Got me a PS4 pro today, time to replay The Last Guardian.

At least the reaction to the end of MGR makes this thing worth it.

Yes. I binged watch the series and enjoyed it immensely. I also didn't skip anything because you're going to miss out on some ...VERY interesting discussions.

Alex talked to Swery about new endeavor.
http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/swery-returning-to-game-development-with-new-indep/1100-5584/

That was a damn good read.

Welp...

So now it's just Peter Brown and Mike Mahardy for me. I'm glad she's continuing on Resident Kinevil though, really enjoying watching her play through the entire RE series.

Kojima keeps on retweeting pics of Blake Lively, she must be in the game

Well, he really loved one of her newest films The Shallows which to be fair is a damn fine shark film.

Oh, I still live in Massachusetts, so I still qualify as an asshole. I just moved out of that super insular college town.

I'll also say there's a bunch of awesome things about those towns/schools, it's just that sometimes ...

I'm currently working at Tufts.
But I'm a few blocks away from campus, and don't have to directly communicate with students (either in person or over the phone) so I'm in a much better place now.

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.

Agree that's probably not happening. However, during their 2 year celebration two weeks ago, they hired a Community Manager and said they also hired a full-time video editor, but said the announcement for who it was would come a little later. So who knows. Mary seems to be friendly with them, as she was at the party for the debut of their studio (the video of said party is a Patreon exclusive), but other than that, I don't think she's done anything else with them, apart from when GameSpot and Kinda Funny did E3 stuff together.

Didn't Doom win Biggest Surprise?

oh, so it did.

this hasn't quelled my rage

 

[mnz]

It did though

No, it didn't.

edit: Oh, biggest surprise?

Tufts is a little different, since you're in a city. I grew up in Amherst. 5 nearby colleges, and that's basically it. The vast majority of people I knew had academics as parents.

I live like 5 min away from you.

I'm going to boston for a few days in march.
Never been before, what should I do

 

[Mr. F]

avoid all academics, clearly

 

[Death Metalist]

Denzel gave an incredible performance in Fences. Didn't know this Denzel existed.

You should watch Training Day then.

 

[BearPawB]

avoid all academics, clearly

I am a college professor

so yeah.. good advice

 

[LiK]

I am a college professor

whoa, seriously. pretty cool.

i admire all educators.

 

[Infinite Justice]

Thank god for Alex nipping this shit at the bud.

Dan's questioning can be fine but its when he tries to give an answer without knowing is where i can see people get antsy.

 

[daveo42]

Thanks Lik

Doesn't pay much but you can't beat the lifestyle afforded by staying in college your entire life.

Currently sitting in office waiting for this contra stream to start while fiddling with powerpoints

Murry is going to work for Danny

I could see this being a possibility, but it'd be a real shame to see her taking something off camera. I realise producer is her main role but as an onscreen personality she's so much fun.

It'd be awesome if she is moving over to GB but that does seem too good to be true and if it were I feel like they wouldn't have had Mary on UPF last week.

 

[bemusedchunk]

I've been in the Boston metro area for the past 7 years - moved here from CT, of all places.

I live like 5 min away from you.

Please don't stalk me!

Spoiler

You can stalk me if you want.

 

[Wunder]

THIS

is the run

 

[bemusedchunk]

I'm not a big touristy person, so I would just say explore.
If you are into sports, check out Fenway (and the area).
If you just wanna look at cool shops/stores, check out Back Bay (Eatily opened up around there, which is nuts!)
Can't really go wrong with hopping on the T and just exploring.

 

[Glass Shark]

You should be a fun-loving person with a deep understanding of how video games work. You should be opinionated without being awful about it. You should be comfortable with the idea of public speaking and be able to handle yourself in public situations.

Must not have been a requirement when Dan was hired.

 

[LiK]

Must not have been a requirement when Dan was hired.

Wait, is that a real job description? Everyone should be fired.

 

[Teddified]

definitely "the run"

HR probably put that there.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Without looking, I'll bet there are at least a handful of "experts" on quantum mechanics in the chat.

 

[mnz]

Awful opinions is not being awful about their opinions!

 

[Glass Shark]

HR probably put that there.

I dunno, the full description sounds very much like Jeff's voice and isn't chock full of meaningless corporate drivel like most job descriptions.

Do you want Victor Vran on Steam?

A Steam Code is hidden if you quote this post...



GONE NOW!

That game was pretty fun for like 5 hours trying out all the different weapon skills

 

[Strax]

What's the best way to approach a cinema and ask if I can buy or get their movie posters?

Tell them you are making a short film about a movie poster collector or something like that, they'll help you out.
But that only works once but then you have already made first contact.

Jeff preferring the WiiU tablet for Bayonetta 2 over the Pro controller is the most bizarre thing I've ever heard him say.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I hate Schroedinger's Cat. Not because of the idea but so many people don't understand that it's not literally a cat and just a thought experiment. I tried to explain the concept to a friend (not that I understand all of it myself, just the basics) and he was "I would just wait, if the cat meows it's alive."

GOOD POINT

"I would just wait, if the cat meows it's alive."

CHECKMATE solved it. Nice try nerds.

what if the cat is in a coma

I really like the pro controller. But ive used the gamepad for smash and had no issues. Its really not that bad.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I like the idea of this feature but I can't wait for them to be done with Contra.

 

[Keyser Soze]

I named an old Cat of mine Schrodinger. Sadly he ran away from home a few years ago. I never saw him again after that. No one I ask knows what happen to him.

GLORIOUS RUN

Vinny should just have faded to black from there, crying.

Don't worry, he is both ok and not ok.

Yeah I know people who call it the best controller of the current generation or even ever and Jeff basically said it's shit. What is it? I've never used one.

 

[Wunder]

ok so I was wrong about them beating this in under 5 tries

 

[Chuck]

It's the best when they lose 3 or 4 lives in fewer than that many seconds.

 

[GustyGardens]

Yep. That's how it should have ended. They're showing obvious improvements, though. I expect the next time is the run.
