I was looking at the Duskers quick look on youtube and apparently people don't like Austin content. Do I even want to know why? I could certainly guess a few reasons.

Because to them, the only thing worse than a games writer who doesn't shy away from social issues is one who's also a person of color. Every QL with Austin gets a consistent wave of thumbs-downs as soon as it's posted; it's pathetic.

HITDAN IS THE FUCKING BEST HOLY SHIT IT IS SO GOOD

s-tier fucking content

 

[Piston Hyundai]

so if you had to decide between demo derby and hitdan

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Demo derby 11 times out of 10.

 

[LiK]

So Dan got Drew and Brad now. Who's next for him after Hitman is done?

 

[kai3345]

so if you had to decide between demo derby and hitdan

i'd say hitdan, despite them being infuriatingly awful at the game

the weird promotional videos and stuff are what make demo derby so great, not necessarily the games themselves, and this episode lacked a lot of those

You know what'd be cool? If Alex and Patrick recorded a one off Bombin' the AM, pretending as if the show never ended. I love the Beastcast and I love Match 3, but I miss it.

Take a hike, Kyle.

Demo derby in a heartbeat. I don't get as infuriated with that as I do hitdan.

And maybe I missed something, was the hitdan episode that everyone talking about the one that has an 'unhappy ending?'

 

[Death Metalist]

Enjoying Dangerous Golf in short bursts but man, the loading times are brutal on Xbox One.

But that's polygamy

What do you mean "despite?" Part of the greatness of HitDan is how shitty they are at the game.

Also, they just need to stay in the fifth and sixth console generations for Demo Derby to work best. I don't think 360 demo discs provide the best riff material.

 

[Tubobutts]

That's a different website.

Don't marry websites.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

So Dan got Drew and Brad now. Who's next for him after Hitman is done?

He'll do a series with Jason where he teaches him how to play fighting games. They'll call the series Street Striker X Tekkdan.

Jeff and Dan: Super Mario Sunshine

Have to say, used to trip me up when I click on a QL and see many dislikes, thinking it's, you know, a bad video. Now I know it means it's a GBeast QL.

I don't know about used to

just replace GBeast with 'Patrick'

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Jeff and Dan: Super Mario Sunshine

Jeff and Dan watch Brad play through Sunshine. He's never played it before, apparently.

I think that Bombin' did a better job of integrating contributors from outside of the site into GB styled content better than the guest articles do. I'm a little disappointed that the rotating 4th chair on the Beastcast is just a dead joke now; not because Jeff isn't great but because I thought it was another good way to get guests on the site.

Didn't Metal Gear Scanlon 5 show that they shouldn't do endurance runs of games that are fucking ass?

 

[Salty Catfish]

yup, same exact group that hated Patrick has moved on to Austin.

 

[Strimei]

Man I am loving Hitdan. I assume at this point they'll do the other episodes as they come out, right?

I really hope so.

 

[funkystudent]

E3 is in a week.

Get Hype

What if I didn't really like Patrick but Austin was my second favorite up until he didn't do a Total War: Warhammer quick look?

 

[Antiwhippy]

Start posting hate messages on youtube I guess.

With what happened with Disney Infinity, is there a chance Johnny V might not be there?

What if I liked Patrick but don't like Austin?

Then thumbs down everything.

it's not like the game forces you to do dumb grindy bullshit to see the ending like in MGSV, though

they save that for 100% completion

 

[Twin Tails]

Witcher mission was short but worth it.

E3 is in a week.

Get Hype

Excited

 

[Tubobutts]

Speaking of E3, an assassins creed sword cane is only $10 on Amazon so how's the time to buy one if Ubisoft requested for you to be there.

 

[Data West]

Sometimes I like to think about how much Ryan would rip on Dan if they had become co-workers.

Probably a lot. Probably a lot.

Aisha Tyler bouncing out of there was amazing. No segue. Just quietly GET ME OUT OF HERE.

I hope they go full carny this year. Make a stuntmen drop into a haystack and swap in Fassbender to promote the movie. I want larp fights for For Honor. I want Yves to do a line of coke for Wildlands.

I watched some of the Sony conference from last year. It's sorta funny seeing Dan and Brad watching the Hitman trailer, as well as noticing the locations they've been to in the game.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Also I like how none of the ending cutscenes in hitman feature the actual hitman at all.

 

[broncobuster]

That Hitman E3 trailer is really good. Glad the game is, too. But what a trailer that is.

 

[stump sock]

I want Yves to do a line of coke for Wildlands.

"If you look under your seat, you'll see that we've given you all a small baggie of salvia..."

remember when she posted on GAF for a while

what the fuck, man

 

[Antiwhippy]

Not really her fault either.

I felt like she handled the whole situation appropriately even.

 

[funkystudent]

Yeah. Real happy Hitman turned out OK.


Makes me kind of wish MGSV was episode Ground Zeros sized missions one after another for a year.

 

[Megasoum]

I'm surprised that nobody is selling AC Rogue in the BST thread. Normally people always end up with a bunch of leftovers from bundles.

I guess not that many people actually had Rogue to begin with lol

 

[BreezyLimbo]

capinslapin asked:If I were to put a hidden microphone in Giant Bomb production meetings, would that microphone pick up discussion of bumping the video resolution up to 1080p?

No. Doing 1080p right (meaning not using some low-bitrate consumer grade shit box) is a zillion dollars. We’ll get there someday, but not until we can get there across the board.

Wait their videos aren't 1080p

could've fooled me

 

[Megasoum]

Wait their videos aren't 1080p

could've fooled me

Vinny always said that they prefer having high bitrate 720p video than medium bitrate 1080p.

Since high bitrate 1080p videos aren't financially viable right now they are sticking to 720p.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Do most people need it in 1080 anyway? I almost never full screen a giantbomb video.
