I listened in only briefly but it seem as though Jeff was thinking about using the GameFaqs database for games instead of community-edited stuff. Conservatively-speaking, I think it would be for game additions and release dates.
He said when they started off on Comicvine, he was very mindful of the possibility of a buyout or just plain shutting down. To reconcile this with himself, because they were asking the community to populate the data, he made sure the entire thing was always freely downloadable via the API so the work was never lost. Even though he's disappointed the API was never really utilised in ways they hoped, he doesn't seem to regret the effort that went into it at all.
Over the years dude has always been focused on trying to make the internet better, even if it's just small things like banning pagination. Hope Webhook gives them the payday they deserve
so Dave can spend more time hanging out at giant bomb.

Hmmm. I thought you could listen to old Mixlr stuff. I can't find it on the site though.

Yay.
It might have been better as just an interview but I feel any normal quick look of such a short adventure game would disappoint. If you are going to play it anyway then it just spoils too much. If you are not in to adventure games or the reviews did not sell you on this one, then I don't see a QL changing your mind.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I really didn't like it
Seemed like a talk-over-a-thon and then brad said "idk wtf to do so i'm just gonna skip this" and I turned it off
No, he specifically avoided showing any puzzles. That's why he skipped around.
The only "sale" I remember them ever having was $35 for no shirt, 1 year codes.

So there's nothing on that or the Machinima /Xbone/ Youtube thing?
Weird that there's nothing on the site from Patrick either.
Patrick talked at least about Nintendo on Monday. I think the Machinima thing was still developing when he did the podcast.

Ah cool. Haven't had a chance to watch the Monday show yet. Cheers

It seems weird to me to describe BioForge as a "combination of BioShock, Dead Space and Deus Ex" when it came out before any of those games. Not neccesarily inaccurate, just seems strange.

I watched it a couple of weeks ago when I wanted to know what Bioforge was after their GotY stuff.

Man, Patrick can write some good stuff, but when it comes to news he's always behind.
He does deeper investigations, which I prefer. Doesn't post all the headline stuff but tbh I don't go to Giant Bomb for that, since GAF is normally good enough.
Good time to mention that I started going through the Interview Dumptruck and a lot of this stuff is really interesting. Patrick does great work here.
The interview with Tim Schafer/QLEX was a great listen. Got a little real in parts, almost contentious even, but an interesting discussion on the game, the dev process and the industry. A good example of why Giant Bomb press coverage is like nothing else out there right now.

After the swag talk i now want a weekly feature where Jeff just shows off his 90s video game swag and rare stuff.
Make it happen Jeff! MAKE IT HAPPEN.
A special Mixlr with Dave now with call-in Max Tempkin. Best content in a long time!

I'd use that but with Dave leaving the Euro-friendly streaming attempts seem to have stopped, so I barely ever watch anything live anymore.
Just finished the GOTY podcasts. Jeff and (especially) Brad both push way too hard for GOTY. When combined, they outweigh the others and made listening a mildly annoying experience. Vinny is enjoyable as always.

You just have to ask if people going to know more about those games or bioforge.
So I started a new game of Demon's Souls after Brad started playing, and it does seem like a more forgiving game now. I had a really tough time with it when it first came out and never completed it, but now I've played through and beaten the bosses of 1-1, 1-2, 2-1, 2-2, 3-1, 4-1 without dying a single time. Granted, I have the benefit of knowing most of the surprises in store for me, and have countless hours of experience with Dark Souls.
I hope Brad has a similar experience with the first section of Latria as I did back in 2009. Really looking forward to that, though I think he'll also have some trouble with 1-2 which hopefully he'll get to today. I feel like he should do more than one a week, but I can't see that happening.

Jeff was kidding when he said he hadn't seen Empire Strikes Back, right? RIGHT?
Jeff is... let's just say "not a fan"... of Star Wars.
