Holy shit I'm only 20 minutes into Beast East this week and this hostess daddy quest is already hilarious. The guys reactions when they knew he was going to ask her to call him daddy haha

If you would have said a Steam Early Access battle royale Arma-ass game would be the Giant Bomb GOAT content of 2017 I would have called you a liar.

He had a shotgun and both of them were sticking their bodies out the window.
Amazing. 1 shot 1 kill so far for the duders in two matches. Savages.

It help.
Yes you are they're also handy for telling where footsteps are coming from.

PUBG is the first game I considered grabbing my headphones for. I have solid surround sound speakers and get a vague sense if it's to the left or right of me. but if I heard a loud noise like a door, I have to turn up my volume to hear footsteps.

I dunno, is it a game to take that seriously?

Yes

Even if you play it casually you'll want to know where you are shot from or if there's someone else nearby. It's often the only hint you get. There are no visual cues aside from muzzle flash and that can easily be supressed with atachments.
Getting picked off without knowing how or that there was someon else there gets old quickly. At the very least, it helps with finding cover.
I will never finish even in the top 10 in PUBG because I tend to get bored and then see if I can play like Doom by shotgunning people and then trying to follow up with a punch.
It worked once, but I think they were AFK.
If I am told there's an area where there's a 0.1% chance of getting bombed and everything else is 0%, I'd always walk in the 0%.

I think the reason why PUBG is fun is that you feel the equipment-tension like in Day Z (Oh shit, I got so much good stuff right now! I can't die, I don't want to loose it all!) but even if you die it's not like in Day Z where you literally lost hours and hours of progress.
So it kinda captures the tension without the frustration.
No, but I think if you play it you won't get as much out of it without headphones. Hearing where shots are coming from is pretty important in the game.

I played with speakers for a while and then put my headphones on and the difference is pretty noticeable in being able to tell where noise is coming from or what is causing it. I also recently got even nicer headphones and it's that much better.
I'm still terrible at this game.

Mmm alright, fair enough. I dunno, the fact that it's not super high stakes is one of the appealing things to me.

I was thinking about that. Matches are long enough to get you invested, but not too long that it's frustrating or boring.
Stumbled upon this great video of Dan being Dan while playing LoL.

That's still true. You don't have to take the game seriously to have fun.
Positional sound is just an important mechanic. Feels a bit like playing a rythm game without music without it.

All these pistol callouts they were doing were killing me.
Vinny watching everyone get murdered through invisible walls was so tragic and hilarious! Murder Island is definitely a hit, I'd like them to be a bit more aggressive though, every single match was them running away until the circle was too small for them to hide. 10 matches in a stream where they die in the first 10 minutes is better than 4 matches where they skulk around for 30 minutes.

Guys famitsu has screens of Dynasty Warriors 9
I hope GB talks about it
where does Ben stand on Dynasty Warriors
I hope he likes it

Now he's got someone to do the streams for him, he's not doing anything for himself. He's going to hire someone to shave him.

I just turned on the archive and it's hilarious that anyone who's played this game for more than 10 minutes is calling out pistols, let alone combat pants. I guess it's only Vinny, though. I don't think he's played much.

That's why you simply download them or use VLC

I use that Giantbomb Win10/Xbox app for consuming GB content, it's awesome - syncs with the website too.

Murder island had good moments but man.
There's sooooooooo much downtime where it is just the duders spending a long time searching for equipment. And then they mostly die without really fighting anyway.
Might be better live but kinda hard to watch on demand.

Alex and Brad were doing it as well. They should also stop searching the same building as each other. Go to a place where you can each have your own building to search.

Vinny not acknowledging at all that he shot Jeff while FRIENDLY FIRE is displaying on his screen in huge red letters is pretty good.
I can't tell if Vinny is being supremely cowardly or supremely oblivious throughout all of this. It's hilarious either way.
Dan: Ahh! Someone's killing me! Help! I ran into the house!
Vinny: Where? *stares at at a wall*
Dan: I'm on the second floor of a house.
Vinny: Of this house? *stares at the wall for a few more seconds, crouch walks upstairs*
Brad: I'm dying! Someone punched me to death.
Vinny: *still crouchwalking upstairs* Dan, are you still up?
Dan: Yeah.
Vinny: *looks directly at Brad's gamertag with a skull and crossbones under it* Brad, someone killed you? Dan, I don't think we're in the same building...
A quick glance at the #squad names floating all over his screen would have told him where they were at any time, if actually wanted to help them.

Despite everything I still read that as Baldur's Gate.
well now i just look like an idiot
You need to lean out of the car before shooting. Shooting inside the car is effectively shooting straight ahead, thus Vinny killed Jeff through the front seat.
