As someone who has been unhappy with alot of GB things in the past year or so having people complaining to Jeff directly on a premium show in a call might take the cake for worst content ever.

The best part of the cricket was where Australia destroyed India in India using spin.

I am taking the slow schedule of Yakuza 0 as GBEast saying no one is going anywhere until this game in done!
is CBS not paying them well or something? I also remember Jason saying how he's broke a couple of times
You'd think Vinny would make a nice living considering his position at Giant Bomb and the fact he's been there since the beginning
Edit: Vinny leaving would be devastating, there's really no replacing him

Just bought the F&F bluray for £2.99 from Amazon.

It's just not a high-paying industry. Jeff even mentioned that in the latest Jar Time episode.

The internet was a mistake.
Yeah, if Sega doesn't remake any of the other ones I see them just watching some recap videos or something. Right now the only one only on PS2 is Yakuza 2, right?

Maybe Alex wanted to watch/play the highlights, and Vinny was like "but what about the deep lore/narrative!?" "the narrative... of Mega Man." "Alex, you're playing all of them or you're fired."

I understand Alex's -ography OCD, I do it with music all the time.

The F&F series is a solid investment; I started paying attention to wrestling because of these guys.

After the raw sewage incident and the spider invasion, Vinny had to burn his old house down and build a new one. That's costly, but it was worth it.

The lack of content the last year was all part of a elaborate plan.
Drew will leave to start a production company. Vinny will then leave and work for Drew.
Jeff will got to CBSi management and say they clearly need outside help to produce the amount of #content to keep the site growing.
They then hire Drew and Vinny on that sweet outsider contractor money.
Persona 5 Endurance Run happens.
World Peace.

Did not know that, I'm guessing he built it with sewage and spiders.

Seems like Dan is fucking in LOVE with the BotW.
Guess we won't see people getting angry in the review thread. Ah well. Looking forward to the game.

Apparently there's a new Best of Deadly Premonition Endurance Run series being made, from the user who made the more recent P4 ER videos.
The game seems to be great BUT Dan would probably be head over heels about a new Zelda game regardless.
Also, the stuff he was saying about "walking around the world and doing side quests for NPCs" like it was a great thing doesn't really translate into something actually great, especially for people who are tired of open world games like me.
I think the fact that it has the Zelda name will inflate a lot of impressions.

Indeed.
Would have been fun if either Brad or Jeff reviewed it since they aren't into Zelda as much so if it made a great impression on them it would be noted but alas.
Looking forward to jumping off mountains and shit eventually (aka when i get a switch).
Since Dan isn't the only person who seems to be in love I wouldn't be concerned about inflated impressions to this degree.
My hope is that what he describes the open world is actually true. That Nintendo managed to make an open world actually fun and interesting, instead of a shiny obstacle that often touts freedom but trade-offs focus or interesting content for it.

What I'm actually looking forward to is an open world that doesn't have a shit ton of... Shit to collect. Finally. After a long nightmare of Ubisoft open world games i can finally get an open world game without meaningless crap to collect.
Hearing about having to connect a shitton of items for incessant crafting in horizon nearly put me off the game.

But then you might have a open world with fucking nothing.
I'm assuming this Zelda manages to balance that out somewhat (hopefully)

Jeff lost his mind over Horizon so I don't think he's the one you want if you're looking to validate your disdain for Open World stuff.

I'd rather have fucking nothing to the meaningless crap in Ubisoft games.
Sometimes i want to be in a world and not be reminded that I'm in a game.
There are over 100 of those shrines with puzzles in them. I'd rather have a bit of nothing with meaningful stuff than a ton of minerals and stuff to collect. Seeing this stuff in Mass Effect videos kills my hype for the game instantly.
I also loved how Dan described him going to a place he shouldn't go and dying. Reminded me of Dragon's Dogma.

I don't mind the open world stuff actually and i assume its because i haven't played a lot of those games lately so i can't say i'm burned out (the last open world i was really in was Sleepy Dogs).
Its more about the Zelda series and if this game is enough of a departure people are looking for, especially Jeff who has criticized it for not changing the formula enough or not nailing it when do they go in the other direction.

If they are able to strike a balance of sorts then i'm game since i'm not a fan of either spectrum.
The game series i will always associate with that "i don't belong here" vibe is Breath of Fire.
You can just go ahead and say that call-in shows suck. Be more German. Be direct.
Strange takeaway considering Dan is often harsh on Nintendo games that fail to live up to expectations. Like the last released Zelda game of example, plus literally everyone who is playing it think it's amazing.

i haven't heard dan's praise of botw yet, but keep in mind that he's not super articulate in audio form. think stardew valley goty talk, for example; excellent game that he could only ever hint at its reasons for being so.

I started to listen to UPF last night, got excited for Puyo Puyo Tetris again, and just went back and watched both of their PPT videos instead

Does Zelda not have crafting? In videos there's a big inventory list, but those might just be for cooking.
And as others said, the Dragon's Dogma comparisons are the most encouraging about Zelda.

Which one is this?
Because the most notable games released he still liked and if that Skyward Sword GI review was him it got a 10.
