Jesus Christ, those follow-up pepper spray emails and discussions.

I've done exactly the same mistake with contacts that Drew told a story about. I've lived a pretty sheltered life for sure, but that was by far the most panicked I've ever been as I wildly clawed to get that fucker out of my eye.

I haven't listened to the Bombcast for a couple weeks. Anything that's not a gross email / Dan story that's worth listening to?

 

[FStop7]

Will Smith gave a very honest assessment of the state of VR on this week's Bombcast.

 

[EdReedFan20]

The PSVR stream is on the schedule! This time it's 10:00 AM their time instead of the crazy 5:00 AM for them last week.

Is his VR podcast thing still a thing? Haven't heard or seen anything about it since they showed it during the Vive stream.

That's 07:00 PM over here. Perfect time!

The FOO Show? It's not really a podcast thing, and no they haven't put out a piece of content since its launch. Worth noting that what they looked at during the Vive stream was not the actual show, it was the company's internal "recording" framework. The actual FOO Show is an interview show that takes place in those VR environments.

 

[Kenzodielocke]

I wonder if they stream on this new platform again. That shit was dope and had minimal delay. Forgot the name though.

We'll see how that goes.

Beam. It's amazing.

Beam. It's amazing.

Crazy that it was created by an 18 year old and was then quickly acquired by Microsoft (Beam only launched back in January and was acquired in August).

That is indeed crazy and a crazy good get for MS. The quality was stellar.

Microsoft bought Beam? Then they should probably try and integrate it on the Xbox.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Not sure. I'm guessing a lot. The terms, as far as I know, are still undisclosed.

Going by Jeff's stream a few weeks ago, it seemed to be better than Twitch (in my opinion).

They defintely should. But I hope they take things slow for now. Still a young team, small platform, it needs to grow naturally. And GB should stream everything on Beam, I will never use YouTube again if that first PSVR stream was indicative for the general quality. Night and day.

 

[jambo]

4am for me =/

Beam is so good. If they increase the stream delay, however, it becomes useless to me. I'm afraid they'll end up doing that for the same reasons YouTube and Twitch do.

That's understandable from a technical and financial point of view but immediate streamer-viewer interaction is Beam's USP. If that's gone I don't know why they'd exist. They don't have the community to be "just another" streaming service.

It seems like Jeff likes it as well and I guess streams will continue there. I like it as well and would probably watch there over YouTube or even Twitch.

Just thought that integrating it into Xbox would be cool especially considering the participation possibilities. MS could potentially even build modes or games around that. Seems exciting to me.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

This DQB quick look makes me really wish they'd release DQ8 as a PS2 Classic on PS4 already.

Sure, but if they keep getting complaints (or worse) from rights holders because they aren't scanning for and muting copyrighted content it could be an issue.

It would be super cool. They could also release that F2P Viva Piñata and integrate Beam. Could be quite neat.

For me, I'd want to do GameDevTycoon and have the audience (or just the the guys) vote for the genre and platform to develop for.

Extra Life Question: Will Brad finally re-play Tie Fighter?

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

If you were a guest on UPF, which game would you play?

Hate to go with the obvious answer, but Star Wars: Droidworks

 

[Meguro]

If you were a guest on UPF, which game would you play?

Me: Top Spin 4

Ys Origin to hopefully convince Jason to play one of those games.

 

[ArjanN]

If you were a guest on UPF, which game would you play

Street Fighter V or Hitman would be fun just to show them up. .

But otherwise some random smaller but good game they overlooked, like say, Savant Ascent.

 

[pizzacat]

Know what, Jeff probably owns a copy of cvs2 so I'll play cvs 2


Because I never have ;_;

Damn, that's a good pick.

If it were still possible, I would make everyone play Pandora Tomorrow.

Prediction: By the end of the year PSVR will be considered a bigger disaster than No Man's Sky.

Anybody know the name of the Forza club Jeffery made for GB?

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Wow, Beast did a 2-hour stream of Mafia III and then an hour+ long QL. Lot of content for what seems to be a very unremarkable game.

Anybody know the name of the Forza club Jeffery made for GB?

it is called giant bomb but it is full

 

[Tunesmith]

WAIT!!! The term Unprofessional Friday has been around since before the show!?! I was watching an old "How to build a bomb" video and Ryan uses that phrase.

https://youtu.be/6hnvhMl_P-4?t=104

Is this a term other people have heard before outside the context of GB?

I always figured it was their take on the corporate office "casual Friday" which later got used as the name for the Friday live show.

 

[TheMadMan007]

Anybody know the name of the Forza club Jeffery made for GB?

Yeah, it's been full since launch day though... I hate that there is a cap, that club will never be not full.

 

[kiguel182]

I'm not sure as I feel the series may be diving way deeper into the world and offer alot more depth since it's a TV show, it could spoil a specific part of it? I don't know as I'm not intending to watch it until it finishes entirely(I'm hoping they don't make more seasons but they could easily do that)

They have 5 seasons of Westworld planned.
