Mafia 3's visuals are all over the place; the game looks gorgeous at times and like broken, janky mess at others. It's got some really weird pop in and effects issues. I hope Digital Foundry or NX Gamer does a video on it.
Gameplay wise, it's reminding me of AssCreed 1; having to do boring, repetitive missions so you can push the story forward. Kind of wish it got the Alan Wake treatment and became a linear game instead. If I wasn't enjoying the story, I would have brought it back to Red Box by now.

Haven't heard him but I did hear Garrus saying some racial slurs. So there's that.
It went a lot better than I would have thought. I think they're smart to disconnect the call after the initial question so there's no awkward and laggy back and forth as they try to talk amongst themselves.
Also, it was pretty awesome hearing so many callers from Europe, here in Canada (

Cuphead is coming out this year. I think. Maybe.
Why did he say you cheated?

GS Youtube numbers destroy GB. Maybe he was referring to live streams?
Not really, though.

2.5 million subs and most videos have views in the low 5 digit range. It's kind of bad. Things like The Lobby segments often hover around 10k views.

Perhaps he meant views on the actual sites themselves and not on YouTube? I don't know. All I know is he said Giant Bomb does better traffic on videos.

I am going through older QL. Any exciting ones that you guys can recommend?
Motorbike.
Ravaged has one of the best GB moments ever but the entire QL is nothing special.

From what Danny's said, it seems to be that there was pressure to increase user interaction with the site. That is, people watching GS material through different avenues. I can imagine that's stressful for people who signed up to Gamespot without knowing it would try to become personality focused. And since GS kinda has failed to push that lead, something must have internally happened that had GS people going 'Ok I need to find something else.'
Like I wonder if Mary is looking for something else. She's been doing some indie stuff on the side, but I imagine now that most of her crew has left, GS probably doesn't seem like a great place to work at, anymore.

That's cool, but I really hope the film doesn't end up too self-aware and memey
Maybe this wasn't relevant to Danny's case because his patreon move was a gamble and could have gone far worse, but according to CBSi's glassdoor reviews a lot of current/former bay-area employees reference low or below-market pay compared to the cost of living there.
Also- I've never followed GS but are the international offices facing the same talent exodus issues or is that localized to SF? I assume they're somewhat personality driven the way Danny referenced people at GS UK sometimes

I can only really speak to Sydney a bit. Previous editor Dan Hindes left because GS weren't hot on him making a game at the same time as covering games and asked him to choose, and he chose the game. Zorine is leaving because she got a job opportunity in SF and presumably it's not with CBSi (maybe Riot?)

They are roughly proportional. GB has about 10% of GS YT subscriber base and 10% the number of total views. It just means that if they were to merge, GS would be the brand.
CBSi is in an interesting place. They have the audience at GS, but no enthusiasm or direction. They also have the enthusiasm at GB, but a limited audience and growth potential. With the talent exodus at GS, I only see two paths for them:
1. Have the GB guys take over GS and bring the enthusiastic audience and a sense of direction with them.
2. Divest of all of the gaming assets while they still have value. Without talent at GS, it will depreciate quickly.
5. Beetlejuice Goes Hawaiian wouldve been totally bae

What would your list be? I'd guess any GB'ers would not be counted.

He seems to have updated his twitter profile since the last time I checked. So he is alive I guess.
I assume he is out of drone jail. Or never actually went to drone jail.
I think someone said at one point he has a small production company now?
Which is PRECISELY Jeff's legacy.

Wow. I like Fobwashed's idea. It looks cool. I hope they do something similar.

So basically it's not going to happen?
Like it's great they want to do all these things with the site UI but I feel like Jeff has been talking about stuff he wants to do/is in the works for... Since I've been subscribed to the site, and nothing has ever changed.

Piston Hyundai works in mysterious ways.
It's been forever since Ryan Mac Donald tweeted(I assume he's not into that shit which is very understandable). The last thing I heard about him was through Danny's "where are they now?" feature on gamespot.

I'm assuming you haven't watched it before? I personally loved watching them play through it. LiS is a really cool game
