I didn't want to be the first person to bring it it up but after Dan made such a big deal about his opinion on Cena/Reigns, only to not talk about it, disappointed me as well.

East should do classic Resident Evil. It's got the action and difficulty to keep them engaged and the voice acting to goof on.

Oh, so I finished Tacoma earlier.
It's not really emotionally affective like Gone Home or Firewatch etc. and nothing about the plot was hugely shocking, but I thought it was a cool little sci-fi story and the way they tell it is pretty interesting.
And they do a really good job of making the universe/timeline/whatever it's set in appealing to learn about even if it is largely a dystopia.

Actually, Xcom 2 is a great game. I was in the camp is being attacked 1st mission, and some absolute bullshit saved my ass. This is sort of on topic because of exquisite corps.
The only three soldiers I had that weren't rookies were 2 snipers and a grenadier. So I couldn't actually cover ground quickly. After creeping slowly to the aliens, I noticed that they've killed a fair amount of civilians. By the time I got to the last group, there were only 4 left and I only rescued 2 so far: the game wants you to save 6.
After lobbing all my grenades, I still ended up with a sectoid at 6 health and a zombie it made. Even after walking up to it and popping it in the face, it still had 2 health left. Well fuck, I thought.
All I had left was a rookie at 28% chance hit. Either the zombie or sectoid are going to kill a civilian, or I'm going to lose a soldier. I've basically accepted the mission being a wash, and had the rookie shoot at the sectoid. I get an achievement pop up called car wreck. So I'm like "what the hell what did I do". Turns out the rookie hit the car, making it blow up for 3 damage. The sectoid dies, and I get mission accomplished. With only the rookie having taken a hit.
Whew. What a game.

Has there ever really been a sci fi utopio that is appealing to learn about?
I mean for me there is Yokohoma Kaidashi Kikou but that's not really a utopia per se.

I mean, I wasn't kidding about Tacoma. I sincerely wanted to know at least a few more things about On3 V3in.
EDIT:
Oh, utopia specifically?
This season of Friends at the Table's specifically about one and it's been pretty cool so far, though I keep falling behind.
It'd be nice to see more Dan and Abby content in general. Between Abby having a production role, and East's general approach to content being less conducive to pair assignments, I can't remember a single time that it's just been the two of them. I want to see Dabby happen.

I'd like to see them try out Stranded Deep. It's another long-in-the-works early access game. It's essentially Cast Away: The Game. http://store.steampowered.com/app/313120/Stranded_Deep/
Dan and Drew did an Unfinished of it: https://www.giantbomb.com/videos/unfinished-stranded-deep-01-27-2015/2300-9881/
Maybe time for a revisit?

Oh, I didn't think you were; I just totally misread it at first, hah.
EDIT:
I was actually enjoying this panel a lot and then suddenly CoD talk forever. I'm already up later than i wanted to be so I guess I'll just listen to the Q&A bits tomorrow since those can be hard to listen to.
I know it's not technically feasible but I wish they'd let Abby talk about what she'd been playing this year (for some likely Splat 2 and NitW talk) too; the way things spiraled off to CoD to begin with was kinda weird (and also IIRC she plays them too, so it would have been more interesting to hear her take than Jeff and Dan's which are pretty established by now).

We don't want to work on Stranded Deep forever. If all goes well, we're hoping to have it completed by the end of 2015.
2016 UPDATE: The initial release of Stranded Deep was expected to be finished well before the end of 2015 - add a few more features and wrap it up. However, due to it's success the project expanded way beyond that initial scope and we decided to add more content and features than we had planned due to player feature requests

Is Giant Bomb Video Buddy still the best iOS app for video?
Well some are utopias until an outside force acts on them (humanity in Star Trek) or more often something internally happens to go very fucking wrong that reveals it was actually a dystopia the whole time (plenty of 0451 games), surprise! In other terms: some people would think these shitty ideas are utopian, but here's why they're shitty, and fuck them anyway. FWIW I appreciate that a lot of the dystopic tends to have the MC attempting to save a piece of humanity from the brink even if they're working for the bad side. Still a little bit of hope.

The audio that accompanies a premium renewal/subscription never fails to make me smile.

Yes. Alex was great last year. Let's see if Ben puts his big boy pants on and joins him.

I hope something pisses Alex off enough this year to get some of that Palmer Lucky hot fire 🔥 from last year.
Hottest mess; Nick Robinson?
Wow a Yoko Taro game has a legit chance to make top 5 in Giant Bomb's GOTY.
Shitty as that was, I don't think that will rank (and they probably don't want to include journo shit in there anyway). Wonder what will though?

i believe in you, jeff
Gah, they unlocked the first ep of Steal my Sunshine for non-premiums and I ran across it on YouTube. This is prime GB content right here. I knew in my heart that GB East was killing it but I wasn't pulling the trigger on re-subbing, but fuck if that didn't pull me in. Convenient timing with the premium sale as well!
Now I get to catch up on the other 7 episodes LETS GO.

I don't even know if that's the case anymore. Not that I really know much about his personal life, but he doesn't seem to really acknowledge nick publicly after that at least.
Get ready for geometry and acapella and a goodass time.
I got round to renewing my subscription yesterday to watch the new upcoming ep of Steal My Sunshine, and then it ended up not happening ;( I hope they do it on Friday though
