Saying someone seems cool is worshipping them?

You're reading a lot into that comment!

not you specifically, but in general

the way people latch onto a single person from a team (miyamoto, gabe newell, levine, etc) irks me

 

[Meguro]

I think Kojima is probably the biggest example of that, even if he actually has a LOT of input into the games he directs.
Probably moreso than most, which is how stuff like Bond references make it into a game like MGS3.

What is that GameInformer video that Dan references, the one where one of his colleagues hates him and makes no secret of it?

thx

They talk about it in the the Punch-Out Stress Test, and you can get plenty of Dan being shitty to JeffM in the Ninja Gaiden Super Replay.

Just finished upf. I could shared a virtual space with Brad.

Edit: Dammit. I knew Sleeping would be in there. Jello.

Edit2: Fobwashed trying hard to retain his #1 fan title.

man, I really hate the cult of personality surrounding so many video game developers

What an incredibly stupid post.

Was I the only one that heard one of the DOTA commentators say "and we are live on UPF" some ways into the DOTA segment? I wonder how large a part of their audience knew what the hell he was talking about.

That was Sleeping Lesson talking to other people in the lobby haha

so, i know they're trying to do a little thing like create a new site, but if Austin and Patrick could drop by CBSi, that would be an incredible Beastcast. They could write it off to Vice as audience building

Is this the same guy that Dan fucked with everyday on his commute?

Edit: To answer my own question, yes it is the same guy

Dan playing Hitman with Vinny is so good

Just started UPF and the quantity of plaid is at an all time high despite the smaller crew.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Listening to the latest Beastcast, I think Dan's topic of irrational hatred has finally been revealed (TellTale adventures / adventure games in general(?)).

Now every member of Giant Bomb, except Drew who is perfect, has a codified irrational feeling towards certain types of video games.

Somehow the plaid survives even in San Francisco. Or especially in San Francisco? I'm not sure anymore.

He never said adventure games in general, just Telltale games. And that hatred can be pretty rational. Their writing isn't exactly quality all the time and their game engine is inexcusable.

If San Fran gets nuked, all that will survive will be cockroaches and plaid.

Right, thanks for the correction.

While disdain towards TellTale can be rational... his wasn't. He specifically cited the IPs attached and Telltale's "QTE games" as the issue. Then the others, mainly Alex IIRC, made it a broader discussion about how TellTale's games have evolved into their own thing over time, and how that hasn't been a bad progression.

And really, no matter what you think of TellTale's games, Tales From the Borderlands should prove that TellTale still has it. Somehow... against all odds. (Although with the technical state of Batman, I really wonder how much longer they can hold on to their own success. They are their own worst enemy, by far.)

I'm looking forward to someone getting mad something isn't in the game and never was, but it would have been a spoiler to find out.

Speaking of the Beastcast, when Dan mentioned his step dad being used to the channel number reminded me alot about my Grandmother. She's used to the number of clicks she presses on the remote so I have to arrange all the channels she wants to the number of clicks she's used to...lol.

Spoiler

Some people have it worse, Dan.

That part was really interesting. Those kinds of stories are always so incredible, for how relatable they are.

 

[robotrock]

That Ninja Gaiden Game Informer playthrough is pretty incredible. That dude defending himself as dying on purpose, amazing.

My dad used to hold the remote in his left hand and press the buttons with the index finger of his right hand.

Could someone spoil me on what sort of game No Man's Sky actually is? It's Terraria, right?

I don't think there's really a building aspect as deep as in terraria. But there's more to explore.

But with guns too.

I still don't understand why people are so confused.
The developers have released plenty of videos and footage.

You explore space, go to planets, get minerals, fight things, go to knew planets, find new creatures, upgrade your shit, in a quest to get to the center of the u

Telltale just straight up feels soulless. Since they made The Walking Dead (2012) they've made 8 games and only one of them isn't based on something else, they all look the same and play the same.

That's only after the day 1 patch

I'm glad Dan is a different person now. His constant needling of this guy is straight up bullying.

That is kind of the atmosphere Game Informer had (has?) though?

Like it wasn't just Dan. Reiner also is great at getting under peoples skin.

According to Vinny everyone at Giant Bomb is a Giant Person and Dan is the shortest. He is probably intimidated.

Fair enough, out of context it's horrendous though.

Totally.
Dan got his though. There are some just ruthless moments where he was the victim as well/people are just constantly insulting him. The difference is Dan doesn't really get phased by insults

But what's the point of exploring space if there aren't any aliens to bone?

 

[EdReedFan20]

A thought occurred to me. As far as we know, no one has yet filled Adam Boyes' role at Sony and VP of Third Party Relations. What if it's being kept open to be filled by John Vignocchi after all the Disney stuff is wrapped up? I mean, while at Disney he (thanks to his friendship with Adam) created a nice relationship with PlayStation. Do you think it would be a good idea?
