Does the word Zeitgeist not exist in English? I've read a few articles and I've noticed that it's always said in German.
Snarkiness aside, languages constantly borrow words, sometimes there's not a succinct way to express a concept in one language, sometimes it's used for aesthetic reasons, sometimes it's been introduced into the language and adopted a long time ago.

What is zeitgeist?
Also despite being shit at English, Japan just loves using it to sound cool.

Super feels.
noun: zeitgeist
the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time.
"the story captured the zeitgeist of the late 1960s"

Exactly. Or something like, "sho-tai-mudah" for some reason.
Eh, I suppose, but I feel like that usually happens for which there are no direct counterparts or decent enough translations to get the same point across. Does that make sense? I feel like show time, the start of a show, shouldn't be that hard to reword.
I honestly haven't heard zeitgeist in a very long time. Usually it's just shortened down to call it the spirit or the times (as in "get with the times").

I think we're about due for another Old Games Show episode.
And another Demo Derby.
Fuck that's all I really want out of Giant Bomb :/

"Spirit of the times" is a more accurate, if much less awesome, translation.
[EDIT]
At some point this year, I am going to write a big ass post about how fucking good the sci-fi universe of SOMA is. I can't stop thinking about this game.
Add No go show! to that list.

They should run every previous episode of Beastcast through an algorithm that will separate them into audio clips of individual sentences and have them assembled together at random until they fill out two unique episodes.
Find Alex and give him a hug.
Jeff wasn't on the last episode because he was busy working on his Peter Stormare and Gilbert Gottfried impersonation.

So what's up with uploading the Copy Of Trackmania/Injustice thing? There's still no audio connected to it.

go here, eat japanese taco bell, takoyaki, okonomiyaki, see whale sharks at the osaka aquarium, go to a soapland, eat chicken wings in nagoya, look at white japanese sega saturns and consider buying one but don't actually do it, go to the kewpie mayonnaise museum, take a tour of the Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel, eat more okonomiyaki

I could totally go for another Demo Derby.

Just putting this out here, but if you happen to go to the aquarium and see the whale sharks, I will be infinitely envious of your chance to do so.
Basically youtube sucks. They have a remove song feature that doesn't work.
Ah the dah is basically just the "it's"

Skylanders seems like the most bland, boring shit. No idea why Jason is freaking out over it(edit, ah, he was kidding). All of those characters are completely lifeless.
Lego Dimensions is fun from the 45 minutes I played although obviously that's not enough to form an opinion. Scooby doo though.

stump I'm an aspiring marine biologist, I've got my undergrad in biology with scuba certification, I'm working at my graduate degree opportunities, and it's literally one of the things in my life I have to do.
So you're not a weirdo. Whale sharks are rad and mind blowing.

Can't you argue fair use? And isn't the issue with monetizing those videos? So wouldn't not monitizing those particular videos allow them to be reupped without much trouble?

Good pizza should be more than the ten dollars you're used to. You're using tons of high quality meats and cheeses.

What percentage of Wrestling matches these days go from beginning to end without some kind of interference, disqualification or referee distraction? I haven't seen a whole lot but don't think I've ever seen a single one not have some sort of shenanigans.
We don't monetize anything ourselves obviously. Usually when it gets hit with a claim the claimant just monetizes the video and an ad gets put on it. For these few videos for some reason they completely muted the entire video. I put in a fair use claim so hopefully that will at least let me download the track and edit out the offending material.
I might catch flak for this, but I don't think pizza really calls for high quality meats and cheeses. It's such a mash up of ingredients it's hard to really get much of a sense of quality of anything individual. I'm not saying use crap, though. But I think as a dish it offers a lot of flexibility.
Thanks Stump. I'll be sure to let you know how I find my soapland experience.
I hadn't even considered the aquarium, but I'll definitely make an effort to go now.

Well with the recent ruling that companies must now consider fair use before filing complaints you might have a leg to stand on. After all, none of those videos are trying to upload an artist's music outside of the context of the games they're in. You should be good.
Most will go without interference. Disqualifications are typically no more than once per show. Referee shenanigans are kind of a staple.
If you want a percentage of matches on your average WWE show just go beginning to end without any of the three? Probably around 40-50%.

I will take a photo with the whale sharks just for you, Glitch.

I've never really watched the shows so most of the matches I've seen were linked youtube videos post around gaf. Those are probably the more eventful matches so my point of view is probably skewed.
If you want to get into wrestling you can watch all tonights RAW highlight videos on the WWE YouTube channel later. Honestly, it's the best way to consume wrestling.

I'm curious about it, mostly because it's referenced so much on Giant Bomb and on Gaf but I'm not quite at the point where I'm looking to actually get into it.
