Stahp talking about how good the Beastcast is! I try and enjoy it on my commutes to work over a few days, and y'all are making me want to listen to it all in one sitting!
 
Does this explain Dan's extreme new look?

holy shit I missed Austin so much. his laugh always get to me. Im actually going to listen to his Vice podcast tbh
 
Watching the Brutatl QL and of course it starts with Brad "I Gotta Turn Off Those Notifications" Shoemaker. It's also weird that Jason knows about this game. I'm so used to the other person not knowing it at all.
 
Like clockwork, no Brad PS4 QL without complaining about notifications.

Austin it will just make the times he isn't there harder now. :(
 
The last part of the Beastcast is precisely why I appreciate Dan's willingness to ask questions most people would consider stupid. I'm 100% with Vinny: the answers to those dumbass questions are usually taken for granted, with little consideration given to a) the constantly shifting methodologies used to produce them and b) the complex reasoning behind something as simple as a statement like "No, of course a fucking chicken isn't a mammal." Even his stupid history questions help shine a light on common historiographic concerns about how history is catalogued, taught, and subsequently interpreted.

don't you mean "haha dan is so dumb"
 
Yeah man, i had to bail on all the NMS threads pretty much. People there are just breeding negativity. I understand the game is a love it or hate it type of thing, but ill be damned if i let people ruin my hype for today.

I understand its not what everyone wanted or hoped or dreamed.. but im gonna enjoy what is there and look forward to the future.

Im looking at NMS as a canvas that modders and future updates are going to use to paint in the holes. Im not sure if it has workshop support, but I imagine mods will start dropping relatively quickly.
 
Why would you ever read gaming for a game that just released and is popular?
Gaf is better than a lot of internet places but when it comes to stuff like that it's the same shit as everywhere.

No Man's Sky is my first time playing a hugely hyped game at release. I take a peak at some of the non-OT threads and they are a mess. Like, damn. I didn't know it got this bad at Gaf.

GAF can be kind of a shit show in certain gaming threads. I don't know what it is, but people get so defensive because someone has a different opinion. It's always been a rule of mine to stay out of review threads. They're the absolute worst.

its 60 bucks dude. dont treat it like an early access game
 
it's gross how people seem to be taking glee in nms getting mediocre reviews in that thread.

That's a big thing I've never ever understood.
Why would you want a game to get bad reviews?
Do you not want every game to be fantastic so we all have great games to play?
This mentality of wanting games to fail is incredibly weird to me.

Then you have this guy that Alex responded to on Twitter. Looking through the guy's Twitter, he seems super-hardcore XBOX and believes there is a concerted effort among journalists to downplay XBOX. In a response to Alex, Arthur Gies, of all people, seems to imply the guy's YouTube page is something else.

Haven't been paying a ton of attention to Giant Bomb lately but this week's Beastcast was fantastic. Are there any videos from the past month or so that I should catch up on? The only things I've really watched are the Hitman videos. Thanks in advance

The rabid NMS reddit crowd haven't helped. Understandable if people were sick of them.
 
After playing No Man's Sky, I kind of wish the worlds created in Minecraft are planet like, where you can circumnavigate it. I would love to be able to take a boat on one coast and be able to reach the other coast. Same goes for GTA.
