I'm not going to go into detail here, but I suggest you read through the recent thread about Colin:


I don't think this counts as a black mark against Danny. I think Danny is being naive.

It reminds me a lot of the Oculus and Palmer Luckey thing, actually.

Sure, its probably best not to get into it here. I took part in that thread as well, so i'm up to date with Colin's nonsense.

I will just say on the topic of diversity and his show: Colin only had 5 guests before the whole thing imploded, and while they were all white men, they were also people he knows and respects, so I wasn't surprised to see them on his show first.

At the same time, when someone asked him to branch out and get some different perspectives (a perfectly reasonable request), he got pissy and said he doesn't play that game. So from that we can assume he'd continue to have his friends on the show and ignore these issues completely... he really doesn't like to hear opposing opinions. He may be all for diversity, he just doesn't want to actively promote it and seems to view it as pandering, which is shitty.

Brad's leaving Giant Bomb

But he will do his Dead Rising series before that, right?

 

[oti]

Whenever I go "well maaaaaaaaybe ME:A could still be fun" I remember Space Sudoku is a thing. Screw this.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Just played through Eventide. I kind of expected more after seeing all the buzz about it but was a fun unexpected moment. Had some goofy cool moments like

Spoiler

the Hinox's wooden shin guards burning up after it walked through a campfire chasing me. Made the rest of the fight a lot easier wailing on its legs.

Neat.

Much like Undertale or anything hyped in a similar fashion, it's a great experience if you can go in without knowing it's special, but other people's great "special" experiences lead them to talk about how special their experience was which lead others to have non-special experiences.

 

[Strax]

Humble brag?

Nothing humble about that

 

[Twin Tails]

But he will do his Dead Rising series before that, right?

He has to get the Geometry Wars achievement first.

 

[sirap]

Yeah, was probably going to do it soon anyway, but time to call it a day on Danny's Patreon.

Meanwhile he's out there re-tweeting a trans dev who's spent the last hour admonishing the industry's show of support for Colin. Really made a home for himself on that fence.

Huh.

Doom documentary was some good shit but I can't in good conscience get behind this.

 

[hamchan]

Eventide Island really was a quick, easy thing that I expected more from.

 

[oti]

I'm 60h in and I have no idea what Eventide Island is, please don't tell me.

For the last couple of days I'm always targeting a Dungeon but end up doing completely different stuff for hours. And I still feel satisfied.

I'm 100h in and at the point where I could just go ahead and finish the game, but I just can't let go. I'm afraid I won't go back to it once I've seen the credits.

 

[avengers23]

But do they pair well with:

Humble brag?

Do you eat that with a spicy knife?

Guys.



Persona 5

Yo, you got a new riddle for me?

 

[Tubobutts]

Two weeks until we find out they haven't been filming a secret cross coast Jeff & Vinny Endurance Run

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

My computer has excellent comedic timing. Last night I was playing Andromeda, and right at a particularly hilarious animation my PC just hard restarted. I think I should be concerned about that, but it was pretty funny.

The animations aside, I can't get over how odd the games feels. The weird physics-based movement is such a strange design decision. If you zig-zag while running you get this silly mamba-run thing going on.

 

[bgbball31]

My P5 pre-order will get here day-and-date, or should... and then I immediately fly the next day to go to a wedding half the country away till the 12th. I'm going to have to be on internet blackout till I finish it when I get back.

Megatextures and liking Iron Fist.

What a monster.

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Of course he would.

Heh yea, it was a cool little island but definitely overhyped some.

Spoiler

I ended up having to fight the hinox twice since I got cocky fighting the moblins on the last orb. The first time I was lame and just cheesed it with bombs because I didn't have any arrows yet (managed to go there first). Second time though I just flew onto the sleeping hinox and took the orb off his necklace. That was a cool moment for me.

Would like to see more stuff like it though.

 

[kiguel182]

3 episodes in and Iron Fist isn't that bad. The main dude is annoying but overall is a solid 6 out of 10. It doesn't do anything that well but it entertains enough.

 

[KillerDark]

You should check out the Demon's Souls Quick Look:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RWdZQpoNHs
http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/quick-look-demons-souls/2300-1485/

They recorded this before release even, I think. No one knows what the hell is going on. Oh and Vinny is playing.

edit: Young Vinny actually parries something first try.

I would love to listen to any podcasts where they are talking about souls and are mystified. That quick look is great. I unfortunately just started following GB almost 2 years ago so I missed all that. Have caught up on a lot of old videos but not so much on podcasts.

I'm watching the show Broadchurch for the first time right now and it really makes me want to rewatch the whole Contradiction run lol.

Stop after the first season. Second season is trash.

 

[Data West]

I just hope Dawn of War 3 is good

we need a good rts

This is a hard hitting tweet regarding this Colin stuff

Oh and he's at $34k/month now.

I watched the first two and it seems fine. I had severely tempered my expectations, which probably helped. If I could force myself through Luke Cage, I can make it through Iron Fist.

Beyond

gross.

 

[Dangansona]

What time to they live stream the Bombcast? Might actually listen to it live from work.

 

[Tubobutts]

About a little less than 5 hours from now.

 

[Valtýr]

unpopular opinion:

the next gb OT should be a GB/Waypoint joint OT.

 

[Exterminieren]

Stop after the first season. Second season is trash.

Series 3 is damned good so far.

There are unpopular opinions, and then there's inciting a riot.

Somebody get the police.

That's as dumb as saying cnet guys should join them for podcasts.

hahahahaha

 

[Tubobutts]

Is waypoint doing that badly?

 

[mintyice]

Waypoint/GB/CAH joint OT.

 

[Hjod]

I can't handle all the horniness. Waypoint stays in their own OT.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Dude, waypoint got nothing on Mr. Libido, so GB is already automatically the horniest.

 

[Tubobutts]

Waypoint employs Mr. Libido.

Mr. Libido is just an intern at Waypoint, thats how horny they are.

 

[soundscream]

They just hired another full time reporter, they wouldn't be adding people if they were.

 

[Antiwhippy]

So the persona 5 preview thread says that 85 hours would be rushing it.

Some people have played up to 140 hours without beating it.

 

[Incandenza]

Persona 5 is coming out the day my undergrad thesis is due.

Are those 140h fun? Or just dungeon grinding?

 

[Antiwhippy]

I mean it's persona.

You have to do fuck all grinding because of how easy it usually is so I'm going to guess it'll hold true for 5.

 

[ThanksVision]

Persona 5 is going to be so good that Jeff will move to NY just to ER it with Vinny

 

[TraBuch]

Anyone know if 5 uses Golden's skill system when fusing personas? Being able to choose which skills you want.
