Austin bringing out Macintosh Plus on the Beastcast...holy shit!

Jaw dropping moment that made me realize we are living in the year 2015.

 

[KingKong]

Normally I'd call that hyperbolic but this time it is such a glaring omission to what Trackmania is that I have to agree with you. It's shocking that they either don't understand their product well enough to realize how fundamentally damaging this move is, or understand completely and are willing to gut it for the console dollars.

I think it was pretty obvious from TM2 not being on Steam at first, trying to create their own weird in game browser, and then half assedly adding it to Steam later that they don't really understand much beyond making a fun driving experience and giving people tools to make their own tracks

Remember Professional Wednesdays?

 

[stump sock]

Remember Professional Wednesdays?

not usually

 

[Megasoum]

I think it was obvious from E3 that the new TrackMania would be locked down.

I admire Jeff optimism about the whole "Bah there's a PC version so whatever" but I think that the writing was on the wall about that since day 1.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Remember Professional Wednesdays?

I miss Taco Tuesdays.

 

[Bacon]

Remember Professional Wednesdays?

I remember enjoying one of those. I think they played arma 3 on it.

 

[Volotaire]

Giantbomb's new theme. I remember this from a couple of years back as well.

What is up with that guy?

I know the general gist but I never fully understood it.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Is it one of those people that get paid to say or do anything on video?

This is a really fucking interesting game that I hope GB picks up.

Oh, so he plays Hellboy.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Hellboy Disney infinity confirmed

 

[Megasoum]

I wonder what aspect of Ron's life Johnny managed to screw up last night.

 

[NumberThree]

I wonder how Jeff will take the news of Tekken X Street Fighter apparently still being a thing.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Listening to E3 2011 Day 1, brief talk about Dan setting a Guinness world record and people at the Nos tent trying to break the record.

 

[Megasoum]

Listening to E3 2011 Day 2, brief talk about Dan setting a Guinness world record and people at the Nos tent trying to break the record.

You seen the film they made about that at GI I assume? It's amazing, they spend like an hour showing how Dan and the other guys broke the record and then ends with 30 sec showing the NOS guys just destroying their record hahahaha.

Nope, but now I need to.

who is this for? is there somebody out there who is excited for this? shouldn't Harada be spending his time on pervy VR tutoring software?

I read the GI article and added the Youtube video to my Watch Later, so thanks to both of you lol

 

[Myggen]

Also yeah, I'm legitimately shocked that Tekken x SF is still a thing. I was sure that was long dead, especially since SF x Tekken apparently underperformed for Capcom. I still think it will be interesting to see SF characters in a Tekken game, but I haven't liked a Tekken game in years so I doubt I'll buy it.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Harada said it wasn't cancelled this time last year as well so I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[Megasoum]

Rewatching the GI video... Man it's so akward with the Guiness lady lol

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I think I'm going to get terraria

maybe

I've been debating it

@_@

 

[Gandie]

Nope, it's a console game ported to the PC.

Wait what?

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Wait what?

There's no dedicated server functionality for the PC version of Trackmania Turbo, likely because it's just a port of a console game.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Those bastards neutered Trackmania, I'll never forgive them. Videogames are the worst guys...

 

[Volotaire]

Phew. Attempted Champion's Road and cleared it. Great feeling. It reminds me, I hope Brad does continue 3D World at some point. I remember him being interested in the idea.

 

[Gandie]

That's disappointing. I wish they would have gone the other way. Make it possible to set up PS4 servers via a web interface. But it's Ubi so the ongoing deconstruction of one of my favourite franchises is to be expected.

 

[NumberThree]

He'd probably be up for a Champion's Road Breaking Brad if it wasn't for the fact that he needs to unlock it first. He keeps playing the game every now and then during Extra Life and such.

It's pretty great, though be aware that it's the kind of game you need to look at a wiki for.

It's also worth noting that the PC version is the version to get, I've been meaning to get back to it for a while to see the new content they've added in the updates.

I'll never look at the wiki! Never! And I'd probably get it to have something to play while watching netflix.

If you're already done with Minecraft and need another build your own shit fix, get Starbound instead. It's a more polished and better version of Terraria, imo.

It's on literally every platform and costs a nickel so why not?

 

[Megasoum]

I wonder if you have to pay if for the Guinness lady to fly to your attempt or if they actually have a budget to send people all round the world like that?

 

[SteveWinwood]

Wait what?

dude just get into Dota already

 

[BreezyLimbo]

Eh, I'd rather go with Terraria because I've heard the opposite of Starbound.

Ehhhhhh...yeah....mayhaps.

did they ever get around to adding more stuff to it? when I got it it was mostly just "steal shit from planet, fly to other planet, steal shit there" with no real purpose

This was my experience as well. And then I heard that the devs stopped updating it and had gone silent for a long time.

That UPF actually put me off. It's too insane for me now...

I don't know, I like Starbound also more than Terraria.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

So question for the GB vets, why are the endurance runs so highly regarded? Were they really that good, or was it just people enjoying the duders losing their minds to a game?
