Why isn't called a Swimming Snooker?

If you played pool in pools I'd play more pool.

I ended up watching the trailer just to hear the song. Christ.

 

[popo]

I thought snooker, billiards, and pool were all names for the same game.
In my defense I've played pool once.

English can be an overly nuanced language. I have heard numerous friends saying "want to play some billiards?" meaning pool. They know they mean pool and I know they mean pool - so why not just say pool?

I'm gonna write a tweet that says you win nothing

 

[Antiwhippy]

I'm listening to an old beastcast where they're talking about the witness now, and has austin ever published that thing he planned to write about on The witness?

 

[SomberOwl]

Maaan I can't believe they are actually forcing you to buy the new COD to get COD:4 Remastered.

 

[Twin Tails]

Will buy from ebay or just buy LE and sell off.

They'll probably stick it on PSN some time next year.

Actually I'm going to bet that within a month they'll have the games separate.

Avatar bet?

Or broken off as MW classic: a f2p game.

this page is super depressing

One of the Dragon Quest remakes on DS has a neverending boat ride if you're playing a pirate copy.

Oh, and Spyro 3 does this, amongst other things (including the same final boss crash/wipe as Earthbound), which is a nice little guilt trip

I borrowed my friends copy of Spyro 3 as a teenager and my PS2 wouldnt read the disc despite it being fine. I decided to play it in an emulator which managed to read the disc but triggered the illegal copy message.
Some of the things I remember having to deal with were:
-being unable to save properly, so i had to use savestates
-having to replay several of the animal friend missions multiple times before they would count as completed (which you need to do to move onto the next hubworld) I never want to do the Sgt Byrd levels ever the fuck again.
-I never played much of the final world because some of the levels froze the game, and trying to fight the final boss would take me to the 100% reward room every time instead.

Avatar bet?

Mmm...

See I'm basing this off of nothing and just kind of expect people holding the CoD licence to be greedy.

So I'mma play it safe and hold off on any actual betting.

Does Jeff's pronunciation actually make sense to you Americans. As a british dude it literally sounds insane.

Will we get a novelization of Space Jam 2?

 

[stump sock]

someone go find tharp, he'll probably bet

I don't think kids today know what books are.

Jeff does and thats all I care about.

To market a golf game, you must make it clear how much you do not like golf.

 

[Tubobutts]

Jeff does and thats all I care about.

But I don't think they're making movie novelizations to corner the Jeff Gerstmann market.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Oooo the end of the Dangerous Golf Unfinished when he says they quit there jobs, pooled their life savings and made this game. Hopefully, my initial impression, this game is just them getting a feel for the tech before they work on the real project is correct because that game just doesn't look all that fun.

Yeah, it's super weird. Makes me less interested in the games when they show no care for the sport.

 

[KingKong]

Dangerous Golf looks like something that should have been part of the Summer of Arcade 8 years ago

Yes. As a person who has played it, that's how it's pronounced over here.

It probably sounds crazy if you've heard the UK version your whole life, but there's a logic behind our US version in that it's pronounced the same way as looker, booker, hooker, etc.

How was the other Nioh stream?

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

How was the other Nioh stream?

There was another Nioh stream?

 

[Twin Tails]

How was the other Nioh stream?

It was a false stream notification, I think that is what I saw a few pages back.

 

[Tubobutts]

Austin wins one award and then starts lying about Nioh streams. We fucking made you Walker.

 

[Teddified]

I'm actually surprised at how much I like Nioh, I figured it'd just bounce off me I guess I'm a sucker for the samurai aesthetic.

I started enjoying it a lot more once I got a purple spear and a bunch of good armor. I still occasionally do the same thing Austin was doing and try to attack like Dark Souls.

It's terrible, but not as bad as listening to people from Barnsley say 'jalapeno'

I have a suspicion that we'll see some Mario party action this week.

 

[RE_Player]

The new Call of Duty has been revealed. So anyone taking bets on Brad asking the question "Is this the year Call of Duty declines?" or something in that vain next podcast? I feel like he's been going strong since the first Black Ops.

 

[Twin Tails]

That would be quite excellent.

I hope so, though I still suspect they might be saving it for PAX Prime.

Dominos is having carry out special on large pizzas so it's the best time for a Mario Party Party.

Damn, sounds like his copy was legit fucked. (You'd know if it was pirate, the disc art is always a right state)

It's so good to be back in Overwatch

Ah right, damn

I'm watching a stream right now and it looks like a lot of fun. I'll have to try out the open beta later.
