Vinny tempts me with TrackIR, but I keep thinking 'Occulus Rift is right around the corner'

 

[Megasoum]

Nice, they got a Thrustmaster T500/T300 wheel with a 599XX EVO Alcantara rim and a TH8A shifter... Nice setup.

The funniest thing in the world to me would be Brad going to that Doom level again tonight. I legit enjoy it and the reactions to him playing it over and over.

 

[Tubobutts]

They should just have Alex trucking in the background of every video and podcast if it is capable of making him that happy.

I've sort of come around on it in a way. After the first time I was annoyed, but by the end of last time I was enjoying it again. BB: Doom II is still one of my favorite features on the site.

i like that pretending to have a dull and soul searching line of work where youre constantly pondering your existence while doing day long deliveries is exactly how alex chooses to relax and unwind

Most of Unravel's music -- the violin specifically -- is grating to my ears. :/

It's like a hair removed from nails on a chalkboard.

It's kinda samey. Makes me think of Brothers or something. Edit: Trine. that's what it is.

Bespoke puzzle-platformers are a bustling genre.

Alex "Glass Half-Empty" Navarro strikes again!

Seriously great pic, though. I guess it's for North American Truck Simulator, eh?

How dare you, truckers are proud people.

Alex's genuine smile scares me...

Yeah, I really disliked what I heard of the music in that game.

Re: Unravel

It shouldn't bother me as much as it does but having Yarnie be able to push boulders and other 3D objects along his yarn is dumb! They put the effort of rendering everything as realistically as possible, giving him physics based momentum and generally try to ground it in reality but then they employ that mechanic.

Would you rather have this one?

 

[stump sock]

Was it the invulnerable inactive bad guy?

Escort mission but the person I was supposed to escort was unselectable. I've done like 10 of them before with no problem

 

[skLaFarebear]

It's bad if youre coming from having played 3 damn solid hitman games. It's clearly of the era where publishers were terrified of funding AAA stealth games so they made compromises to make it much more action oriented.

I'm hoping that MGSV has a great influence on both future stealth games and publishers willingness to fund AAA development of them. Square Enx apparently is doing this half step where they're letting Hitman happen but in chunks but i suppose that's better than nothing

But like, DMC2 is a bad game even if you don't compare it to the other DMC games. That game still gives me nightmares and a playthrough of it was only 3 hours ._.

Yes he does.

Yeah... The gameplay and aesthetic seem like they're from two different games. Looking at the QL, it needs some sort of connective tissue or greater vision to bring everything together, on the level of Brothers.

I'm essentially doing courier work rihgt now and me and my brother joke about me getting off work from driving all day to go home and relax and drive all day

 

[Glitchesarecool]

Man... I kinda really want Digimon Cybersleuth. It looks surprisingly good.

Dave Lang's Borderlands 2 Vita Edition is currently $4.

I might buy it just to see how crap it runs

Kerbal: Project B.E.A.S.T - Scott Manley Edition
VIDEO ON FEB 15, 2016 03:00 PM

Sweet. Didn't notice that before now.

 

[TraBuch]

I've seen neither, and don't really have the time for either! But I had just told Vinny (a big fan of the original FMA) about FMA: Brotherhood's existence a couple of weeks ago. so that was the relevant one!

And you call yourself Giant Bomb's Japanimation correspondent.

 

[Hindenblewp]

Alex's genuine smile scares me...

Eh? Eh? EH?

yes

I kinda want another Quick Look of the Internet, personally.

Kerbal: Project B.E.A.S.T - Scott Manley Edition
VIDEO ON FEB 15, 2016 03:00 PM

Sweet. Didn't notice that before now.

I'm actually so excited for this it's unreal.

 

[Teddified]

From the way they talked about Project B.E.A.S.T. at the end of the Beastcast it sounds like Beast themselves aren't involved in the Scott Manley episode. At least only Drew and Scott are involved.

 

[kvk1]

I think it's going to be Scott holding Drew's hand in trying to save the stranded GB East Kerbals.

 

[Twin Tails]

Man, Brad.

 

[William]

That pic of Alex is great. I came into this thread to check up on stuff I had missed as I've been on a GB hiatus for a few months, and that picture put a big smile on my face.

 

[MassiveNights]

Anyone know if you can watch livestreams on the Plex app?

It used to work. I haven't used in a while though.

Is it just me or does the main character in Quantum Break look like Jeff Bakalar?

 

[Twin Tails]

Just throwing this dead mouse out the window.

I just shot someone, let me equipped this coin.

alex is like humans in the matrix his life of goofing and video games doesn't feel real he needs it to be a bit of a nightmare or he rejects it.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Is it just me or does the main character in Quantum Break look like Jeff Bakalar?

He totally does.

 

[alr1ght]

Is it just me or does the main character in Quantum Break look like Jeff Bakalar?

I think he looks like Iceman from X-Men.

 

[TharpDaddy]

He totally does.

I'm resisting making a "we have to go Bakalar in time" joke. Oh woops there it is anyway.

 

[Tubobutts]

I think he looks like Iceman from X-Men.

I think he looks like Jake from the terrible Animorphs TV show.

 

[Bowlie]

I think he looks like Jake from the terrible Animorphs TV show.

I think he looks like Jimmy Olsen from Smallville.

(I just found out it's not actually him. Iceman has a identical twin brother!)

 

[strafer]

Who is Who?

 

[TharpDaddy]

Who is Who?

On the right is CBS Interactive's Jeff Bakalar. Not sure who that is on the left.

Jeff Backalar surprise cameo?

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

On the right is CBS Interactive's Jeff Bakalar. Not sure who that is on the left.

Naw I'm pretty sure that's Merry and Pippen.

 

[Lonestar]

From the way they talked about Project B.E.A.S.T. at the end of the Beastcast it sounds like Beast themselves aren't involved in the Scott Manley episode. At least only Drew and Scott are involved.

I was wondering if they pulled of some sort of "Ground Control" system, where only Scott/Drew had access to the overall numbers/coordinates/Einsteinshiiiit, and VinCo had to fly blind with only a delayed communication from Scott/Drew.

You know, like certified astronaut, deep blue hero stuff.
