Is that a reply to me? Did you Pre-Order for the beta? If so, I can understand why you'd be unhappy about that.
Edit- Appears not.

I think a few other games could contend. MGS V, Rock Band 4, Fallout 4, and Battlefront all have a shot at top 3. I could see Dan, Drew, Alex, and Austin all getting into Yo-Kai Watch. If Hyper Light Drifter, No Man's Sky, or The Witness come out this year, those could all compete. And if Persona 5 actually comes out in NA in 2015 that wins by default.

The videos have been pretty spotty for me across the board. It only started happening after I deleted Flash from my computer, following a news story Will conveyed on the Tested podcast. It turns out that some Flash-based ads on Yahoo were legitimately purchased by people with malicious intent. They used the security flaws in Flash (via the ads) to infect peoples computers by installing unwanted software (http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/08/03/hackers-exploit-flash-vulnerability-in-yahoo-ads/?_r=0). So, now I can only watch HTML5 videos on Giant Bomb (no live streams for me anymore). Unfortunately, none of the three HTML5 options (low, high, HD) run particularly well for me. They just stutter. Like others have said, when YouTube is an option, I opt for that (as I can actually watch smooth, stutterless video there). I just wish there was a way that they could do their premium streams through a special YouTube player (i.e. it's not simply an unlisted stream that can be shared).
I did. Didn't realize you were doing DMX Goomba.
Why would you want to feel old?

Is anyone looking forward to Until Dawn (out next week)? In one of the threads over in gaming, some people (maybe small site reviewers) are implying they are really enjoying it. I think I will probably enjoy it, but I recall similar claims prior to The Order: 1886 (I personally enjoyed it somewhat). I honestly think some reviewers are going to love it for being a love letter to 80's Teen Slashers, whereas other reviewers will do the opposite and find the story cheesy, outdated, and immature. The reason I'm excited for it is because, when I showed my younger brother and older sister (who does not even remotely like video games) the PSX gameplay demo, they both told me they wanted me to get the game. I'm excited because my sister is the type who watches a horror movie and is always questioning the intelligence and actions of the characters. This game will give her the chance to put up or shut up. Think the character shouldn't hide under the bed and should instead run away? That split-second decision is up to you. I think I'm going to hide the fact from them that the PS Camera records the jump scare moments. HAHAHA!
i'm excited for LPs and streams with the streaming interaction. no interest in actually playing it.

Can't wait for the Halloween streams of it. As much as it would have destroyed any chance of success for the game, I actually wish they would have released it closer to Halloween with an awesome marketing campaign. Odd that there is no Quick Look on the schedule yet. Many other sites have done coverage. I wonder if this is another MGSV situation.

I know about the review event. I'm wondering if Until Dawn has some sort of weird embargo thing going on as well. Giant Bomb has taken a firm stance against dumb embargoes/review limitations/etc. I mean, the whole Mario Maker thing seems ridiculous. I'm happy they were able to play some of it on UPF. It's a shame they had to be so tip-toey about it.

GB videos have been loading bad for a couple weeks for me now. It seems like this happens every now and again.

That was a nice UPF, great to see some Mario Maker. Would have been cool to see Jeff play some random levels, but it's understandable he didn't due to the embargo stuff.
Hell, it's about time.

Cool, I can start the download now and it'll be done just in time for the beta to end!
I don't care about Call of Duty or first person shooters on consoles so whatever.

Where the heck is the Powerbombcast?
Summerslam will be over by the time it's uploaded.

I really hope the CK2 playdate is a recurring thing. Really entertaining stuff.

Everyone is like that to an extent in their first MOBA. He wasn't that bad.

the only thing i found myself eye-twitching over in the hots QL was the one time I saw dan just standing in melee range attacking someone else
bro you're ranged you gotta kite backwards
kiting is considered an advanced technique in the grand scheme of things but when you think about it it's common sense

So basically you're a blind man complaining about a painter's color choices. If you've never played a single match, how can you even begin to say any of his actions are incorrect? You have nothing to weigh the comparison against.
The only thing Dan did wrong was not pay enough attention to the mini-map, which led to him being jumped a few times. That happens to pro Dota 2 players so even that's not really a noob move.
I hate to criticize people who've been playing MOBA's "forever" but why are they so hyper critical about newbie players and generally kinda dickish in play?

Almost pulled a Drew in Ground Zeroes but I was caught at the front of the gate. I should of kept driving and kept my 0 alerts.
Also stats for MG Scanlon
I might download it when it comes to PC just to hear the character say dumb stuff.

The last game on UPF is one of those Iron Galaxy published indies, right? I could not decipher what was going on in that segment.
Yeah this, it's what made it a good QL.

Listening to this right now. So beautiful.
War Peaceman

wat the guy you are quoting hasn't played a moba. If anything the moba people (myself included) are being more supportive...
I tried out some HOTS (1000+ hrs of Dota) and the community there is far, far worse than in Dota. I don't know why either, given it is a more casual game.
I also hope for this. It sucks that PAX is next week.
All the spoilers confuse me so much that I don't feel like I've been spoiled.
Kinda cool how people now see why CK2 is so much fun. It's a game about weird personal stories in the middle ages, and a lot of fucked up stuff happened back then.
BTW I totally re-installed the game yesterday and bought 3 expansions that looked interesting. After I am done with Shadowrun I will play a new game as a viking.
War Peaceman
You're a big guy.
The Idle Thumbs streams of the game a year(?) ago were really fun. Because of its steady pace and creation of your own stories it is very conducive to streaming. I hope it continues. I loved them trying to replicate Vinny's trademark black t shirt
Please can we keep spoilers isolated to that thread

"That sounds like some crazy Kojima stuff."
And yes, lot of juice.
Because it was obvious. Guess what, I have played games before and moba's are not rocket science. It's really just common sense.
Edit: Anyways, as I said, I'm really not a fan of calling the gb crew out for this but for some reason that bothered me a lot, ql was still great though.

What Twin Tails said was basically my reaction.
When I looked yesterday it seemed like there was a mix of speculation and actual facts but it seems like a lot of important story stuff is in the leaks.
If you don't want to have huge chunks of the plot spoiled don't bother looking.

Giant Bomb #16 | Nike-town's First Communion
I had a revelation last night watching the show about the GB crew's family names being of European descent. Then it realized that it wasn't actually that many of them.
Jeff Gerstmann (German)
Jason Oestreicher (Austrian, perhaps German)
Vinny Caravella (Italian)
Dan Ryckert (Dutch or Belgian)
Patrick Klepek (Polish?)
Drew Scanlon (Irish? I think he mentioned this in some video)
Others:
Dave Snider (anglicized Schneider?)
Brad Shoemaker (anglicized Schumacher?)
Alex Navarro
Matt Rorie
Ryan Davis
Austin Walker
Anyway, what a show. The DMX goomba had me in tears.

It's nothing like the Order: 1886. It has much more in common with a game like Heavy Rain/Beyond where you walk around solving relatively realistic, simple puzzles and then participate in more action oriented sequences where you're running away. Although you have direct controls like in Beyond. Think the embargo is up Monday morning.
The Order: 1886 was just a straight shooter with cutscenes here and there. Honestly there weren't even that many outside of 25 minute cutscene towards the very end of the game. You're playing 90% of the time, slow walking 5% of the time, and watching a cutscene 5% of the time. Pretty standard really. I think there were maybe two, three QTEs in the entire game? Which makes their inclusion all the more off.
I love horror flicks so this seems made for me, but the minimal gameplay is not something I am into. I might play it if I can get it int he future for a third of the price. Like what a Blu-ray would cost.
Tron game was good, I found the Viva pInata section boring but if you like the game you could enjoy it, Mario Maker was incredible and is a must watch and then they played a four player game I forget the name of and I always find them games boring to watch.
I would only watch the Mario Maker part.

Holy shit, the timing on that DMX Goomba sound thing is so perfect. I'm in tears of laughter.
Except it's not obvious since most MOBA mechanics run against common sense. I'm just saying don't talk shit when you're only assuming you know what you're talking about. Sumail on Evil Geniuses got ganked much in the same way Dan did, and his play made him a millionaire.

Oh yeah, this UPF had a random Will Smith appearance.
