VICE needs to hire a photographer and get Austin a new picture to use.

 

[SomberOwl]

Like Jeff said in his NMS stream I wish run was on the left stick.

 

[Suplexer]

Always loved Austin's written voice. I was never too attached to Patrick's though, he was always more of a video guy for me so I might actually end up sticking with Austin on Vice and reading what he's up to with the added bonus of Klepek being around too. Good read, certainly got me more excited about the game.

 

[Xater]

Man No man's Sky looks really boring int hat QL. The idea of exploring a huge undiscovered galaxy is exciting, but what you actually do int he game is just so pedestrian. It's nothing I haven't seen in dozens of other games. Some of it I have seen done better.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Like Jeff said in his NMS stream I wish run was on the left stick.

Another reminder of why I love the Steam controller so much, although I'm sure the PC version will have its own customizable controls.

 

[Concrete Charlie]

One of you dudes should put together an awesome Vice Gaming | Official Topic so that all that great information from Austin and Patrick can be gathered and placed in one convenient spot. Please.

Who's that Mike fella at Vice?

Edit ah someone at Vice UK

 

[justjim89]

The conversation in this NMS QL has been hilarious. Dan and Vinny are so good together. Especially anytime Vinny is fucking with Dan and Dan doesn't realize it right away.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Vice.com's Austin Walker (under the influence of weed, I have to assume) sat down and wrote a letter about his early experiences with No Man's Sky to some Youtuber.

Nice.

 

[Houndi101]

So Persona 5 is gonna be released in Europe too next February, that's neat.

"You're talking about the Six."

 

[Curufinwe]

Would this help?

 

[Felix Lighter]

The Moon's gravity part of the conversation pushed it too far, now I believe Dan is actually well versed in the categorization of living things and is also an amature astrophysicist.

 

[Incandenza]

Did anything good come out of SnapMap? I feel like the one thing keeping Doom 2016 from being quite as good as the old Dooms is not having an endless supply of fan-made maps to keep you busy.

 

[Ashby]

Hey, this is only tangentially related to Giant Bomb but I wish there was some sort of Closed Captioning standard for online content like there is on TV. My cousin is deaf and I know he would love Giant Bomb but there's really no way for him to experience it.

 

[popo]

NMS isn't a great stream game. Might be more fun to play, will have to try for myself.

What will FunkyStudent complain about now?

A great ideal but until we reach the point where a computer can generate subtitles on the fly -that would be crazy expensive.

I think they are adding custom campaign support to Snapmap, that should be really cool.

 

[Maiorum]

Live bombcast in a couple of hours, right?

 

[TharpDaddy]

"Don't go to 0 AD he'll be a baby."

Dan...

Him saying that made me laugh. This is a good QL.

 

[Catvoca]

I don't think I've liked a single snap-map that I've tried

 

[Volotaire]

Live bombcast in a couple of hours, right?

Lang Zone!

EDIT: Yeh. 1.5 hours

 

[Houndi101]

So are we getting the Starbound QL or not?
Did Jeff play it on UPF the week Dan lost Loser Leaves Town?

Edit Also this Persona 4 group date cafe voting thing hits too close to home in 2016

 

[Master_Funk]

Holy shit this mammal and bird discussion on NMS sky ql. I expect that from Dan, but not from Vinny or Alex. Do you learn this stuff in American schools?

Yes we do learn that. You have to give people slack when they're inside the Ryckert-distortion field.

 

[GustyGardens]

I'll just say that I really like No Man's Sky.

 

[RepairmanJack]

It sucks waiting for NMS on PC. I kept holding out hope the delay rumors were false.

 

[NeroAngelo]

Really not feeling NMS.It seems kind of dull, even with the space exploration.

 

[Houndi101]

Oh yea Jeff seemed positive, well engaged by it, during his stream but didn't say much when quitting it.
Hopefully we'll hear during the bombcast

 

[Renpatsu]

Reminder: I'll link the live bombcast thread here around about when the chat goes up for the stream.

What's daydream up to?

 

[Renpatsu]

What's daydream up to?

Working late tonight is the excuse he gave me.

 

[derFeef]

Dan: Dolphins are mammals.
[...]
Alex: Not all mammals have hair.
Dan: Really?

I wanna know Dan's imagination of a dolphin.

LOL

Edit:

Chat is up

Adam Boyes and the lady from Iron Galaxy I forget are on the pod

To be fair, I believe most cetaceans actually do have hair follicles, that either don't produce hair after they're born or produce tiny hairs.

Sounds like a question Jotaro could answer.

 

[Empty Space]

"Don't go to 0 AD he'll be a baby."

Dan...

If I remember right the modern dating system doesn't really start after Jesus' death. 0 AD is actually likely pretty close to the year of his birth and 33AD is closer to his year of death. I have no idea if Dan knows this, but either this is the least of his Danisms in the quick look.

They have very little at birth on their nose, beak, muzzle or whatever you call it. I think some keep it?

 

[jaina]

Rorie and Danny checking into the Podcast room is such a tease.

But today's not a day to complain.

 

[Zaph]

oh shit, full house. Looks like this pod will make up for last week's

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Lot of folks in that there podcast studio!

 

[Volotaire]

Damn. This is going to be good.

 

[MassiveNights]

7 person Bombcast?!

Dolphins have hair.

 

[Volotaire]

The Shoemaker has entered.

 

[Zaph]

That's a lot of executives from one company. Jeff better get an exclusive out of them

 

[derFeef]

Dolphins have hair.

Whiskers. Not hair.

Spoiler

Semantics!!

 

[Volotaire]

YOOO. DISH OF THE DAY!?!

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Dan: Dolphins are mammals.

Alex: Not all mammals have hair.
Dan: Really?

Alex is incorrect. Hair is one of the defining features of mammals.
