I'm not sure if that's flat as fuck as much as grungey as fuck textures.

As much as I actually love cave story.
I can get down with what you're putting down.

Purely curious, why couldn't drew do this as a part of giant bomb? Not enough cbsi monies? Would it have been weird if he stay with gb while going through patreon as well?(yeah most probably)
Def budget and there's no way they would allow him to travel around and not work with them in studio.

remember how it took them months to get money for video cards for the office PCs to literally do their jobs

The scope is big enough that it probably needs to be a separate thing with its own individual budgeting and staff.

Haven't played Zelda in over 24 hours. I'm getting the shakes.
Completely different focus and scope, I would imagine.

Look how long it took them to get new shelves for the office and how it takes 6 months to a year to hire someone.
CBSi seems like a slow moving ship and I can only imagine trying to explain this to management.
Or how they can't even start the hiring process until somebody's last day has already passed.
What the actual fuck, CBS? Notice exists so you can start filling the position early without interruption.
This goes pretty deep into the inner workings of Giant Bomb and Vinny's thoughts on all of it.
Pretty much a must listen to most of this thread, I would say.

I mean there is that, but seriously, this isn't as feasible as a side thing as people think it is. Travel is expensive. Expanses needs to transport recording equipment is expensive. Expenses needed to schedule filming in foreign countries is expensive. And most importantly it's all very time-consuming. What he wants to do can't be done as a side thing.
I guess I emphasize this more because I have way too much experience with people usually underestimating the amount of effort and budgeting needed for creative projects. Production is such an underlooked part of such projects. People just think "Just bring a camera how hard can it be?"

Plus the scope and associated costs would likely increase.
And that's with an experienced one person "team".
He also mentioned the number he's aiming is 5-6 of these trips a year.
A) Drew would be gone all the time which is not something you want from your video producer
B) Drew would have to file expenses with CBS which he'd likely get declined on
C) Why give CBS the trademark for your own original creation that they had absolutely nothing to do with?

I hope they add Persona 5 so I can play it.

Well, I assume you'd have to wait. I'm sure these will be games from 2013 and 2014 to start off.

I mean you give the trademark if CBS is willing to fund your new thing. 
This gives him more control over what he wants to do though.

So I ordered the silly $80 Persona 5 edition with the plush toy and the bag.
I dont know why. I am weak.

Can this service still be used to rent games individually? Or is it only a subscription model? If the former, I could see myself using it to rent some PS4 games if the prices can compete with RedBox.

The bag kinda broke it for me. It's way too big for shit I don't want laying around the house.
I'm glad they're diving into the side stuff in Yakuza 0. Lots of fun to be had.
But I doubt they'll finish either of the business activities for Majima or Kiryu. They're both big time sinks but they give you probably the best reward you could ever want:
a 4th style.

I'm waiting to finish Yakuza 0 (after I finish Zelda...and maybe Persona 5) before getting into BITE. Did they do the pocket racing side-story yet?
Same. The bag will sit in my closet next to the Resident Evil 5 Tricell bag and the Mirror's Edge runner bag that never left the plastic wrap. I'd have said I never buy special editions, but I did just get that Zelda Master Edition. Really only Zelda and now Persona I'm willing to shell out for.

Nope. It used to. I was bummed when they took it away, as I would be more likely to rent a game that way. Right now, it's $20/month and $45/3 months (essentially $15/month). Every once and a while they offer a $99/year (essentially $8.3325/month) option. If they ever made it $15/month, I would probably subscribe. But, that was before, when it was just PS3 games. Now that it's PS4 games too, the $20/month seems a little more appealing.

I like to rewatch the Demon's Souls LP every now and then because it's so so good. And it's probably the best fresh/newbie Demon's Souls LP to watch out there. Most others are either literally spoonfed the game (I'm looking at you, Woolie) or aren't quite as endearing and humorous for the viewer (Kayplays is decent but can be a bit too slow and methodical if you are yearning for goofs and gafs and the player being a bit scrubby so it gives some intensity to the viewer).
I wonder how his Patreon is going to do during the in between time. That's a lot of time on the road but that's probably gonna mean pretty chunky times between content huh? I guess he could periscope his time on the road to fill gaps where possible.
Demon's Souls is one of my absolute favorites among GB content, it's SO GOOD.

how could it die if it never really lived
Drew talked a bit about that during the stream and liked the idea of streaming games like flight sims etc in the downtime.
Basically, just expect him to follow Danny's footsteps, sounds like he helped Drew a lot planning this.
