There are missions that take place in the country side and at resistance areas which look a lot different from the cityscapes in the quick look.

Say what you will about Patrick, but when he scoops, he fuckin scoops.
Patrick "Scoops" Klepek, he used to be a news and features guy for Giant Bomb.
Now he works at Kotaku and does a lot of Twitch streaming on his own time.

By the way I don't buy that the guys recording on Tuesday would be as pointless as Monday due to missing news then too.
There's rarely big news on a Saturday or Sunday but news consistently breaks on a Monday/Tuesday IMO.

I don't think he was talking about Patrick.

He's right. How much do we really know about this tchocky guy anyway?
Yup, because companies love putting stuff out after the weekend is over.
Given how long the Bombcast is, I'm certain it'd be a difficult task on average to edit and get it out same day. We have the Beastcast now to pick up missing news. Most of the time, they tend to have more interesting discussions about it anyway.
I actually wouldn't mind it if the Bombcast pretty much dropped news entirely outside of major breaking stories. Those guys shooting the shit about life and sometimes games is what I go for.

The only Scoops I know showed up on last week's UPF.

I've been listening to The Man Who Sold The World since news of Bowie's passing broke out. Now I really want Drew to finish MGSV. They need to get back on it, seriously.
Only a Youtuber would spell Scoops "Skooopz".

That studio though.
Semi run-through of Kerbal's Docking (orbital rendezvous) tutorial.
Aaand, uploaded. I waited an extra half hour for the HD processing to complete since the text was unreadable otherwise.
I'll stress one last time, this isn't enormously entertaining video content; it drags a bit as I try to follow along, make mistakes, figure out keybindings, etc.
I think it's cool that this situation is right there in the tutorial section though. I don't think Vinny's set any rules against him using the tutorials as homework, so maybe he's already given this a shot after the big chunk they recorded pre-holidays. If he has, it should certainly help their subsequent sessions.
I don't understand why people are freaking out in the Rockstar thread.
Not taking anything away from Patrick's scoop. It's definitely an industry news worth talking about but other than that?
It's just a studio head leaving a studio... Not the first one nor will it be the last. Sure he was there for a while but most of studio GMs are.
Maybe I just have a different perspective on that kind of stuff since I'm seeing it from the inside but anyway.

You're a big guy.
You'd hope that after so long and with such a large team that the structures and processes of production are well established. It is hard to imagine a project like GTA revolving around a single person.
Eh, seems like a pretty expected reaction to a veteran lead leaving a flagship studio. It's not an especially OTT freak out like some Naughty Dog shit went down.

He was the lead driving force behind the games though, like in a hands on way. It's pretty big in that sense, it's not like Rockstar are going to implode but you can't understate his influence on the series IMO.

They too busy recording demo derbies.
Well, if that's the case I might forgive it.

You're a big guy.
Goddamn I hope the bomb crew plays more witcher. I finally - over 200 hrs later - finished and damn.... I think I got the best ending in terms of what I wanted to happen. Incredible game, you could say GOTY. #justiceforgeralt

yes that really annoys me. My number was a vague guess given that I've been playing it consistently since its release

This QLEX is the first thing I've seen of XCOM 2 and man does it look great.

It looks really fun, but I hope the framerate in the final build is a bit more stable and that there isn't a friggin' mind control/resurrection alien on every single mission.

TotalBiscuit has a good video on it if you want to see more.

I'm ready for more Demo Derby. GBEast can do a spin-off featuring old PC demos. Return to the Fileplanet.

I had issues when they were changing up API stuff, but I don't see any indication they're doing that now. Regardless, yes the Boxee code will change whenever you refresh.

I'm excited to play it as well. I only saw the first 20ish minutes of the QLEX, but I don't see why they're throwing out controller support. It's interface seems very similar to the original and I prefer to play PC games on the couch nowadays when possible.
Based on that QLEX it looks like the Sectoid doesn't have the ability to always mind control. It looks like it does a thing to you, and there is a chance that thing MCs you, a chance it panicks you, and a chance it does nothing. Separately he can zombie-res someone. Thank goodness, when you kill them the zombies die and your controlled friends return too, if not that would be some real bullshit.
I like the Aliens being more challenging. Especially since they added those human opponents as well. Now the Sectoids don't have to be the grunt troops.
Sounds like something they are going to add subsequently based on how the developer spoke about it?

Okay, must have missed that. Thanks for the info!
