I know GB videos have always been on the quiet side, but they've gotten even quieter lately, right? Or am I crazy? I feel like I'm having way more "[plays a youtube video] holy shit my volume is cranked" moments than usual lately.

Also: Finally watching last week's UPF and they're talking rhythm game hardware and this is my fucking jaaaaam.

Edit: Has anyone streamed or watched the Telltale Batman game on Beam? Is the latency low enough for the "audience voting" mechanic to work? Tempted to try streaming that at some point. (Though I'd likely not have any viewers to do the voting thing anyway, lol.)

 

[LurkerPrime]

I want to say there was a time when both studios were about even in the volume department, but it's been divergent for the last few months at least. Like, it varies, but BWest has been making much quieter videos lately.

Edit: I do raise volume for all GB videos, though.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I had to triple my volume for GB streams this week (I normally have to double it as it is) so it totally isn't just you.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Yep, GBWest has been very quiet this week. Never had normalization issues in the past between the coasts.

 

[Basileus777]

This UPF archive isn't great. The video is super washed out and there's some sort of audio buzz in the background.

I noticed that too. It's like they're using a limited color space or something.

The buzz was there during the stream, and it's definitely not the air conditioning noise.

 

[Twin Tails]

Lang streaming pro Hitman, seems hard af.

 

[Booker Dewitt]

So I drove through Kansas for reasons explained in the Mental health thread today...and man did it really make me understand why Dan is the way he is. I didn't have any prolonged conversations with anyone, but I saw a lot of people who seemed like they would hold fireworks in their hands as it went off.

Also, right before the border, I went to a McDonald's for some quick gut fillings, and I got flashbacks to my time as a four year old at NASCAR qualifiers in Pennsylvania. Just a bunch of adult males wearing high waisted jeans with plaid shirts neatly tucked in.

Catching up on UPF, Jason taping the quilt to the TV reminded me of the talk that set decorations were coming when they first moved into the new studio. Good times.

Were just a few short months away from set decorating. Duders have been slammed since the move.

Just finished Chapter 4 of Yakuza 0. This game is fantastic.

That is the exact point I really got into the main story. Such a good cliffhanger for the chapter.

I'm still on chapter 3 and I can't bring myself to stop doing side quests.

I really need to move the story along.

Goro is such a good character.

I did the same for a while. Having been to Japan recently I was really getting a kick out of their Dotonbori (Kabukicho is not really recognizable unfortunately). The whole chapter 4 kinda snuck up on me. It ramps up fast.

I broke up a panty selling ring.

I broke up a panty selling ring.

I started a quest by replying to a message left by a lonely girl left on a public bathroom wall.



Yakuza is good.

Darn right!

sad end to that one

 

[slightconfuse]

I body slammed someone into a fountain in yakuza

Also has Jeff played outrun? I need some tips

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

Vinny needs to fade the Beastcast intro music out a lot sooner. It's annoying when they're full in to a conversation and there's music playing at almost the same level as their voices.

 

[funkystudent]

Remember when the Giant Beastcast intro music was only a placeholder?

Episode 90 and that placeholder still going strong.

It's betta than bombcast's tune.

Edit: Is Exploding Kittens actually fun? I've had in for like two years and never have played it. Wanted to take it to a shindig.

 

[Twin Tails]

That arrow pointing down music is better than the Beastcast's.

It's kind of like Uno but with a lot of LOL RANDOM.....'charm'...

 

[Data West]

I find Nioh to be a much more enjoyable game than any Souls game.

 

[LurkerPrime]

Huh. I really like the Beastcast's opening. It's my favourite of GB's different intros over the years.

Waypoint raised my standards on production, though. The way they sync the endtro music with Austin saying "peace" is really good stuff. Dunno that it'd be right for GB, but it builds a nice familiar structure to the ending of a podcast.

 

[McCHitman]

Ehhh.

You know what's real good? Remember when Vinny would host the Bombcast and that melody of different versions of the theme would play? Well that Funk version of the Bombcast theme is the best EVER! EEEEVER!

I wish I had a good clip of just that Funk version.

 

[broncobuster]

Corrections music is the best of the regular podcast jams.

yeah it's good shit

the thing about the beastcast opening is cos it's a music library track I've heard it on like 3 different news shows, though the only program i remember was a news article about bikie gangs.

Ain't nothing beat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ytkiOvL9DZ4

The Waypoint theme timed with the "Peace" soundbyte is pretty goddamn close, though.

maaan the lighting was so much better in the old studio

also that sub game on UPF looked rad. The transition from 3D nav to 2D management was cool.

This is tough to listen to now. Perfection.

+1 on the Beastcast theme praise. It fits that show really well. I look forward to Vinny's intro to that show so much every week.

lol @ the latest 'best of' being entirely East content.

 

[Rickenslacker]

I love how offended Jeff B got when Vinnie read out the entire long winded CNET url.

He was not having any of it this week, it was great. Super defensive Bakalar is hilarious.

I actually fell asleep looking at the Divide QL yesterday. That rarely happens me.

That game is now equally as boring as a terrible episode of RAW in my mind.

 

[Lunar FC]

When I heard the peeps that made FTL were making a Jaeger vs. Kaiju game I was so excited. But looking at the trailer I don't see a single thing I like about it.

That was one of those awkward quick looks where the game is clearly bad but the crew can't rip into it because it was made by a friend of the site.

it looks mechanically interesting but the art style is just so drab

How does one make game like this and not have cool looking robots and monsters. 🙄

 

[Fantastapotamus]

It looks like somebody reaaaaaally likes Advance Wars and they tried to meticulously recreate it's look.

I wouldn't say it's "clearly bad" maybe clearly boring. Seemed to have a lot of technical junk as well. The QL was boring to me because the game has lots of talking and the guys didn't seem to want to talk over it like they do for pretty much every other game. Game just seems boring, like it's a walking simulator that's doesn't know it and therefore doesnt embrace the positives of that type of game. The music is good but kinda seems too large for the game

 

[Deleted member 30609]

I love love love the beastcast, but yeah, they intro is... hot garbage. No. It's fine. It's just generic. Generic hot garbage.
