Who are you talking about?

seriously if you have a complaint to make, name who you're talking about it, don't be passive aggressive

 

[MassiveNights]

People get mad when they talk about games, people get mad when they don't talk about games. I would have been fine if it was 3 hours of Nioh talk because Jeff enjoying that game blows me the hell away

'get mad'

Projecting!

 

[mnz]

Anyway - am I alone in this thinking?

You're not alone and it has come up a few times. And they did actually mix it up with a few guests recently which I enjoyed, but I don't think the last Peter Brown episode was very popular (especially here).

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Oh right. Maybe it's best to keep those comments to the appropriate threads?

Probably.

Who are you talking about?

Moriarty.

to be fair nothing is

 

[Dineren]

I enjoyed the Peter Brown episode. I've actually liked most of the content so far this year, I'm glad I'm still premium.

 

[mnz]

Moriarty.

I don't watch them usually, but that video wasn't bad at all.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I thought the Peter Brown episode was super fun to listen to and I didn't understand a word he was saying

Yeah, I forgot about Peter. I enjoyed him on the 'cast because he went into some really interesting discussions about his collection and the things he goes through to procure items.

Also, to reiterate - Will Smith is fucking great.

Remember Tested?

Check out the thread. You might change your mind.

Remember Tested?

Adam Savage's Tested?

 

[Lunar FC]

Remember Tested?

Adam Savage's Tested?

Edit: Lmao, beaten.

 

[mnz]

Check out the thread. You might change your mind.

Unless he was lying or there was inaccurate information in there, I'd rather avoid a 20+ pages thread about politics and judge for myself...

Remember Tested?

They really liked Apple

 

[Zaph]

Remember Tested?

When Will left tested and they hired Jeremy and Kishore, their podcast got really good. Not WANG-quality, but still good.

 

[Twin Tails]

Diamond Dongs

 

[Mr. F]

Remember Tested?

I remember Gary being more and more insufferable as time went on and Norm/Will never quite nailing the co-host chemistry to carry the podcast or site. Good times.

 

[Death Metalist]

I sold my Vita and my 3DS (cause I never played with them anyway) and pre ordered a Switch and Zelda for 80€. I don't know why.

Bold move(I still play my 3DS, going through the Zero escape and Ace Attorney series slowly). I got the Switch pre-ordered as well, looking forward to it.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Adam Savage's Tested?

Edit: Lmao, beaten.

Remember when it was Jamie and Adam's Tested? Remember when their podcast self-destructed because Gary went off to write shitty movies?

 

[Catvoca]

I really liked the Peter Brown episode too. The Will Smith episode before it though was a snoozer. I don't even think I got close to finishing it.

Moriarty.

Oh, of course, I should have known. Yeah, I'm not fan of his at all.

The transformation of "man of the people" gary whitta into "erasing all the bad stuff I said about star warson gaf/getting free stuff on twitter/hollyworrd" garry whitta was always a little disappointing to me. At some point I enjoyed the old Tested podcasts more than the bombcasts

Eh, dude always came off as deeply superficial and one who could dish shit out but not take it. Disappointing yeah, but wasn't incredibly surprising to me.

 

[TraBuch]

But I like Book of Eli 😕

Yup. Entertaining when he was in control but deeply affected by something else when he was not the one being fawned upon.

 

[Twin Tails]

 

[LiK]

I think Will, Gary and Norman were a good trio for the podcast. Fun discussions.

 

[Strax]

Gary has had my dream career for about 17 years.

Writing about games.
Writing about movies.
Writing games.
Writing movies.

and that's not even counting all the Whiskey Media stuff.

 

[Death Metalist]

Let's go

Having barely followed Tested at all, I'm interested in some examples of the before good GaryWhitta and the now bad Gary Whitta.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

What is the Tested podcast like now? Does anyone know?

 

[Hindl]

Fuck yeah

 

[Meneses]

Nioh must be doing alright, I went to my local Gamestop and Walmart / big outlet equivalents and it was sold out.

Granted, it might be due to having low stock to begin with. I didn't like the first demo but good word of mouth got me kinda interested in it.

 

[LiK]

i quit when Will quit. Norm is not entertaining without Will ribbing him.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

I hung in there for months after Will, but it's just such a garbage podcast I stopped. Took the site out of my bookmarks a while ago too.

Old Tested podcast eps are still good. Gary kind of always did the "Someone give me a Steam code for [game]" thing. He always deleted the tweet after he got his code.

 

[HamPster PamPster]

Remember Tested?

Octoberkast was incredible the two or so years it ran.

 

[Catvoca]

I don't know much about Whitta but he did a really interesting episode of Kinda Funny where he talked about the crazy lucky way that he got The Book of Eli sold that's well worth a listen.

 

[ratcliffja]

E3 is available to the public (properly this time).

That's good and bad. It's good because my wife can finally come with me to E3. It's bad because the lines are going to be even worse than before.

 

[Blitzrules240]

OMG Guys, CONTENT

QL LIVE: Nioh at 4 PM ET.

I'll give that a listen!

 

[kingocfs]

Tested during the Will, Norm and Gary days was fun as hell. I really liked their podcast.

[Death Metalist]

Uh WHAT

 

[ev0]

Having barely followed Tested at all, I'm interested in some examples of the before good GaryWhitta and the now bad Gary Whitta.

Some of the other users here posted some personality quirks that he always had, but maybe more suppressed. The old Tested podcast had great chemistry and it was a good listen.

Maybe some things just look worse once you made it to a certain level? Like begging for a free steam code when you just a freelance writer vs posting on twitter asking for a free copy of titanfall while writing for star wars. Or lamenting that Mass Effect 3 CEs are sold out in an attempt to get someone to send it to you.

Of course I know some throw that criticism at Dan too....

 

[avengers23]

I hope it goes better than the GBEast Nioh video.

 

[Blitzrules240]

Think I just lost five years off my life thanks to Drew.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Any baseball fans going to watch the 2017 World Baseball Classic? For those that don't know what that is, it's sort of baseball's version of the World Cup. The previous years were 2006, 2009, and 2013 (with Japan winning the first two and the Dominican Republic winning the most recent). America has never actually earned a medal (placing 4th in 2009). Japan is the only country to have earned a medal each time (2 golds, 1 bronze). It's beginning in March, but I believe the rosters are being announced tonight.

I would if the US didn't always get worked..

Do we actually bring our big guns?

What do you mean?

 

[Blitzrules240]

What do you mean?

He was testing out some new splash screen stuff and it ended up being like a jumpscare for most of us watching the stream lol.

Yeah maybe,

The negativity is exhausting.
