This week marks the 3rd time a email from me has made it on the bombcast and Brad is 0 to 3 when it comes to correctly pronouncing my name.
You sent the Dreamcast email, right? That was a good one.
funkystudent

That was one.
Also I sent one about the lack of Ridge Racer for the console launches that made it back around when the systems where launching.
And this week.
The Crash bandicoot email was me.
This still gets to me.

Have Namco even made a game for the new boxes yet?
I know they have been helping with Smash Bros and Tekken is coming but I cant think of anything from them.
They published Witcher 3 in Europe and thats all I can think of.

I don't understand what Mary meant on the Bombcast when she was talking about the underwater VR game "solving" a VR problem by not allowing you to look around. Of the issues VR has, "being able to look behind you" is not one of them.
How can you forget such classics as Tales of Zestiria, J-Stars Victory VS, Sword Art Online: Lost Song and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven

For some reason I did remember that JoJo game and J Stars and went "Those must be Koei Tecmo games"
Wasn't that more in reference to the narrow FOV that accompanies VR atm or was I not listening correctly?
They published DS as well, and that Dragonball Xeno(cross)verse.

Sorry if this has been asked a billion times already - any uploads of someone completing Dan's new Mario Maker level?

Here's what she said:
"It solves some of the problems with VR which is you want to look down, you want to look behind you, well you're in a suit so you can only see where the glass lets you, which is a nice reasonable way to limit why the oculus is the way it is."
She might be referring to field of view, but if she is it still doesn't make any sense. Why would it solve the problem by making it worse?

Mary and Danny should just figure out some premium podcast to do for Giant Bomb if Gamespot has no interest in Podcasts. We don't get near enough Danny and Mary lately.

Don't think so -- although someone was tweeting at Dan that he beat it twice through an exploit he found in the editor.
And framing your post as "Tumblr am i right???" when you actively knew it was someone who posts here and posting it here specifically to get their attention isnt?
My interpretation of it was Mary addressing something that helps sovle the problem of immersion - an in-game restraint will help you forget about any physical restrictions you may have (sensors, wires etc).
Yeah, I'm of the opinion that she's simply referring to the FOV and that by giving you a contextual explanation for the restricted view it allows your brain to mentally accept the limitations imposed upon you as more natural than breaking the underlying fiction of VR.
yaaaaaaaaaaaaay
Kick Ryckert out of Danswers and have Mary take his place.
"You've got questions.. we've got...
Da...ma...nswers? [='dem answers!]
well you know, for me, the surprise is the juice
but I'm not saying I don't see the upside to preparedness.

Give it a week or two, and Scoops will have you covered.
What does this mean!

That makes sense, although I would have loved for somebody to ask her further about it instead of just accepting such an odd statement at face value. I acknowledge that I'm "that guy" when it comes to VR, but I do get annoyed when GB talks about it because they really aren't well informed. They should have Will on the Bombcast sometime.

Half an hour in and this is a great QL so far. Austin actually knows what he is talking about and chose a good point to show off the game.

No more softballs Abrams. You've warmed up enough. Now go make Farscape watchable
How could you Vinny? Take that back, Farscape is amazing.

From past experience, Farscape is the weirdest and best thing to wake up to multiple times while dealing with a flu and falling in and out of sleep constantly.
Oh.
shit, you totally did!
What site is this?

Yakuza 5 looks surprisingly cool. Never played one of those games.
One third is amazing, one third is ok and one third is insufferable.

Throw Peter Brown and Alexa Ray Corriea in there and GameSpot has a solid podcast.

meaning, he had the decency to skip over the first hour and a half of cutscenes and handholding and jumped right into the open world.
Austin was a good hire.

Man I swear it seems like Dan will go totally silent for like 30 minutes at a time on the Bombcast.

People shit on him for his absurdity (which 90% of the time is goaded out of him by other people or a selected email), and then never appreciate his incredible quality of not feeling the need to constantly talk despite not having anything to say.
Some people at GB, I won't name names, looooooove to talk just for the sake of talking.
Yeah, a 5 people Bombcast is not a bad idea when he's on.

I mean, it's a podcast? Talking is kind of important. If he doesn't have anything to say for huge chunks of time that's a problem.

Nice try, Peter Brown.
