I find the stuff they say funny but the way they play the game.. it's because I used to be good at playing football games I guess.

Yeah it's to be expected though, seeing most of GB's audience doesn't give a shit about sport games. :P Contrast the reactions to sport games with NiGHTs and Resident Evil 6.

It's Patrick's version of tank controls.
It gets in the way of enjoying the actual content, but people like me will go out of their way to attempt justifying it as integral to the experience/atmosphere.


I know the next part will be better, Patrick. : P

Patrick "How did I not just research these things first and figure them out beforehand" Klepek said:
Hey guys, I want to make a few things clear before the comments dig in.

1. I’m sorry for the quality of the video. Despite my technical test last week, I clearly wasn’t prepared for hosting a livestream, and hadn’t taken into account everything necessary. You guys are paying subscribers, some of you paid up in order to watch this feature, many of you were up very late, and it’s my fault for not being better prepared. Your patience is super appreciated. Thanks to the chat, we did figure out most of the issues, which should make next week’s show much better. For example?

2. I didn’t take bitrate into account. It was set at an astoundingly low 300, despite my 4MB+ upload connection at home capable of spitting out much more. That’s why the video suddenly becomes pretty watchable towards the very end, even if the video is slightly out of alignment at that point.

3. I should have lowered the resolution, rather than maintaining the native resolution of my laptop.

4. I didn’t have my laptop connected over Ethernet, it was over wi-fi. Yeah, yeah, I know, I know.

5. I didn’t save a local version of the capture, which means the version on Twitch is all we have.

6. I'm going to build a PC eventually! This year probably!

A bunch of excuses? Totally! But I wanted to make sure people knew I’d taken note of everything that now seems perfectly obvious, and to underscore the learning process. Part of the reason I just went ahead and pulled the trigger was to make sure that Spookin’ With Scoops actually happened. Even if I crashed and burned, at least there was progress, right? And you got to watch me flame out!

Again, thanks for your patience, we should have something much better next week, and if you have suggestions for future games, leave ‘em here or send me a PM on the site. Thanks for your support.

I've noticed that Patrick really takes negative feedback well. That's a very admirable trait.

Yep. I noticed that when that guy made that tasteless tweet about his dad. Major respect to Patrick for that.

That jeff isn't very good but the others are pretty spot on.

Hmm, those quotes at least sets my expectations right so I won't be disappointed later.

It'll be interesting to see how this feature develops. On the BLLSL I'm sure he was just acting scared, which bored me.
 
Darklord said:
No, he doesn't. It's just anti-social gamers who get jealous because Patrick got in the way of them and their imaginary friendship of the GB crew.

Not really, I enjoy his written articles but his on-air persona rubs me the wrong way sometimes. That's just me though, and honestly I find Ryan is more annoying these days.
 
Fuck, you just ruined the illusion I was having here. Whenever Patrick speaks on the bombcast I turn down the volume and talk myself, you know weighting in my opinion with the rest of the cast. Sometimes I dream of Vinny riding bareback on a horse too.

Pfft. I dream of Ryan having sleep apnia with his body drenched in manly man sweat glistening off of him like when he reviews Kinect games. So much tossing. So much turning. So much sweat. Mmmmmm.
joking

I guess Vinny is cool too.
 
Does anyone remember the video where Jeff played NHL 94 on Sega CD? It was a long streaming day, and it wasn't the nostalgiafest or the unarchived retro stream.

edit: Nevermind, it was the unarchived retro stream.
 
When did the video player change? In the past I could jump to any point in the video and start from there, now it doesnt do that. Not interested in starting the Blade Runner video again, when was already an hour in.
 
The download feature is also pretty hassle free, and it's smart in that it asks you if you want to delete the downloaded videos once you're done watching.

Pretty much the perfect way to view their content.

What do you have your video player set to? You can switch between streaming / progressive / HTML5 / youtube.

Pick streaming or HTML5 and use that.

Progressive has been sucking lately, I agree.
 
I would love the HTML5 player if only it gave you a timestamp while skipping through the video, it's really annoying when looking for something specific. Also would be nice if it showed how long the videos are in HTML5.
