They're under selling the battery life way too much. It's 2.5-6 hours, which is almost on par with 3DS.

When they looked at it last time, Dan was the one playing it, iirc. I'm surprised Dan only played it once. He forgot how many Metal Gear moments exist. It's like he didn't care cuz Kojima wasn't directly involved.
"Bumped into him" ha! You took a selfie with him!

I also like that they're seeing how this is connected to MGS4.

stream it, nerd
Dan dismissed it originally because it wasn't a "real" Metal Gear game.

Why isn't Rorie on? Do they hate him?

Brad hates Rorie.
It's pretty amazing someone can find so much success by jacking other peoples clips and splicing them together.

I should go to Galway and walk around a bit. Really want to meet Romero somehow while he is in the country.
Always thought it was kinda weird Ireland never a indie dev make something that broke through back when everyone and their college roomate was trying to make the next big Xbox Live Arcade game.
We had a PopCap satalite studio for a hot minute and we do have some middleware companies and thats been it.
I might believe this one.
Incidentally I've met Iain Glen in town too, eating a Christmas market hot dog.I just know Galway from Jack Taylor.
It's a compact little town.

Now, that's arousing.
Well, Havok came from Trinity so that counts for something.
Edit: Ah, didn't see the middleware comment
Doesn't Blizzard have an office in Cork or somewhere?
Heh, Jeff and Dan walk right through Tim Gettys shot in his Let's Play of Zelda from the Nintendo event.

Out of the few places in Ireland I've been it's my favourite city so far. The west coast of Ireland is fantastic.
A few Popcap people got absorbed into the local EA studio site here I believe some years back when the Dublin site shut.
Cork yeah, support, web dev and back office I believe. Much like EAs presence.

Vinny would have sold that joke a lot better.
Auxiliary development and QA if I recall correctly. Can't really speak recent about the place though. Blizzard used to split a bunch of dev stuff between Ireland and France within the same locales that house the European support centres.

Just listening to todays bombcast, Jeff mentions Dan not understanding some aspect of the Switch which garners a knowing collective chuckle and Danny says something about Dan not utilising some aspect of The Witness - does anyone have any idea what he was talking about? Think i missed this.
Dont know why I care but just be interesting to hear what part he didn't understand, was it the environmental puzzles?

Dan finished the witness without finding or knowing about the environmental puzzles.

The potential impact of the Witness' environmental puzzles was lost on me because I noticed it so early. It just felt like part of the moment-to-moment gameplay.
I like Dan but his opinions on games are like the least interesting thing about him.
Same.
Yeah I have no idea how you can make it through even part of The Witness and not realize the environmental puzzle stuff. There are giant circles with lines in the environment in areas you look at often that make it pretty apparent. The giveaway at the mountain top isn't even the most obvious example imo.

Good on The Witness for even making that a possibility I guess, the environmental puzzles are such a big part of that game, and what elevates it above most puzzle games, that it's crazy that he completely missed all of them.

For me it was the little village area where part of it you're literally walking through a puzzle. It's not even one of those "Oh wow I couldn't tell until I saw it from above!" things either, it was just so obviously a line puzzle.
Same here sadly, saw the first one in the water as you exit the first area almost immediately. It was only in hind-sight as I started reading posts on GAF that it really dawned on me that this was the "oh shit" twist to the game (similar to Braid's ending in a way). Love the game for doing what it did though.
