They did it last year.

The press conference livestreams have been a huge success. I definitely expect them to do them for gamescom.

They should totally stream and watch the conference. I love it.
Only for Sony though, right? I thought the word was that MS and Nintendo won't have much interesting stuff there (does MS even show up for Gamescom in a big way?).
Does it really make that much of a difference? I don't think so. I think they'll do it again this year.
I mean the more live streams the better for us. I am just saying that there was probably more excitement about announcements last year when there were so many missing PS4 details.
I just get a year whenever they have that 15 dollar discount
Yup. I'm paid well into 2016 at this point...

I think MS is doing one this year?

IIRC only Sony's is at a reasonable time. The Nintendo and MS conferences are in the early morning for west coasters.

I'd love to watch Drew and Dan finish Plainview Drive. I need to know what happens.
Cool thanks.
Also I actually do agree with Dan. DKCR is one of the finest 2D platformers ever made.

Did part two of how to build a beast ever come out?
Nope.

Okay thanks, I was really looking forward to it.
The shaking is so bad.
I played it more today and I still think that the mine cart mechanics in the DKC series is the greatest platform mechanic ever. I love it.
I agree the shake to roll was a terrible scheme to use, but once I got used to it, only a minor amount of deaths were due to it, and it only mattered on tight corners. For large stretches of platform, it worked fine. I'm presuming the 3DS version is better with the button to shake. I agree with the mine cart mechanics, it feels exhilarating once you get on one. I still have to get TF, which looks and sounds incredible.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Biggest problem with DKCR are the gimmicky motion controls that completly ruin the flow. That and stopping to blow at flowers to collect stuff. Never ever make me stop in a JnR without something interesting to do. Still anl amazing game though. I did love DKC 1-3 though, now I'm a bit afraid to play them again
DKC games fully hold up. Especially 2. Best combination of characters, best level design, best music. People who hate DKC2 are bad people and I hate them.

Has anyone been able to find s-rank runthroughs of Cookie and Cream? That game looks fantastic.
DKCR is one of my favorite platformers of recent years but yeah, the motion controls are garbage. I still have yet to play Tropical Freeze and I have no idea why. I like the SNES DKC games but never went crazy for them or anything. They were fun enough but they're one series of classics I never got the urge to replay in later years.
I think we need to get to the bottom of this. There has to be some tournament site out there or something which specifies the way you have to throw.
You have an inside line on the official rules?

Tournament
This is the only grip allowed in official POG competitions in America. It is similar to the flat slam but the slammer rests on only two fingers and you are not allowed to use your thumb to support it. It's well worth trying. For everyday games, though, stick to the slap shot grip, which is more pwerful, more accurate and easier to perform.

I've lived the POG life my friend. I know them well.
I think this would qualify as an everyday game, so Jeff's shot was indeed legal. I think Dan's grip was also illegal according to this rule.
The only thing that would have made it illegal would be if his hand was still on the slammer when it hit the stack. There's no way to tell that from the video angle, though.

I came to this thread to link to this website. Dammit BearPawB! #whackthestack
Can we trust this site? I kinda hope there is a scan of the POG Federation rules out there.
But it has to be official tournament rules for one of them to be the current best pog player in america (surely no one else has played pogs in this country since friday)!
