Best part of this PAX panel is the bored band behind them. Or this CAH guy running adblock on the giantbomb site.
where is that at sir?!
One of the things I didn't appreciate about Shenmue until later is the gray and moody feeling of Yokosuka that Suzuki created for the game. Yokosuka sounds like it could be a rough place to grow up in. A lot of friction between local Japanese and Americans stationed there. And a strong organized crime presence, too.
There's a photo book called Yokosuka Story by Ishiuchi Miyako who captured a lot of powerful images of life there in the 70s.

If you were wondering, Greg's "Stephen Hawking" voice was provided by Andy Cortez of Rooster Teeth (Greg retweeted his tweet about it). Some were sure it was Griffin McElroy. It was funny in the chat that people kept telling Greg to shut up, even though he didn't say a word until he stood up at the end.

If we're being technical, the best thing about Shenmue is Space Harrier.
well, that explains why it overstayed its welcome
surprise. lost TNT.

To me it's Halo 3 followed closely by ODST. I did enjoy Reach though, campaign and multiplayer both.

I think Reach was the last Halo game I actually enjoyed
Yup, but Reach was definitely the last one where the whole package worked.

Well, the problems that they were talking about might be partially due to Dreamcast hardware, and partially due to the disc. Shenmue was one of only two games (the other being Shenmue 2) that used up all 1.2GB of the GD-ROM for Game Data. This apparently had the unfortunate side effect of making the discs for Shenmue noticeably more fragile than other DC games. So while other DC discs could generally shrug off minor scratches or dust particles, Shenmue was a bit more sensitive to that kind of stuff, making read errors more likely.

Thanks for uploading this. I liked the show, nice to see one of these without technical/production issues getting in the way (they had some issues at the start I guess?).

I can only speak to how it is living there now as an Englishman... There isn't really too much friction between the Americans and Japanese as far as I can tell, every so often there will be anti nuclear protestors who give me dirty looks... Americans have nuclear weapons on Japanese soil which is technically illegal so they're not happy.
There are some rougher parts of Yokosuka but it's Japan so it's perfectly safe.
As for the organised crime, in my experience the yakuza won't fuck with you if you don't fuck with them - the ones I've met were super nice.
Will have a look at those pics though!

I recently replayed Shenmue 2 and when it reached Kowloon I decided to Google it to see how accurate that place is.
I was amazed by the pictures.

Man I almost want to make a thread about this because Ark has looked questionable for a while now. I can't believe they released an expansion you have to pay for while the game is still in Early Access. Of course players are not happy: http://www.mcvuk.com/news/read/ark-survival-evolved-paid-dlc-rustles-feathers/0171975
What's this? Jeff hasn't been streaming for weeks, I'm desperate for any Black Dragon content.
Even if it's wrestling..?
