New Lobby is still too concerned with its format and production. Loosen up!

This new Lobby setup looks like something out of a music video. I like it overall, though.
Come on, it's the first one
Did they stream The Lobby on youtube before? This means I can listen on my tablet while falling asleep.

Out of curiosity I searched for the Leesa Mattress, which led to watching people cut their memory foam mattresses with turkey carver. Which led to watching people cut mattresses in specific shapes for RVs. Which led to learning about people who camp out in Walmart parking lots. Long story short, Avena foam is a latex alternative?
Well, sorry then! I thought they didn't have a studio for The Lobby until now.

Is there actually fire or is it a myth?

Can someone just spoil Firewatch for me
Like, PM me if you don't want to post spoilers here
I just want to know. Alex's review wasn't as spoilery as I hoped

Hopefully now that The Lobby is pretty much a standard podcast they will put it upon Itunes and RSS feeds for audio listeners.

Rorie knows what's up, the poison guns in Xcom Apocalypse were so hilariously OP. they were the endgame of all endgame weapons.
this thing: http://www.ufopaedia.org/index.php?title=Biological_Warfare_(Apocalypse)
the game is kind of an uphill fight until you get those and then you just give them to every single soldier and steamroll through the rest of the game

That's kinda difficult to answer.

Alexa Ray is so fun and clever and well-spoken. I hope she shows up on more GB content.

I agree. Also, Danny petting that other guy's face was pretty great.

My non-spoiler thoughts on Firewatch:
Usually when I play a tight, short game like this, I want to be left feeling like I loved the world and want to play it again to spend more time in it. Take Undertale, for example. There was so much flavor to the world, it just left you feeling connected to it.
Firewatch very much didn't accomplish that for me. I just read a comment saying it was on-rails and I agree with that. After the QLEX I was left with the impression that there was a lot of exploring off the beaten path to do.maybe there is, but they don't give you a reason to find it. The pacing is such that going off the beaten path to maybe just explore doesn't make sense from an immersion standpoint. In order to get a more fully fleshed out world and explore more, you have to break from what your character would be doing.
Edit: game took me three hours going by Steam's clock. and it's not like I rushed through. Took my time, found some extra stuff, read notes, I wasn't speedrunning. I don't think there's much else there.
To sum it up, buy this game for 10 dollars during the Summer Steam sale. It's more suited to the game's atmosphere and it's a more worthy price point.

new premium member, thought this was a good place to ask:
-i love the GBE playdates / choose our own adventure series... where do i go to vote on what game they'll be playing next?
-what is the chat like when they record these things? how do they avoid spoilers from idiots?
thanks!

Vinny will usually tweet when they're doing a vote, it's usually on the forum and it goes up on the monday a couple days before the playdate IIRC
The chats alright. They usually only have 1 person manning the chat, and they don't always read it. The mods are good in deleting/banning people too

Or locking the PS4 framerate at 30. It's unlocked as in it jumps from like 10 to 60, and it's giving me a headache.
Games with jump buttons are instantly a tier higher in my book. Increased movement speed by jumping? Even better (not really, that's bad design)!
Vinny will put up a thread on the GB forums the day before, give or take. Follow them on Twitter and/or follow this thread if you want to know when the thread goes up! I never follow chat for any live events of anything, so can't help you there I'm afraid.

you can only roll grenades down hills
I just realised the beauty of this pun.
With some recent changes, my Puzzle and Dragons Japanese account just had a whole top tier dark squad pop out of a lot of not great monsters sitting in my box.
Say what you will about F2P models, it gets skeezy I get it, but man the kind of post release support a game like PAD gets is the best. There's nothing like an update taking a whole group of monsters sitting unused and making it great. Such a cool feeling.

Dan:"What's the currency called, Ky? What is that?"
Brad:"It's uh, a personal lubricant."
Dan:"Ah ok."
*Cue awkward silence for a good 10 seconds*
