I haven't played Overwatch since Monday :/ Doesn't have much lasting appeal for me personally, I wish they had custom maps/modes whatever like TF2.

I can see Overwatch being like TF2 for me in that I'll go back to it here and there for years.

You did good. Now awaiting impressions. Also, Hitman continues to be damn good.

They need to be certain QA accounted for all eventualities.

So has there actually been any talk about a Total War: Warhammer quick look? It seemed like it would have been a game well suited to GBEast.
Not yet, I remember seeing/hearing something about Austin not having time atm, hopefully at some point

E3 probably disrupted their scheduling.
You need to provide the number at the end of your name so people can add you, e.g. SleepyLesson#1234

I know it allows multiple people to have the same name, but the four numbers in a Battletag is dumb as hell.

I don't know why anyone would want to have the same name as mine.

I know someone who used to do QA for a company that did movie licensed GBA games and half his job was trying to jump through walls, etc. it sounded kind of awful
Yeah... I love working in QA but it's definitly not "Playing games all day"
This will be how twitter ends.
QA is fun because of the camaraderie you build with your other QA folks. The job itself is a job.
He is/was a producer. Even if he stays with Disney, I don't think they will have him negociating licencing deals any time soon. I guess he could be working with EA or one of their partners. He also livesi n LA I believe, so he might just come and hang out.
It was weird the first time but his wife does it every year on his birthday.

The end of that Hitman video was amazing. I'm not sure what you guys are talking about in terms of not knowing the mechanics. It seems much less obvious in this compared to most games they play for an extended period like Kerbal, Persona, Chrono Trigger, MGS, etc.
Yup exactly. I started as a tester back in 2008 and loved it but moved to other positions within the QA team in 2010 and I'm happy to still work there without having to do actual testing. Like you said, it's a job. It can be fun at times but at the end of the day it's a serious job.
What's great is working with those people and working inside the industry. Seeing games and hardware years before the general public.
After almost ten years in the industry I still smile sometimes when I look at my outlook and see an email from someone using a @nintendo.com or @sony.com or @microsoft.com email...
Or you know... That one time I asked a question on the Sony dev forums and Mark Cerny replied with an answer 30minutes later.
It's the little things like those that make you go "Man... I have a fucking cool job".
I think they meant networking as him trying to find a new job, not new deals for Disney. Also... He's totally gonna end up in Boyes' team at Sony.
Should I get the Ubi Humble Bundle for $15?
Games I'd get out of it:
- The Crew (although I just bought Forza Horizon 2)
- AC Rogue (haven't played 4 yet but heard good things about Rogue)
- AC Chronicles China
- Splinter Cell Blacklist (had it on an older Ubi account but I'm OK with buying it again for my new account, it's a good game)
- Rayman Origins (have it on ALL THE PLATFORMS but why not for Uplay as well)
I already own/have played the rest.

Like I said, I think it's highly likely he's gonna move on from Disney soon. E3 is the perfect place to explore options.
My wife tweeted about not knowing where a package was and UPS responded to ask her to email them for help. She freaked out a little because didn't know they did that.
WoW does too. I had an Argent Squire that I pretended was my son.

I think it's mostly the fact that they never notice the trespassing marker or under the compromised stuff or really anything got to do with npc suspicion. They're slowly figuring out that people can see through a disguise when there's a dot over their head which isn't complicated and probably has been explained to them on Twitter a billion times.
Not that I'm complaining, mind you. It's my favourite feature going right now because of their cluelessness.
? The mechanics are actually more obvious than most of those other games.
The tutortial also flat out explains them, but it's taken them about 10 hours of game time to understand what the dots over peoples heads mean, plus common sense stuff like people not being distracted by a coin they see you throw.
That said, it actually makes the videos funnier so it's not a big deal,

That's the one. Doom64 EX is faithful to the original, only on PC, and proper controls and options. There have been wads and whatnot in the past but EX is the best way to play Doom 64.

I was playing it earlier, it's quite good. also I still stand behind it being a good game.

The fact that they are 80% uPlay keys bothers me enough to never touch those bundles for the most part. I may end up getting the $1 trio as two are Steam keys and offering the Rayman key to BombGAF.
Also, The Crew is going to be free on Games With Gold at the midpoint of the month, so it might not be worth going for it here (if you have access to XBL Gold). If all my guessing is correct it might not be worth going $15 for just one extra game.
Don't have XBLG anymore, but Forza Horizon 2 is on its way and I can't wait to play that so buying another racing game isn't the best idea right now.
Ok, I'll skip this bundle.
Yeah I felt this way too and eventually turned it off due to boredom. I may tune in but it was dragging a lot. I like Dan and Brad playing these episodes but when playing them for over an hour I think the routine gets pretty boring.
Hehehehe
Big "HUNTED" message flashes on screen
Brad: Are they looking for me?
Dan and the rest of the world: Yes, do something!
Brad: Are they really?
*dead*
I feel like at some point their fundamental misunderstanding of how anything in Hitman works goes from funny to just frustrating

Boooy this game is good. I've pretty much only played as Mercy.

Are the other ones actually steam keys or are they just steam keys that require you to run Uplay ala Far Cry?
I don't mind the fact that they are uPlay codes but the only game I don't have in that bundle that might interest me is AC Rogue and I'm not paying 15$ for that

Pulling a Dan Rykert because life is too long. 1.5 items in.... this is probably too much food.
It's a fun little game that I enjoyed my time with. Worth playing through the campaign at least. It's less impressive than SR3, but fun in its own right.
Just buy it on PC, obviously. Last gen console versions ran like complete ass. Not sure if the current gen ports were much better.

If you played Saints Row 3 you've played enough of Saints Row.
The intro to 4 is amazing, but once you're in the simulation it's just a little too much. 4 is just more 3 but with less reason to use vehicles.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I liked it as a "Run around and collect shit" game while listening to podcasts. It's alright. It might be a bit better than alright. I liked it more than SR3 though
