My memory of the time was that there were rumors circulating about the PS4 doing similar shit well before the Xbox One reveal - like, a year before the Xbox One reveal (or PS4 reveal for that matter). It wasn't exactly an unpopular or unsubstantiated thought at the time.

My memory of that time is Patrick saying "Sony is 100% going to do the same thing, they're going to announce it, like, in an hour" and "Sony didn't build the architecture for shit DRM into the PS4, and therefore can't do the same thing ever" at the same time and failing to see the contradiction.

 

[Dany]

Morgana sucks shits.

Stop telling me to go to bed!!

 

[Strax]

Oh I'm sorry, I thought this was the Giant Bomb thread. I'll just be on my w...wait just a cotton-picking minute.

 

[oti]

On actual giantbomb things, listening to the bombcasts when the Xbone was first revealed it's kinda funny how much giantbomb was trying to justify it by going "yeah the PS4 is totally going to do that too, can't help it that's how the industry is heading towards"

Oh boy.

Or that they didn't realise it was DOA outside the US.

GB is pretty bad when it comes to the business side of things. I wish people would realise that and don't take everything they say for granted. Newest example is the 3DS. Jeff saying Nintendo should abandon the 3DS ASAP makes no business sense at all.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Eh i kinda wish they would.

I don't want to carry around a 3ds ever again.

Can't stop thinking about persona 5. Send help

Even the incredible nier ost is only managing temporary reprieves

 

[darkwing-buck]

A true classic.

Same, tonight was the first chance I got to put some real time in and all of a sudden it's nearly 5am. Oops.

 

[Zaph]

scrolling through a hundred posts about a game GB ain't even playing

but y'all are quick to bitch about back seat modding. so enjoy

 

[Antiwhippy]

I mean i can talk about how brad sucks at everything if we want to go back to a proper giantbomb thread topic.

Maybe also how vinny is lazy and should do more stuff.

That's the type of stuff we all love talking about.

What are the best F&40s setups? Have the podcast in the ears while having the movie in the background silent? I have open headphones so that I could hear a little bit of movie sound from the TV but I am not sure if it's loud enough.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I just use open headphones with speakers on the podcast. Muting the movie is a bad idea considering that they riff on the dialogue constantly.

 

[Sakwoff]

Oh I know, I don't exactly blame (blame is a weird word for this) giantbomb for getting it wrong, it's just funny how adamant they were.

Eh, I mean...

I'm preeeetty sure that some kind of scheme like that must have been in the books for Sony as well, and that it was mostly everything exploding around MS giving them the opportunity to position themselves the way they have.

That was pretty smart of them, definitely. But it's not like Sony really generally gives a shit about being "consumer friendly" or anything. They were just cautious enough to quickly adapt to the way the wind was blowing.

But yeah. Hindsight does make that pretty funny.

this is the gb community thread where i want talk about stuff with the gb gaf community. whether or not giant bomb themselves are into those topics is kinda besides the point

 

[Jintor]

whippy your new avatar is dope

There is a persona thread you could go to, tho.

You dont see me talking about warhammer miniatures here. If I have to message a mod for clarification I will, but if there are people who dont want to sift through 100 posts of Persona in order to talk about GB, then its fair to take that conversation to its proper thread.

I get Persona is a hot game, but really this is the GB thread. Theyre not playing the game nor doing an ER. If even one person is annoyed at the p5 talk, then its fair to give that talk a rest or move it to its proper thread.

 

[Jintor]

i'm not going to push the point, but conversation is as conversation is. if nobody in gb-gaf shows interest in p5 talk then it will die, and if people from gb-gaf are interested in p5 talk than it will live.

*shrug*

We are the libertarians of community threads.

As a poster of the old ultra-crazy SBF thread that got many communities killed and itself rebooted, I would like to say,

Maybe don't do that.

If you can do basic video editing, I found the best way was to rip the blurays and add the podcast as an additional audio track. Easier to ensure there are no sync issues and you can mix/adjust audio levels to your own preference. It's a little bit of work but worth the effort imo.

 

[funkystudent]

I got next to zero sleep.

I think I will finally break into Persona after work though.


I will be too damn tired for Horizon. Turn based action and acid jazz seems like what I need.

I actually thought of that but I have no bluray drive for my PC, haha.
But that would probably be the best method. I will ask around friends if they hav one. Not really stressed with this, seems like I can enjoy it whenever.

Tbf didn't they get busted for sharing anime porn?

I don't know about best, but I had the movies with subtitles on the TV (at a fairly low volume) and podcast playing through my laptop's speakers. Worked well enough for me.

 

[kiguel182]

Persona 5 talk as taking over the thread. It's honestly alianating.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I mean feel free to bring up any Giantbomb related thing you want to talk about. I did. *shrug*

Though i could probably start a new topic reminiscing old Bombcasts constantly because that's all i listen to at work. It's kinda psychotic.

You should post brief recaps here of what noteworthy things have been said. I always find that stuff fun and interesting.

 

[Wunder]

Wheres Yakuza

GB are on strike until this thread starts to behave.

srsly tho

 

[Strax]

Film & 40s should watch Total Divas.

 

[kiguel182]

I wonder if they go ahead and do this is the run of Vinny trying to bear Dan at Soul Calibur. Seemed like it could be a fun format.

 

[Meneses]

They killed Yakuza.

 

[Jintor]

I enjoy Yakuza but the fact I actually have to pay attention to it because of subtitles really brings down its watchability

the slow realisation I consume almost 80% of GB content while doing something else entirely...

 

[Wunder]

I need my fix maaaaan

 

[derFeef]

Film & 40s should watch Total Divas.

I would say the resident evil movies

haaaaarrrrr.

 

[kiguel182]

I would say the resident evil movies

haaaaarrrrr.

But then we have to watch them too!

 

[derFeef]

But then we have to watch them too!

I ordered all of them (except the "current" one) months ago and did not watch a single one yet. So that would be a good excute, hehe.

 

[Meneses]

Please help, I played around 30 hours of persona from friday to sunday, can't stop.

Regarding game talk in the thread, I see valid arguments from both sides.

Talking about current games with other GB community members has always been a staple of this thread and it's part of what makes it fun, but on the other hand, if we have dozens of posts including multiple spoiler-tagged ones, then maybe it's time to take it to the respective thread.

Not everyone likes / feels like reading about whatever game is being discussed and they shouldn't really have to do it in a mostly unrelated thread.

If it's something related to ongoing GB content then I think there could be more leeway, but otherwise I think a bit of restraint is welcome - which doesn't mean people shouldn't talk about games in general (I like doing that myself), obviously.

 

[funkystudent]

If Film and 40's goes away for a while but GBeast brings back Wednesday streams I would totally be OK with that.

I mean, I watch it while playing Granblue (which is like 80% waiting for your party to go through their skill queue) or while eating, but yeah I can't play a game with it in the background or anything like that.

 

[Tubobutts]

If you were smart you would send Vinny Warhammer miniatures and then no one could stop anyone from talking about them.

 

[Jintor]

i guess i could compromise and draw the line at black bar censorship central.

ain't nobody got time for that

 

[Zaph]

the slow realisation I consume almost 80% of GB content while doing something else entirely...

I mean, if we're completely honest - Giant Bomb #29 | Premium Second Screen Entertainment

 

[Meguro]

Ha, I do the exact same thing.
I have Beast in the East on 1 monitor and Granblue/chats and stuff on another.
Works well.

 

[Deleted member 30609]

isn't there supposed to be a new BITE?

 

[Wunder]

where is yakuzaaaaa

 

[Jintor]

Yakuza normally hits at 10pm my time, or i guess 9pm with daylight savings, so in another half hour right

 

[demidar]

Sounds like another feature...

BITEs the dust.

It said 12:00 for me (which was 36 minutes ago), and it disappeared from the upcoming list.
