a way to accomodate navigating through these crazy ass tracks that nadeo themselves won't ever make
not to mention the soundtrack will take a huge hit

Yeah, the mechanics are enjoyable but they don't really come into their element until you're playing on the really dumb user created tracks. I dunno, maybe they'll do it properly at some point but I won't get my hopes up.

So why fucking call it Trackmania
Actually I'm a little curious, since it appears to take place before the last movie, to see where it goes. Goku driving a shitty tractor was the best.
I was impressed he got DBZ but there's no way.
You might be right, on reflection, and that's kind of depressing
/not that the beastcast is filling the gap, more that there is a gap in the first place.

Daydream did you know the trial is unlimited until september?

Depressing as in that the new idlethumbs aren't as good or that there is a dearth of gaming podcasts that mixes humour and intelligence?
i thought the first 48h were free followed by one hour of play per day? did that change?

Beastcast has def been funnier than the Bombcast, the comedy comes out more naturally in the better conversation and less rigid format.
