I really want a timelaps video of Drew's face from an hour before the Patreon started til now. How much do I have to pledge to get that?

 

[Curufinwe]

I have finished Breath of the Wild and can finally reflect on it.

I also just noticed Waypoint's Twitter banner.



Hopefully they'll improve that to a per game level instead of a global system level.

So far I've only had to use it for switching L1 & R1 with L2 and R2 for Resident Evil 4.

 

[Wunder]

Shadow Tactics looks pretty rad

 

[Zocano]

I hope they do a QL for Styx: Shards of Darkness. That first game was really good.

Master of Shadows had some of the best level design I've had the pleasure of working through. It gives Dishonored a run for its money and then exceeds it.

But I don't think the guys really like games where you are powerless or fragile. None of them seem to at all, really. Dishonored makes the combat and killing still feel fun and effective but Styx is some Thief-ass Thief and you are not powerful in Thief and you are not powerful in Styx. It's a stealth game to its core.

Is there still a medal (or whatever it was) for completion time? That really fucks with me cause my brain can't ignore that shit but I like taking my time

Yah one of the medals is for completion time. I'd say you can just ignore it but I know how the completionist itch can fuck with you.

I mean, I should really learn to get over this stuff but there will always be this little voice in my head screaming "GET IT ALL!"
I should just use the Steam Achievment manager and enjoy the game

Is Drew actually going to be a guest this week or are you guys just playin'?

He's too rich and famous now to hang out with the bums at GB

Well at least we have Drew, Jason and Vinny to steer the good ship Giant Bomb. There's at least that.

Getting the speed medal isn't a cheevo for what it's worth.

Only the ghosting medal for every mission is an achievement.

Nioh is old hat. It's all about Zelda and Horizon now

Oh my god Nioh came out only a little over a month ago... It seems WAY longer to me. So many damn games.

As opposed to the beastcast awww yiss.

Haha, good point. For some reason awwww yiss cracked me up.

A point to better illustrate what I meant:

Austin regularly reads off 5+ domains that redirect to Waypoint, which very much feels like it is iterating on Jeff and the domains that go to Giant Bomb. Jeff will say those other domains irregularly and often in a context where it's funny, whereas with Austin and Waypoint, he says them often and the joke has been run into the ground.

I guess it is this mix of subtly and restraint that I find funny?

Stuff like that is why I really can't get into certain games, specifically ones that feature too many options to tackle a problem.

 

[mnz]

They run some jokes into the ground, that's true. But they have this super supportive vibe over there and I guess that's why no one dares to say something negative about it.
And I never thought Austin was very funny to begin with.

Good point--I definitely appreciate the supportive vibe and critical eye. On Waypoint Radio, I like how it goes from Real Talk one minute to a light anime/robot/etc. vibe the next.

 

[DanLongman]

just for fun what would the rest of GB projects be if they were to launch Patreon

Brad - Full time guinea pig husbandry w/ DOTA on the side
Jeff - Giant Bomb 2.0 - Improved Wiki but games before 2005 are not allowed. Encyclopedia bombastica for every C64 game
Jason - Swearing and Fight Stick reviews

Alex - Nihilistic Drumming Lessons
Vinny - Wordworking/Dad Talk show
Dan - Taco Bell / Wrestling show

Rorie - Fulltime Dog Chomping

David - World history podcast w/ an indepth look into the economics of the time

 

[Ashby]

As opposed to the beastcast awww yiss.

One of the reasons Jeff and Vinny is the GOAT pairing is that Jeff reigns in Vinny's tendency to run jokes into the ground.

 

[wenis]

Nioh is old hat. It's all about Zelda and Horizon now

Now there's two games I can't stop playing. I'm nearly done with Horizon, but also kinda thinking I want to 100% even tho that seems rather daunting. We'll see.

Vinny sold me on Zelda. It got really tiring hearing a lot of people go a little too hard into zealotry over that game but Vinny was level headed and even about it and that prompted me into buying it more than anything else.

Oh my god Nioh came out only a little over a month ago... It seems WAY longer to me. So many damn games.

Too many damn games.

 

[justjim89]

Shadow Tactics really does look cool. Gonna have to pick that up at some point.

 

[Incandenza]

If I was in Drew's position I would have progressed from shitting myself over the idea of starting my own solo business to shitting myself over the idea of producing videos worthy of $15k/month.

I am not cut out for self-employment.

[KingKong]

Since Drew already knows how to fly it will be easy for him to take the patreon money and escape to an island

I wanna hang out with drew on discord

Turn it down a notch for the rest of us regular guys Drew, geez

 

[demidar]

Swatch Beats? Now you know Drew's ascended to another plane of existence.

 

[pizzacat]

How does someone get their hands on joeku around here? 🤔

 

[Fireblend]

How do I get into the Drewscord? Pretty sure I should have access to that.

I was literally just listening to the clip where Jeff tries to sell everyone on Swatch internet time

If you have to ask...

 

[repeater]

Uhhh.. I've never been to an AMA before, so maybe this is a stupid question, but

do you think

Spoiler

he'll show it

?

 

[HappenstanceUK]

Just completed Zelda. Personally I think it was a bit overhyped but definitely a great game.

First ever 3D Zelda I've actually completed as well.

How many hours?

 

[HappenstanceUK]

How many hours?

35+ according to the Switch

 

[Weetrick]

35+ according to the Switch

Nice. I'm about there (might have crossed 40) and I'm in the last dungeon. I will probably do some more exploring before heading for Ganon though.

 

[HappenstanceUK]

I think I did all the towers, 40 odd shrines and all the dungeons before I headed to Ganon. Didn't end up doing any of the memories so I didn't get the best ending apparently but I never really felt any need to see more of that stuff.

 

[BearPawB]

I really liked the memories

 

[wild_fire987]

35+ according to the Switch

How do you see how long you've played? When I checked my profile it only shows me that "You started playing Zelda 4 days ago."

 

[Incandenza]

Wow cool picture!
...wait a minute. Enhance!

Enhance!

Boy that looks an awful lot like

Vinny leaving GB confirmed. It's over.

 

[HappenstanceUK]

How do you see how long you've played? When I checked my profile it only shows me that "You started playing Zelda 4 days ago."

For some reason Nintendo have set it to only start telling you 10 days after you start playing. Even then it only tells you in 5 hour increments.

 

[Hindl]

I really liked the memories

Yeah VO aside I thought they were cool, and I did like that you could see them in any order. Led to a real Tarantino vibe where I saw a memory about them preparing to do something after I had seen a memory that shows the results of what they did

Only appears 10 days after you start playing. Nintendo

I'm pretty sure it's going to be a Roriecast today.

I've been watching a lot of flight vlogs on youtube. I can see why it's addicting.

[funkystudent]

Jeff and GiantBomb have a pretty hard "no shameless crowdfunding pimping" rule so I dont expect to see Drew until at least the the buzz has died down and he is not in launch mode.

Spoiler

Unless it was Harmonix of course. Then shill that shit all over the site.
