No matter what they choose, I do hope that Steal my Sunshine or XCorps continue with other games.

The concepts of both those shows are too good to have them be one-off things. And it guarantees months of content.

The email segment on the most recent Beastcast was the most boring cookiecutter questions in a while. Thankfully, they managed to formulate some interesting answers.

Niceeee more #oldgames hopefully

Damn good stuff. Good to know that it's safe enough around there for Jeff to stream.

I've been skipping most Beastcast emails lately. Most of them are just really, really bad.
I don't know why they pick stuff like "Can you recommend me a coop game?" or "Should I move out from my parent's house?".
It's too bad that Emails are a huge part of the Beastcast, I wish they traded them in for a bit more in-depth discussion about what they played.

The smart thing to do would be to use the gumball machine for a 120-star Mario 64 playthrough

Steal My Sunshine is the best thing on the site at the moment, so I'll be damned if they don't make a sequel feature to it with Super Mario 64.

That's exactly what I would want next.

But if they're burned out of Mario for a while, especially with Odyssey coming, I would understand.

Mario 64 is a good game tho, it's only fun when they play a bad game like Sunshine

The first question was "What should I play with my SO?" So yea.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Did you guys know that after EGM stop publishing in January 2009, they switched subscribers to a Maxim subscription. I have 4 issues of Maxim here lol.

I absolutely remember that, as I had very recently re-upped my EGM subscription and my parents thought I was a perv when I suddenly started getting Maxim every month lol.

So my free Zelda BOTW CE guide just came and I did not realize how massive and heavy this thing was going to be

One things for certain, it’ll be one of the Old Games 😴😴😴

They should take a break after Sunshine. Bring back Blue Bombin'. Get Alex to play through Mega Man Legends. The game actually takes shorter to beat than some of the regular Mega Man games, lol.

I enjoy the emails segment but I do wish they would talk more about what they have been playing. That's usually my favorite bombcast segment as well.

email concept: if a Dan clone armed with a knife fought a Dan clone armed with a bat, who would win?

email concept: if pickle Dan materialized in our reality, would Dan eat him?

email concept: why does Abby hate stories in games?

Bring back This is the Run

They could always play that Mario 64 online mod. That seems like chaos.

I completely agree, Its the reason I stopped listening to the Beastcast. It turned into a comedy podcast and they barely talk about games. I wish they would stop emails all together. Once every in a while there is a good question, but honestly it's not worth it usually.

SMS Format but with either Banjo Kazooie or Tooie.

Getting the pieces in those games are esoteric enough to make it interesting.

Any time someone writes in with a life-advice question I usually skip it immediately. I just wonder if people listen and follow Giant Bomb for so long they get this idea that the crew are like "internet buddies" who they can reach out advice, which comes across as kind of creepy at times.

Also skip "would you rathers." They're not funny. They never are. They never were.

 

[daveo42]

New This Is The Run would be great if they had a 4-player game they could do it with. Part of the fun of SMS is it brings the whole group together. I could also see them doing another SMS-style thing with gambling included, though I more except Dan might have some other thing brewing for the group to do at East.

Hopefully we'll get some group stuff for Extra Life. It's gonna be weird without Drew there to stream.

First Banjo game is competent, DK64 is an awful game, and Tooie definitely was not to everyone's taste...I thought they were OK.

I didn't really like Nuts&Bolts a whole lot. It's OK, I guess.

It's actually surprising that Dan isn't an ardent defender of those games. They seem right up his alley along with liking Mario Party and SMS.

Does anyone here listen to the postcard segment on the Beastcast? I've skipped it everytime, but was curious if it's interesting or anything more than just reading postcards...

That is probably the best for TitR. I think it would also be pretty neat to see them play through Monaco. Not in a TitR fashion but more in seeing them try to pull off these co-op missions.

I normally do just due to the fact I listen to all my podcasts at work and the longer the podcast, the better.

I've recently been going back to 2013 Bombcasts and I really miss the laidback attitude they had back then. They spend a good amount of time talking about games and then just shooting the shit about random subjects before doing like 20-30 minutes of emails near the end. Now the Bombcasts are more structured and it seems Brad tries to snip tangents off if they go for too long. Also made me realize I preferred Bombcast Vinny to Beastcast Host Vinny by a mile.

THE UPDATE NO ONE ASKED FOR: Karspankey's Internet

Just confirmed my appointment with Spectrum. The guy I talked to, Stanley, was amazingly good at his job. Saved me some money!

Anyways, I'm making a big stink about upgrading my internet because when I first moved to where I am a year ago, I made an appointment with Time Warner and it took three weeks for them to come out. The day of, the technician arrived and said "yeah we don't cover your home" and left

My mouth was left hanging open.

My dreams of 300mb down and 20mb up were gone

I talked with Stanley and he checked my area on their map and said that they serviced the area earlier this year which lines up with me seeing Spectrum trucks in my area a while ago. He even called a technician in my area and he said that they are 99.99% sure we are gucci

Please, Spectrum. Save me from this 10mb down, 750kb/s up hell

You are gonna love your new internet haha. Made a similar upgrade when I moved out from my parents and holy crap it made such a big difference.

Funny enough my parents had CenturyLink. Online gaming was rough lol.
