Played some of that Fortnite Battle Royale. Having never played PUBG, I can kinda see how people have gotten really into it. Despite how bad Fortnite feels (especially playing it in between Destiny 2 and Overwatch, both of which feel phenomenal), I still had that high of getting kills and surviving for long, and wanting to jump right back in when I got killed immediately.
I'll probably give Fortnite some more hours for the next week to see how it sits, but man do I wish it didn't feel so cheap, both in controls and aesthetics.
Also, yeah, it's shameless af what Epic did, but also yeah Bluehole is the king of PC gaming right now and they're swimming in money so I can't really feel too bad for them.
Won't get to see all of the raid stream live, but I'm excited for it. I beat it with a great group of fellow Gaffers who were patient and friendly, and we had a real good time. Every victory felt amazing, and folks would keep it light and encouraged each other.
Of course, it probably helped that two of us already knew what to do for most of it, so it was just a matter of execution.
I admire the crew's insistence to come into it blind and try to figure it out on their own, but I have a feeling it's going to be a mess! Brad will probably have to speak up sooner than later to guide the way. Only other Destiny raid I've played is Vault of Glass, and from what I remember of that raid, this one relies way more on every single person doing their job perfectly.

Chance the Destiny 2 stream is fun to listen to? I guess I'm intrigued but
IT'S NO STEAL MY SUNSHINE.

The emailer is kinda misleading by not telling them that it has some of the most insufferable characters ever conceived.
Rorie is the real treasure of the crew.
This has been known for years. Rorie haters will be punished

I like Six Crazy Frights now that I've watched it, but I dunno if it's super amazing. Most of it is due the game. I kinda can't stand to watch PT being played after the initial moment. Not because it's too scary but I kinda get frustrated how most of the game is just frustrating obtuse bullshit. That's not even really that fun to watch someone bang their head against.
It also didn't talk about best girl Misaka. I guess she's more important in railgun.

PT is the Sunshine of horror games

I didn't get to railgun. I watched a few episodes of index before the indescribable need to blow my brains out took over.
PT is good though
That's a shame. It gets pretty good in season 2 with the Accelerator fight in the Sisters Arc. It's way better than the Index version.

PT is good in the same way sunshine is a masterpiece.
She's like Patrick but good
How dare you lol
PT is easily the most I've ever been unsettled by a horror game. Trying the get to the ending is silly but damn that thing is creepy as hell.
Patrick is the best, foh
she likes splatoon 2 so no
But that proves his point

That's my point. It's unsettling until it just becomes so silly that it undermines itself.
If it could maintain its atmosphere while being this obscure ARG thing I would have been more impressed but it didn't for me.
Sounds to me you just hate horror games.
That's 90% of horror games that fail to keep it fresh throughout.
look we all know splatoon 2 isn't making it to GOTY so it's all good

I think that's why he's been rockin' the goatee. He just pasted that on and got everyone used to it so that he Clark Kent'd his way back into Giant Bomb and none were the wiser.
The issues with PT are the bullshit you need to find or do to make progress. Early game before the eyeball bullshit is okay, but even then if you miss something, you might get stuck in a loop of getting murdered by Lisa. The last section is the absolute worst because of the hoops you had to go through and was even worse when it first came out and there wasn't a guide.
PT is scary af, but it also has a ton of gameplay barriers because puzzles are more obtuse than they need to be.

I mean I don't think every horror game does that. Most of the silent hill games are able to not lose sight of their core atmosphere. The borderline stuff (as in not really horror games but definitely have a core atmosphere of horror) like Soma and STALKER are able to do that.
PT as an event is great but as a game it's super tedious.

Maaaan, Golf Story looks great too.
My Switch might be taken over my PS4 as priority.

Can the Destiny 2 music be removed and replaced with this?

I think you might still be able to find old Gamescoop, Three Red Lights, Podcast Beyond, and Wii-k in review by simple google search.
I adore those old podcasts (although they're filled with all kinds of gross shit that would be no-go today for obvious reasons). They got me into the whole scene. I learned what neogaf was from Mark Bozon's old internet commentator impersonations.
Here, I'll do the work for you:

I hear FF XIV has great music, but it's an MMO so the first thing I did was turn the music off because MMO's are "I'm watching something at the same time" games
Oh good, so the entire SMS cast was available and we get... This.

I'm worried they're underleveled. Skilled players can knock out the raid with 260-270 but, lets be real, we're not looking at people who are taking the raiding all that seriously.
Fuck diversity!

So I bought the Ruiner bundle with the OST, seeing that the OST is a big reason why I'm buying it.
Doesn't appear in folder.
Huh.
Go to the reviews page and sees that no one else got their OST.
Steam's OST buying system is fucking weird mang.

Brad and Dan are in the 300s and Jeff is in the high 280s, I think they'll be fine

I trust Abby will be fine, but I'm real concerned for Alex and Ben. There's ways to mitigate against it, but man, I still have yet to beat the damn thing and I'm in the 290s
Thanks duder! I'll definitely check these out
lol, I'm in the same boat. I've done multiple parts over the last two weeks but I still haven't beaten it and I just got to 303
