It was always thought that he had not actually written the books for ten years but you could imagine him supplying the plot outlines. It will be interesting to see if it gets less right wing now he has died and I wonder if they will still put stuff out with just his name or they will add the ghostwriter too - like they did with Frank Herbert and Robert Jordan.

Yeah that spoiler cast was in dire need of someone that went beyond smugly shitting on the game.

The cast of that podcast made it instantly not worth listening to, unfortunately.

I just died 5 or 6 times in a row at the Capra Demon. Didn't even get a single hit in on him until the last effort. Brad I feel your pain

Imagine that cast was pretty awful? Talk about as stuffing as many snobby try hards in one place at once. Both Patrick and Alex have an awful tendency of pretending to know more than they do and talking out their bottoms. Although to be fair Beyond has plenty of narrative silliness to quibble at but I can't imagine the discussion being all that enlightening.

Does dying on them count as utilizing them? I did do that

Guys where are Brad and Jeff's impressions from that Xbox One event last week. Really weird there is no official write-up on the site.
Am I doing this right?
I haven't watched it, but knowing Justin McElroy... I like the dude and think he's super hilarious, but he at times does try a bit too hard to seem intellectual. I'd imagine that it'll rear its head in the video.
Wondering that too, honestly. I guess they were not really impressed since Brad is talking about only DR3 to be a good game.
I haven't listened to the Bombcast, did the Microsoft NDA break before or after it?
If there's nothing on the cast, surely there'll be something tomorrow?
It was after the Bombcast.
I think the NDA is up tomorrow on that stuff.
So Sony is having the press fly out the NY to play PS4 games and then they get a console to take back with them. So why not just let them play the stuff themselves? Hookers and blow is my guess.

What are you talking about? All of them seemed to find parts of the game enjoyable and talked about both the positives and negatives in an entertaining way. I thought it was pretty great.
I'm excited to hear about their impressions of the Xbox One. Hopefully we can get a Skype check in on the podcast next week like Vinny proposed on the most recent Bombcast.

Towards the end. I couldn't give you an exact time, but I'd take a guess at around 3-2 hours left?
Last night I dreamed I was playing Windjammers. I haven't even heard of that game prior to it being played in the GTAV online stream. Ugh, too much exposure... or not enough.
On another topic, the website's videos tab now has an Extra Life category. Also I wish the Beyond spoilercast had an audio-only version.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
yeah those two kotaku guys just can't say anything without seeming like condescending dicks.
one of them was on a sessler spoiled games too
ok man we get it, you're above it all and every game you play is stupid and beneath you.
Two Kotaku guys? If one you're referring to is Justin McElroy, he's from Polygon.
it's like playing RTSes on consoles, you heathens!

Is this pathfinder related as I haven't had a chance to watch any of that yet?

Meh, I can easily switch back and forth. If you just spend some time with each method it's not hard. I doubt Jeff plays many FPSs constantly.
It's also nothing like console RTSs.
For anyone curious.
That explains it of course. I have to remind myself that they are a small group but still have to deal with the bussines stuff and can't always fully concentrate on content.
i only tolerate it in halo because halo is super floaty anyway *folds arms*
And remember they are a smaller group than last year due to Ryan's passing, and Patrick returning home.
Yeah, someone made a figure of each players' characters. They have been using toy's from Vinny's toybox (I think they could even be Max's toys heh)
Halo is slow and floaty because aiming with sticks is slow.

COD Ghosts is 720p on Xbox One and 1080p on PS4, fanboys are salty, they have asked Jeff's opinion on the matter and he's been mum about the issue. So people are upset because of his lack of reaction.
I should be doing hw

Jeff mum, Patrick obtuse and Brad trolling/being Brad.
Nope. No Souls or Volgarr this week.
have they said its not happening or they just didnt' do it yet??
Nothing has happened and nothing is on the schedule. Thursdays are Pathfinder and Fridays are UPF, so I imagine they're not happening this week.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's an impromtu LOLS just before pathfinder. Rorie, Ian and Vinny are already there. Dont wanna get anyone's hopes up, though
