Jeff going in on spoiler culture on the Bombcast was A++++

I remember Jeff being pretty mad about people sending him the P4 Comic because of spoilers, and then he tried to claim it was a special situation because he was playing it with Vinny. Like an individual person playing thru P4 by themselves shouldn't have been annoyed if

Spoiler

someone told them that the gas station dude was the main bad guy.

MGSV is too new and exciting for me to have anything on in the background while I play it yet, (I'm only up to mission 6) but I like to always have a game I can play while listening/glancing at GB videos. This year the main ones have been Hot Shots Golf on Vita, and Drive Club & NFS Rivals on PS4.

That's how I play Diablo III. Always muted with a UPF / some game playthrough from GB playing in the background.

Patrick's Match 3 podcast is actually super great, I've been catching up on it recently. Gita and Sam work really well with him, it reminds me of a more accessible version of the podcast Brianna Wu and Maddy Myers do.

I like how whenever he brings up his family's beach house he prefaces it by saying it how it's very small.

It's alright. I just get a weird vibe off of it, and I know it's not unique to Chicago, but, everyone seems pretty far up their own ass. It's a bit too millennial and hipster for me. That said, you will definitely hear topics you don't hear in GB podcasts and that's good.

Scanlon V has the potential to be one of the most entertaining yet. I really hope they play it on PC too for custom music.

handing Drew the keys to an emergent gameplay machine has to be funny

really, I feel the opposite. there's going to be a whole lot of time spent in menus and side ops, I can imagine several episodes in a row where basically nothing happens story-wise

also the Blues and Bullets ql is fantastic

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Metal Gear Scanlon V is going to be weird. There's so much freedom in the game, I wonder if they'll go in with a sort of "strategy" to keep things moving. If my playthrough was on video, it would probably be really boring because I spend a lot of time in menus and running around not accomplishing much.


What the shit, Will is leaving Tested

I’m starting a company to test out some different ways to communicate in VR.

Will without Norm doesn't seem right at all.

Oh no. Will!

 

[daydream]

best of luck to will in the future!

he should be on the bombcast more

 

[robotrock]

will smith leaving tested...damn!


Excited to see what he does. Norm plz

 

[strafer]

farewell Will

You should join GiantBomb.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I'm really glad Will is leaving Tested, and even moreso because he's starting a VR-focused business. Tested is a sad shell of the site it used to be. More popular now, yes, but so diluted.

 

[BUNTING1243]

really sad about will leaving, especially since he's leaving media

I thought he was going to occulus or something, but starting a new VR company sounds like a stupid idea.

It's not like he's going to develop a new VR headset. Read his post, he hasn't given specifics but what he says makes sense to me.

Well, sounds like he's leaving because he's starting something new, so that's good news.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

Wow, crazy to hear about Will.





Also, Mario Maker may have a Day 1 patch removing the 9 day thing in favor of what sounds like may be unlocking stuff depending on many things you've plopped down: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1110137

Will's newest post some more info: https://medium.com/will-smith/interested-in-using-vr-for-more-than-games-28c2f1333bd6

Interested in using VR for more than games?
I’m looking for smart people to work on my new project. If you have experience building VR games, send me your resume and/or portfolio. I’ll also post job openings on my mailing list.

ok, not really more than "VR for communication"

Finally finished watching Mario Party Party 5. Man, that was just tremendous. That ending was magical.

I'll still miss him on the podcast on a regular basis.

Yeah, I wonder how often he'll be on. The podcast is the only piece of Tested content that I still consume regularly.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Will should name his new company "Executable."

 

[f0rk]

"Interested in using VR for more than games?" is a weird question when there still aren't commercial products to prove people are interesting in using it for games in the first place.

 

[Majine]

He'll be back when the VR bubble bursts.

 

[shadyspace]

Just bought Mario Maker for 40 bucks. Hail Best Buy.

 

[newjeruse]

Really, really sad about Will. Not sad I guess, but disappointing. As much crap as I gave him about some of his WAG's, I still love Tested.

 

[Majine]

@InfinityTimesII: @willsmith will you be titled Chief exzecütable Officer at your VR company?

 

[mnz]

"Interested in using VR for more than games?" is a weird question when there still aren't commercial products to prove people are interesting in using it for games in the first place.

It's probably just because a lot of gaming devs know and follow him and he wants to do something else with it. There are many industrial applications for VR headsets for example that require skills you would also need for making a game for it.

 

[Myggen]

Oh wow, crazy to hear about Will. Good luck to him, I wonder what happens to Tested now.

Wow, what a quick response to feedback. Not that I entirely agree with it, I was alright with the day-to-day thing, but apparently it drove a lot of people the wrong way.

I think it worked well for Splatoon since it was a way to keep interest in the game long after its release. But I think in this case, it should be up to player to dictate their own pace on how quickly they unlock more tools, than Nintendo. 9 days is completely different from person to person.

I know. Still doesn't seem like a great idea.

Wish him the best of luck, because damn, competing with Facebook when it comes to communication tools ain't gonna be easy.

Could be trying to get out ahead early in hopes of being purchased by one of the big players. I mean, I don't think that's his business plan, but I'm sure he has considered that possibility.

 

[Uff duh]

Was just looking at the MG Scanlon banners and was wondering if they have mentioned a Start date yet for V?

Scanlon V has the potential to be one of the most entertaining yet. I really hope they play it on PC too for custom music.

Didn't he play Ground Zeros on Xbox One? Do not know if he will want to transfer his save or not? Custom music would be pretty cool!

How the hell do you guys have time for quick looks when there is so much MGS to play?!

By not playing any mgs.

Duh.

 

[No_Style]

I hope Drew plays MGSV with meticulous patience. Just to throw a curve ball into the mix.

I think since Ground Zeros was played on Xbox One he will stick with that.

MGS is so last week. I'm trying to force myself to finish this shitty Danganronpa shooter.

They've almost given up on them completely this year.
