SuperHyperCube seems neat. I am glad Phil Fish believes in the power of videogames again.

 

[broncobuster]

The grid dual shock is really cool. Almost want that as an OS option, just to have on screen for all games.

 

[Indignate]

Vinny has so much fuckin game.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Whoa, a WoW video?? Sweet!

It's that excrutable ToC though, aka "The nastiest hangover after the raddest party".

Stupid job, who needs it

I got fired

Sorry buddy, that's always a crummy situation

It's probably way more frustrating for them than it is for us.

I completely agree...

Vinny looks like Dan. Drew looks like Kirk Douglas at age 70. And Jason looks like Penny Arcade Gabe.

 

[EdReedFan20]

That was a great video. Loved the use of Jeff in it.

Also, the PSVR looks so nice. Can't wait for them to get one for the office and the subsequent stream.

On the Bombcast, Brad once again mentioned buying a bunch of games and never playing them. They clearly need a video series, let's call it Shoemaker's Shrinkwrap, where Brad tries some of those games. And yes, he must rip them open on camera.

That would require Brad to do something

This E3 video is amazing, great job guys!

Can't wait to get home and watch.

sucks Brad is leaving GB

I appreciate you breaking the seal on this meme.

Sorry, Strax. Hope you bounce back quick.

More from Jefflr - he's lamenting the desire to make regular, spontaneous and produced content, but only having a small staff (sounds like he's been reading the last thread). E3 video only live now because Drew has been really busy with a lot of jobs, including setting up the podcast studio.

I can't help but suspect that splitting resources across two studios has slowed them down. I get why they did it, but the whole seem not to be greater than the sum of its parts.

Losing Vinny would have probably been worse for the site, though.

Bring back the shrink shack?!?!

Do it Brad.

 

[killroy87]

That E3 video was great!

"So this is free too? There was something around here they were selling tickets to."

"You're thinking of Kinda Funny Live"

 

[LiK]

I tend to find Dan's particular brand of special a bit grating once he gets outside of his wheelhouse of bad games, wrestling, and dumb action flicks, so it's probably for the best that I haven't been listening.

Vinny knows how to mess with Dan and it makes it pretty great.

Sorry to hear. Same boat earlier this summer.

 

[kiguel182]

Vinny and Dan are so good together.

Also, it sucks that they are having troubles producing as much content as they want. My sub is still totally worth it but obviously I won't say no to more content.

It seems like finding the balance between spontaneous and programmed content is a challenge.

Clearly now it's the time for the return of daily Dota.

 

[LiK]

You mean there needs to be a return of an Endurance Run.

 

[sammyCYBORG]

That E3 video is great.

Makes me sad we didn't get any content like that out of Dan's NYC trip..

 

[HappenstanceUK]

Cross coast Persona 4 Golden with Vinny and Jeff! We should suggest it to them, I hear they are always open to hearing about Persona 4 or Endurance Runs!

 

[PurpleMoustache]

Jeff hiding in the background of the E3 video is so so good.

 

[kiguel182]

You mean there needs to be a return of an Endurance Run.

Should I watch the endurance runs? I suck at going back and watching a series of content.

 

[LiK]

Cross coast Persona 4 Golden with Vinny and Jeff! We should suggest it to them, I hear they are always open to hearing about Persona 4 or Endurance Runs!

Yea, might as well do it as a run up to P5!

Should I watch the endurance runs? I suck at going back and watching a series of content.

They're all good content. I went back to watch P4 ER after I beat Golden. Was shocked at how much content was missing and/or changed from vanilla but it was fun to revisit some of my fave moments with them. Def worth checking out.

 

[HappenstanceUK]

Yea, might as well do it as a run up to P5!

Sounds good to me. The more they play, the less likely they are to get burnt out on the series!

 

[kai3345]

The P4 endurance run is the single best piece of content on giant bomb dot com

 

[HappenstanceUK]

I ended up watching the P4 Endurance Run along with my playthrough. I'd play a couple of hours and then take a break while I watched Jeff and Vinny play the same bit.

It's with equal parts sadness & excitement that I announce that next Friday (Sep 9th) is my last day working at GameSpot. I'll have news on my new adventure soon. But I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for making my lifelong dream come true. Working @GameSpot was a dream I had as a young man in Ireland. To think I've been part of its story for 5 years is still unbelievable to me.

Danny's leaving Gamespot

[Fjordson]

Danny saying on Twittter he's leaving Gamespot September 9th. Damn.

GB West while Dan stays East.

 

[bigwinnerx]

I don't like this development unless it ends in joining Beast.

 

[Maiorum]

I could see him joining Vice.

 

[LiK]

Danny joining GB hopefully.

 

[mnz]

Danny's The Point kind of fits with what Vice has been doing? Weird, though.

 

[TharpDaddy]

I could see him joining Vice.

Maybe? I don't feel like Vice is video-focused enough to take advantage of Danny's talents.

 

[Lunaniem]

I could see him joining Vice.

Based off Austin's tweet, I don't think so.

didn't Danny visit NYC recently

[bigwinnerx]

Yeah Austin was almost too quick to wish him well. God bless Tweetdeck doing this in real time.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Wow, I didn't think it would be this soon! Gamespot continues its search for an identity.

 

[Mike.83]

Hope Danny joins the Beast boys.

 

[mnz]

Yeah Austin was almost too quick to wish him well. God bless Tweetdeck doing this in real time.

Have you seen his feed? He's never not on Twitter.

 

[TharpDaddy]

Danny needs to remain in a position where he can be part of euro-sport QLs.

 

[funkystudent]

I am not surprised at that news at all.


GameSpot is a ghost town now.

 

[Teddified]

Wow, I personally didn't expect him to leave anytime soon.

Good luck at your next thing Danny!

 

[Maiorum]

Maybe? I don't feel like Vice is video-focused enough to take advantage of Danny's talents.

I don't know, he seems to be interested in in-depth video coverage, mini-documentaries almost, and they might like to have him there to augment their already existing gaming documentary department. But...

Based off Austin's tweet, I don't think so.

https://twitter.com/austin_walker/status/771433994235867136

Yeah, that's ruled out then.

 

[LiK]

No one from GB wished him luck. Guess we know where he's going.

 

[Zaph]

Maybe? I don't feel like Vice is video-focused enough to take advantage of Danny's talents.

Vice is very, very video focused, they even launched their own network (Viceland), but not so much on their gaming section. Can imagine them wanting to change that if they're rebooting the publication.
