Definitely gonna pick up Tomb Raider and Halo 5 with that deal Best Buy has for $25 off along with GCU. Glad to hear both games are great. I need to give my Xbone more love before my Wii U in December ruins my life.

Today would be the earliest of Bombcasts.

too bad Brad won't impress us tonight

 

[danm999]

It is Tuesday the Bombcast always comes out on Wednesdays for me I feel like I'm taking crazy pills how do time zones work.

 

[Heimbeck]

Where's mah Bombcast?! I'm fiending for Fallout 4 chatter.

Forget that, I want the Tomb Raider quick look.
Not even on the schedule.

That'd be interesting, whether a sick Brad is able to helm that QL after Bombcast duties. I'm waiting too.

Um, did anyone notice that both "Les" and "Moonves" are on the list of recognized names in Fallout 4?

Five stars confirmed.

Um, did anyone notice that Les Moonves is on ZeniMax's (Bethesda's owners) board of investors? ;p

Seriously though, check out the board of investors:

Robert A. Altman, who is chairman and CEO of ZeniMax, CBS chief Leslie Moonves, ex-baseball star Cal Ripken, MGM CEO Harry E. Sloan, and film producer Jerry Bruckheimer.

Other investors include Ernest Del, J. Griffin Lesler, James Cedar, Cincy C. Tallent, Robert Trump, Michael J. Domingues, Christopher Weaver, SBS Broadcasting Europe, Ardsley Partners Fund, ZM Investment, The Gordon and Donva Crawford Trust, and the Schon Family Trust.

Yes, Donald Trump's brother is part of the board of investors. As an Oriole fan, I think it's neat that Cal Ripken is there too. Apparently Jerry Brucheimer was at the launch party for the game. I was watching Stream Coco (Team Coco's weekly video game livestream) today, where Aaron was playing Uncharted 2 and he said he saw Jerry at the party. On a side note, they filmed a new Clueless Gamer where Aaron and Conan play Fallout 4 wearing vault suits. It airs tonight.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Y'know, I just realised I don't know a single thing about Tomb Raider, aside from GB's coverage of it during one of those presentation livestreams. The only thing I'm really curious about is whether they "improved" ol' Laura again.

Also, I forgot to mention in my last post how Fallout 3.5-ish Fallout 4 looks--it's like the uncanny valley of game development.

 

[def sim]

He went to the airport right after the stream. The man's a machine.

How weird is it that I'm still wary of getting it on PC?

It's the only version I would consider, but yeah, I get you. A big game like that, who knows what else problems I'll find some hours in that'd put me off?

Is it mostly Americans that can never get that right? Lara is a pretty common name over here.

Is Unprofessional Fridays: 03/14/2014 the best one?

 

[daydream]

looking forward to the read only memories ql tomorrow, i should start that game myself but whence to take the time and not steal it, sigh

 

[Myggen]

"Cancelled" on the site only means it won't automatically renew, you still get the year.

 

[LiK]

well, they can't renew it if it expires. update the info before it does.

Where's the Drewlexis stream?

Same, Austin has made it sound really interesting so I'm expecting the ql to push me into buying it.

I straight up can't use any premium features right now though. guessing when I update it everything will get corrected but bleh

That's a bug if so. Have you checked when your sub runs out? If your sub is still active it shouldn't affect your sub at all, so contact Rorie if updating your information doesn't fix it.

 

[Death Metalist]

Is Unprofessional Fridays: 03/14/2014 the best one?

Definitely one of the best but if we were to give the best from the same year I think that goes to UPF 12/05/2014.

That's just weird. Contact support@giantbomb.com if you can't figure it out, Rorie will hook you up.

Thanks, I watched at the time and still somehow missed this.

Do you have the game? If so, check if the other board member names are selectable. If so, then yes, follow the money.

 

[Incandenza]

It's companions walking in the air. It's dead bodies getting stuck on things and jiggling. It's turning around and seeing your companion poking out of a wall. It's this guy, throwing up out of the side of his car on the side of the road, fuck yeah! Lookit that guy!!!

Like you can hurt Vinnys feelings like that on Twitter.

Say that to his face and we''ll see how brown your underwear are afterwards.

What is "everything is a surprise on some level" from?

I feel so far behind on my GB references. Hopefully Fallout 4 can get me back into podcast listening.

Tomb Raider QL in 5 hours.

The feeling of playing Fallout 4 at upwards of 60 FPS at 1440P

It shouldn't be a surprise, but it actually looks pretty damn good at Ultra settings, the lighting hides the textures. But wasn't able to get a steady 60 @ 1440p on my 980ti. Did you sacrifice anything for the 60+ or are you sli'ing it?

 

[Jimmyfenix]

rick dyer is best upf guys

 

[broncobuster]

Visuals are okay in the Fallout 4 Extended HD Gameplay and impressive for Bethesda. Two months of only playing Wii U, Vita, and 3DS may have altered my standards.

Really hoping the fancy in-world pipboy won't prevent a SkyUI treatment. Seeing it clunky on a gamepad does not inspire confidence for keyboard and mouse.

 

[Mister Negative]

oh man the rocket league mutators are out and they are a BLAST. Great way to pass the time til midnight.

We're estimating that you'll be able to play the game for 20 hours a week for 6 months.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Bethesda games are particularly suspectible to backlash because they keep repeating the same key flaws over and over.

Isn't that the case for most developers though? Every studio has their weaknesses.
