Support NeoGAF

[Young Liar]

I can listen to Austin talk forever. Dude's got the perfect balance of smarts and humor, and he knows exactly when to be warm and friendly and when to start spitting hot fire. I know there's still a decent portion in the games enthusiast audience that thinks there can still be "too much politics talk" in games discourse, but I'm all for it.

I mean when the old white boys club can talk about being man children with their dumb college escapades and alcohol-fueled adventures and the garbage food and beverages they consume, black folk can talk openly about being anime nerds and queer women can joke about which video game characters fuck and both can dump on shitty privileged pop stars. Gimme all of that.

I also just love it more when the random asides get balanced by thoughtful analysis of video games!

True that Jeff and Brad bring that industry vet insight when talking about the industry at large, and they have a good handle when it comes to breaking down the bare mechanics of games in genres they're into.

also people clown on ep 5 of life is strange way too hard count me in with classic gbeast who liked it well enough apart from the forced stealth section and the villain hamming it up in the beginning

lost it at abby complaining about sonic being too hard and confusing then vinny and bakalar being like 'oh my young kid loves playing sonic mania'

Oh shit, Playdate's in <20 minutes, isn't it? I was waiting for a bag of rice to be delivered before I actually made lunch but I guess I gotta get on that ASAP.

we're a bunch of drug addicts that need giant bomb content to survive

after 24 hours without any content we go into withdrawal and start yelling about things

 

[Infinite Justice]

Err, what kind of feelings did they talk about when it comes to fallout? All I remembered was the argument wher brad and austin basically went "but making games are haaaard."

Still a dumb hill to try to die on for a Bethesda game.

I've been falling asleep to Steal My Sunshine videos recently and been having terrifying nightmares of not being in control of my life. It's all coming together.

Welcome! Only one rule of GBGAF, and that boils down to "Try not to be a dick!"

This rule is broken fourteen times a page.

Oh, yeah, we also reference Twin Peaks a lot now.

Welcome to the club. Leave before it's too late.

 

[Blitzrules240]

So final predictions on Playdate game?

Is Alex back? Maybe they'll do the GTA Online.

 

[BTA]

I feel like the second rule of "Try not to be a creep!" only gets broken once every few pages, at least.

 

[MadLaughter]

I feel like the second rule of "Try not to be a creep!" only gets broken once every few pages, at least.

Haha, yeah. This one's important, too.

 

[Infinite Justice]

LOL @ Vinny's Daughter.

She's in the "black sheep" phase already.

 

[ThanksVision]

goty deliberations is single-handedly my favorite gb content and 50% of the fun is following them throughout the year and seeing what they are into and trying to bet on what they will choose. it's why they are totally going to do gotg deliberations next summer for their 10th anniversary.

 

[OdysseusVA]

why is FTL so hard

 

[Teddified]

So finally predictions on Playdate game?

Is Alex back? Maybe they'll do the GTA Online.

Destiny or Knack is my guess, unless they go back to the well and do an older game.

I could see them playing some Sonic to teach Abby about it too but I wouldn't put that guess too high up.

 

[Death Metalist]

So final predictions on Playdate game?

GTA Online. I would say Crash Bash but I think they'll want Alex as well for the madness.

Spoiler

it'll probably be ARK

 

[Lari]

Sonic Mania playdate?!

Wouldn't bet a shine on it though.

 

[Han Seoul-Oh]

Chat's up.

 

[MadLaughter]

I enjoy GOTY prediction chatter, but I don't blame others who find it a bit exhausting.

The solution, though, is to do what I do when things get mean or creepy: change the subject! Pose a decent enough question targeted at everyone and often the gears switch.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I guess... There is a bit of a learning curve to the game. Cause I remember as a kid playing Sonic 1. I died a lot on the second level because you had to be mindful of the lava, so I just wanted to play the first level over and over.

But after a bit got the hang of the flow of the game, and started to have fun and got farther in the game (could never beat it tho). Hopefully Abby can stick through the rough start and gets to enjoy it.

Sonic 1's kinda rough. There's nothing anywhere near as bad as Labyrinth Zone in Mania.

 

[OdysseusVA]

And just like that

 

[Blitzrules240]

I'd be down to see some Knack 2 tbh lol.

Edit: What is this...Abby can't leave already.

 

[Hasney]

And just like that

And just like that she still works for Giant Bomb :shocked

 

[OdysseusVA]

And just like that she still works for Giant Bomb :shocked

Does she tho?

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

Does she tho?

Only Jeff works at Giantbomb now.

 

[Blitzrules240]

THIS IS ALL DANIKA'S FAULT.

 

[KillerDark]

why is FTL so hard

To make it super fun . Love FTL haha. What difficulty are you playing on?

 

[Teddified]

THIS IS ALL DANIKA'S FAULT.

It's Austin's fault for betraying us in the first place.

 

[Blitzrules240]

AUSTIN WALKER

*shakes fist at the sky*

 

[MadLaughter]

This stream just got too spooky for Pat Baer.

 

[Death Metalist]

Only Jeff works at Giantbomb now.

.

 

[Lari]

It's probably gonna be Destiny 2 though, right?!

 

[MadLaughter]

It's probably gonna be Destiny 2 though, right?!

Maybe? Jeff and Vinny are still waiting on PC probably.

 

[Liquid Shake]

It's probably gonna be Destiny 2 though, right?!

It better not be!

 

[TheChits]

I've been listening to Day 5 of the 2015 goty deliberations and Austin's defense of Invisible Inc. was great. Hopefully someone on the staff is that passionate about a game this year

 

[Teddified]

surprise FMVinny would be nice.

 

[OdysseusVA]

It's probably gonna be Destiny 2 though, right?!

I hope not

TLOU would be great tho

To make it super fun . Love FTL haha. What difficulty are you playing on?

Me too but damn just give me a win lol

On easy

 

[Blitzrules240]

It could be multiple games.

 

[Teddified]

It could be multiple games.
