It's interesting to look at, but the combat and combo system seem boring.

Rorie nailed that, I thought it was for real at first :lol
Wait... MST3K didn't do their riffing live while the movies were in production? I'm sad now...
As for the out-of-sink thing--it's not like Vincenzo and Drewl are checking the videos, seeing a slight OOS, and saying it's good enough then posting it. It's probably something that's going sideways during being shipped off to the compressor. At the least, blame DHL. They don't really have anything to do with it, but their trucks are stupid.

You realise they work for the same company right?

That was great, I agree with Brad though that I wish there was more to the endgame
Well yeah, ultimately they all work under the big corporate umbrella of CBSi but each website gets its own budget. It's really great for Jeff that people like Danny and Chris Watters appear on a lot of Giant Bomb content because he doesn't have to include them in his budget.

You do know both GS and GB are both owned by the same company right? Danny stops by every now and then because he's friends with the crew and they work in the same building and it's why Jeff stopped in on the lounge show and Ryan did a couple of those podcast.
Take off your tinfoil hat.
Why would he? Danny comes by and hangs out for a couple hours maybe once a week.
Again, same checkbook. You act like they are fucking slave laboring this guy for nothing.

The Yawhg is a lot more interesting than I would've thought. Danny's story was especially... unique.
If you mean the last game they all played together, it was The Yawhg.

I think you need to read better.
It's a FACT that it's good for Giant Bomb's accounting that these guys appear for free.
No one is trying to place a malicious intent on what is happening. You seem to think we're criticizing Jeff for this when we're very aware it's just a happy consequence of the two sites being very friendly with each other. It just is what it is.

Is it just me or does sunset overdrive look way too slow?
It absolutely does. There is something almost
edit: Leisurely. Lethargic is too strong a word. It seems leisurely.
It's not really pass/fail. You can have a decent ending without doing very well, it's just that Vinny and especially Danny did very not well
I hadn't really stopped to think much about it, but I do remember them saying there was trouble with recording itself. The video player bit is more of an insult to injury in my mind. I guess it just seems like stuff breaks fairly often, and takes a lengthy amount of time to get fixed. I'm sure they'd like to have all of these issues fixed just as much, or more, though. I imagine it gets to be a real hassle.
I really thought the whole GameSpot thing would put them in a better place so things like this wouldn't happen so often. Hopefully the new hires will be able to help a bit, like you say. Vinny and Drew are definitely great.
It's weird how some people don't realize that friendships exist. Danny, Jeff, Chris, etc just want to hang and help each other out. That's what friends do.
You clearly have no idea how companies are structured and what accounting rules require. Did you know that when subsidiaries of the same company do business with each other, they have to have arm's length prices paid for the transaction, despite having the same corporate parent?
Even though I'm 99% sure Giant Bomb is no longer its own entity, I wouldn't be surprised if Danny's time is billed to them, especially during the normal working hours.

lol that was a great upf.
I'm surprised Brad hasn't played any Ratchet and Clank games. He really missed out on some fun games.

Danny sneaking his way into the GB crew. :bow
Still the truest thing ever said about Brad Shoemaker.

Even with insomniacs pedigree I hope sunset overdrive is not the next fuse.
this reminds me i never actually beat blinx 1. the last world was just way too difficult.
Yeah, might be because I was a kid, but Blinx was really damn hard.

I think everyone on this planet and their dog knew it was a joke, apart from brad that is.
It seems unlikely that they track hourly time like a law firm.

No no, your post was fine, rudds was at fault here for misunderstanding. Gots to learn the longtime members of NeoGAF just like everyone else. He'd be the first to get Astrolad'd, how else is he going to learn!
Yeah, don't buy that for a second. I'm guessing they're on normal salaries, and that their time spent in different parts of the office isn't "billed" to anyone like that.
Anyways, from Twitter it seems like Rorie's part of the stream today won't be archived on the site, while the Danny/Alexis/guests part will (they'll even have Ian and his majestic beard in the control room!)
