I think it's weird to ding Vinny for always wanting to liven things up during a stream or podcast. Like, yeah, sometimes a bit goes overboard, but I admire his dedication to remaining high-spirited and positive during otherwise mundane streams. And his goofy charm makes me smile way, way more often than it makes me cringe or whatever. Loved tuning into the Beastcast on Friday mornings to have his cheery outlook on everything distract from an otherwise soul-crushing workday.

Nothing gives me more joy than opening a video and seeing he isnt at the table. His pseudo intilectualism and jingoism bothers me to no end. He's like bizarro Dan.

All the more reason to be upset that Dr Tracksuit hasn't come out on stage with a sax.

Who's that Sundowner rip off?
Yep, love the positive vibes
I totally get why people aren't enjoying the Beastcast as much, but that's probably the reason why I enjoy it more, now.
I take the Bombcast as my source of videogame commentary with the occasional rants / Dan-isms / weird emails, and then the Beastcast as more of a relaxed-conversation-type-thing with some videogames mixed in. I love listening to it at the end of the week.
But the undisputed truth is that Vinny doesn't have the same chemistry he had with El Jefe with anyone else, and that's not really a knock on anyone - and I think their dynamic in NY is fine.
In the end, the duders are big boys and they can take valid criticism just fine. I can't speak for them but I imagine they do pay some attention to this kind of stuff - but at the end of the day they're still mostly gonna do whatever they feel like, and that's a big part of why people like them.

I'm also probably just a Vinny stan.

I've fallen into the jaded rabbit hole, but I atleast try to keep it positive since it's still just a hobby. And it's actually not that easy to find gaming outlets that have that vibe but are also seasoned veterans.

I don't like how he always has to play devils avocado. After a point just seems fake to me. Like he is doing it just to do it and not that he believes that opposing view.

You mean he's not really being a devil's advocate by being the dictionary definition of a devil's advocate?
That's the point isn't it?
I personally find it more interesting to throw a few counterpoints in a discussion rather than everyone nodding and it stopping in 2 minutes. YMMV of course.

That song kicking is the highlight of my week.
Oh and the corrections segment is genius and the Bombcast should adopt it. It's not just about correcting some wrong info, but it's also good for coming back to a topic and filling gaps and having another take added to it.
Please, no.
Way better.

I don't have the energy to obsess over scratches on something I use for hours every day for a year or two.
(I usually put mine screen up, though)

I just want to mention that Brad needed the Hitman developers to teach him basic mechanics after 7 months of playing which most people figured out in the tutorial and that's funny.
after 7 months of playing one hour every two weeks or so, having to relearn things every time
Eh, they approached it a different way and mainly only played it during the videos. It's not that they learned him huge things he did not know much about. This game can be played many ways.

Binary Domain is, indeed, quite dope.
