I've been curious about how each of the guys spends their days. Since you apparently have a detailed schedule, could you send it along? Thanks.
The most unprofessional UPF of all time.

They said on the bombcast that there won't be.
:'(
He puts in work, way more work than you put into your lowest common denominator waste of time horseshit post thing.
I should hope so! A post like that should only take a couple of seconds to make.
Listening to that part of the beastcast, I found myself agreeing and disagreeing with Alex on this.
I definitely think that you should return your stuff if you so desire. Alex approaches this problem from the perspective of having gotten your money's worth out of something by experiencing it (listening to a song, playing to the end of the game). Also out of respect for the people who created the product.
I think that for people who've played +50 hours of No Man's Sky, have gotten several achievements, they should not be able to return it. But someone who's only played 5-8 hours should be well within their rights to return the game. They have spent the sufficient amount of time to judge something, and decide if it's for them or not.
Similarly, people who've spent more than 2 hours on a game like Gone Home shouldn't get such an easy pass on returning it. I'm unsure of what return policies are for movies and movie tickets, but something along those lines is fair.

You're right about one thing, nobody in this thread has any fucking idea what or how much Brad does there.

I mean
How long do you think it takes him to do his hair
Atleast 5 hours.
Bead does alot
Absolutely. Brad works up to several hours, sometimes. I can't even count how many seconds that is. 🤔
Doesn't he have a roommate? That is the rent for the apartment.

Chances that something unintentionally funny will happen during Sony's PlayStation Meeting stream on Wednesday that will cause the guys to lose it?

The rent is $2,800 but its split with his roommate so he is paying $1400 a month. Which isn't bad seeing how I pay $1,100 for my 1 bedroom in NJ.
?
It's certainly more than 99% of the population can say.
well yeah, although you can see 100% of what their output is though.

The refund talk on Bomb- and Beastcast was too much about the ethics of a refund in general. In the end it comes down to the platformholder and the law and not to some arbitrary feeling of how much is too much which was most of what they talked about.
People that actually wanted one after 50 hours of playtime are such a tiny fraction anyway, it's barely worth it.
What would've been interesting to me, and both didn't talk about that, is what a refund actually means for Steam, the publisher and the developer of a game. Who's actually losing anything here and is it even a loss for Steam at all, since the money is already in their eco-system.

Brad makes more money than 99% of the population? Damn, I need to get in on that sweet video game coverage deal.
Or they could just do a quick look of Microsoft Excel

I like the direction this has taken.
Ah yeah forgot about that. Man, fuck SF, that sounds like the worst.

I think my cousin pays about $1500/wk for a place in London.
That's just crazy, I'm looking at San Francisco downtown apartments and phew.
I understand the lack of space and people having above average income over there but that's nuts.
We need more monolithic skyscrapers!

PlayStaiton Meeting 2013 was run by SCEE. We could be in for some of that classic Sony Europe camera fuckery.
Cant wait to watch some "look how good this 4k gaming looks" sizzle wheels while they are filmed off screen by a moving camera behind a crowd which is taking up the bottom half of the screen.

That would be really cheap in SF. I paid $3k for my 1 bedroom there, and even in roommate situations haven't heard of rent less than 1.5k.

This salary conversation is shitty.
EXCUSE ME?! Brad is a very nice man who sleeps in a very nice bed with very nice sheets ok. He also washes those sheets with green biodegradable soap, he literally saves billions of animals all by himself
you should probably delete your account and unsubscribe to giant bomb, you don't deserve their content
SF/LA/SD are all bad but you go just a few miles out (At least for the two former) and you're just dandy.
I pay $1100 for 1 bed a month and it's in a great and highly accessible area.
London prices are no doubt high, but the main difference between it and SF is that there are options. I like to live central but in a quiet area, so that comes at a premium, but if you don't care about being somewhere cool, you can live relatively cheap and commute an hour using the extensive public transport links.
SF is tiny in comparison and public transport is shit, which makes it far worse for the working/middle class.
That rent will get you a sweet windowless basement in some dude's house here on Long Island. You'll have to share it with the crickets, though.
I don't know I just don't see the problem, I think everyone's curious about how much these guys make so I don't see why we can't discuss it... None of us actually know it, but I don't see the problem with speculations. It's not any worst than talking about TV and movie stars and how much they make
