Just got my poster! It's not the elusive Alexis signature one nor the elusive Drew blood one, which means a temporary setback in my plan to plunder Alexis' bank account to fund an army of Drew clones.

My poster was delivered yesterday to my parents, I have to go pick it up and see if I have Alexis signature or the blood of Drew on it still!

I, like, hate it when I'm like, listening to the, like, Bombcast, and like I notice how much Patrick says like. Cannot unhear.

Yaiba looked fun in that Quicklook. Simple, dumb fun with just mind-numbing dialogue that occasional make you chuckle of its stupidity and some visual flare.

Not for full price mind!

I can't believe it's $60 on Steam. I'll bite at $10

Sweet I'm totally on the Bottas bandwagon. Love his all or nothing attitude.

I'm just going to be kinda patriotic and continue rooting for my German countrymen.

Alt-F1 btw is really good. It got me back into F1 and I am already looking forward to the race in Malaysia this weekend.

I'll bite at never, because why waste time on garbage?

Wow, this Johnny guy has a wife? Yikes...
About 3 E3's ago, Johnny and Adam Boyes did this great roadtrip video stream of their journey to the show. Johnny's (then) fiancée was present for some of it, and the chat was just full of people saying how much he's punching above his weight. Felt bad for the guy, but they all found it hilarious. Besides, the stream was amazing - Adam was just talking for hours about the business development side of gaming. He really knows he shit, no surprised at all Sony snapped him up.

It's £50 ($80) in the UK. I have to imagine this was a publisher intern's first time using the Steam platform tools.

Is there a link to this magic that you speak of?
 
Yaiba is £50 on Steam in the UK. That's a £20 premium on most PC new releases and £10 more than retail console games.

If anyone actually purchased it in this country I would be amazed and slightly disgusted.

I got the Steam version from a trader for 20 bucks. :p

I like to try garbage games. I need to see if I'll end up enjoying them.

So, Eric Pope converted WWE wrestler Xavier Woods to team Windjammers. This is getting out of hand. And it's all Giant Bomb's fault.

1993 Williams had the best sponsorship:

Was always fond of the Marlboro McLarens myself.
The Martini livery just reminds me of old Lancia rally cars


And SEGA Rally
Well, yes, but it's very specifically when they were in F1. I love the Lancia Delta Integrale and the 037. The Stratos is my favorite rally car ever though.

If more folks are getting interested in F1 they should head over to F1-GAF as well. Always nice to see new faces there.

edit: I think I'm going to faint.

Has there been any word on whether today's Bombcast has been recorded yet? There have been some... developments... that I hope they talk about.

My first thought as well, kind of why I wish the bombcast was recorded later in the week sometimes, it sucks to have to wait for the next podcast for news that breaks out at inopportune times.

Bombcast needs to add a section to talk about this Facebook acquiring Occulus stuff, just like when they did for the whole infinity ward scandal going down. Obviously this only applies if they already fully recorded the thing. Can't wait til next week to hear their thoughts on it.

There was one time, and only once I can really recall, where they actually had recorded an emergency, small segment because of breaking news that was edited into the podcast that they had initially finished recording on the usual Monday, two years ago or so.

Ah, yeah, that must have been the one.

You'll probably get some cursory discussion in UPF. Jeff's already said a couple of things on twitter.

"I feel like I should be largely indifferent or lightly positive about the Oculus stuff, but I’m uneasy and/or disappointed. Not sure why."
&
"Just strikes me as Facebook saying “oh man, the world is passing us by” and opening the wallet to buy some coolness. Dunno!"

If there was anytime to do one of those impromptu news streams like the one Patrick and Alex did for Irrational now is the time. Oculus buyout, Disney buying Maker Studios, several Sony departures including Seth Killian etc.

I agree, I'd like to see Patrick and Alex's opinions outside of twitter. Wonder if they'll record another segment for the bombcast.

At the risk of sounding shitty I'd prefer a SF office impromptu stream more so than a Patrick/Alex one, although I did appreciate them doing that for the Irrational closure news.

Hell, maybe I'll even tune into the Tested podcast and see how
much they get wrong when
they cover it.

Still without luck
