[wild_fire987]

WHAT! Well, thanks for the spoiler geez! And you people complain about Peter Brown spoiling the tiny unimportant little thing about Nier, pfff



Oh yeah! I remember that now!
Man, what the hell happened? I honestly don't get it, Telltale's games still seem popular, it's not like everybody moved on. I don't think there's even an OT on Gaf for Season 3. I feel like everybody was constantly talking about TWD when it came out. Man.

I always enjoyed zombies as a kid growing up and for me personally the fad peaked around 2003-2006. After that I haven't really liked or payed attention to anything zombie related. TWD game and first season of TV show were a bit after that, but I think even at that time zombies were overplayed in media.

 

[Meneses]

I always hated TWD.

 

[oti]

Oh wait, we're talking about the games? Season 1 was cool. Never cared about anything after that.

I really enjoyed season 1, but I wonder if it holds up (even just 5 years later) It was really the first Tell Tale game that they nailed in their current style and it was pretty different from most things on the market at the time. But after 5 years of them doing that copy/paste and other games doing it also, I'm just curious to see if it is still good.

the show sucks

 

[LurkerPrime]

I liked TWD S1 and S2, just waiting for S3 to wrap up. The releases have happened a lot faster than usual this time around, I think?

Hopefully it hits half off at the same time.

 

[StudsMcKewl]

I really loved Telltale's Walking Dead season 1, and I still say it was the best game that came out that year. The only other Telltale series I've been able to finish is the Wolf Among Us. Everything else I'll either stop halfway through or I don't even feel like starting.

 

[soundscream]

I like the shirt design... But as a fellow pastey white dude... I don't know about the color

Question, does Dan know hes doing it wrong or does be think its smell no evil?

 

[Tubobutts]

Dan would spontaneously combust if he was told to "speak no evil"

 

[strafer]

Can't wait for the guys doing E3 reactions this year.

Poll: Weed or vape?

 

[Mupod]

I got blindsided by the Nier Automata spoilers weeks ago (it's hard/impossible for me to mute or skip while driving) so I'm not letting that happen again. Timestamps seem to be wrong though, 30 minutes in and no Nier talk yet. Maybe they meant for the non-ad version.

I got Ending A in Nier before Persona 5 came out, but it'll be a while until I can resume. I've got at least 20 hours of P5 left based on the rate my friend played through it.

 

[Tubobutts]

What you use for smoke weed bro?

 

[Xater]

Gonna smoke some Die Hard Arcade listening to this Beastcast

Smoking Die Hard: Arcade does not seem advisable.

 

[wenis]

Smoke Did Hard: Arcade everyday

 

[The Technomancer]

Oh fuck is there Nier discussion? I'm only partway through playthrough A and won't have much time to play this weekend

 

[Antiwhippy]

They don't go into detail about anything major, but allude enough that if you really don't want to spoil yourself heed the timestamps.

 

[jiggles]

The current This Is The Run series is really bumming me out.

I want to play Soulcalibur so much.

 

[Jintor]

yeah they talk around it fairly well but i think if you're already playing you don't need to be sold.

Are the stamps in the podcast proper? Didn't see them on the last page

 

[Antiwhippy]

31:00 to 45:00 as posted on the podcast page and it seems to be right because I skipped right to it haha.

I have like, an insatiable need to consume all things nier for like a week now.

 

[Justin]

Only about 20 minutes in but I am really enjoying Austin back on the Beastcast. He is so much better when he isn't hosting the morning zoo of gaming podcasts.

 

[The Technomancer]

Fuuuck I'm at my parents place on the laptop...I wonder how well it will run Nier...or how well I can play with MKB

This beastcast crew is so good <3

he should have a talk with Idle Thumbs

 

[dan2026]

I wonder if Alex is playing Persona 5 with English or Japanese voices.
As he's talking about localisation issues, I assume he's playing in English.

 

[Xater]

I kinda need this Mario lore crossover to happen.

Even if he was playing with Japanese voices, text would still have obvious issues.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Also the english dub is good.

Some weird phrasing doesn't really make the dub inferior.

Definitely not the best dub this year though, because there's one that's mind-blowing in how good it is.

The dub itself is fine, except for some questionable pronunciations.

No I would say the English dub is defiantly inferior.
It's not bad (apart from some awful pronunciation) but it can't really compete with the all star cast of the original.
They clearly spent some serious cash getting those guys.

 

[Death Metalist]

Awww yisssss AUSTINcast. Listening now.

https://store.giantbomb.com/products/the-giant-beastcast-100-t-shirt?variant=34553308168

Fucking bought.

I'm not sure how I stumbled into it, but I rewatched GB's 2016 goty Rock Band video, and man, Brad really has the voice of an angel: https://youtu.be/ItzWRMvHDB4?t=27m24s

I'm guessing you haven't seen this then.

Halfway done.

(even if you don't care, some of you should appreciate #51)

Good shit.

Oh wait, we're talking about the games? Season 1 was cool. Never cared about anything after that.

Same here. Adored season 1 and just didn't care for the rest of Telltale's TWD, it ended just about perfect. The holy trinity of Telltale -TWD Season 1, The Wolf Among US & Tales from the Borderlands.

But I don't know japanese, so I really would not be able to tell anyway.

And I used to be a hardcore Sub guy, believe you me. I still prefer them, but if the english dub is good I'll take it because I actually get more meaning from the inflections of a native english speaker more than a language I don't really know.

 

[demidar]

Understand the inflections of poor pronunciation.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Eh whatever. It's like one name of the worst character in the game anyway,

I'm so used to having my name mispronounced anyway that I don't usually bat an eyelid to stuff like that lol.

 

[Jintor]

don't get me wrong, i love tomokazu sugita, but i only understand 40% of what he's saying if that so i'll take matt mercer over him y'know

 

[PushTheButtonMax]

Damn, the small size is already sold out. Do they usually restock on shirts?

 

[repeater]

Oh man, Austin on the Beastcast! Reuniting the family! Will he teach Dan some more science?

 

[Ashby]

I want to play Persona 5 so bad and I really don't have any compulsion to play Nier but I feel like I have to

 

[Antiwhippy]

Eh just play what you want to. I feel like playing games because you feel obligated by the zeitgeist instead of being intrigued by it is the easiest way to dislike gaming.

 

[Tubobutts]

Never be obligated to a zeitgeist

 

[Ashby]

I am totally that guy re: zeitgeist. Like I actually get stressed about it. Maybe this is why I never finish any games &#129300;

 

[Antiwhippy]

Obligated to a zeitgeist is my new rammstein tribute album.

Please check it out.

Well now I feel obligated to.

 

[Wunder]

holy shit end of the beastcast

Spoiler

In the quest for #content, we've broken vinny

edit: also I was totally into the whole zeitgeist game of the week/month thing until I realized I have no friends to talk about it with

 

[TumblingHippo]

This new boom of board gaming is also suffering from this. Instead of only playing 5 hours of A 50 hour rpg it's people only getting a game to their table twice before the next hottest thing comes out.

You should play Nier because it's actually good

nier is one of the best games ive ever played

 

[Moaradin]

I would play Persona 5 first. I can't stop thinking about Nier and it kinda sucks when I'm also trying to play Persona 5. I beat Nier weeks ago and I can't get it out of my head. I wish I could play P5 without constantly listening to the Nier OST or going down the rabbit hole every time I recognize a voice actor that's in both games.
