So every Beastcast is going to have Alex screaming then?

I put down the beastcast a few weeks ago and haven't picked it up since because of Alex. He's just so... grating.

 

[NumberThree]

Sweet, thank you very much! I'll for sure be watching that when I get home.

From the comments, I'm guessing that it's the Colecovision version he's playing. One of the things I'm looking at specifically with regard to Zaxxon is the range of versions and how they differed and yet shared little commonalities that sort of define Zaxxon, ie. the positional stuff like having a player shadow and using your bullets to 'test' your altitude through force fields, walls, etc.). I grew up on the Atari800XL port (one of the best!) and I've never tried the Coleco, only seen brief videos of it (like in this comparison youtube).

Yeah, I could've sworn I played it on an NES but reading about the game seems like it was never ported on the system. So unless there was an almost exact clone of the game for NES my only other option is the Commodore 64, which seems like a fairly good port based on that video.

It's an easy way to try to make the unfunny thing you're saying almost funny.

I like Alex though.

 

[Brashnir]

I've enjoyed MGScanlon so far but I can definitely see it getting stale by the end, especially if he does a lot of the side ops.

By the end? Christ, it was stale two games ago.

Yeah it's getting a little annoying. Jeff does it to such good effect but it doesn't really work for alex

 

[strafer]

I really hate the name Beastcast. It sounds fucking terrible.

I hope they change it.

 

[LifeIsLife]

Alex doesnt bother me in the bit, Austin on the other hand kinda does. I feel like he tries way to hard to make everything he talks about this overly intelligent/scientific thought out process, and ill be damned if anything coming out of VinnCo is intelligent or thought out

I enjoy everyone on Beastcast. I am enjoying MGScanlon V.

Peace be with you. Namaste.

I caught Giant Bomb Makes Mario last night. And immediately followed it with Patrick's runs through the level.

I think SMM might be some kind of milestone. I think it could influence and change gaming. The GB crew had so much fun making the level, Patrick had so much fun playing the level, and the entire arc was super fun to watch. Throw in the bonus of being able to play the level for ourselves.

I really like the Beastcast. Wish they had more guests, though. Pretty sure they said they would have guests often in the beginning.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

I actually meant that as a good thing, I like it when Alex has a freakout moment.

That's not really compatible with the narrative we're going with.

I think Glitches just monked you all.

You're responsible to starting and stopping the hate train.

For some reason people really like Jeff, so I guess that's why no other guests are coming on.

 

[Lunar FC]

Knew Bakalar wouldnt show his face after that drubbing Alex laid upon him.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Did Vinnyvania disappear from the schedule?

I''ll only be able to watch the first 20 minutes =(

Errr Samantha was on while Jeff was on. People need to be around and free for them to be guests.

 

[hamchan]

I've come to like Alex's dry sarcasm over the years.

Jeff's great, I'd like to see more five man podcasts though. Kotaku's in New York, right? They should try getting some people from over there on. Just not that weird ex-freelancer with the hair.

 

[Myggen]

Often does that a few minutes before they're going live. Won't be able to catch this one live

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Where does these acapella covers come from?

 

[Keyser Soze]

'The chat is up for the worst GB content. I hope Austin checks the chat a lot today

http://www.giantbomb.com/chat/

 

[skLaFarebear]

Man I hope Vinny does some of the handheld Castlevania games after finishing the classic ones. Aria of Sorrow is fucking amazing.

 

[Okrag]

Alex on chat today.

 

[DamnBoxes]

I always hope for Vinny/Austin/Alex/Bakalar and never ever ever any guests.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Aaahh the live stream player still sucks on mobile.

 

[Spinx]

I always hope for Vinny/Austin/Alex/Bakalar and never ever ever any guests.

 

[skLaFarebear]

You got this Vinny! First try!

 

[funkystudent]

I wonder if they will just give up or cheat if they cant do it this episode.


This entire section of the game is messed up!

 

[An-Det]

I've wondered that myself, since I really like the one used for VinnyVania. It's not listed under the royalty-free music list, so I don't know where it's from.

I think they should let patrick make Castlevania III levels and Vinny has to play them every friday until he retires

 

[Felix Lighter]

If I had to guess, I'd say Alex is a big Richard Lewis fan.

 

[Hot Coldman]

I played Valve VR today and now I get the raving E3 podcasts about VR.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Vinny on the "don't read chat" bump again today. Maybe he's been reading feedback?

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Heck yeah! Care to share some of thoughts about your experience?

Damn I'm jealous. I have yet to try but I'm sold because I need that shit for Elite Dangerous.

I tried google cardboard and it was not good and gave me motion sickness so VR sucks and its dead in the water

Got the same from google cardboard, tried one of the earlier versions of Occulus and had no problem.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Vinny giving up and already using chat lol. How long until save states?

 

[popo]

I like vinnyvania but they have to beat that game today, by any means necessary.

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

i used saved states to finish sonic 1 because that game is bullshit.

aint no shame in it, some games are just disrespectful of your time. Sonic 2 and future sonic games were alright with not being cheap as fuck but fuck sonic 1

Got the same from google cardboard, tried one of the earlier versions of Occulus and had no problem.

I was just messin' around. I wouldn't hold the whole medium responsible for my experience with a $7 piece of cardboard with shitty lenses on it. Still haven't used any actual VR but man i cant wait to see what the whole fuss is about

Yeeeeeeep.

 

[NumberThree]

I've been consuming way too much Metal Gear content recently, I'm getting a couple of cats soon and I'm thinking of naming them

Spoiler

Rex and Ray

Cool! I want to get to try out either that or Oculus with the Touch controllers. Well both, really.

 

[daydream]

first time i've heard someone call sonic 1 difficult

not trying to discredit that feeling, i'm just surprised
