Waiting for the Kickstarter link.

After paying child support for 28 years, I just mailed my final check. Kegger at my place.

haha

Beyond Good and Evil is the most mediocre overhyped game since Shenmue. Now that's a hot take!

why i oughta

 

[Zaph]

haha

Looks like Dan is going to have to start funding his own amiibos

Don't DARE to put the masterpiece BG&E in the same sentence with SHEMTRASHNUE.

 

[Ashby]

haha

Is this a reference to something or can a person actually pay child support for ten years after their kid is a legal adult?

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

BG&E at least had charming, well-written characters and humor. But ya as a game I think it was nothing special and pretty bare-bones.

He has multiple children.

 

[oti]

BG&E > DOOM 2016

 

[Ashby]

He has multiple children.

Ah. Well good for him.

 

[Archaix]

Shenmue's stealth sequence is better than BG&E's

 

[KingKong]

the new Hitman level is awesome. It feels different, more like a stealth mission but it really puts your skills to use

 

[bjork]

is Brad out for 2 weeks?

if he is an Jeff's reading this forum:

read my Cobra Commander email this week, please and thank you

 

[SomberOwl]

There's going to be lots of politics on the Bombcast this week ins't there?

 

[Zaph]

There's going to be lots of politics on the Bombcast this week ins't there?

Hopefully it's explained in the only way I can understand - through racing game metaphors.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

yeah, not a good look for AustinsSite.com

 

[FStop7]

I enjoyed the Vice Gaming podcast.

That "Forza Horizon 3" article, not so much.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Feels like Brad has been on vacation all year :^)

 

[Maiorum]

Oh right, bombcast in a couple of hours. Interested to hear what they'll say about Luckey, if anything.

 

[Joeku]

There's going to be lots of politics on the Bombcast this week ins't there?

If there was ever a time for it, it is now.

 

[mnz]

Nah, they never really talk politics on the Bombcast, but they kind of have to address Palmer Luckey right?

yeah, not a good look for AustinsSite.com

What happened?

 

[Piston Hyundai]

What happened?

A Vice Gaming article went up that used Forza Horizon 3 as a shallow platform to talk about the political situation in Australia.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

What happened?

Piston Hyundai is trying to bizarrely subtweet (subpost?) about ex-Giant Bomb members again

Zaph brought it up, buddy

 

[Twin Tails]

With lots of devs pulling support they prob will.

 

[FStop7]

It was a bait and switch headline and the article itself was reductionist. The premise could be applied to a dozen other things. "Playing [game] makes me feel uncomfortable because of [current event]."

 

[stump sock]

I'm standing by my opinion that they probably won't. not that they don't have opinions, but they almost never mix politics and work. and frankly Palmer's dumb shit hobbies/views have been shrugged off by Oculus so it's non-news from a gaming front.

e:

scratch that then, I wasn't aware of that.

 

[daydream]

today's bombcast thread will be thread #100 we have made custom graphics for

time sure flies

 

[EmCeeGramr]

It was a bait and switch headline and the article itself was reductionist. The premise could literally be applied to anything. "Playing [game] makes me feel uncomfortable because of [current event]."

It's a goofy article because of how much of it is kinda ranting about bad Aussie stuff, but that's a reductionist take as well. Australian writer says that he likes Forza Horizon because it accurately depicts Australia's landscape and towns in a way that he feels no other game has, then feels dissonance because, wait, he actually kinda hates the way Australia is right now for a lot of reasons, even if he understands that there's no reason for a racing game to actually depict that stuff and going for a feel good depiction is the right approach.

It could have been written better, but "this game represents my home in a way that I both love and hate" is an interesting thing.

Sounds like vice removed the article? I certainly can't find it.

edit: Ok, found it through twitter. Weird.

Can't we talk about how doom depicts a better hell than the demons deserve

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Weird. Initially it wasn't placed under Vice Gaming, but then it was made available there.

VICE UK

I guess my main issue is that it's a non-article that doesn't make any kind of point. It's basically a blog post.

maybe that's my problem and not theirs.

It's a work of art compared to this piece of shit article - http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/more-schoolkid-violence-rocks-the-capital-vgtrn

A 15 year old would be embarrassed to write something that poor.

Average afternoon in Lewisham

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Wasn't digging the podcast so hopefully this is just the growing pains of their new website.

 

[Chance Hale]

Any of the Unprofessional Fridays from the last few months great? Been real busy lately and just watching quick looks and retro(ie, the recent Jeff c64 vid) stuff.

Edit: Or really any of the other features, lol.

I almost wish Vice didn't occasionally do things I'm really interested in so I could just ignore them entirely.

Ooph, are you sitting down?

Spoiler

that new vrodeo was on point, also the Jeff stream was good, just watch old stuff

 

[Maiorum]

The one with Snider, Kessler and Dota was pretty good.

 

[Johndoey]

Hell is super lame. I want a game that actually has hell make logistical sense and opposed to a random assortment of flesh idols, metal memorabilia, and floating platforms.

Demons need places to live and shop breh.

For UPF the last two weeks have been good, as was 9/9 and 8/5.

Demo Derby always delivers. Jar Time recently happened. Hitman continues to be great.

 

[bjork]

When was the UPF with Drake all pissed at Dan for the majority of it? That was a fun one.

 

[OdysseusVA]

The one with Snider, Kessler and Dota was pretty good.

The best in months

 

[SomberOwl]

Is the Vice podcast on Itunes?

Edit: Nevermind its not yet, they will add link.

Since the start of june Drew playing GoldenEye: Source has been the only thing I've enjoyed.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

are you guys trying to prank Chance Hale by saying that Dota UPF wasn't the worst in recent memory

 

[BearPawB]

i loved every second of that UPF.
Kessler is a treasure
