Okidoki then.
Jeff's Destiny GOTY rant was a pretty damn good one that I think went unmentioned above.
Retweet Alex --> You get the good ending.
Retweet Dan --> You get the bad ending.
Oh but it does.

I thought Alex was pretty on-point but it was clear that Jeff was pretty uncomfortable with talking about it.
No one cared about dishonored until Reddit started posted montages of a dude beating dumb AI
Would laugh at this if it wasn't so true 🌹

Jeff talking about his old party house is also always a good time.
I still laugh at thinking about him saying "hand full of change".
Also I have a urge to replay Dark Souls 2 on PS4. My backlog is already huge. PLEASE STOP ME!

I like Jeff B but the fact that he is uncomfortable delving into these issues sometimes makes me uncomfortable.
Do you think the full retail version will include a platinum trophy when it comes out?

He kind of downplayed the issue on 404ing It as well. So I wasn't really all that surprised to hear him do the same thing today.

Maybe the Beastcast are all Republicans and quietly agree with Luckeys support of Trump
Thats why they couldnt throw one of their own under the bus

Retweet Vinny --> You get the real ending.
cross-posted from the beastcast thread but yeah, the way they handled that stuff was pretty poor. I'm disappointed with the discussion around the Palmer situation, especially having an extra lead-in of a few days to really observe and report the aftermath and consequences around the non-apology apology.
I understand none of them are in the news role as much as Austin was, but for a lot of the stuff they glossed over or didn't dig into with much conviction they didn't have to look any further than their own site with Jeff's breakdown earlier this week on the Bombcast. Austin's absence is glaring in this one, there are even moments where Bakalar sounds two steps away from trying to give Palmer the benefit of the doubt.

Less than a week to our avatar bet expiring!
I'm in complete agreement with you, that whole Palmer segment was just so soft. They may as well not have even bothered mentioning it. I love the beastcast but that was supremely disappointing.
Yeah I don't need to see that game to know I'll play it eventually. If they just give me literally the exact same thing again, I would be totally into it.
Happy birthday!
Save regularly in TMS, the savage enemies are SAVAGE.

Ugh the Dishonored 2 Unfinished made me a little apprehensive. The art style and mood are stronger than ever, but Jason's struggles with the combat and blinking abilities are exactly the same issues that the first one had. The mechanics just always felt a little janky.
I really hope the combat is better than the first game, the ranged combat was fine but again the swordplay was just messy. Serkonos looks pretty visually interesting at least, probably more than Dunwall.

On a semi-related note the Daud DLC was damn good.

The PC building e-mail is fantastic.

I'm deciding between picking up SMT IV Apocalypse or X-COM 2. Need to see how well X-com performs on PS4 though.

Jeff B was giving Luckey an out by chalking it up to his youth, that's fine if you piss on the sidewalk or knock down a mailbox. Luckey has money and because of that power and influence, he as to be held accountable for his actions. Also the whole movement has some pro-white supremacist leanings.
that bummed me out. 24 is old enough to know what he's doing. I dunno why Bakalar was so forgiving about it. Luckey is an asshole and should be called out for it.
Austin spoke eloquently on the Rapp situation, which is the most telling thing about how they handled Luckey in his absence.
It was really jarring, there's enough cards on the table that it's ok to take a firm stance and yet Jeff B kept hiding behind the excuse of wanting to be 'editorially fair' or whatever. It felt kind of spineless given the views being espoused.
