And hell, get a 2017 Samsung TV, you can stream at 4k.
Beastcast is a GB's version of MBMBAM, it's not a video games podcast.
I have no idea what that even stands for. But games or not, they could have had some more #content instead of 17 minutes of postcards since Bakalar isn't even there.

I think today's the day.
So we still get some of that sweet, sweet Bakalar goodness today!

This week was 3 hours long. That's more than enough for me.
There's no 8-4 this week and I'm the office for 8 hours!

Time to find out what MBMBAM stands for.
With an Xbox X you'd also get 4K Netflix and such, I assume. After getting my 4K TV I bought an Xbox S. Horizon 3 sure looks good. My Amazon Fire TV 4K box gets the most use though. Netflix and Youtube in 4K are not the real deal, but it's still pretty cool.
I should get Planet Earth on UHD BR. 🤔
I googled it and ohhhh, I know that one of course. Just seeing it acronym-ed like that threw me for some reason.

God I hate it when I have to be the office.
To be clear, I stopped listening to avoid spoilers for stuff in the midteens and only start listening again in the past month or so.
So what I've missed is like 90% of the episodes.

How much? If not much the TCL P607 is dope, if much the LG OLED is doper.
Like $500-$1000
is the LG OLED the one that Jeff and Dan have?

I would subscribe to such a podcast.

This Hearthstone discussion is why I don't talk about Magic to people who don't play Magic
Yeah, they both have the LG B6 and that is one dope ass tv. I've got it and it's a beautiful set. Expensive, but not too expensive for one of the best TVs on the market. Technically it only cost me $100 more than the first 1080p set I bought over a decade ago.
For movies and TV shows I really don't care. But Planet Earth? Give me the best picture you got.

I love GBeast's version of Reggie.
I have the P607 and its great. Seems tailor made for games and has the best built in roku so its a really good value. Its no OLED of course but I think OLED prices are going to drop in the next few years
Prey is currently worth $14.30 and Overwatch is worth $22 to Pro members who trade them in at GameStop. But that's without any bonuses for multiple trade ins. Right now trading two games in gets you 20% extra, and using them on Uncharted TLL is a 30% bonus.
So that works out to about $57.

Amazon has it for $1825
I assume if you wait a few months you should be able to find them for much cheaper. The new model (C7) is just shy of $2200.
Edit: If you have a Microcenter in the area, you can get one for $1600
Amazon has the P607 for $650. Think I'm gonna go with that if it's the consensus choice. As I said, going from 720p to 4K will be impressive enough I imagine that it won't be necessary to shell out an extra ~$1,000
EDIT: Damn, Best Buy has it for $599. Is that a good price?

It could be my feverish haze but I've mistaken Pat for Jeff Bakalar at least twice during this podcast

So Pat works in, uh, comedy, right?
Chase your dreams, folks.
Edit: this was super shitty and there's no defending it. Leaving it up as a reminder to myself.

P607 is your choice then, no doubt about it.

I don't really know from Hearthstone but expecting anything more than surface-level discussion when it comes to any game's meta from giant bomb, unless it's dota or starcraft 2, it a fool's errand.

He's a technical director at the UCB. Not sure what what causes people to make comments like this.
They still haven't started the PUBG tournament due to technical difficulties. This game has still a way to go, hasn't it.
OK, erotic grandpa.
I just realised I completely forgot to listen to last week's Beastcast again.

I could see that, but what ends up breaking the illusion for me is that Pat Baer doesn't have the high-falutin', high class aura that is integral to Jeff's persona.

Yeah. There is B6, E6, C6 & G6(they own a B6). The difference between all 4 is that E6 and G6 both have soundbars(G6 is 5.1 as opposed to 2.0 in E6 if I'm not mistaken) and 3D(both are not curved). C6 has 3D and is curved with no soundbar and the B6 has no 3D, no soundbar and it isn't curved. I got the E6 mainly because I wanted 3D since I enjoy watching movies in 3D(assuming they're done RIGHT). They all support HDR10 & Dolby Vision as well.
Got mine right around Black Friday/Christmas? at a discounted price. it's a stunning TV, certainly the best I've ever seen and I'm coming from a Panasonic VT50(still have it hooked up back home) which is another beautiful set.
Great. The only thing giving me pause is that it's a 55-inch. My current tv is a 32-inch and because of the way the room is set up that I play games in I sit pretty damn close to my tv. Doesn't higher resolutions only become noticeable when you're x-amount of distance from the tv set?
