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.

Ok at least that answers one question. It is really odd though, I type in the exact code and it just says "Link Failed Please check your code and try again" when I know I put it in correctly.

How annoying.

EDIT: It is also happening on Luchadeer. Is there something up with Giant Bomb's boxee codes or am I a massive idiot?

 

[Mister Negative]

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.

Challenging is one thing, but I would like to echo Brad's sentiment that enemies that can res other dead enemies are bullshit and unfun.

Exact same behavior I ran into with the API stuff. They're probably doing something behind-the-scenes. Try again in a couple hours maybe? Or ask Rorie.

i think the bombcast is canceled

 

[kvk1]

i think the bombcast is canceled

finally we can live

 

[shortsFortallPeople]

So they finally cancelled it?

I knew Brad wouldn't take this goty defeat well

Time to listen to rooster teeth podcast while letting the engine run in garage.

I have emailed Rorie, thanks for the advice!

Finished Life is Strange last night, that game was great.

Not gonna argue because you are right. I think that it won't be so bad. If it sucks I will be sad, but since I'm not pre-ordering the game or anything, I'll know if it sucks before I buy it.

You bet, hope it starts working for you.

Late Bombcast today. I need to go out and shovel at some point.

 

[killroy87]

I start my walk home in 40 minutes, come onnnnnn Bombcast!

 

[kiguel182]

Well, this is it for me. Tomorrow I'll have something to listen to I guess.

 

[wild_fire987]

Remember the days when Ryan edited the podcast and it would sometimes not come out till like 10pm PST... We have all been spoiled by Brads timeliness.

 

[Twin Tails]

Jeff has his shit together when releasing bombcast.

Hey

Does the Shovel Knight PS4 retail edition come with a code for the Vita version?

I cant for the life of me find a answer. I kind of want it to add to the collection but I really want to play on Vita.

Dan, buy an occulus rift.

Than you won't have the money to buy amiibos.

I can understand the 30th Anniversary Mario one because that's your only means of getting the big mushroom in Mario Maker, but now you're just being stupid.

maybe check whether the retail disc has the "cross-buy" sticker: http://us.playstation.com/games-and-media/crossbuy/ ?
otherwise the cross-buy only applies to digital Shovel Knight

edit: Now I doubt the PS4 has the "disc benefits" option mentioned in the PS3 article

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Listening to the last Beastcast and got to the point where Austin was talking about MechWarrior Online, which led to this:

@austin_walker You should do a MechWarrior Online QL, never done by GB, just a short UPF segment. Plus it just recently launched on Steam.

@ThreePiMatt Funny you say that

I do not know, but I seriously doubt it. Hardly ANY third party retail games have been crossbuy between PS4/PS3 and Vita.

I hope that means they're going to play more Amiibo Festival.

 

[jaina]

Dan is late to the party, the GAF thread about the cheap Tom Nooks is days old and I'm surprised there are still any left.
He's not amiibo crazy yet.

Because people keep buying his shirts and Wrestlemania only happens once a year

 

[Strax]

C'mon Brad its almost midnight. I need my sleepytime bombcast.

 

[sproutella]

I know there are other McElroy aficionados here. Finishing up this week's MBMBaM.

Their answer to that utilities question was crazy.

What's the issue? Unless you are good friends with the roommate no way in hell would you change the split for one month. Maybe if you are moving out a month before them, that makes sense. Otherwise way too big an ask to save like 50$

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

I think about how late it is, but then I think about how it's only 4PM their time... which somehow makes me more impatient.

 

[Alfredo]

I hope that means they're going to play more Amiibo Festival.

Finally, some Desert Island Escape.

[darksagus]

I remember the days when the bombcast coming out right now would be considered early.

Those were dark days and we must not speak of them again.

I had a bigger problem with their rent analogy. Rent is a constant. Of course you split that if you aren't there. If you left the place vacant, you wouldn't be paying utilities. They have a direct tie between cost and usage.

Like you said, I wouldn't push it to save like $50. If you were out for multiple months, that would be a different story. I just think their analogy was awful.

 

[petethepanda]

Damn, bombcastless commutes home on Tuesday are the worst .

 

[Keyser Soze]

Everyone listen to some Hall & Oates when you wait for the Bombcast...

[Mister Negative]

I'm gonna be honest with you guys, up until very recently I thought Massive Chalice was like, only the bloodline component of that game. I thought it was more like Crusader Kings 2 than anything else. I didn't realize that the actual...game was like XCOM. So it's basically XCOM meets Crusader Kings lite, and that seems pretty dope?

When I was in Japan back in October I had the option of either going to see Hall & Oates or Whitesnake in concert. I saw Whitesnake.

I almost got that game like 3 times, but each time I remembered "Oh but XCOM 2 is soon so I'll just wait for that."

XCOM meets Worms is a better mix though...

Steamworld Heist

That's where I'm at right now. I also keep hovering over XCOM 1 in my steam library. But I don't want to play it because I don't want to get burned out on the genre.

 

[Askherserenity]

Ok, Brad has taken it too far now.

Give it to me, Brad.

 

[MassiveNights]

I put off doing dishes so I could do them with the Bombcast on but now it's too late to do them.

 

[jaina]

I don't think Bombcast will happen. They have control over us.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Is Bombcast cocaine?

 

[QFNS]

I almost got that game like 3 times, but each time I remembered "Oh but XCOM 2 is soon so I'll just wait for that."

I played it. It was really really OK. I wasn't disappointed, but it really felt like that game was rushed. The lack of budget showed IMO. The core of the gameplay is pretty fun (easily enough for me to get though to the end of the game), but I had no desire to keep playing or try anything other than the strategy that worked for me. I think you are taking the right move by waiting for (Se)XCOM 2.

It's days like this that makes me appreciate the Beastcast going up at the same time every week.

 

[daydream]

just when i had my sleep cycle fixed, too

the things i do

 

[TraBuch]

Seriously though, person who mentioned it earlier that I can't be bothered to go back and see who, is Griffin McElroy's stream of Yakuza 5 archived anywhere?
