Quite possibly the most horrifying game released recently.
Scarier than SOMA.

See, in Soma you're trying to escape from nightmares.
You can't escape the nightmares in Dropsy. YOU ARE THE NIGHTMARE.
man, this game drew has on upf
i actually dont mind when he brings boring ios games to upf. the show is just them shootin the shit, the game doesnt matter
but anyway, i honestly don't understand the appeal of 95% of these games. nothing about them is engaging at all. just messes of menus. every time a new f2p game comes out and people say its fun as a time waster i try it and am just baffled at how ANYONE finds it enjoyable. final fantasy record keepers is probably the most recent one
like, at least something like crossy road or pacman i can get in and actually PLAY something for a minute or two. all these "bigger" games just...i dont know
im gonna go yell at a cloud

At least we know that if Drew loves these f2p mobile games then he'll definitely enjoy expanding mother base and developing weapons.

I cant think of a place I would rather not be then Twitchcon
Pretty much. It's like he brought the most generic, anime, RPG grinding mobile f2p game he could find to UPF. A game he's trying out willingly.
I wonder if Dan and Jeff were just thinking "wtf is this" the whole time.
He should love the MGSV base stuff. Though the act of tranq-ing people and fultoning them might not be compelling enough compared to the F2P mobile hot game design.

Huh.
I am interested in Project Cars so looking at some reviews and I guess Austin wrote the Gamespot review before he joined GB

Any twitch thread has the black and white face of that guy smirking.
That's such a punchable face. I kinda want to know why that face is a thing but then I have to absorb another stupid thing from the Internet and I've have enough of those for one lifetime.

It is one of the designers of justin.tv's chat. Put himself in as a smiley. Nothing dumb about the story!

He wrote several reviews for them, like DA:I, Grow Home and whatever this is.
And his last name is Kappa.

It's got a very scumm lucasarts look right down to the cursor. I'm very fond of that style myself. It's like Sam and Max but with the batshit cranked to 11
Then I don't understand how it became so overused. I just want to punch it every time.

Yep, it's this guy: https://twitter.com/lazythunk
His name is Josh Kappa. I wonder if they ever bought the rights to his face, because he doesn't work there anymore, apparently.

But will I also get the gene and the scene to go with my memes?
Is it too late to shutdown the internet?

No, they ran out of time.
One of giant bombs biggest problems is that they are so bad at keeping to schedules.
We never know when The old Games Show, Power Bombcast, Raking of Fighters, Danswers or Demo Derby will return.
Sometimes they even cancel shows without ever letting us know (TNT, Wednesday show with gamespot).
Imagine how nice it would be if Wednesday was Demo Derby day and Thursday was Raking of Fighters day?
Or if that is too much work then at least have the shows rotate on Wednesday or Tursday each week.
Of course for them not having to keep to a schedule is great, but as a viewer it's a bit frustrating.

You want them to be...professional?

That's definitely a conscious decision. I think - and I know this feeling myself - that setting up the obligation to do x event on x day can demotivate you to actually play the games. I'd rather they stay spontaneous so long as content of some form comes out. There have been periods (particular pre-Dan) where content just dried up.

I thought it didn't get worse than the concert

Yeah, they touched on that briefly in an early Beastcast. Austin was talking about how weird it was to her Danny read his review for the video and Vinny talked about how good Danny is to work with when it comes to reading lines based on the GOTY videos he was a part of.
Streaming that "concert" was a huge miscalculation by someone who apparently didn't realize what they were dealing with.
This made my morning.
Would be nice if we were kept a little in on the loop at least.
Like now I have not idea if Danswers is going to come back or if it's dead. And that show even managed to stick to a regular schedule for quite a while before it just seemingly fizzled out.
War Peaceman
You're a big guy.
Brad said a little while back that if you even float the idea of something then they will get pestered constantly about it. It makes sense they keep their cards close to their chest. It is not as if they have been skimping on content recently.
I was talking more about letting us know if a show is canceled or put on hold for x amount of time, that way we at least know what happened. I'm well aware of "The Raid phenomena"
