Wait, where are you jintor where 100kbs is considered good? I'm not in NBN but on my plan I still regularly get 2MBs/S.
Steam caps at 8mb for me, which is not bad if I'm on Wifi since Wifi speeds aren't great in my house.
PSN sometimes is just crazy slow. Altought I found having stuff downloading in rest mode is much better.
EDIT: In here you can have 100 up/100 down with TV + phone for 45 euros. That's pretty great. If you don't want TV is 35 per month so not worth to not have it I guess. I don't know if this is the best plan, it isn't mine it's just one I've found in a quick google search.

I still want Austin to be there every week.
Same. He was great with the guys. I still enjoy Waypoint Radio but it's not quite the same.

I like all three people on Waypoint Radio but I feel like they need one more person to really make it great

Ridiculous deal, Americans. And for you non-Americans, find a friend on here to help you get in on this and play this shit.

100kbs is considered good? Like, in Sidney or rural areas?
EDIT: I could download games super fast IF PSN ALLOWED IT. Sony needs to step their game up.
Is the WiFi reciever on the PS4 a giant piece of shit? I had to take mine off ethernet for a while, and the thing won't even load the store. It went from like 25 MB/s on ethernet to less than 1 on wireless. And yeah, unlike Steam it never comes close to taking advantage of my bandwidth.

Anyone know if the key can only be activated in US?

WTF with the Austin hate.

They need one person who doesn't have an opinion on anything imo and then it'll be a perfect podcast
I can't figure out who you're throwing shade at. Is it Drew?They need one person who doesn't have an opinion on anything imo and then it'll be a perfect podcast

They really need someone who represents #usgamers and only plays the games that marketing says he should play.

Well I bought Hitman. I am terrible at stealth. This should go well.

Hitman is more like a game of dominoes really.
Still loving Austin in all of his various forms. Not sure why people are falling off with him. He's a joy on both Waypoint and the Beastcast.
Speaking of, I totally hope we get another RP game for Christmas.
I would love if they did that. That game of Fiasco was so much fun.

While I though Austin was fine at GB, I wasn't as big of a fan as most people here, so i'm not really falling off, I just don't miss him now that he's not on Giant Bomb and don't feel any desire to follow him.
WTF with the Austin hate.

Austin was too perfect a fit in GBEAST so now I can't enjoy him in his other works. Vin/Dan/Austin is godlike.

Someone else in this thread pointed it out, but Waypoint Radio probably due to the long distance format feels like each person takes a turn to get up on a soap box and do a spiel on the same topic, usually with Austin dominating the conversation and taking the lead and having a long winded albeit well argued monologue and then Patrick and Danielle stepping up to the box and having a shorter, "yeah you're totally right Austin, what you said," before they move onto the next topic.
It's not the political nature of Waypoint or trying to apply critical theory to games that I find to be a problem, it's just that it doesn't feel like a conversation, mostly repetition of the same idea the first person says 2 more times before moving onto the next topic.

Conflict is entertainment. Entertainment is conflict.
Conflict is entertainment. Entertainment is conflict.
It's not even necessarily about entertainment. Offering a different opinion or a new perspective on the issue allows for discussion, evolution of ideas, and insight on the topic. If everyone says the same thing you don't really learn anything.

Very well put! I still like it enough to listen to pretty much all of them, though lolSomeone else in this thread pointed it out, but Waypoint Radio probably due to the long distance format feels like each person takes a turn to get up on a soap box and do a spiel on the same topic, usually with Austin dominating the conversation and taking the lead and having a long winded albeit well argued monologue and then Patrick and Danielle stepping up to the box and having a shorter, "yeah you're totally right Austin, what you said," before they move onto the next topic.

I enjoy the show well enough but yeah, I can't argue with this. I'm hoping they'll work some of the kinks out and it'll get a bit better since it sounds like they're aware of how stilted the conversation can be, but as it stands it's more of an occasional/if I have the time podcast rather than a must listen.

I get that in terms of the format, which could be adjusted to give a larger variety of opinions and viewpoints as opposed to covering the same topic. Something similar to what Patrick did on Match 3 would be a nice middle ground if they needed to keep it to an hour or less. Each person bringing something different to the table over the course of an hour instead of a common topic or set of games.
