That block is in such a great place.

 

[chaobreaker]

Dan from 2 weeks ago trolled Dan of today with that blooper block.

 

[BanGy.nz]

So good.

129 people will be right.

 

[The Dear Leader]

If a $60 level editor can make it on the GOTY list then The Taken King I guess has every right to be on there too.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Sure, TTK has the right.

But there will be 10 games better regardless

 

[kAmui-]

That Mario's jailbreak level was actually super cool.

 

[V-Faction]

Mario Maker is going to be a solid #2 from the guys.

The only thing I miss since I don't watch livestreams is the masterful poll trolling.

 

[IaN_GAF]

Aaaah, just missed it!

Damn, bummer.

Yeah, I rarely interact with the chat but always enjoy the polls.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

I do love that Dan got into the "this is going to fuck with Patrick" mindset.

The play button isn't showing up on videos on the site. Anybody have this issue before?

Whitelist the site on adblock if you're using that. There's a bug they're trying to fix with their player that makes it not work with adblock turned on now.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

I wonder how widespread that ad blocker issue is because I used AdBlock during the stream with no issue.

EDIT: Also possible that I've whitelisted them long before I was premium and don't remember.

Thank yoou.

Yeah I just came from another computer that had uBlock, and it had no problem.

 

[daydream]

lmao @ scoops shirts being only available for a day

random idea jeff is best jeff

 

[yami4ct]

haha http://store.giantbomb.com/collections/tees/products/hot-dog-patrick-tee

Totally grabbed one. Sad that the red XL was unavailable by the time I got there, but yellow is fine too. Used my $15 premium coupon. Also grabbed the 2014 tee so I didn't waste $5 on my coupon.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Battlefront seems ok from this video of Vinny and Austin playing in. Hopefully it doesn't explode once the beta opens up tomorrow.

 

[Myggen]

A small update from one of the engineers regarding the adblock situation:

Hey, thanks for the report.

Ya, it has been a hectic week or so with all the big adblock changes. Tons of people are switching/changing adblockers, filter lists are getting updated and we are finding issues with some of them.

Looking at making this better. For the sake of debugging - which adblock/extensions are you running? Thanks.

 

[Lunar FC]

Why is this star wars video thing an Unfinished? It's going to bother me. >.<

 

[justjim89]

Tell me there's a gif of Dan pointing at his face and nodding and his Patrick shirt and frowning.

I'd make it but I don't know how to make gifs.

 

[The Dear Leader]

What this is a sly way for them to see who is using adblock so they can ban them???

Spoiler

follow the money

It's the beta right?

Best thing about Dan hosting is him actively encouraging gif opportunities.

He even does the motion a few times so you can loop it nicely. Dude's a showman to the core.

 

[Archaix]

Damn. I love it, I'm among the people who switched, but I really didn't expect the acceptable ads thing/sale of AdBlock to impact users so much.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

wait, what's the deal with adblock

why are people switching

should I be worried

You run a Tumblr and don't know how to make gifs? What are you even doing!

Indeed it is. But I guess betas are just demos these days..

 

[The Dear Leader]

Adblock was sold to Adblock Plus so people are switching to Adblock Origin because they don't trust Adblock Plus??? I think?... you can't make this sort of stuff up. At least that's what I've read on reddit about the situation.

 

[Archaix]

I'm cautious personally. The owner of Adblock sold the company (and nobody knows who bought it yet) along with announcing that Adblock was joining the Adblock Plus acceptable ads program.

If you weren't using Adblock (Adblock Plus is a different thing altogether) then it doesn't affect you. If you liked Adblock Plus's acceptable ads initiative, then it also doesn't really affect you (aside from that whole thing being slightly less completely fucking gross, since Adblock Plus doesn't decide who gets to pay Adblock Plus to let their ads slip through by default any more).

 

[Piston Hyundai]

oh

well I've been using ABP from the start so I guess this doesn't affect me

 

[Myggen]

I've never used an adblocker in my entire life, and it's too late to start now. I've got all the viruses and everyone knows everything about me.

 

[Twin Tails]

He Austin Powered it.

 

[Archaix]

I stopped using Adblock Plus when they started acceptable ads, now I've done the same when Adblock sold to a mystery buyer who wants to remain a mystery but also wanted to join acceptable ads.

 

[Lunar FC]

This seems insane to me.

I spent a long while not using AdBlockers, as I'm really not comfortable with them, but I started to get NSFW ads on quite a few normal sites a couple years back. I run it now, but I try to whitelist as many sites that I use until they abuse it.

 

[mintyice]

I can't use the web without an adblocker now. Sorry internet!

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I stopped using Adblock Plus when they started acceptable ads, now I've done the same when Adblock sold to a mystery buyer who wants to remain a mystery but also wanted to join acceptable ads.

I haven't seen a single ad on a site where I blocked it, and I've never gone out of my way to disable acceptable ads. This is the first I've heard of it.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

This seems insane to me.

Just from a usability standpoint it sounds insane.

 

[justjim89]

I... I uh... I know how to resize them?

DON'T YOU JUDGE ME, MYGGEN!

Spoiler

YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD!

 

[Myggen]

Meh, I've never had a problem with it. My issue with ads is the security part of it, but I've never had much of an issue with usability.

 

[Brashnir]

Edit - nevermind.

seriously

last time I barebacked the internet I ended up regretting it

 

[Zaph]

Yeah, unfortunately ad networks really have turned blockers into a security tool, rather than just a cosmetic/battery/data saving one.

That recent massive android handset ddos in China, while it requiring a specific set of circumstances, demonstrated ad networks as a really juicy target for causing a lot of trouble.

patrick is streaming one of Dan's monstrous levels again, the third time for this one. Can he beat it? Tune in and find out!

AW YEAH! I forgot that MGS was tonight!

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Time to watch Scoops play today's Giant Bomb leve- NXT is about to start. Why.

 

[hiphoptherobot]
