Giant Bomb 18: Everything is always a surprise on some level

I've moved on and started actually playing video games.
Pfft, fuck that
Personally, I'm hoping for a timely Matthew Rorie Bombastica of Final Fantasy 7.
while he's playing, what's the likelihood he forgets what he's playing?
Even in that Techno Kitten video, Matt had his moment. So pretty good I'd say.
This is the funniest shit. Don't know what's better, the news itself, or SE dropping it in a press release so soon after PSX.
Whoever called that 2020 date a few pages back ain't wrong, in fact probably even optimistic for the final part.
Don't do it, there's these old GOTY - podcasts though..

Square just shot themselves in the other foot.

I like those.
I read this in the rythm of "I don't want to miss a thing" and it fit, which makes me uneasy

I did that too.
A video game I played
Resident Evil Revelations 2 makes me want to play the goat RE5 again.

FF7 really has this incredible ability to make people act like babies. I love it.

I already played through Diablo 3 story as a Crusader and now I'm leveling a Witch Doctor in Adventure Mode. It's not like I have any games released this year to play or anything.

Pretty sure Square wanted to make a straight up remake, exactly like you wanted it, but then they looked at GiantBomb's E3 reaction to the reveal and thought "Huh, maybe people aren't into it that much...."
Playing Wolfenstein 2014 for the first time. It's real gud.
Man, they piled on him hard.

Yeah it is fucking great. Although the whole concept is absurd, the characterisation and plotting is quite brilliant. Don't forget to play The Old Blood too!

Devil's Third seems like a good first QL of the year. I feel like the first QL of a year is almost always* was some terrible game they missed before like Neverdead or Postal 3
*probably not almost always

I swear I've had GOTY podcasts in the build up to Christmas before. Not after.

All there stuff got moved to their floor this weekend, according to Geoff, so I could see them setting up a ghetto stream this week.
Yeah, I know that feeling. In my boredom I've hit the bottle pretty hard.
Plus I go on constant Taco Bell runs.

I hope not because that means we'll see another content drought during the holidays, when everyone is out of the office
I liked it but it has some serious pacing issues. The last third of the game is pretty tedious.

so I just had my first "hey there are ghouls nearby Sanctuary" quest and here is some footage of what transpired after...

So have we started having bets on when UPF will pick back up?
I don't think we'll see it until mid-January.
This studio move is happening at the worst time, between the GOTY stuff and the holidays. I really don't think they'll have stuff set up until that point, and I don't think they'll be at 100 percent until February or March.

Like I said previously, I'll take some low rent streaming using the console's built in streaming capabilities if that is all they can do for now. The thirst is real.
I suspect if we get anything, it'll continue to be Periscope and Mixlr stuff.
Whole thing seems really poor on CBSi's end. Today's Mixlr prediction: Morning "They've meant to have finished the studio this weekend", Afternoon "There's still no fucking studio".
Wonder if the no live streaming rule the GS guy mentioned is just for the move or permanent? Will be kinda lame if all filming is limited to just that one studio.

That's crazy I have distinct memories of listening to it in the build up to Christmas. Going mad.
No live streaming???

The dumbest thing about all of this is that at some point Jeff is probably going to get an email/phone call from some CBSi suit asking "WHY IS TRAFFIC DOWN?" What a shitshow this move turned out to be.
Guessing it's a reference to that guy telling Dan that they're not allowed to Periscope down in their new office area.
But it's uncertain if that was just for that day, or if it's a permanent thing.
And of course, Dan totally just went and did it anyway.
From the recent Dan stream, in the lift with Eric (?) he said that Periscoping isn't allowed on the floor. Hopefully he meant just for the move, but I can fully imagine a situation where the sales/marketing/admin staff just don't want to be in the background of their videos (which is completely fair, but sucks for GB).
Yeah, this is the problem with the new open-air layout. I get that it's the new hotness in office design, but I'm guessing the sales guys don't want to deal with the crazy shit of the GB and Gamespot staff, and I know that GB and Gamespot really don't want to listen to sales calls, so....

I feel like with always panic with every move.
And then everything always turned out fine anyway.
And then everything always turned out fine anyway.
Thought that was in reference to streaming in the lobby on the bottom floor, could see that being the case.
They always figure out how to work with the areas they're given. The problem is that based on Friday's streams, they're still at zero, or even below zero, when it comes to readiness to generate content.
And the problem is that unlike last time when they originally moved into the building, they can't fall back on using Gamespot's studio since they're in the exact same position.
On the bright side, we have GBeast. I have a feeling they'll be relying on those guys to generate all their new content for a while. Guessing they'll be doing longer Friday streams to cover for the lack of UPF.
Curious if Vinny is helping out with the GOTY post-prod stuff, though.

On the bright side, gbeast is still up and running. So maybe the drought won't be so bad

Do we even know if it'll take that long?
You do make it sound like it'll take months, but I dunno if it'll take anywhere near that long.
Hopefully. With a bit of luck the Gamespot guys sit between GB and CBSi's admin, which will give them a bit of a buffer to film dumb shit. Just hope it won't end up like a GBeast situation where there's only one area to record everything and it's kinda boring.

But they handle money nero18 clearly they are soulless capitalist zombies.
