You people made me look up Triad Wars for the first time since it was announced, so I'm holding you all responsible for what I've learned
This game isn't even multiplayer?

If was selling for $10 on steam well before any humble bundle. If it were an indie game then it would be okay but it isn't. Remember Tomb Raider "underperformed" selling 6 million units.
Ouch.
Listening to Danny on NPR, and he's supposed to talk about the year in video games, and the host keeps hammering home the idea of mature games and is all gaming just about shooting people and blood.
I get the sense the guests want to talk about other stuff and not get hung up on the violence debate.

well it wasn't as if SD cost Square Enix a whole lot since most of its development was paid by Activision back when it was a True Crime game. I can't imagine this was a costly venture for SE unless Activision crushed the shit out of them in that deal

Is it 2004 again?
yea, it doesn't. it was the first thing I looked for since i wanted to see how they recapped Y4 but alas.
I guess Dan fixed the exploit in his new level https://twitter.com/DanRyckert/status/677514855251763200

Queue debate over whether re-uploading his levels after the public finds exploits is cheating.

He already said he wouldn't, so if it's not cheating, it is verifiable proof that Dan is a coward and afraid of a fair fight. Dan's not Apollo or Drago, he's barely even Cousin Paulie.
Poor Danny he was really looking forward to it on twitter.
They moved on from it thankfully. But it was a little awkward for a bit there.

someone called this series the Dan Patrick trilogy
as someone who grew up with Sportscenter in the 90s that weirded me out

Patrick has had plenty of opportunity to start.

did anybody try to point out that shooty blood games make up a smaller percentage of the total than ever before or
I think Drago works. Cheating = PEDs

I'm just glad GiantBomb (and Mario Maker) give just a tiny glimpse into the trial and tribulations of working in development or level design.

Man Mario Maker really is getting better and better. I'll have to go back to it now and try and new stuff.
I am curious how you all feel about the quick looks being just recorded and not streamed live.
To me it feels like they are leaving out a huge part of interaction with the audience. While watching quick looks with complicated mechanics it is often disheartening to see one of the dudes state they don't know how to do something. This could be solved by streaming the quick looks and interacting with the chat. I understand that they can't know everything about a game but they are leaving a lot on the table if they don't interact with the chat.
It makes sense to make them just as recording if you are attempting to show the games in a complete review capacity. Most people don't have a chat of 1000 people helping them understand the game mechanics.
Has the crew ever made a comment on a reason why they do not stream the quicklooks?

With all the non-game related stories GameSpot is running lately and their new Entertainment section it almost seems like they will have a brand change at some point. They really are becoming IGN like people have joked about in the past. I wouldn't be surprised if they dropped "game" from their branding at some point.

I hope it makes it on the GB GOTY 2015 top-ten list.
For the longest time, we joked about Giant Bomb and GameSpot merging. Never once did we think that Comic Vine and GameSpot would merge. Huh.

two reasons:
- so they can have embargoed games QLs ready for release
- so they can release them at a regular pace and not have to schedule their days around specific windows
aww that makes me happy. what a cool game by some cool folks. they earned it

They sometimes do live quick looks. I just want their input on the game. I don't want Dan reading chat and saying "Brad, the chat says go to the third door on your left when you enter the mansion" or "The chat wants to see another mission type"
Takes time to set up.

I understand GBwest is busy with settling into the new floor and all, but I am STARVING for new content >_< Hasn't even been much output from GBeast this week.
I think I read 1 and checked how many stars for half.

I've never really cared about their reviews, by time the review goes up I've usually heard enough of their impressions on the bombcast.
Hyrule Warrior

Yeah...not to mention unless it's forum discussion like here...reading about a video game has never done it for me. I learn a lot more by seeing and hearing about a game than I ever do by reading about it. Reviews in the fashion GB continues to do them sometimes just seem like some weird habit they have from their previous days of working at GS and the like.

I think they've said they pretty much just do them to stay on metacritic, otherwise they wouldn't be sent games.
I think this is the big sleeper to win GOTY because it's the game that EVERYONE played and loved.

If only it was more of a game and less of a left trigger right trigger chat room.

I don't know about that, but Brad and Jeff both seem to actually enjoy getting their thoughts out there in that format, based off of the way they've talked about it in the past.

Yeah, I'm sure they would probably figure a way around it if they really didn't like doing it.

Well when it comes down to it, all video games are just a sequence of buttons.
I'd like it too.
