Wow. That Buzzfeed article is something else. I guess the Drew meme has finally run its course.

Hell no
If the ps+ games are real for march, Im fucking tired of "muh indies" being the free games. Fuck off sony
Indies aren't real games bro.
I hope you're not dissing blitzball here

I hope Jeff makes a Quick Look for the new Blaster Master
Don't you have a pointer in that game? How can you play coop on one console with the one Joy-Con then?
Butterfly catching and lightning dodging. I actually sorta like Blitzball, but it gets old after 30 matches trying to get the Jupiter Sigil.
Co-op might be online? (Haven't watched it, don't know if they said how it will work).

Was this you or hockey man? 🤔
Yeah, that was me.

If there's the chance they'd have to drop Rocket League to 30fps on Switch, I get why they wouldn't port it.
WTF IS GOING ON
I usually get my indies on steam but the portable nature of the switch and the support it seems to be getting probably means the switch will be my indie machine from now on. Really happy that it doesn't use a proprietary memory solution because that would have turned me off completely to that idea. Micro sd is cheap enough for me to buy lots of games digital.
Indies (made with Unity) will probably run like shit on it due to well, Unity. I'd wait until you go all in.

The Switch seems like its gonna be the next Vita aka portable indie machine.
Plus Nintendo stuff.
That seems OK.
I aint getting it day one but if they can get a Vita level of indie support and maybe try get some old legacy games like Apelunky I would definitely jump on one, one of these days.
Also I have come to terms that me and Austin Walker want completely diffrent things from games. I dont jive with that guys tastes all that much.

Far Cry 2 was a bad game.
Yeah I'll probably still buy indies on my pc, but probably a lot fewer. Like I don't even want to think about the performance yooka laylee will have on the switch.
Far cry 2 is the only good far cry game

Perhaps we'll have some 8-4 goodness on the bombcast?
Aw yiss.
Great news! Gimme some GDC goodness.
Awesome! If nothing else, they'll force a Nindies discussion, whether Jeff wants it or not
More like Scanloff amirite

Wait, does the switch have analog triggers? ��

It does not.
I play rocket league with keyboard and mouse so I don't know but is analog triggers needed?

Bioware's last three games range from terrible to underwhelming, so that's hardly a surprise.
For Rocket League it's not a big deal, but other racing games it seems like that would be awful.
Didn't Mark leave 8-4?
I was hoping for a Torment QL, then after reading some reviews on it, I realized they will hate this game and it will probably be a boring QL.
Like Shadow Tactics before it, there are awesome games that just aren't up the crew' alley and/or don't show off well on video. Torment is the latter. LOTS of awesome writing doesn't necessairly make an interesting video.
That said the game sounds pretty great and if folks are into that sort of thing (reading and lots of it), they should check out Torment. I have heard of some console issues, but AFAIK the PC version is quite good.

He left 8-4 but still does the podcast.
He did, but he's at GDC.

Think I'll wait til the archive in case the 8-4 guys are as fast and loose with spoilers as they use to be. Wouldn't want to know if there's a boomerang in Zelda BotW.
