Giant Bomb #9 | Malik is a prick

 

[Serra]

Vinny stream, best stream.

 

[Indignate]

Just catching up on this.

I love how it devolves to dick talk ten minutes into the game while Vinny is just trying to play it straight.

 

[conweller]

Technically, Dota2 has 2 maps if you include Diretide...

Diretide is a myth propogated by the internet to sell more hats.

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

If they talk about poop on the bombcast next week it will be my last bombcast for a month or two. This is disgusting. It's been recurring for weeks and weeks now. They're obviously deliberately making the editorial decision to subject us to this. I'm so fucking sick of it. Jesus Christ. Cut it the fuck out.

"If I were to throw my shit at someone, I would do the shitting part someplace private, then step out with a handful of action."

Such a classic Bombcast moment.

...but...but...but...it's working!
I checked my steam account and I've spent over 200 bucks in Dota 2.

I feel dirty.

 

[kai3345]

The best Bombcast poop story is them talking about Pooping into one of those drive-thru tubes at the bank :lol

 

[sub_o]

Also, can't wait for the mystery delivery to arrive at GB's office today!

 

[Yaboosh]

Fridge-gate 2014 is going to be amazingly entertaining.

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Oh God. This Dan Ryckert egg white story can't possibly be true. I'm crying at this point.

"If I were to throw my shit at someone, I would do the shitting part someplace private, then step out with a handful of action."

My favorite Bombcast poo moment will forever be "Hook my mouth up to that dog's ass!"

We need the tracking number.

 

[Fotheringay]

I'm starting to think Dan Ryckert and Armond White are actually the same person at this point.

Dan shouts at people at the New York Film Critics Circle Awards?

This fridge is gonna show up with like 2 mins left in the workday.

Gods will be watching is truly fucking dark. Bought it.

 

[KingKong]

I'm still sitting here laughing at the egg story, like how is that even possible

it's pretty shitty

 

[BearPawB]

OH MY GOD THAT BUG IN THE CREW QUICK LOOK.

That was so great.

 

[Consequence]

I really want the DOTA chest opening/peegs stream to happen.

 

[Hoo-doo]

The crew looks okay but I really don't like open world racers. They all seem so soulless and the driving mechanics seem to take a backseat to the actual freeroam aspects.

It's incredibly impressive that the map is so gigantic and it looks well made but the actual racing bits seem completely generic and dull.

 

[Infinite Justice]

it's pretty shitty

taking a dump on the listeners?

 

[Freedom = $1.05]

i just imagine a world where vinny is eating egg whites and dan is going to spin class and both are puzzled by what the other is doing all of the time.

 

[KingKong]

OH MY GOD THAT BUG IN THE CREW QUICK LOOK.

That was so great.

timestamp? I turned it off ~20 mins in because it was kind of boring

watch from 36:14

I actually think this game looks really impressive outside of the awful story stuff. The open world is amazing.

Watching them try to climb pike's peak at the end of the video is a fun watch too.

Game is certainly back on my radar, though it doesn't really have as much soul as I was hoping it would. Mechanics aside, it looks and sounds like every other racing game out there.

 

[VibratingDonkey]

It's a MMO, MMO requires online connections.

From everything I've seen of it, it works exactly like the TDU's, which did not require an internet connection to work, or to not dump you back to the main menu and lose your progress whenever there's connection issues.

Nope, sorry. I'm going to wish failure on any game that implements always-on DRM for a game that doesn't absolutely need it.

Yep, and microtransactions.

I'm with these guys. I like open world racing games and customization a lot. I don't want to see games I like get ruined by this bullshit.

I think it's silly to condemn micro transactions without knowing how they actually affect your gameplay. If the curve of acquiring stuff is fine without microtransactions, and the game is fun to play to get the things you would normally use microtransactions to purchase, I don't see why it is worth condeming. It offers another option to those who would like to use it and don't have the time otherwise, or those who just don't like playing games that long.
[snip]

There is nothing positive that could come out of monetized progression being normalized in $60 games. Cheats would accomplish the benefit you're suggesting.
All companies want more revenue, and when this model allows them to increase revenue by making the progression more arduous, that is a shitty model that can fuck off into the sun.

'Hat Bonanza' in a couple of minutes, hm.

Also, where's my Beast archive.

 

[EdReedFan20]

There's a new episode of the Lost podcast. I'm quite surprised.

Vinny struggled with the video sync the last time with the Bot Colony stream, I'm guessing something similar is delaying it now.

Also, there's a lot of hats on this stream.

edit: Gods Will Be Watching looks fantastic.

 

[LiK]

hahaha, i knew more than 1,000 guys would watch Brad open hats

 

[Zaph]

I'm sitting here quite happily watching a dude unlocking trumped-up achievements in a game I couldn't give a shit about.

I don't think I can ever belittle an anime fan ever again.

He might be called Doomling but he's really 1000 years old.

Welp, I guess Patrick's moratorium on that is over https://lostrewatch.simplecast.fm/5

This was the only thing I have funded on kickstarter. Currently in the process of rebuilding the site on webhook.

 

[Majine]

Aww yis, Hearthstone Naxxramas QL incoming!

Card games y'all.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I don't know about Gods will be watching. It seems kinda cool but also waaaaay too repetitive. Doing that whole "Think-Lie-Provoke-Confess" thing for 20 days (asuming nothing changes) seems way too long. i was already bored at the end of the QL before Vinny took it a click too far. I think I'm gonna wait for a sale here.

 

[Kelas]

Anyone having trouble getting the twitch stream to show on the gb chat page? Using Chrome, and it works fine on the twitch site, and the chat page embed works fine in firefox. Weird.

 

[daydream]

Thursday = Rorie day? I approve. Potentially a triple feature.

I think this'll be an Alex thing.

 

[ryanmac]

So this is happening...

 

[daydream]

PSO2 also has bingo cards btw. Jeff is a bingo man.

I think this'll be an Alex thing.

Didn't know Alex played Hearthstone. More beast content is also fine, of course.

 

[Infinite Justice]

I guess you don't watch the morning show then?, Both of them got obsessed with that thing.

moratorium on what ?

 

[Fantastapotamus]

I don't know how to embed tweets sooo....

I just beat the last of the heroic mode bosses in Curse of Naxxramas. Step. To. Me.
