Hey Dany...

We all know how much you like Drew but do you like him enough to actually find a copy of one of the game he worked on 8 years ago to play it?

Cause that's my TV right now...

Spoiler

I actually worked on that game too and managed to find a copy in storage at work last week lol

 

[Jimmyfenix]

People forget but tricky used to be a gaf mod

Yes, I like King Penguin

The fast food acid trip level in that game aint bad

I'm biased since this is the first game I worked on when I started in the industry but I remember it being not bad at all actually.

Also the first level is called "Morning Woods"...heh

I can't make heads or tails of what any of it is about.

Side note: reading forum posts that are >10 years old seriously feels like watching television from the 50s or something. Like, wait, people unironically talked like that?

We had several members who were drama stirrers supreme back then. The forum was much smaller, so it could survive this lol.

Also note: everyone was more familiar with everyone else back then.

Darkest of Days Quick Look is still pretty great you guys.

For something recorded in the first year of the site it feels a lot like a modern Quick Look but has that Sausalito basement office attitude.

Yeah, I forget how insanely big GAF has grown over the years.

Oh man, dat classic GAF. Not sure I read that topic, but so many long gone posters in there.

Thank god that's over.

Never heard of Skygunner before.

I'm glad that's not a thing anymore, I got enough of that when I was active on Something Awful.

I saw them when I was waiting for my account to get approved. Once I joined, they were long gone.

Imagine that with Chrome how its been for a while

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Oh yeah? Very cool. I didn't listen to the Q&A panel cause every single live QA panel I ever heard was horrible. I'm so glad they don't take phonecalls anymore.
I hope by "old games" they include PS1/PS2 era games.

Also after MGS is over, they need tochange it up and let Dan play through some jRPG.

Dan and Drew need to play the Yakuza games. The Yakuza games have everything you could want:

Weirdness
Story filled with twists, betrayal, intrigue, romance, revenge, and humour
Badass cool guys with hearts of gold
Wrestling moves
Fast-paced combat with dodging, combos, and counters
Tons of weapons
RPG elements
Tons of awesome minigames
waifus
waifu management sims
Japanese culture
UFO catchers
Punching tigers in the face
Cool guys singing karaoke
Zombies
Guns for the filthy casuals
Majima
Taxi driving
One liners

Why are they not playing them? WHY?

Yakuza 4 is free on PS+ they can start now!

Yakuza 2 is the only one where you punch tigers, so it's the best one.

They can still be animated if you try hard enough >_>

Snip.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Someone DID SOME NASTY SHIT...guess I'll send Rorie a PM on the site about that

Thank you for alerting all the non-premium posters and lurkers about that.

You're right, my bad. Removed my post.

[Piston Hyundai]

would be dope if it was someone from Joystiq

 

[Chuck]

its not cara

 

[SteveWinwood]

its jeff green

 

[Myggen]

Hasn't it been like that for some time now?

 

[Basileus777]

That doesn't mean they've actually decided who to hire.

 

[TraBuch]

The job description says nothing about being on camera. Will this new hire not also be an on-camera personality?

 

[BUNTING1243]

I really hope that closed after the Joystiq layoffs. Lot of talent on the market now

The job description says nothing about being on camera. Will this new hire not also be an on-camera personality?

Reports will be conveyed by text, via audio podcast, and on video, so experience in all of these areas is a must.

Additional editorial work, such as appearances in Quick Looks and writing reviews, would also be a part of this role.

On-camera and/or video programming experience
Podcast or other audio programming experience
Established track record of presenting video, news, and features content on video games
Experience with video production/distribution

Seems like it'll be a minor part at least. Sorta like how Patrick's role originally was.

 

[SteveWinwood]

guys I bet it was just set to close automatically at 60 days

 

[BreezyLimbo]

No obviously they hired someone. I'm gonna say it was.........Bill Gates. That's right, they got motherfucking Bill Gates on the team. With him and Gerstmann, they will make new exclusive content coined as 'The G-Spot', where they play the raddest MS-DOS games, Bill Gates jumps over chairs, and Jeff Gerstmann does his dance. It will be the hottest premium yet.
