The only person I can name from Game Infromer is Andy McNamara and thats only because he has been working there for 25 years and been its EIC for 22 of them and thats kind of awesome and insane.


Has gamestop always owned GI or was that a cheap buy when for GS magazines where dying?

I tuned out when they got rid of the stupid nicknames, like Reiner the Raging Gamer and Kato the Gaming Katana. Did Dan have one? Dan the Normal Cool Guy Gamer?

Tim Turi can cut a promo with the rest of them, brother.

While probably not a great game to begin with the Wii U version of Rodea the Sky Soldier looks hilariously bad from the QL.

 

[ratcliffja]

How do you port a motion-control-exclusive Wii game to Wii U and not include wiimote controls, touch screen controls, or gyroscope controls? That's kind of insane. Even the 3DS has gyroscope and touch screen support, so the fact that it's a 3DS port is no excuse.

Good. They better read my correction!

Alexis and Vinny. Vinny claimed he read the internet so there's that.

 

[Patryn]

I am coming to the conclusion that my taste in games and this thread's tastes are pretty different.

The funniest thing is that GB's tastes are different than either.

Vinny and Brad's love wasn't pure enough to survive Vinny moving to New York.

I don't know if I can dig Vinny/Austin. Austin's into some weird Japanese stuff.

Does no one send things to Beastcast? Don't think they ever done a mailbag video.

We might not agree on games, but at least there's Gilmore Girls.

I think people do send them stuff they just don't do mailbags. I remember them saying that a fan sent them something during one of the Vinnyvanias.

Yeah, the office address is public so there must be some stuff. They would have to shoot it in their small studio though, can't film the other CBSi colleagues at their desks.

I bought an old game for the specific purpose of sending it to Vinny, but then Vinny moved and now he no longer has access to a Windows 95 computer. Now I don't even know where I put the game.

There's a decent chance somebody mailed them a Windows 95 computer.

What I'm learning by systematically listening through the Beastcast over the course of a month is how my tastes most line up with Austin's and least with Alex, across both GB coasts. Even so, if Austin doesn't like Chameleon Twist, I won't hold it against him.

This is my uneducated opinion, but I think you should still send it.

In my mind the way they know the GB East office is becoming an integral part of things is the fact that people send in mail just like they do to West. Maybe they don't have something to play it on now but they can figure something out which opens new doors etc...

I'm sure they're going to expand regardless but the push from the audience definitely helps and lets them know you're paying attention.

I haven't played Gravity Rush, but yeah, I recognized that homing attack, the light dash, those dash panels and those vague descriptions at the beginning of each level

That's a ringtone if I ever heard one.

Way ahead of you.

That's...come on man, it's printed on the label. That's not true.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

And it's GO, GO, GO! for the podcast!

Switcheroo? I'm doing my Murray Walker

 

[Gurrry]

So.. its def gonna be Super Mario Maker for GOTY. The rest, I have no clue. I wonder where Bloodborne will stack up.

Looking back, its been a great year. Gonna be tough to crack the top 10 for alot really good games.

 

[FStop7]

"This insane attention to detail is made extremely apparent in the massive create-a-wrestler mode. More user-friendly than ever, this game will allow you to create just about anything you can imagine. My RoboHitler was complete with an eye visor, hook hands, skin that resembled metal and the people in the crowd even held up the German flag and "SUPPORT THE TROOPS" signs for him."

Ordering a Roku stick and curious about my GB options. I know they have a official channel that works but is a bit bare bones but should do for the most recent stuff.

Can I use Video Buddy to "cast" videos to a Roku?


I have a chomecast which has worked great but I am retiring that to the bedroom in favour of something with a remote for the living room.


Would have been great if Google had the option for a remote and on board apps for its Chromecast 2015 revision. Would gladly buy a more expensive stick that had full Android TV on it. Stuff like the Nexus Player and Nvidia Shield TV are too expensive for what I need but the basic software on them seems great. Give me that on a steaming stuck for $60 plz

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I sent an email in to Beastcast~

I'm not fully aware of your options on the Roku Stick, but I know that you can install the Android GB Video Buddy on a FireTV stick. If GB is your main concern, that might be the better solution.

Edit: To clarify: I have HEARD you can install video buddy on it, but you need to get the apk some way and side-load it :/
Edit2: Just succesfully installed it and am watching Old Hunters now. But starting unofficial apps takes some extra work on a FireTV, so I wouldn't fully recommend.

I don't use the cast with my Roku too often (wifi and the app works fine for me) but I have cast my tablet to it and videos play that way just fine.

@DanRyckert Why are you such an idiot?

Best dad of the year.

 

[jaina]

I'm still skeptical whether Dan's girlfriend wants to join a podcast where Dan and Paul out-Ryckert each other.

Is it just me, or is anyone else a little weirded out that Dan's girlfriend is going to be on a podcast?

I feel like that's a part of their lives I don't need to know about. I don't need to know who Vinny's wife, or Brad's girlfriend, or Jeff's fiance are.

I get that it's Dan and her choosing to do this, so it's not like fans are digging into private stuff per se, but I still feel like it's crossing a boundary I'm not sure I want to cross.

If she's not 100% comfortable with the appearance and (unforeseeable) consequences, I'd rather have her stay private. Feels weird to me as well.
Lisa A-striker is a somewhat public tweeter herself and has done Extra Life streams with Jason before moving to GB, so that feels different.

I feel like the Dan + Paul podcasts have already kind of crossed that line anyway.

HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE

my commute is less than half of what it used to be and i never readjusted my podcast listening habits accordingly

Personal boundaries for Dan were crossed a long time ago when they started doing Danswers. If she wants to be on it and talk, then I'm cool with it.

If you feel awkward listening then you don't need to.

Did you have an issue with Jason's wife being on stream with Jason?

Lisa A-striker is a somewhat public tweeter herself and has done Extra Life streams with Jason before moving to GB, so that feels different.

I guess that's the difference. Just depends on the person and the dynamic. If it's not awkward, there's no problem.
