Losing Dan is like when Vinny left. They're both full of energy. Altho I think it's fine that Bombcast is more laid back while Beastcast is more hyper.

They just need another person who can match Brad and Jeff. Drew is great but is less involved in the industry and naturally more quiet, same with Jason

Yea, and they'll need to come up with a lot of new features. Dan came up with some pretty popular ones.

I enjoyed them but you need to skip around the very long dungeon parts. I didn't watch them until after I beat P4G the year before. Still fun but you'll def need to know which parts have the highlights. I basically skipped to cutscenes, boss fights, town/school stuff and most of the parts where they created new Personas. The dungeon grinding can be skipped since they don't say much during them anyway. Sometimes I left them as background noise cuz the dungeon music is great anyway.

There are alot of lol-worthy commentary so you should try watching them again but skip anything you find boring.

I think someone was editing together highlights or an HD remake but yea, the game feels too long to not watch these at the time of. Same goes for stuff like the last Metal Drew Scanlon. Too much filler non-story stuff in that game made for some fun moments sprinkled onto hours and hours of busywork.

I ended up watching the whole thing when I was super into Persona 4 Golden. When I reached a dungeon where I could grind for a bit, I would catch up on the endurance run to the point I was on in the story.

it was a pretty great way to enjoy both the Endurance Run and Persona 4 Golden.

Def playing the game while watching an ER is a good way to go but I just don't have the time to play Persona games. I did do that w/Deadly Premonition back in the day and holy shit what a great/crazy game.

Hopefully you can have time to go through them. Def watch all the cutscene parts tho. The commentary is so damn funny.

Lastest Beastcast was great. As for UPF, I realize this may be an unpopular opinion that makes me sound like a jerk, but I've always found Rorie to be incredibly boring and mundane. Losing Dan feels like almost a fatal blow to GBWest, they couldn't really afford to lose someone with energy. Hopefully Jeff gets around to finding someone soon.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Eh? I swear I did Duolingo in Japanese like a year or three ago. Or maybe that was something else.

I wouldn't mind learning Spanish, but I have JPN and Mando to learn first...

No Japanese or Chinese, but they're working on Klingon and High Valyrian!

I think they have English for Japanese speakers, though.

 

[Jintor]

Wow what a good idea... maybe it's just their code software works better with more heavily related languages than shit with characters...

 

[kingocfs]

East vs. West

Whoever wins, Jeff wins.

 

[Data West]

GBEast are taking the old games from Jeff

I can see why people wouldn't like Rorie for various reasons, but boring and mundane are really weird ones. I can only see someone thinking that if they've only ever seen him on a few UPFs and the Bombcast, or something. Dude's a character.

 

[LiK]

Rorie is a quirky guy.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

They're working on Korean, so I think the issue is the large number of Chinese characters and not necessarily language groupings.

Took a second to remember during UPF that this is more or less the new makeup of the show. Dan's absence is going to be felt, Jeff has nobody to go on wrestling tangents with while Drew plays some boring war thing.

 

[DanLongman]

I really enjoy Rorie, I personally don't like Jason. I find he just feels no matter what's said he needs to reply or talk. Like he trys way too hard. Am I alone in feeling this?

 

[Data West]

But that's Rorie that does that

 

[Chumley]

I really enjoy Rorie, I personally don't like Jason. I find he just feels no matter what's said he needs to reply or talk. Like he trys way too hard. Am I alone in feeling this?

I feel the opposite. IMO Rorie always interjects with something really mundane and not even related to what they're talking about, like Jeff says "I was thinking about Stree Overlord the other day" and then he'll reply right away with "Oh yeah, they updated WoW this morning" or something like that. Like who gives a shit.

If UPF wasn't bad already, and it was already really bad, it's on its way beyond unwatchable.

 

[Alucrid]

yeah but are rorie and jason as insufferable as neogaf posters in the giantbomb ot

 

[Aaron]

UPF has been going through the motions for more than a year now. Thats how the Bombcast has felt to me lately.

 

[neshcom]

yeah but are rorie and jason as insufferable as neogaf posters in the giantbomb ot

Rorie: "Alucrid in the chat says, 'yeah, but are rorie and jason as insufferable as...' oh, probably shouldn't have read that out loud!"

Like, that's a bad thing?

 

[Data West]

If there were more best of videos, I probably wouldn't watch hardly any of the content to be honest. Their videos go so long and I'm noticing more and more how much time I spend not playing games to watch them play games hoping to hear some good goofs and gags.

Like I cna play Truck Sim while I watch, but I don't always want to play Truck Sim.

 

[hamchan]

I play Don Bradman Cricket 14 while watching their stuff. It's good.

 

[FStop7]

The monitor they talked about on UPF turned out to be priced closer to 2000 Euros than $1200US.

I still don't get the thinking behind sending Dan to GBEast instead of trying to hire someone new out there.

 

[EdReedFan20]

I still don't get the thinking behind sending Dan to GBEast instead of trying to hire someone new out there.

His fiancee's family lives out east (Pennsylvania, I think). Maybe that made the decision easier.

 

[ratcliffja]

Dan hated SF and really wanted to move.

Dan wasn't sent, he wanted to move there.

 

[Chumley]

Dan wasn't sent, he wanted to move there.

Ah, didn't know that.

 

[EdReedFan20]

Ah, didn't know that.

Yeah. He apparently made the decision while he visited them during the summer to help them out after Austin left (it's when they recorded the Shenmue Endurance Run).

 

[hamchan]

Vinny making Dan face the camera to tell his awful dead rabbits and dog story is quality. GBEast is the best.

Could someone timestamp that in QLCrew?

Added it, needs to be approved.

Fancy New York Dan and his $80 steaks.

The Giantbomb OT is what people think Giantbomb is in general:
Cranky and generally hating everything.

[Antiwhippy]

Wait, do people seriously think Giantbomb is the kind of operation that does things like making people move states for work

 

[Rainmaker]

Dan leaving is really going to hurt West. Don't know how they'll make it through. This good UPF is a bad sign.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Same. "Dan, fuck this tank" is probably my favorite GB moment ever

Wait, pretty sure this is drew that Jeff is saying that to.

 

[Tubobutts]

Yeah if anyone from Giant Bomb was going to fuck a tank it would be Drew.

 

[Chumley]

If by people you mean me, then yes, I did.

At least he direct if you're going to be a dick.

 

[Jintor]

Chumley, you're a dog tho

I'm glad I'd finished Frog Fractions 2 before watching the QL, because Jeff really spoiled a bunch of really neat discoveries in that world, and also kinda sequence broke. A bit of a shame.
