Jeff stays winning.
Though I don't actually think they'll mention this Smeagol-to-Gollum situation at all on the site, or if they do it will be a brief thing. Like, there isn't much to gain by actually having Palmer on GB again--he was there for the big Oculus stream which is the only time you'd really expect his presence. If he does show up again, I'd expect a very QLEX-like environment rather than friend-of-the-site/special stream kind of deal.
That said, Palmer's presence as anything more than a professional obligation would be massively disappointing as a GB subscriber.

Good on Jeff, just because Palmer is part of one of the big three high-end VR headsets, doesn't mean that they have to give him the time of day.
I wasn't getting an Oculus before due to Facebook and its anti-consumer practices, but it's nice having my decision justified.

I mean just on the VRodeo the Vive always looked like a better product all the way.
Can't believe how occulus botched VR's launch compared to the vive.

Well, Pachter was right about one PC gamer.
Glad Jeff is still providing the raw, uncut. Some things you shouldn't be silent on and this particular bridge isn't worth keeping.
I do wonder if this will have any effect on the headset itself (Doubt it but it would be interesting).

What if in the future you could get sentenced to life in VR and it was just you in a virtual room with handibot for the rest of your life

On the bright side, this week Joss Whedon & co. graced us with this.
VR is just a stepping stone to the Trance. That'll be the real deal.

So he's definitely going to be on the next E3 livestream, then?
I think it will. Either way, the Rift doesn't have a viable long-term future anyway.

Pachter comparing PC gamers to racists.

The most recent E3 he came off as very defensive and immature with a chip on his shoulder. I guess I wrote that off as him not dealing with coming off of a terrible launch of the project he was working on so long. His previous interview, he came off as awkward and immature but at least enthusiastic.
It wasn't until someone in OT pointed out some GG connections in his social media a couple months ago did I realize the guy was actually a real piece of shit. I'm not surprised that he's a full on alt right Trump supporter but I am surprised that he'd go as far as this fucked up scheme. It'd be nice if Facebook forces him out at Oculus but I'm sure he doesn't give a shit at this point. He has more money than he could ever hope to spend. At least he'd be out of the industry.

Yup. Touch controllers always seemed way cooler than the Vive Wands to me, and the headset itself seems more comfortable, as well as clearer for things like text in Elite Dangerous... but this.. if this is really true.. well fuck.
Ugh.
That's a Black Mirror episode like this. It's pretty fucked.

Probably
He fits the criteria. Able to tinker in his parents garage with pricey hardware, once he finished the prototype he made the kickstarter for it.
Jeff has & always continues to be the best. ^_^

Good to know that Palmer probably won't be on any GB content ever again.

I never had the dislike for Palmer that a lot of you seem to have, he always seemed like a kinda geeky but okay guy, but that's an unfortunate thing to learn.
My desire to not support Palmer is going to conflict with my love for Carmack.

I hope it's a trainwreck of an Unfinished like the Sleeping Dogs one.
Though they need Vinny for that. He is the master of open worlds.

The unfinished for sleeping dogs was jeff and ryan wasn't it?

uh
..uh
Yes.
Vinny was in the actual Quick Look though. And the DLC stuff, where he managed to find alllll the glitches. He is the master of open worlds!
Probably went to a press event, took some footage, and are going to talk over it.
Don't those usually have different names than unfinished?
Who watches the Watch_Dogs 2?
