I'm dying at the latest VRodeo. VR has already proven itself to be mankind's greatest invention for giving us SurrealVR.
Wow, New Day gonna get the record for most combined days holding the tag championships.

yeah I thought the same thing, I kept thinking I missed something special about it aside from it being next to a beach. I guess the bar for "greatest Taco Bell" is predictably low, though.

Aitchbone, Sausage and Lasagne are pretty good.
I can't report on anything because I'm already experiencing what I hope we don't experience once this thing starts.

Playing Xenoblade X has made me realize that No Man's Sky, and open world RPGs as well, could learn a lot from that game. It's so good at rewarding the player not only for battle, but for exploration. Need money? Sure you could do quests, but you could also could go and find probe points and set stuff up to generate income as you could explore. The value of the random collectables you just pick up also gets pretty significant. Need to level your skills? You can find little things to excavate or you could fill out the collector's book.
The only things you're really required to get out of battles are monsters materials and EXP for your base level (Which seems to be pretty much soley to lock you out of equipment) as well as class EXP. It even gives you an alternate way to get mats as you can just exchange reward tickets for them.
Exploration games are typically really bad at rewarding players for non-combat activities, but it's cool to see one get it right.

I think it's a little presumptuous to say what NMS needs to learn when the game isn't even out yet. 
Also that kinda sounds like the Fallout 4 settlement stuff.

I mean, the things I really hope they get right as well. I'm not super interested in that game, but a really great reward system for the exploration could do it wonders.

Atleast I want to see the menu or something but I guess their answer is get fucked for having it early.

why should they put the servers up before their release date
actually, they already ARE putting them up before release considering they go live tomorrow at 7:00 EST instead of on the 24th

I'm not opposed to the idea of them not getting the servers up before release date, that's logical. What I'm saying is I don't think the menu should have been tied to the servers but I guess this is one of those "press A and everything is going to be on servers" type of game.

They should run the Minecraft mod for the Vive on the next VRodeo. It's room scale, with teleporting and Vive controller support and I was shocked by how well the implemented the motion controls and UI. A real pleasant surprise.

I played it a few months ago, it's great.

But is it as good as Lair of the Shadow Broker?
Still waiting on that Bioshock HHD Collection so I can find out.

Still a game I planned to play a while ago. Ever since they gave out all DLC.
Alright, gonna do this then.
No you don't. ITS FUN MAN.
Yeah I just played a bit.
On the technical side it's totally fine. The only thing is that it actually changed the global Windows brightness instead of using a custom setting specific to the game so my second screen looks super bright when I play but it goes back to normal when I quit so whatever.
Brad already spoiled the ending for me during the GOTY cast but I only have a vague memory of it.
I would think that Dan would subscribe to the theory that all Taco Bells are equally great. Guess not.

I have a terrible competitive side that I try to avoid nowadays. Terrible character flaw.
Oh. I get ya.
I'm partial to that badass shining wizard he did tonight to win the match.
Dan wouldn't be able to podcast for a month.
so notch melting down on twitter again is not really relevant or imho particularly threadworthy but it did lead to this headline which i think is amazing
