I've enjoyed this thread of GG-people trying to piece together a narrative for Giant Bomb: http://www.reddit.com/r/KotakuInAct...bomb_who_called_gamergate_a_politicized_hate/

Don't click if you're not a masochist.

This is just getting sad now. Still, it's cute that they care.

 

[Antiwhippy]

several threads ago we were trying to track down which episode that was. do you still have that information?

I've got on random so I'm not too sure but it's very possibly the 11-09-2011 cast?

this stuff is so far up its own butt now that it's completely indecipherable to your average reader. baffling.

 

[derFeef]

I have to make a confession.

I have not watched any UPF since Dan joined. Not because of Dan, it's just that my life changed a bit and I do not have the amount of time anymore.
I loved watching UPF at 1am local time, or the next day when the archive did go up, good times!

I guess that particular UPF is still worth watching - did any other "classic" happen in the meantime?

 

[Renpatsu]

I watched the Gamespot video review of Fantasia. Game looks great. Too bad the quick look was bogged down by having to play through the tutorial and being forced to watch what could be much punchier narrative cutaways.

Edit: Patrick's Clock Tower interview with Hifumi Kono and Takashi Shimizu is a great read if folks haven't it checked it out yet.

I wish they would put in some amount of time into every game before doing a QL.

Somebody asked for the best UPF since Dan joined a while back, and got 4 or 5 different answers. There have been a couple down weeks, but for the most part they've been great with him.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Yeah, the SR3 being in dan ryckert's mind is from 11-09-2011.

I will search that, thanks!

 

[Shiny Llama]

I will search that, thanks!

Jeff and Dan had great chemistry in this one.

 

[Archaix]

I will search that, thanks!

For my personal suggestions:

7/18 (Sumotori Dreams and Lethal League)
7/25 (Mount your Friends, Windjammers)
Mario Party Party (Not UPF, but great)
10/4 (Genesis games and Next Car Game)

I'm in a Facebook group of friends about 50 people strong, there are about 10 of them playing Destiny at a pretty hardcore level - every day, hours, strikes, grinding, raiding, etc. And they are still definitely having fun. Though maybe they're masochists, too.

I'm still back at 24, but, I still play anywhere from 5-7 hours a week. Still have fun. I've put 75-80% of my 40 hours into just playing Control. Enjoy it.

Oh no! I'm only speaking specifically about Brad. I'm not saying anything bad towards Destiny, I'm sure people can enjoy it. Hell, I enjoy Warframe, which is a little grindy (although there's a trade system to make it easy mode for acquiring things if you don't want to spend the time).

I'm sorry if I came off the wrong way guys. I'm just getting into this whole Giant Bomb thing.

Nah, can't trust those Destiny nuts.

as much of a cheap bastard as I can be, I watch so much GB content that I am totally content to pay full price. but I'm only speaking for myself.

When you sign up for reddit gold you will be given a key to plug in when you go to sign up for giantbomb premium.

 

[Ketch]

Oh man that gamer gate reddit has got some comedy gold in it.

A response to someone stating that both side of the agruement have issued threats:

Prove it, find the people who sent [death threats]. Interview them with truth serum, and prove they "support gamer gate".

I laughed.

What in the actual fuck? :lol:

I love how people constantly ask him about what the goal is and that it makes no sense to go after a company that is more in line with what they're "asking" for, but the OP makes it all about death threats that they're claiming are fake and inaccurate. Since they're apparently “fake” and Jeff brings them up that's apparently grounds for stupid attacks. What?!

Seriously people have too much damn time, go actually play some damn games.

So accurate.

lmfao the background shifting by Jason was great

 

[popo]

I wish they would put in some amount of time into every game before doing a QL.

In an ideal world. You would get a lot less content though. It usually works out okay for what a "quick look" is designed to be. Occasionally not, like with games with slow openings.

 

[Ozone]

The Fantasia QL really bums me out. Jeff was complaining about the progression in the Story Mode and kept talking about wanting to free play the songs, when if he just exited the mode and went to the main menu he could've selected "Song Library" and did just that.

 

[daydream]

Going to bed early today. Judging from the last few weeks, I should be up before the Bombcast hits (which should be in ~9-10 hours).

Ren has outdone himself this week.

Jeff said he had played more but didn't have the save.

What's not to like? I still think jnr video producer would have been a good diversity hire but I can see why Jason got the gig - seems to have arrived with all the skills needed and not much training required.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Project Spark looks like some micro transaction filled poop. I thought Microsoft had learned from the launch.

Nothing to not like, just something to love. Spiced up a pretty boring QL.

 

[Kimaka]

The Fantasia QL was pretty boring until they got to the faster songs. Playing the conductor looks like it could be fun.

Am I the only one who thinks Fantasia looks horrible?

He isn't wrong. I bet you that name has no cache with younger consumers.

Where do I start?

 

[LurkerPrime]

Unless something amazing happens in the next 20 minutes, Jason's single-handedly salvaged the visual element of this QL. Fantasia is... not interesting to see in motion.


To answer Dan's question during the QL:

Spoiler

it was a monkey.

 

[SlowRevolution]

oh for sure, I just don't think they'd have any idea who she is either. she won, like, ten years ago.

Wow.

This game looks really really bad.

 

[Archaix]

Wow.

This game looks really really bad.

I haven't watched anything since E3 (Last E3?) but it looked pretty terrible when I saw it. Most of that was because the songs they announced were completely fucking awful though. The rest was because the game looked really boring.

edit: Just took a look at the final soundtrack, and they could not have possibly chosen a less appealing initial song list. None of the soundtrack has any place in a god damned Fantasia game, but at least the other songs don't make me want to hurt anybody who would ask me to listen to them.

Game looks like something that should have been a demo for the Kinect that came free with the Xbox One.

For all of the time they spent showing it off and for all of the time Giantbomb and others spent talking about the game looks like shit IMO.

 

[Rapstah]

I can totally see why Harmonix would try to make games where they pull people in with something else than the fact that someone spent 150 hours placing the notes on drums on a difficulty less than 5% of the people playing the game would use, but at least that was one thing to pull people in about your game.
