I thought this was the Giant Bomb thread, not the Cry About a Single Innocuous Post in a Thread on the Other Side of the Forum I Had to Spend 5 Minutes Looking For thread
Piston's way into taking things people post elsewhere and putting them in here.
Piston's alright.

So, has there been any talk about a UPF replacement for tomorrow since there is no studio to do it in? It will be a shame not to have something considering all of them are in the office. Last year's end of year UPF was so awesome!

No talk I've seen yet, but don't expect it. There is no way for them to do it outside of maybe Periscope and even then they probably don't have the setup to actually put that on site. Also sounds like tomorrow might finally actually be moving day, so they'll probably be busy.

I suppose if they wanted to/had time to do so they could use a PS4 and a PS4 camera (same with XB1 and Kinect) and stream to Twitch. Unless even the TV's are packed away.

I know the entire studio is gone. I'm almost certain the Quick Look room is gone. If tomorrow is moving day as they suggested on Mixlr, I suspect even their computers are gonna be packed away.
Yeah the Move being during GOTY recordings really sucks for live content or QL's.
Yeah I suppose I have to wait and see to complain, but that doesn't mean it isn't a bit of a bummer to have no big UPF again.
Just wait what it does to the actual goty videos

I've spent the last 30 minutes trying to manually update my PS4 with the wrong file. I blame Dan for my mistake.

The Beast crew probably won't be around too much longer, and given they have no studio to record, expect not good things. If we get anything, I expect the West crew to throw together the on the couch segments and little to none of the produced stuff. That is if they can even get the studio together enough to record those.

If it wasn't moving day (but the studio was still packed away), I could've seen them do a real low tech show. It would be no mics, no studio lights, a single TV (instead of multiple), a PS4/XB1 (with corresponding camera) being streamed via their built in streaming tech. It would be as high tech as a normal person's home stream. It wouldn't be pretty, but it'd work. It's all moot anyways, since they will too busy moving.

I kinda want a hip hop podcast with Jeff, Austin, Dan and Vinny.

I honestly don't see them do any sort of official in office stream without the couch. Without the couch, it's really hard to fit in multiple people.
The fact that they're real close to moving day makes that all moot, though. I could see Dan doing some dumb Periscope stuff during the day. That's his thing.
They've got 3 video producers in one room, they could make it work.
Hard to produce a video when you have zero equipment to produce it on.
Could they use GameSpot's gear, or are they already packed up too?
Same floor, so also packed up. Best we can hope for is that they get enough out to do something before the end of the year or the BEAST crew gets back early enough to throw something together.
Doubt it with no gear.

Everyone should just squeeze into Brad's spare bedroom and do UPF from there.

What does it have to do with their organisation?

Jeff has complained about lack of information on how the move is going to take place. This whole thing has clearly been a mess given his comments and it's been a poorly orchestrated move all around. Hard to tell if that's the fault of the organization, the building, the specific movers, management, etc. It's clearly been fucked up, but we have too little information to lay blame.

Jeff said on his Mixlr that they have a bunch of stuff ready to move, but no one will tell them when or how to move it all.
Also anything left on their floor after a certain date will be destroyed.

Ah alright, that's interesting.

They were told to be packed up by Thanksgiving. The fact that they were given that cutoff and still have no information when the move is happening or how to label their stuff is crazy. Someone fucked up somewhere.

Vinny could stream anything using only bubble gum and duct tape. He's a grizzled veteran.
I'm not sure Dan has much interest in Hip hop outside of Wu-Tang, Biggie and any Action Bronson song that references wrestling.I kinda want a hip hop podcast with Jeff, Austin, Dan and Vinny.

That's why he's perfect for it though. Dan and Vinny are there for contrast.

They should just go do some videos with GameSpot, join them on some of their series and mooch of their equipment.
EDIT: Or just have the Beast crew fly back to NY and do some videos, or even send Brad home for the week and have him make a few dozen Bombastica's of all the games he's been meaning to get back to, the possibilities are endless.

Yes, I think Jeff mentioned that today/tomorrow they'll be moving. He said we may not see anything possibly for a few weeks. GOTY discussions are also coming in the holidays. He also mentioned on mixlr today that he felt his throat is fucked from all the discussions.
Well that's just poor planning by CBS.
Not really. They are on the same floor. The floor is getting taken over by another company. Not much you can do. You obviously can't stagger the moves. It's way more efficient to just bite the bullet and move it all at once.
Not saying the move hasn't been poorly orchestrated in other ways, but there's only so much you can do in a situation like this.

Periscope.
Sounds like they are actually moving tomorrow, so they won't even have stuff to play games on. Add to that they'll be busy executing the move. I wouldn't put it past Dan just throwing up a periscope of the move, but they literally cannot do more than that.

Yup, it just came at a bad fucking time with GOTY discussions, Playstation experience and all. Jeff said he's glad they're done from big video game releases for now so they could focus more on GOTY stuff and the moving.

I like Beats1 so that's cool with me.
Like, why would a company like Epic even have that list? For hiring purposes? I guess it's accessible to companies because Airlines need to have that, but it seems weird that someone like Epic would even need to be able to see that info, let alone check it on creation for a dumb online account.
