Nice!
Oooh. They all seem pretty high on Rocket League. Maybe they'll do Rocket League: East vs. West? Remember, you can bring local splitscreen to online. So, they can have four on the couch in SF, and then four in NY (maybe they can bring in Jeff Bakalar as the fourth player).
As the place to go for people talking over video games, There's a new Monster Factory

I don't understand the Avulson term. Is it saying it was yanked suddenly and it caused that damage, or just the pressure of wearing it normally cost a problem?
Picking my wedding ring was very illuminating. You read about all the possible materials, and then read about how each can possibly mangle your finger beyond recognition in its own way.
That's not even to get into the whole thing with degloving *shudder*.
Tested's Will Smith actually lost his wedding ring temporarily and decided to get it fitted so it's harder to come off...
wonder what he thinks now

I just had the pleasure of clicking that one myself. Good god.
I think it's the fact that you wear a ring for so long without taking it off, and when something happens whether it's you trying to pull it off fast or what have you, you kinda...end up tearing the skin off. Dunno why they use the avulsion term. I'm sure there's a scientific reason.
Nice!
They have the ability to do two streams, right? They could have one be GBEast's screens and commentary and the other be GBWest's side. Double the content!

Double the bandwidth for the end user though.
They didn't mind doing that for the BLLSL.

Rocket League is going to get a spectator mode sooner than later. That'd be perfect if so.

What's the "clip-on tie" joke ? I don't get it.

Listen to the beastcast and you'll find out! (I think 2 weeks ago).
Only a true fan of GB will know

Context: These are from Kinda Funny. They did a video on their favorite video game media people. The first video is Greg talking about Jeff. The second video is Tim talking about Dan.

I'm sure RL is fun to play but it's coma inducing to watch. I didn't even make it halfway through the quicklook. I can't imagine a 90 minute show dedicated to it.
One of the best things they have ever done.
Disagree completely. I watched so much of the first ESL tourney and it was super fun.

Honestly, I don't think it's Colin, per se, but the typical New York City area persona. But, I cracked up at Greg's Jeff/Brad thing.

Right? The way he manages to talk about himself so much while complimenting other people is something of a Colin mainstay.
Also, guy that isn't Greg or Colin mentions Dan Ryckert. "I like the way you do things," he says.

Last Friday's Colin and Greg Live was so good. It was Colin and Danny (filling in for Greg, who was at Comic Con). The show usually never goes over 1.5 hours, but that day they went 2. It was so entertaining.

(The entire episode is spread over the three links. Apparently going over two hours screwed something up for them)
Sure - I'd probably only watch one side at a time anyway.

Thanks EdReed but I'm not going to be watching that.

Pup, the LASH is not a toy!
I have never understood the weight that Raymond's name carries. It's not like she designed the games or directed them or worked on the story for them. And her first major product that her name is tied to that pretty much everyone associates her with was the biggest disappointment of the generation at that point.
She must have some godly people skills or something.

She was the public face of AC that's the only reason. Despite not being a good game it sold a lot.
People often misunderstand the Producer's role in a big AAA game production.
Sure the producer doesn't take design decisions so his/her role might look unimportant for the end user but believe me, they are the most important person in the whole team.
You can release a game without a good designer (the game will suck but it will still be out on store shelves)... You can't release a game without a good producer.

Isn't that a prerequisite for being a good producer?
That's what I've been trying to figure out is what I'm saying. I don't know why she'd be this high demand figure beyond being associated with AC1, so it must be some business level stuff that we're not privy to.
How often do you hear about Greg Donovan?
there aren't that many developers that people know by name, especially in AAA games, so even if AC1 wasnt that good having her be front and center of it means a lot. how many other Ubisoft devs can you even name?

remember that dank meme they created at E3?
Ubisoft has a whole carnival of known people.
That dude's Ayn Rand t-shirt is ironic, right?

Did Jade Raymond run Ubisoft Montreal or was she just a producer for the early AC games?
Running the sweat shop that Ubisoft Montreal seems like is probably something that deserves some credit if she did that.

She was a producer for a bunch of AAA games at ubisoft over a number of years, I don't think there are a ton of free agents in the industry with that level of experience so that in itself is relevant.
But her being at the forefront of AC1's marketing because she was an attractive woman and also the subsequent backlash against that were both misogynistic in different ways, and it's sort of interesting to look back on it after all the stuff that's happened in the last year.

She was producer on AC1 and then she founded and ran Ubisoft Toronto for the first 3-4 years of that studio before leaving Ubisoft.
