UK press isnt all bad. Its just the print media side and the websites run by print media people.

Give it another 18 months and those should be all gone anyway.

I remember when Google figured this out on its own... I was scared.

It took quite a while before Google Now started working here in Finland, but my first experience with it was when one day my phone just started reminding me when my flight was leaving, which terminal etc. - definitely took me by surprise. That was like half a year before I started getting something useful out of it (local commute).

It still doesn't support enough services around here to make it properly useful, for example parcel tracking would be handy. And the nearest liquor store.

It could literally be Dave Lang anything and I would watch it.

You just have to wait until Google buys the creator of Alkoon.

I know I would love it but we need to remember he actually has a different job.

Was there an Unprofessional Friday last week? I'm not seeing the archive on the site.

Wasn't many people in the office, so they did a whole show on the PS TV and made it free for everyone: http://www.giantbomb.com/videos/playstation-tv-compatibility-quiz/2300-9578/

Oh that's a shame, I already watched that. That Persona segment really made me want Jeff to play more of P4G (and me wanting a port of it or at least a way to play it on PS3).

 

[Antiwhippy]

Well, there is now a system that costs $100 that you can play it on...

 

[Basileus777]

Well, there is now a system that costs $100 that you can play it on...

$100 + memory card + game. A bit much to play one game.

 

[Xanathus]

I would seriously consider buying it if it could at least do other stuff like play videos from an SD card/USB.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Yeah, if you have no interest in it other than just games only don't buy it.

$100 + memory card + game. A bit much to play one game.

Buy a cart if you don't want to spend money on memory.

The vita is my most played system this year. I don't even own P4G!

Dan just tweeted he's playing the Vanishing of Ethan Carter.

If you're reading this thread, Dan, may I ask if you're considering doing a review on the game? It's my GOTY thus far and I'd love to see more reviews from bigger sites, good or bad. I don't want this beautiful, haunting game to be forgotten.

Is there a decent amount of freedom to explore in that game? In the ql, I wasn't quite sold on the puzzle elements, but the world looks real nice and I like just walking around environments like that.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

PS TV has 1GB in built memory. You don't need a Memory card to play P4G retail version.

Yes and no. It has some freedom but for the most part you're going where the game wants you to go. It's a tightly designed and written game that blends narrative and game design cohesively and intuitively to tell a cracker of a story.

Oh yeah, and it's gorgeous.

Soundtrack's amazing, too.

Hmm, I might still check it out. Thanks!

Has Jeff not done a Skylanders QL this year?

Hopefully soon.

 

[stump sock]

The vita is my most played system this year.

I haven't really thought about it much, but I might be in the same boat. lengthy jrpgs and portable Spelunky will do that.

Can someone gif Jeff's reaction to Marie? Please.

give me a timestamp and I'll do it

Marie's got some pro-level zettai ryouiki going for her.

 

[RepairmanJack]

Can anyone help me remember around the date of when they switched offices the first time? I was in the process of listening to old podcasts and recently switched players and lost where I was. All I can really remember from the recent episodes I had listened to was them talking about moving.

Thanks in advance.

July 6th, 2010 is the first Bombcast after the move, I believe.


UPF and you all have me watching the Persona 4 Endurance Run from the beginning... again. I'm just going to skip work and life for the next few weeks now.

It's been over 4 years? This makes me feel old.

Four years ago I had high hopes for life. Giant Bomb was there in my eyeballs. Now I have low hopes for life. Giant Bomb is still here in my eyeballs. I can deal with that.

Thanks, this should help narrow it down.

 

[Mookie1515]

Nope
The battle with Metal Gear/Liquid felt more like an episode of breaking brad. You could see it in his face.

I felt so bad for him. I love Drew because he tries so much to look past the flaws of a game to see the stuff that is worth liking, and not just outright saying the whole game is bad for a flawed section.

But I couldn't agree with him more that the REX fight with it's awkward checkpoint and cheap ass Liquid fight is one hell of a annoying way for such a great game to go out.

Spoiler

But, I am with Dan, when I was ten the final segments were fucking amazing.

 

[SteveWinwood]

nothing in mgs is flawed

there is nothing to look past

You might have to shoot a flare up to let them know this thread is in community now.

 

[daydream]

Don't know why I didn't switch to dark theme earlier (on GB, I mean). This will help preserve my eyesight in the long run.

Top right, there's a black and a white "A" you can click on to change theme from white to black.

 

[Renpatsu]

The black and white 'A' icon next to your GB inbox switches between the light and dark theme, similar to NeoGAF.

[Patryn]

The original Persona 4 is a PS2 Classic on PSN, I believe. So that's playable on all PS3s.

I already finished that on the PS2, I'm interested in Golden because I didn't realize they changed the story somewhat.

Ah. Yeah, then you'll need either a Vita or a PSTV.

Dan already popped up in here, in response to someone saying he'd be "too dumb" to find it.

By the way, I know I've already admitted to being kind of a big Vita fan, but I'm really enjoying my PSTV. I played a friggin ton of it this weekend. Senran Kagura is way better with a real controller. The vita versions of Atelier games look good on a big screen too.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Can't wait till this thread becomes the all illusive #vitagaf.

 

[Incandenza]

The other Persona games are on PSN too right? Could you theoretically get all of Persona 1-4 on a Vita / PSTV?

 

[Patryn]

Yes. Although it'd be Persona 3 Portable and not Persona 3 FES. P3P does not include The Answer, only The Journey.

 

[stump sock]

The other Persona games are on PSN too right? Could you theoretically get all of Persona 1-4 on a Vita / PSTV?

Theoretically, yes. P1 PSP remake, P2:IS PSP remake, P2:EP ps1 classic, P3P, P4G.

Still a little sore about the EP remake not making it out west.

 

[Patryn]

Still a little sore about the EP remake not making it out west.

I also personally think the changes to the music they made in the P1 PSP remake were terrible.

Seriously, the battle theme is the worst. Compare this with this.

 

[Basileus777]

Yes. Although it'd be Persona 3 Portable and not Persona 3 FES. P3P does not include The Answer, only The Journey.

The Answer is better off experienced through youtube anyway, P3P is the way to go.

 

[Patryn]

The Answer is better off experienced through youtube anyway, P3P is the way to go.

Eh. I much prefer being able to control a character rather than a cursor.

 

[ultron87]

P3P's cutscenes all being talking heads does make some story moments lose some impact, but basically everything else is better, so it is probably for the best.

The Friday video has probably convinced me to get a PS TV at some point to be a P4G and Danganropa box. I'd really like to play those games, but I can't stand the Vita's form factor for long sessions.
