GOTY content is a bit later than I'd like this year, but I suppose I'll survive. Why not just always start it on Christmas?

 

[Noray]

This is disgusting.

No other word for it. Fuck.

Is there actually cheese way of doing it?

We do a similar thing with the podcasts I produce: they're streamed live and edited into video, YouTube, and audio versions. We get by on hosting because, of our 10k uniques, only 10-20% download a video version for any given episode. We mitigate some costs by not using a CDN for every show, but, at GB's turnout, it could be a pretty penny. For podcasts, most people prefer audio, even in shows with visual gags.

My guess is they'll make video only for premium (that's also less editing) and a premium RSS feed.

Brad's currently playing the goty

Dan is going to get sued if this continues.

Huh. I'm sure that's not something Patrick is aware of, unless it was used on some other level he's played for his streams.

 

[tchocky]

Okay that will fuck Patrick up. Is he allowed to look up just how game mechanics work at all?

Patrick has always said asking or being told about Mario game mechanics is fine.

 

[BolognaSoup]

He's done it before but if he gets to this point he'll do it once eventually and figure it out.

 

[stump sock]

does Yakuza 5 count as a 2015 release? I'm not really sure it does? I mean especially for me, since I first played (part of) it in 2013...

 

[Megasoum]

This is great (via Twitter)

 

[Salty Catfish]

Unless Patrick is allowed to use the editor there is no way in hell he's brute-forcing his way through that monstrosity.The dude who made the playthrough opened it in the editor and still only had, what, 27 seconds to spare? Fuck that.

It came out after they did their stuff anyway, so I don't think it would even factor in.

Just like how they discussed Danganronpa in 2014, they count the games when they were officially released in North America, not any other region.

There's really nothing better to have on in the background while wrapping presents than Jeff playing Sonic by himself.

Video bombcasts give a lot of people what they have been asking for. Seems like it has been requested for years. Unless they fundamentally change how they do things, I doubt it will hurt the audio product. If they all sit around with full size mics, headphones and pop screens in front of them then it is unlikely to have any significant visual component. Even then, I am sure any highlights would end up on youtube.

I can see it being a case of giving people what they want - only to find out that people don't really want it. Large bandwidth considerations and file sizes - I can see the video podcast having very niche appeal once the novelty has worn off.

I listen to the dudes at spill.com(now known as Doubletoasted.com) and I enjoy their content a whole bunch whether it's in audio or video form. I don't see how anyone can be disappointed with more options honestly, it's just more ways to enjoy said thing. I'm excited for it.

+1 for Double Toasted, they're great.

[Archaix]

It's great and all, but it's kind of a copout that he just took an actual Kerbin and recolored it for Alex.

This is amazing

 

[Megasoum]

I used to watch G4's video podcast back in the Patrick Klepek era.

Yup me too! That's where I discovered Patrick and Abby Heppe (who's now working on Titanfall).

 

[KingKong]

Jeff being really into Elevator Action is so good, this stream is great

If we're going by GB rules then yeah it counts.

That's great.

The GOTY stuff sure would have been nice to have next week. I have like 8 hours of driving to do.

 

[skynidas]

man, i wish i could draw like that

Well to be clear, that's a Photoshop of an official KSP wallpaper. Still amazing work but not from scratch.

Oh really? I thought I was joking about recoloring one to make Alex

ahhh, so there are only some modifications. still cool though

Video bombcasts? Hmm. I hope this doesn't end up with everyone playing up their reaction like it's some lame Youtuber or something

Yes it's not like we have years and years worth of video content from these guys already so we know that isn't their thing

oh wait

My issue with a video Bombcast: who is going to edit it? Will it be the raw recording but Brad is still going to edit the audio podcast? Or does Drew edit the video and Brad the audio? Or does Brad edit the video and export the audio from it?

The goal was to get it to a point where the video podcast required a minimum amount of work. So I expect Brad will do the audio and Drew will do the video. The video podcast will probably be pretty unedited.

 

[AngryMoth]

Having seen the solution I'm on board with the "Patrick should just not play the level" idea. Sure he could eventually beat it if he put in enough time but it would take so long it would just be boring to watch.

 

[Rainmaker]

I'll totally watch the video podcasts when I can. I like seeing reactions and such from them plus... maybe they'll find a way to do video for GOTY discussions next year. Hell, I watch Tazz gripe and be just ridiculous for his "radio show" that's totally just a podcast.

Oh man, GOTY video podcasts would be amazing to see how dramatic Brad's hand motions are during filibusters.

 

[demidar]

I'd like just one video podcast, so I can get an idea of what it's like, then go straight back to audio-only.

 

[Megasoum]

What I don't like about video podcasts is that they are far more impractical to watch and I fear that I would always feel like I'm missing out on something when listening to the audio version.

Yeah I get this feeling all the time with Never Not Funny, which has a separate video feed.

 

[Lelcar]

I said earlier that I only listen to podcasts, but I would totally 100% watch video for their GOTY deliberations. GOTY is a different beast, those podcasts literally have my undivided attention. It's the only time where I don't multitask while listening like I usually do, I'm just staring at goddamn nothing because I'm so invested in the talks.

lets be real the more likely outcome is this thread will whine about how theyve completely turned into youtubers the second jeff makes one face.

Where did they talk about this? Was it mentioned on Jeff's Friday thing? I haven't gotten round to that yet.
