Not really fighting. Kotaku gave Overwatch porn attention and got Blizzard to notice so now they're taking it down. Pretty useless cuz porn can be found in many sites who don't give a shit about DMCA. It'll probably die down in a few weeks after release hype.

First Kotaku causes No Mans Sky to be delayed and now they're depriving us of Overwatch porn? History's greatest monsters.

Why is it like a mix of military time and standard time?

Dinjooh created this stylised table last year and this year. It's a mixture because last year people were complaining that they found 24 hour clock confusing for the whole table. So in response, 24 hour clock was provided for Europe peeps and AM/PM format for US peeps.

Dan's wrong, South Park is just as good as it's always been.

That stuff is almost entirely subjective of course, but South Park has been pretty bad for a few years for me. Last season was kind of a return to form, but It`s not anywhere near what it once was for me. I guess I just find the satire a lot more boring now than I used to, and it`s so formulaic (presenting two sides as extremes and then having one of the kids explain to the viewer that neither is right, obviously).

Jeff preaching the gospel of Overwatch to those heathens at Kinda Funny.

Yeah, I'm getting really tired of their fence-sitting smug bullshit for every single episode. Stick of Truth was great because it was all about the boys being boys, which is what South Park has always excelled at.

I feel like after every single episode airs, there're a bunch of people that're like "Holy shit this show is so bad now. One of the worst episodes of the entire series.", and then there're a bunch of people like "HAHAHA! That was amazing. One of the best episodes ever, they've still got it!"

Nice. Jeff representing with some GB merch too.

I got tired of the Gamescast because they tended to recycle the subjects after a while, but it`s always a good time when Dan and Jeff are on.

You pretty much just summed up the internet. Everything is either the worst thing ever or the best thing ever.

Oh yeah, Stick of Truth was absolutely fantastic. I get why they have to focus on the most current bullshit going on with the production schedule they have for the show, but yeah, I would like for some more stories like that instead of the pretty flaccid satire it has turned into now. I just hope they continue to write musicals.

South Park has been on the satire train for a long time, but I feel like the moment they decided they always have to talk about the fresh new shit was the Obama episode where they had lines from his speech in the episode that he had given less than 24 hours earlier. Everybody thought that was so awesome so now it's like they only want to talk about whatever's going on.

The last two seasons of South Park have been such a disappointment since they to a major episode-to-episode continuity. They only need 2-3 themes/new characters to miss and the entire season is saddled with that bullshit.

Jeff is like me watching movies. Fucking with my phone. :D

I'm kinda shocked that Jeff didn't know if it Escape came out or not when its maybe the last big adventure game released until 2005 or something and got good reviews that all pointed out the same problem (Monkey Kombat)

In that it's just as bad as it was from the very start.
It was always about being "above the issues" so to speak.
Caring is for dumb emotional people!

To actually be on topic though, I finally watched that The Witness video with Blow in it.
I don't agree with how he views the world but his thoughts on gamedesign are fascinating and hearing him talk about specific red herrings or whatever was great.

I'm only interested by Kinda Funny's Gaming content which comprises of the Gamescast, PS I love You and a playthrough here and there. I only occasionally catch PS I Love You and usually consume the Gamescast in segments, which they split for each episode, which interest me.

Yeah, it`s a great video. Seemed like Blow enjoyed it too, I remember him praising the format of the video towards the end of the video.

Yeah he praises the open and laidback format of just talking without a script.
It was a great video even if The Witness is literally unplayable for me.
A shame since the "advanced" mechanics in it look really cool.

I am remembering this right but since this was recorded Jeff has said (on UPF I think) he enjoys it more now ?

I mean in the terms of stop playing in a week.

you don't realise how much you like Overwatch until you stop playing Overwatch and you can still hear the timer countdown ringing in your ear

In the future, every game will be some variation of this:

Drew talks a bit more about that on Alt+F1. Don't have a timestamp or anything unfortunately.

Thanks. I'll have to check it out.

Actually started looking up submarine life after it. Never occurred to me that there'd need to be a fitness room. But with weights and such, I wonder how you handle the noise etiquette.

Pure E3 conference stream first, then GB.

The E3 conferences are their own mix of hype, awkward, disappointment and occasional triumph. It needs to be savoured as its own thing while F5'ing forum threads for fan meltdowns.

Then I go back to them with GB commentary track
