Yup the bagel talk always gets me as someone no longer in the NYC area

They have terrible, terrible opinions about bagels.

I'm listening to an early 2013 bombcast while I do some cleaning. You really don't get the lengthy off-topic digressions in the current bombcast like you used to. In this first hour there have been extended conversations about neti pots, dry wall, grilling, petting zoos, and lighbulbs.

Something about how the camera moves in this Samurai Warriors QL is making me really dizzy. First time that's happened to me watching a QL.

Not even the VR footage made you dizzy?

as someone with long-standing Nose Problems the first ten minutes of this UPF were viscerally painful and uncomfortable

 

[Antiwhippy]

Holy shit, getting massive second hand cringe from the new witcher DLC in the playdate.

Can get a bit much for me. As someone who doesn't really know new york outside of the general stuff you get from movies and TVs, they often sound really.... up their own ass? about new york.

So basically they sound like new Yorkers.

Oh man on that mittomo flowers question I answered zero.

I answered what the fuck is a mind's eye?

I didn't know cauterising the nostrils was a thing, nor did I wish to know that.

Fuckkkkk.... Overwatch is soooo goood

I figured it'd be a service for some and a chuckle for the others.

I should pay more attention to UPF.. now I need to rewatch it.

 

[therealminime]

Fuckkkkk.... Overwatch is soooo goood

It really is.

 

[Zaph]

Fuckkkkk.... Overwatch is soooo goood

Is it just a straight TF2 clone that plays entirely self contained match-to-match, or are there still MMO trappings left in from its previous existence? (levels, loot, xp etc)

 

[stump sock]

I'm glad it seems to be going over well. Not my thing but I like what they're going for

 

[Megasoum]

There's an account wide leveling system but afaik all it does is give you free loot crates (for cosmetic stuff) when you level up? Don't think it does anything else.

Other than that it's TF2 made by Blizzard which is fucking great. Lots more characters than in TF2 and they are all very different from each others. I'm slowly discovering more and more characters as I play.

No F2P bullshit (good thing since it's a 60$ game lol)... Everything is unlocked and all that.

Sounds good, but I guess I just need to come to terms with the fact Blizzard will never make another MMO.

Which is probably a good thing for my social life

 

[Jintor]

holy shit that foo show stuff. oh my god.

 

[justjim89]

Myggen, could you archive for posterity the French Tax Collection bit from the Beastcast? It was gold.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Watching Jeff Greene play the Souls games is really funny. He's played them all, I believe, maybe not Demon Souls, but his approach is always the same, with the exact same bad habits. One of the few people that seems to be able to stream the games while not playing so well, and not be constantly attacked, at least the streams I've seen.

 

[Tubobutts]

Jason continues to say "Sepulveda" in an insane way that hurts my head.

Is it as fast as TF2? Never got into TF2, just too fast for me.

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I would argue faster than TF2

Lots of vertical movement compared to TF2

 

[Myggen]

Not even the VR footage made you dizzy?

I should`ve specified that I meant `normal` footage, the Oculus stream really made me dizzy at one point and that was Dan playing the air hockey game.

2 hours until Rorie`s stream starts. I`m kinda excited to watch some WoW while working, I haven`t played WoW since Vanilla and it`s always fascinating to get a glimpse of how much it`s changed.

edit I just noticed that the GBEast stream is over 3 hours. Awesome!

 

[Robaperas]

Oh, I had a friend who couldn't play Half-Life 2 because of the fisheye FOV thing, it sucks if you end up missing some games or streams because of it.

 

[Death Metalist]

I just want to say that the moment Dan

Spoiler

took off

on UPF, holy shit Jason. That one got me good.

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Catching up on Best of Giant Bomb. Brad yelling "I'M HELMUT FUCKING KRUGER" while getting in a helicopter is so damn perfect.

 

[Houndi101]

Vinnie playing Witcher 3 makes it look like it's sped up and should have Yakety sax playing on the background

 

[Myggen]

The motorcycle minigame Dan did on UPF looks absolutely fucked to do yourself unless you have a really good stomach for VR. I imagine I wouldn`t last a minute in that thing.

It was funny watching the guys react to Dan freaking out. I had trouble with the air hockey game too and would probably not be able to play the bike game for more than a few seconds.

edit---I thought Rorie was supposed to be playing WoW on stream at noon pst/ 3pm est?

 

[kvothe]

Bombcast is still far and away my favorite podcast and I couldn't even tell you why. I commonly listen to the new episodes multiple times. But I feel so apathetic about Beastcast right now. I'll miss out on big chunks of the episode and not even bother to go back to listen. Their improv comedy bits rarely hit for me and their deeper, more intellectual conversations rarely make me feel like I'm coming away with a new perspective.

But I can listen to Gerstmann talk for days. It's so inexplicable.

 

[Strax]

I wish there was a new Family Feud video game, I want another FF quick look

I have rewatched the existing two over a hundred times each.

I'm not exaggerating.

After watching the UPF, is Brad going to try giving the GOTY to destiny again ?

nice to know, I just skipped until I saw Dan in the bike

No, but don't cheer too soon, because now it'll just be Clash Royale.

saturday viewing: Gamespot Player's Ball Presented by STRIDE featuring the Global Rainbow Six Tournament

edit: they just went back to back from rock band to guitar hero 3 and it's really funny hearing the red octane guy subtweet harmonix

 

[kvk1]

overwatch will be goty

 

[avengers23]

I admire Jeff Bakalar's commitment to creating content by baiting the IRS to thoroughly audit his finances on the most recent Beastcast

 

[Megasoum]

overwatch will be goty

As much as I love the game myself, I'm sure GB will complain about it.

From the sound of it Jeff already set his mind on hating it anyway

 

[AcademicSaucer]

I hope TRACER CORE wins best character

 

[Tubobutts]

The real question is if Dark Souls 3 will even make the GOTY list.
