Gamespot isn't going anywhere, they are constantly hiring new people. It's just that the ones we know are always leaving...
Super weird how Mary says she will keep doing the Resident Evil series, though. That's a Gamespot series, not sure how that's possible unless she's a freelancer or something like that.

Oh and what's up with Jeff's tumblr attitude? I don't see what's so offensive about that question.

Looking at Nick Robinson's feed and replies, dude's on a Shkreli-level of defending himself whenever anyone disagrees with him. This twenty hour anime rant deserves some kind of 'passive aggressive rhetoric of the year' award. Like, even though he has a point about wanting to pay someone and them rejecting the money, or the baffling lack of simulcasting, I'm drowning in smug defensiveness reading the way it's framed.

CoolGames Inc. is solid usually, though.
The usage of "normies" just makes my skin crawl. But this, uhm, rant was funny to see.

There is absolutely zero point zero percent chance that Mary will end up at GB. Nada. Njet. Nein.

I'm just getting into the GOTY podcasts. Alex is insufferable, he's ruining all the podcasts for me.

He sacrificed his orb-son for us, and this is how you thank him?

If Mary doesn't bounce over to GB, hopefully she goes to Kinda Funny.

I don't think that's happening. KF is pretty tight and Kevin literally does everything. I think the closest they did to hiring anyone was an internship which I don't believe Mary would go for. Correct me if I'm wrong.
 
I know this isn't a Waypoint thread, but, I was initially excited about it.

Watched the 72 hour stream (or a lot of it). Since then, unsub'd from the podcast, unfollowed the Twitter because it's ridiculous, still follow Patrick and Austin just to keep an eye on things, but, the site may as well not exist and they may as well just be Twitter bots.

I think I decided I don't really like Danielle and their official social media.

Danielle was a lot better on Idle Thumbs. Now that Patrick and Austin seem to want to talk politics every 5 mins she's not nearly as entertaining.

I'm close to un-subbing to the podcast too, and I'm a huge Patrick/Danielle fan...

I like their direct approach to politics, but yeah, while Waypoint is still very young and will take time to grow, I can't help but be disappointed. It feels like the website we saw during the 72hr stream isn't the one we got.

Funnily enough, the other gaming website that quietly launched, Glixel, has been more interesting.

The 'Game of the year' fan fiction school thing was a real low for them. Austin unleashed is too much!

I really like Greg Miller so I wish I had interest in Kinda Funny but Colin puts me off massively and I have pretty much no idea about the other dudes involved.

I like Colin's opinions for games but when he talks about anything else, it can be quite unbearable at times. His politcal rants lately put me off cuz he's just riling up people. I unsubbed from Patreon because of that. Greg is still great.

Why? That would be a big step backwards for her surely.

Plus she's not the type to play up to her looks, which I feel is what you need to do to be a successful female on Twitch.

She already streams on the side. Plus if you play it right you can make a shitload of money doing Twitch on your own.

Also Twitch isn't some porn site cam service lol. There's plenty of women who make it without appealing to horny teenagers.

They did say they had hired another video person recently, but haven't revealed who it is yet.

FYI, Mary moving to GB isn't that likely unless CBSi's HR department works real fucking fast in transitions between departments/internal companies. My bet is that they, like pretty much every HR department on the planet, moves at same speed as molasses.

My exact feelings on Kinda Funny. Glad Greg is doing great, but I just can't follow their content.
 
So Nintendo's my favorite game company, though I can think about them objectively. And listening to Jeff today made me appreciate him more as a journalist because he finally formed all of the scattered thoughts in my head about the Switch into a coherent thought. I'm really excited about all of the Nintendo games, but his analysis was spot on. This thing is directionless, and the 1, 2 Switch stuff and Joycon stuff says they're still chasing the Wii crowd. Danny brought up the point about how at E3 they need to bring game after game, and Jeff said that they were wasting valuable time now. And it got me thinking, what if at E3 they come out with more games like 1, 2 Switch? I really hope that thing is just a bunch of demos they wanted to throw out and not a direction a portion of their development teams would be focused on, because this is a big E3 for Nintendo.

And then I got thinking about the Pokemon selling Switches. But part of the appeal of Pokemon as a consumer is that if my kid wants it, I can get a 2DS with the new Pokemon for around $140. That's cheap enough where I can get multiple if I have multiple children. But what about the Switch? Assuming no pack-in, a new Pokemon on Switch would be an entry point of $360 at least. And I don't think parents will be buying their children multiple Switches. They really need to make better arguments in the coming months for why people should get this thing

Does she? I need to hunt them out. I have been meaning to watch her RE series on Gamespot but haven't got around to it.

Most female Twitch streamers I've seen are similar to escorts. Low cut tops, push up bras, flirting with the viewers etc. I'm sure not all of them are like that, that's just the side I've seen when I've been on Twitch. Pretty much the polar opposite of Mary (other than the fact she's attractive obviously).

She usually announces her Twitch streams on Twitter. I only watched a lil bit before.

Colin also thinks reading PSN store game descriptions word for word for 15 straight minutes every week is a good idea on a podcast. He's the fucking dirt worst.

It drives me crazy how Drew always completely stops moving before pausing the game. That's the weirdest thing to get upset about but I can't handle it.

Watching Mary play Yakuza on UPF, I'm super excited to see Dan/Alex play it. I hope Vinny is there for some stuff too, I think he would freaking love it.

I think she sold me on the game. I've been meaning to get into the series for a while but I didn't feel that burning need for it.

I will never get that stupid achievment

I would have gotten it near launch if the requirements now were the same as now. Nowadays I mostly play competitive and it's rare that I end up in situations where it's possible.

My favorite duder doesn't think people marking up the price on medicine is a good thing so he's better than Colin.
Sorry

Gravity rush 2 is a super green game.

Like, I don't know why there's a perma green filter on all the time.

Enjoying the game quite a bit though so far. Feels like more gravity rush.

That's disappointing to hear unless all you've seen is the main area of Heksville. I would be playing it except Walmart has started date restricting sales at the register. They had the game out on shelves but the register refused to ring it up.

The wait is long and hard.


I always thought he knew and just wasn't interested.

Drew's playstyle is never fun to watch.

I skipped a lot of Rising downtime in Drew play through.

I skipped most of the regular combat stuff. Watching someone just mash on Easy is pretty boring to watch.
