Sweet! Thanks. I've been wanting to get the game (especially at the $11.99 price point), but my computer is terrible and I feel the game would be sluggish. I've been hoping they'd announce a PS4 version (one is coming to XB1). If this runs well for me, I'll just get the PC version. If it doesn't, I've not spent any money for it. Win win.
Edit- Just as I thought. To get it running well enough, I had to knock the settings down. Oh, well. Here's to hoping for a PS4 version that will surely run it better than my piece of junk PC. To be fair, I will have had it for five years in August. I know they're very old and outdated and lacking modern features, but I guess it's still SimCity 2000 and 3000 for me! The one that intrigues me, due to the simplicity is Citybound (http://cityboundsim.com/). The graphics look simplistic, but there is a realistic simulation behind it all (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SeAlGGnqIE).
the game seems to run just fine on my laptop so that's good, but man, the font is tiny
also a bit iffy on the tutorial so far. still, the fact that it's running well means that i'll get it at some point, either in this sale or the next

i was super excited to play it and even bought it but it's basically unplayable on my decently specced macbook pro
Just need to get some more foam and they will be settled in any day now!
Please understand

Touche....I don't know why people dislike UPF. It's always great.
Like, there was this other thread on podcasts, but it baffles me that people would only want a podcast that JUST focuses on games. It's like, I dunno, to me if I just wanted game news I would just read the news headlines.

Nah I like it when they bring in an oddity they want to have a look at, it's just that this week felt more like "Here are the games we were going to quick look anyway".
Eh, whatever. Still enjoyed it.

Anime Vice is still alive. As a YouTube channel.
Not even a massive corporate entity could justify 'Giant Spot.'

Wooooow.
Probably my favorite April Fool's Day site prank was IGN's fake Zelda movie trailer. I fucking fell for that hook line and sinker, I'll admit. I was irrationally angry when I realized it was a prank.

Just hearing them talk about Gears 2 being announced and Ryan really wanting to talk about No More Heroes is super weird. It's like this weird time capsule of game announcements.
Now I really dont know how to feel about old Brad.

2012 what? Its been 4 years
My biggest doom and gloom blunder was when Vinny "left" for NY, I thought the bombcast would be dead and thus the site... although in my defense I do think the bombcast has become a much lesser podcast in the last year or so (in my opinion of course), I just didnt see the beastcast coming and being so good.

Yeah with Ryan gone, and then Vinny, Jeff was left with no foil to really bring out the best of his bits. Unfortunately it's still that way, with the funniest moments never really going as far as they did in the past as it's pretty much just everyone laughing at Jeff's jokes, but the East has since picked up some slack with Alex and Austin playing very well off of Vinny and his nonsense.
Yeah, I freaked out a bit about that one. Vinny was the driving force behind most of the premium content, and obviously GBeast wasn't something you could have predicted at the time.2012 what? Its been 4 years

It basically seemed like "the person who makes most of the video content is going to a place where he can't make video content"

I like how everyone just gravitated towards Devil Daggers. It does look like a great dddictive game.
I feel like Jeff and Brad have both stepped up and really became players now, which has filled the gap. Dan serves a different role, but still great. The dynamic has changed, but I like it just as much. The Jason/Dan back and forth never ceases to be amazing.
I love, love Vinny, but I do think the GB community tends to put a bit too much of GB's success on his feet. He's great, but I think he gets hyped too much.
Vinny is just pure chaos. I really like him, but at times he does have a habit of pushing things way too far or goes on too long, but I actually think with Alex and Austin playing very well off of this now, it's better. Having Vinny on the Bombcast again with Jeff late last year did have me miss them being together on a weekly basis though.
Vinny is an enhancer. He isn't necessarily amazing on his own, but he brings out the humor in others. Him with Austin and Alex are MVP territory. I feel like he did that to the West crew when he was on there, but not nearly as much as he done in NY.

I never understood the doom and Gloom when Vinny left for the East Coast, the only tragic thing imo about it was no more Jeff/Vinny pairing in QLs.
And even that tragedy can be averted since they now have adequate tech to make that pair happen again.
Plus i think him being there for the East guys to riff on works out well for them (especially Alex since he has been alone for some time now and Patrick left)

Drew is MVP.
Yep, for the longest time I didn't even understand the Vinny craziness. For 3 or 4 years, I was mainly a podcast person, only really checking out the site every once in a while to watch some videos, and his absurdity didn't come out on the podcast as much. It's only in the last year or two, going back and watching old videos with him and him running the Beastcast that it's become hugely apparent to me.

And Rorie.
Speaking of Rorie, can someone give me a Rorie timeline? Like I know he worked for Obsidian, but did they know him before that and before he came to Whiskey? I know he did Screened with Alex, but then didn't he leave for a little while and then when Dave left he came in as the community manager?
Drew and Rorie: Most Underrated GB Members.
Drew constantly bringing in new mobile and handheld games is great and I love him finding random weird military sims or games from non-traditional Game Development countries. Stories of his life/travels/interests are always great for me as well.
Rosie is just gold any time he's on UPF. His weird hangups and constant state of half-obliviousness due to chat watching are amazing. His affable personality makes him charming as hell as well.
I belive he went from Gamespot to Obsidian to Whisky (Screened) to GB.

he was at Gamespot with the guys in those days and written a lot of game guides
Okay so he was at Gamespot? I thought he was but I wasn't sure (I was never a Gamespot guy).
Best most recent Rorie moment - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm20LsjTJR0
I don't think he was ever a major guy in terms of editorial, but he did a lot of work with guides and such.
That moment might be Rorie's all time greatest moment. 'Reduced Fat' is way up there as well.

Brad mentioned on
I was actually wondering at the time if it was some kind of aimbot due to the sheer precision of their attacks... But I generally think that about everyone unnaturally skilled, so I dismissed it.
