Alright listen I don't know if any of you have logged into Origin this...decade, but they're currently giving red alert 2 away for f r e e

longest QL evah

I doubt anything will ever top the Elder Scrolls Online QL, that's over 4 hours long.

 

[TheMadMan007]

Anyone got the stream archive link? I just got home

 

[Megasoum]

Hmm.... Getting a black screen on the differed live link.... I want to watch the destiny quicklook during my dinner.

 

[firehawk12]

Not like GB as a whole cares that much about rules and that's a good thing.

And I couldn't care less about his personal Top 10 but another GOTY 2014 podcast would kill me.

I'm sure Brad will pull a Brad this year again. Count on it. lol

I log in about once a month just to see if there are new free games. It's worth keeping it installed. Theme Hospital, Wing Commander 3, Dungeon Keeper, Dragon Age, a few Popcap games, and the original Syndicate. Especially for the classic games I'd really rather not pay for again, it's worth watching.

Doesn't work for this one

Also, at the end of the Bombcast they said that they won't be able to publish the audio on the site of the LA Podfest Bombcast until 1 month after recording. They're probably starting MGScanlon next week, and there'll be an Until Dawn stream this week.

I'm just glad they finally changed it from Zuma. It felt like that was the "free game of the month" for the last 3 or more months

 

[shadyspace]

Brad is already practicing talking down Mario Maker on this week's bombcast.

The podfest thing is weird. I wonder if they got paid to appear, because their business model seems to be "get all these guys to come together so we can charge people to watch them".

I would assume they get a cut if people use their code or something to buy a ticket? maybe?

 

[Myggen]

Yeah, something like that. They obviously get paid to appear in some way, it's not charity.

Anyways, I bought a ticket with their offer code. I'm gonna be at work pretty much all weekend and there's a lot of podcasts there I'm a fan of. 20 bucks sounds like a good deal for me personally.

 

[santeesioux]

Oh boy, I have jury duty tomorrow, may as well save the bombcast for that.

 

[Volotaire]

rudds sighting!

That's pretty unusual for GB

so is there no way to watch it atm then?

 

[Noray]

Boy for someone who said he had an open mind Jeff sure seemed to take ANY opportunity to be snarky about Destiny. It got annoying after a while. I don't think he made a good faith effort at all. Probably would've been more enjoyable to watch if Brad had just played by himself.

Jeff was just channelling the public at large.

Haven't watched the QL, but Jeff is still doing this? I fully understand the disappointment at first but the game has progressed tremendously in a year.

 

[Dany]

The taken king iS BANANAS

It's like they made an entirely different game

 

[skLaFarebear]

Taken King looks tempting, but I'm gonna hold off for the eventual black friday sale of it which isn't too far away.

 

[Frenden]

As a day one OG Destiny addict, TTK is a huge leap in narrative. The sparce content problem is largely solved too. If anything, I am overwhelmed by the amount of shit I can do.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

From that look and from a tumblr post, it appears that Jeff wasn't keen on how samey the introduction felt.

 

[DontBeThatGuy]

From the what he's currently played, there's very little reason to feel otherwise.

 

[EdReedFan20]

I wonder if the first episode of Metal Gear Scanlon V will go up on Thursday. Episode 1 of MGS3 released on a Thursday so it's not unprecedented.

 

[hamchan]

The second mission in TTK is already reusing an area from the base game. :-/

Now they're going to Mercury, which is cool but it's just the Crucible map? What is happening?

 

[TheMadMan007]

Wait... so "shaders" are just palette swaps/skins? WHAT THE HELL, I thought hearing about that crap for over the last year people were talking about some new cool thing... F destiny!

 

[OdysseusVA]

so is there no way to watch it atm then?

Download or plug it into MPC/VLC

http://gamespothdflash-f.akamaihd.net/destiny091515_1_1400@46333

Only shows 1hr 42min, but I believe they went on longer than that? May be best to wait for the archive.

 

[MassiveNights]

The pricing structure of The Taken King is totally fucked. I resent paying for a game I already own, so I won't.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

So Picross 3D 2 has two different colors to paint the shapes and it's fucking with my mind.

 

[Chance Hale]

That cutscene with the two space mages or whatever the fuck dueling was some of the goofiest shit I've seen. Some giant winged demon with a futuristic ship using an ancient magical chamber and sword to channel explosions out of nowhere in space.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Regardless of how good or bad the content is, I don't think I can justify paying for Destiny expansions when I didn't feel like I got my money's worth with the base game. I also already have plenty of Mario Maker and Metal Gear left to play, so they couldn't have timed the release of this any worse for me.

Spoiler

much like how you couldn't have timed your game boy club stuff any worse, daydreaming

It reminds me of how Blizzard has handled the Starcraft 2 story unfortunately.

Blizzards is hardly a bastion of good storytelling, but at least their characters have some personality making the bombastic nonsense more relatable.

Remember when Kerrigan went full Super Saiyan?

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Obviously. It's hard to cosplay as your gun. And that's where the true Destiny story is.

Still Jeff's best Rant.

 

[skLaFarebear]

I'm not ready for a world where Jeff is positive on Destiny.

Its not Mad Max levels of bad timing, but its really bad. Though I don't know how much crossover there is between the Destiny and Metal Gear crowds.

 

[Mister Negative]

this is activision. marketing dollars can solve any problem they might have with competing release dates.

Konami's been pushing really hard on MGSV though. Have seen as much MGSV commercials on TV as Destiny. Even MM has gotten a bunch of commercials, especially during RAW time.

Speaking of TV ads, I'm seeing a lot of commercials for the updated Splatoon on Comedy Central.

I was gonna come in this thread and make the proclamation that all games that let you play diegetic music from vehicles are good games but then I remembered Battlefield Hardline

I don't know, that was probably the best part of the Hardline QL

 

[justjim89]

*Way to fall chorus plays*

Don't click unless you've finished MGSV.

 

[Archaix]

I know we joke about it and all but I just listened to the MGS4 spoilercast and now I'm listening to the most recent powerbombcast and wrestling is Metal Gear. There's been no change in the discussion as far as my ears can tell.

 

[DamnBoxes]

*Way to fall chorus plays*

Love it, really well done.

 

[BUNTING1243]

I just finished Metal Gear Solid 5 for real.

Hm.

I really hope they do a spoiler cast this week because yeah. That was a thing.

 

[ScottSullivan]

I agree, i played a lot of vanilla destiny and it was fine, so i dont regret the 60 i spent, but 120 for the whole package of a game where you just repeat quests? Fuuuuuuuuuck you bungievision

 

[Twin Tails]

Don't think I will be able to finish the game before spoilercast goes up.
I'll probably listen to it despite not finishing it.
