Man, every time they play Windjammers the desire for a faithful port is sooooooo strong. I've rarely wanted to play a game so much.

From Reddit:

First of all, English is not my first language and since this became longer than i expected i wanted to apologize if some of this reads a bit awkwardly. Anyways...

On the first episode of Danswers Dan described what it was like to have an anxiety attack. For the past ten years of my life I've been going through these without knowing what they were. I've always had other health problems so i figured it was something related to that. So when Dan explained what actually happens during an anxiety attack it
really hit me hard (Also it made me feel kinda dumb for not knowing it beforehand).

Now I've met with my doctor who agreed that what i go through are in fact anxiety attacks and i am currently working on how to prevent them. Sooner or later i would have probably figured this out on my own but i have no idea when that time would actually had come if it wasn't for Danswers.

I have no idea if anyone thought this was even mildly interesting to read but i just wanted to share how Dan Ryckert made me realize something about myself. That's something i never thought i'd say! Now to make up for this wall of text, here's one of my favorite (recent) Giant Bomb moments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcxeac9CmCU [1]

If you ever want to see Jeff get legitimately emotionally invested in a game, then watch the P4 ER all the way through. Jeff's coming around on the game is like meta character development.

Been listening to old Bombcasts lately and it's making me miss Ryan again I still enjoy Bombcasts these days but Ryan added a nice view point that's it a missed since.

Yes. Ryan was honestly a natural comedian and showman and was definitely the most straight-up and charismatic duder on the crew. I'll say it a million times, the industry did lose an important voice and he should be remembered constantly.

oh, i heard. i'm def gonna watch it all the way. curious how it's different than Golden anyway

 

[Xeteh]

Uhm, to be honest I don't know. Maybe I miss Vinny and Ryan too much.

I find the other side stuff more entertaining.

And they play way too much Windjammers, yeah we get it Jeff, you like it.

Are you from the past?

oh, i heard. i'm def gonna watch it all the way. curious how it's different than Golden anyway

Golden made some quality of life gameplay improvements which you'll see pretty quickly. Then a lot of those fanservice-y scenes throughout the game were also added for Golden. The base game is still pretty fantastic though.

Second place is Digital Combat Simulator: A-10C Warthog - Gameplay. Fifth is Postal 3 wtf.

It still is. I wonder how many copies it has sold across all platforms now, must be an insane number.

I'm surprised they haven't done a remaster already.

Don't give them any ideas.

As of last January it passed 20 million on all platforms.

I can see why Bethesda softworks is taking their sweet ass time with Fallout now.

Doesn't Gamespot still do a weekly feature on Skyrim mods?

Weird. I was going to make the same observation. I was watching GB videos on my PS3 so I saw their videos sorted by popularity for the first time. That's the only video on Youtube that they have with more than 1 million views.

They do.

 

[GolazoDan]

They do.

How many Randy Savage dragons can you make?!

Is it filled with nude mods? Has Clean Faces gotten a spotlight yet?

 

[Myggen]

There's popular Youtube channels more or less dedicated to those kind of Skyrim mods. The internet is weird.

 

[jaina]

oh good. i don't mind the beginning too much. but the later scenes are too good with the VO.

also, original Chie VO is weird. I don't like her as much as Golden Chie.

You will see a lot of differences between the two versions.

relevant video of Jeff's reaction to one of the differences

Brad, if you're reading this, you might not want to update the office's PS3 to system firmware 4.70 if you really want to do that final day thing. It removes PS Home from the XMB. I don't know if it's a required update. Also, I don't know if it just removes the previously unremovable built-in PS Home icon or if they ended the support early for the entire thing.

Oh, shit. I saw the thread about Home here on Gaf, but I didn't even think about how it would affect the GB stream. Hopefully they're aware.

Wouldn't be surprised if one day Sony logged in and saw what was going on and decided to immediately pull the plug.

You can still download Home from the PS Store, it's just not a fixed icon anymore.

Honestly that's expected, not weird.

yup you can still download it from the store

that is what i did

Awesome! I was expecting them to win as they are somewhat well known thanks to the documentary and all the media coverage.

Banning all ghost foods is just the kind of radical thinking Sony needs.

 

[LiK]

hah, i like that Vinny called out that Junes was their HQ before the game even mentioned it.

 

[EdReedFan20]

I assumed as much. Well, either way, Brad will have to download it now instead of using the old XMB icon.

 

[Incandenza]

No, it'll be to change all the PlayStation marketing to include the phrase "Game Respect Game"

 

[skLaFarebear]

Been listening to old Bombcasts lately and it's making me miss Ryan again I still enjoy Bombcasts these days but Ryan added a nice view point that's it a missed since.

I only got on the giant bomb train like last fall so I've been going through bombcasts in reverse chronological order (I miss Vinny so much), so it's gonna be interesting to get back to the days with Ryan to see how it's changed.

Watching this Trivial Pursuit Quick Look and I continue to be baffled by another example of them being unable to get 4 controllers.

The floor they work on contains TWO video game websites, I just don't get it.

I imagine controllers at a video game related outlet are like staplers at any old office.

Things that should be there by the handful, but are mysteriously scarce and valuable.

give him the biggest opportunity to put his foot in his mouth

They were able to get four controllers, Jason had them ready, Jeff just didn't want to restart the Quick Look or sync them up. It was on Dan's insistence that they start the QL with one controller and pass it before they realized it wasn't a good idea. This is all information that I gathered in this very same Quick Look.

I will fully admit to having the QL on in the background so not paying attention the entire time.

It's still very rarer than it should be for them to be prepared with 2 or more controllers when showing off games with local multiplayer/co-op though.

i do need to give him more credit than that

he does a good job in keeping his ignorant american act to mostly being at his own expense and i cant think of a time hes actually been straight up offensive to a different group of people
