I bet that guy is fun to hang around with.
I bet he also things no game should ever get a perfect score. Video game podcasts should only ever talk about video games and wonders why anyone would watch pro wrestling since its fake.

The idea that you should treat every announced open world game equal is kind of funny, to be honest.
Like if Rockstar and the The War Z devs announce a new game, you should treat them exactly the same and if your response differs from "this is a game that might exist in the future and I have no feelings towards both of them", you're not fit to write reviews.

Dude's game doesn't have PSTV support, not because of lack of functionality between platforms, but because "I really dislike the game as a TV experience, don't think it's anywhere near as impactful" despite there being many people like me who game on a monitor 2-3 feet away with headphones sitting in a computer chair.

I'm so confused here. So a person is mad that another person is excited for a sequel to a game they loved? Man he better get on me as well, I loved nier and I'm excited for the sequel next year.
Go on, attack me I deserve it.

Holy shit. I love this site. I may need to through every Beastcast episode.

The Beastcast is great. The Beastcast + Austin is exceptional. I'd suggest you at least listen from when he joined, if not from the start.
Yeah, we all know it's ME2

It's not ridiculous at all. It's not the game I would pick, but it should absolutely be in the running.

Nier's great despite what some other extremely excitable, Skyrim-dancin' game writer would tell you.

Yeah. For me, the top 10 of last gen (that I played) would have to be (in no order): The Last of Us, Uncharted 2, Mass Effect 2, Call of Duty 4, Bioshock, Portal 2, Elder Scrolls V, GTA IV (I waited for V to be on PS4, otherwise, V would've made this list), Red Dead Redemption, and Metal Gear Solid IV. RDR was (and still is) such a beautiful game (visually and technically). I can't tell you how many times I was in awe of the sunrises/sunsets and also how many times I just sat on the train and went for a ride.

I don't like to speculate, but I wonder if the guy suffers from deep depression. On his Twitter bio it says he made Actual Sunlight, which is one the PS+ games this month. I haven't played it yet, but people who have say it is too real for them and it is a difficult (emotionally) game to play due to its handling of depression. So, perhaps he is in a bad place (mentally) right now and Dan was an unfortunate unintentional target for him to vent at. Again, as someone who does not suffer from depression, I can only speculate (which I probably shouldn't) as to why someone's enjoyment would create such a fuss over an innocuous tweet.

That's an extremely mainstream list. Sounds like something IGN would come up with.
His attitude makes a ton of sense if you've played Actual Sunlight (free on PS+, it's garbage so don't pay for it), which is clearly semi-autobiographical.
Xbox One Launch Spectacular (November 2013) - I think there are 5-6 parts.

Does anybody remember the part in the Xbox One launch stream where Vinny seemed genuinely creeped out by Patrick's Charles Manson googling?

I played it when it launched on Steam a few years back and... yeah. It was difficult to keep following him.

Not to pile on this dude, but the titles of those writing credits on his bio tell me him and Dan wouldn't really get along.

as someone who does suffer from severe depression, I don't truly wish unhappiness on anybody, even this misguided goofball
even still, lashing out is a bad look

Had to listen to this again since you posted. So good, definitely miss Austin being around. Beastcast is still my favorite, highly recommend listening to the rest!

He's probably salty about Dan's 'Anxiety as an Ally' book being 100x more successful than his little 'game'
This.
That's pretty much only single player console AAA gaming...

man I'm sorry but I can't take the RDR = GOTG stuff seriously
Mario Galaxy 2 came out! It happened! You can't ignore it sheesh
You can make them into Kingdom Hearts-character form, for what it's worth. At least the protags.

I did that as soon as I saw that. Way better but the rest of the cast is still deformed. I bet the devil looks like this.
Anyway, you are right about SMG2.

Mario Galaxy 2 is the worst 3D Mario, though.
That's a cool list of games.

man you don't even believe that
I refuse to accept that
we live in a universe where Sunshine exists so sorry but this isn't something I gotta put up with. man
edit: eh it doesn't even matter, it's still at least the second best game of last gen in that case
You're worse than Dan and Brad combined. You're Drad. Or Bran.
