My dream is Danganronpa player by Vinny and maybe Abby. I'm not even sure it would be the best content, but Vinny needs to play that game.

This is the run: mario maker.
Basically Dan's mario maker rivalry with patrick only it's with Vinny.
I'd rather have Mario Maker: East vs. West, each side collectively makes a level the other has to beat.

Nope.
Dan & Alex.
We need our anime editor to teach dan anime.
At least there is one less 80+ hour game to play this year
Edit: Vinny and Abby play VNs with voice modulation.
this news makes me sad

Vinny will need to go back and play the first two (which he would do).

Nah that will just devolve to Jeff vs Dan which might as well be the old mario maker streams.

I have to say, my favorite thing about PUBG is how it has artificially shortened both podcasts, by making an easy 10-30 minute chunk each week you can just FF through. Now that I have a full-time job, it's a lot harder to both listen to podcasts (I had to boot things from my feed that I actually liked, such as Kotaku Splitscreen and Nintendo Voice Chat because there was just no chance I'd ever hear them) and watch videos (The only video that I have seen Ben physically in was some of the E3 stuff, as I just don't have time for UPF/TNTlite).
I was giving serious thought to not renewing my premium membership later this year, but the fact that they put so much time into something I don't care about at all (played for 90 mins before Steam Refunding it) makes me feel like i'm not "missing" anything I actually care about.

Haha that would be fun too. I mostly just say Vinny since he liked Zero Escape.

Oh yeah I just meant the first one for now. Plus he can stream it easily now that it's on PS4!

Watching Demo Derby and I thought that Silent Hill 4 was fucking rad.
Then you have Ben saying that "it's the worst game trailer he's ever seen."
Ben is always exaggerating I feel if he's not into the source material, like he wants to be funny 100% of the time.

Wait a tick, on this week's Bombcast, did Jeff really just say he got his first "scoped" kill in PUBG? I, uh... oh my.

yeah I was a little confused by this too... like 90% of kills in this game happen long range, unless you're dropping to a spicy area for a quick game

Since we've had so much talk about constructive criticism, here's my (late) constructive criticism for the Beastcast:
If you don't have someone who is already prepared to speak intelligently about a segment, just don't have that segment. What was the point of the Doomfist discussion on the last episode? "So there's a new hero out in Overwatch... anyone here still playing that? Yeah me neither, it's all PUBG for me nowadays... I guess this is like, the big bad? Anyone up on their Overwatch lore? No? Well uh [reads abilities off website]... so yeah, I guess some people have access to him and some don't? I don't really know what the credentials are for that... okay moving on"

Nah, as a silent hill fan that trailer was never that great. It's just a random bunch of footage of the monsters.
You get so much more mood and character motivations from this 2 trailer, for example.

At this point PUBG content has no value for me. I'll have it playing in the background at times but I don't even register what they're doing anymore.

100% agreed. East feels more like they want to get themselves from comedy bit to comedy bit instead of knowing details or be at least somewhat prepared.Since we've had so much talk about constructive criticism, here's my (late) constructive criticism for the Beastcast:

Or they react weirdly like "That sucks" for Cuphead staying Xbox exclusives (even if available on Steam).

I think people need to slow down with the "Beastcast is just a comedy podcast" stuff. Alex has been gone and Dan just had a Taco Bell wedding. Things will slow down a bit in that regard.

I love the Beastcast, but it's not been as great without Austin. And it sorely needs Alex right now.

Any silent hill trailer without his signature style of indie rock is not a silent hill trailer.

also what if I told you guys that I like the Beastcast even if it's a comedy podcast?
what if I told you this is what they're going for and this is what some of us are looking for?
Enjoy it then.
I enjoy the beastcast too.
The thing with comedy though is that not everything hits. Which is fine.

I enjoy PUBG so I enjoy the discussion around it.
I could see how that could be annoying but not enough to get ruffled by it.

Oh, you mean Jeremiah?
P.S I'm not passing judgment either way on the new comedy Beastcast, I just don't think it's a permanent change.
Oh, you mean Jeremiah?
Not only, but yes, the bad comedy.
Some of those were hilarious to me. Like, they (mostly Patrick) literally learned why people play multiplayer games but I don't think they've realised that. He was gushing about how he played PUBG with people he knows to work towards something in the game, how those people took on different roles and how rewarding that feels. I honestly think he has never done that in a video game before and I expect a few articles about this new phenomenon soonish.Waypoint Podcast is way worse with PUBG than even the GB ones- There was an episode a week or so ago that was 50 minutes of Battleground, 10 minutes of e-mails. Those are a breeze to listen to

I'm cool with the Beastcast being a comedy podcast! If they wanna do that then they should stop distracting from the comedy by devoting 15 minute segments to news topics they aren't actually interested in covering.
Waypoint Podcast is way worse with PUBG than even the GB ones- There was an episode a week or so ago that was 50 minutes of Battleground, 10 minutes of e-mails. Those are a breeze to listen to
Waypoint is hit-or-miss sometimes because their shorter structure means they tend to only talk about one or two things before hitting emails. That can be really good when they dig into a topic I'm interested in and obviously a bummer when they get into something I don't care about. Personally I enjoy the PUBG/learning-my-first-esport talk (even if sometimes it's like "yeah dawg that's how competitive multiplayer games work") but am less into the "according to my Twitter timeline this YouTube rant on games criticism is THE most important thing so let's devote a full hour to it" stuff
