Comparing Berserk to Zelda? Yer off yer rocker.

Has that actually been confirmed by an official source? I thought that was just fan speculation.
Also, Dark Souls is Berserk. Zelda is too nice and wholesome to warrant comparison.
Also also, being reminded of Berserk and how awesome it used to be hurts a little bit.
Used to be?

I've never Zelda played mate.
It's just that the email talking about that undead knight theory in the emails is eerily similar of the relation between guts and the skull knight. 2 souls cursed into an eternal cycle of fighting the people who cursed them.Technically Berserk is alive. But would you really call something in a coma alive?
There's still hope!

And maybe the Last Guardian will come out, ASOIAF will be completed, and Hunter X Hunter will never go on hiatus again.
It's sad that the Last Guardian coming out is the most likely one of those.

I don't think that's Phil unless Phil looks 100% different than the last picture I saw of him
I believe that is Jeff Cork of Game Informer http://www.gameinformer.com/cfs-fil...028.Jeff-Interview-Picture.PNG_2D00_400x0.png

Its a shame there hasn't been a really good anime version done of berserk. The mid-late 90s series was pretty decent for what it was but damn if the budget wasn't small and they made it extra grim dark.
Hopefully, with Jojo FINALLY getting the series it deserves they'll get around to doing berserk right this time. I mean, there's only so much loli-pervy-harem anime that can be in production at once, right
also, if Dan can do it on an HDTV then i have 0 excuses, gonna beat Tyson/Mr Sandman? or whatever the final boss is in Punchout on the Wii U.
Wait, what's the legality of downloading Mike Tyson's Punchout if i own the post-tyson punchout? Maybe i'll do it OG style.

Ah, that must have been the era of (S)MT that spawned the Tokyo Revelation anime, where they used lesbian orgies to summon demons from the internet. Such a wonderful introduction to the franchise!

For GDC? No, that's normally on the last day of GDC (the only time during GDC that people can come over to a late night panel like that), and that overlaps with PAX East this year.
All the devs who are going from GDC to PAX East will probably travel on Thursday, like Samantha is doing. So a lot of indies probably wouldn't be available for a GDC show this year.

It's a shame they aren't doing anything for GDC given it's actually interesting and not just a bunch of awkward garbage.
Yeah it's annoying if we miss the interesting GDC podcast(s) just because of PAX.

well we got Samantha on UPF so it's not like we haven't benefited from GDC in some sort of way.

I'd definitely rather have the afterhours GDC chats than them all going to PAX.
Three. One too many imo, but it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone that they're going to the two main ones (East and Prime). It's South that's the extra PAX, which to be fair didn't cause a "PAX drought" this year.
They obviously like PAX more than GDC, and are willing to sacrifice the GDC after hour stuff for PAX when they overlap like they do this year.
From what Jeff has said, it doesn't really seem like people have time to be on stuff like that during GDC except for the day it ends (Friday) and maybe the day before. So I doubt it. GDC is infamous for being an extremely busy week for devs.

Yeah, kind of a bummer. GDC is usually some of my favorite stuff from the year.
It'd be cool if they could do something with the podcast or something. Record like 3 different long segments with different guests or something.
Personal opinion: For classic style Persona, play the Persona 2 series instead. Yes, you lose the grid-based combat and two-weapon style, but I think the negotiation system (make contracts!), story and music is better in the P2 games.
Then again, that may be because I'm the only person on Earth who fucking DETESTS the battle music in the P1 remake, and vastly prefers the original battle music. Seriously, I can't play the game, that's how much I hate it.
I'm going to also take a guess that even if GB did skip PAX, a lot of the people they'd want to talk to wouldn't be skipping it, so the quality of the content wouldn't be the same as in previous years. Frankly, it was just super poor planning on either GDC or PAX's part. Personally, I suspect it was PAX.
Honestly, the whole scheduling of PAX East this year is terrible. It's way too early in the year (earliest it's ever been) and on the weekend of daylight savings. Given that they're one of the few shows that can occupy the entirety of the BCEC, and thus likely has some negotiation leverage, I'm really curious to know how they ended up picking this weekend.

Yeah, I can understand that. Damn Pax.
Yeah, as I said, a lot of indies are probably doing both this year. They can't afford not to. Samantha mentioned that she's going to PAX on Thursday to set up her booth, for example. And yeah, with how many devs who need to go to both conferences, it's disastrous planning to have them overlap like this. I'm betting it'll never happen again with the amount of angry feedback both will get from devs.
Tell us how you really feel

He is, confirmed it on Tumblr a while ago. Just an error that he's missing from the panel description.
Ryan probably would have called him a weirdo any chance he got.
man, I can only imagine Ryan's reactions to Dan's stories.
Zelda 1 and Berzerk are both top-down games where you move from screen to screen dispatching enemies - it checks out.
I know you're talking about anime

I see Myggen's avatar is back to normal. I hope you learned your lesson. Never bet against Brad.
Yeah they were.
Ryan also said Saints Row 3 was like something that would happen in Dan Ryckert's mind or something like that on one of the bombcasts.
