Jeff better sign that kid to a minor league deal.

the miitomo/Dan loves brands part of the bombcast was pretty good

If corporations are good how am I supposed to choose a side in the Corporate Wars of 203X?

 

[Tubobutts]

I side with Austin "Companies are bad" Walker

And also I don't like that I'm older than Spider-Man

Man that was kinda depressing seeing someone so into that stuff

Dan follows and is followed by a number of #brands on Twitter. It's not surprising. He is terrible.

 

[popo]

Yeah those are the big ones. Vermintide is also a lot of fun (and of relatively high quality).

Sold really well too apparently.

I bet you hated when Rorie was on the Dark Souls streams then.

Brad's lizard lust made me concerned for him.

I know some people were amused by the bickering but the Rorie/Ian combo made me hate both of them for a time.

This warhammer game graphically looks like the current gen Too Human sequel that never was.

I seem to remember more about the first Eisenhorn book than I thought. This apartment they're stealthing isn't anything like I pictured it.

 

[Mister_Bubbles]

I hope someone makes a Ciaphas Cain game one of these days.

 

[Tubobutts]

I hope someone makes a Ciaphas Cain game one of these days.

I would play a Ciaphas Cain point and click adventure game. That would be dumb.

 

[Data West]

Just think.

The Spahs Mareen devs could have made an Eisenhorn game instead

 

[jaina]

Why should Giant Bomb have regularly scheduled features, if our P4ER rewatch can't manage a schedule either? In typical GB tradition it happened once and was never seen again

I like what I think was Vinny's idea from a few years ago which was Mass Effect but Eisenhorn.

Gang Beast is getting online multiplayer ? I may actually pick it up sometime then.

Haha, oh yeah, were we not gonna continue that? Turnout was pretty good the first time.

i was away all day and just came home fifteen minutes ago

the rewatch is not really predicated on my presence, you guys could have gone ahead

They released a book, Index Astartes: Apocrypha (http://www.belloflostsouls.net/2016/04/index-astartes-apocrypha-inside-the-covers.html), and a unique model this week to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Space Marines. Unfortunately? They severely undershipped the books (some stores only got one copy, like this one: http://battlebunnies.blogspot.com/2016/04/30-years-of-space-marines-imperial.html?m=1). They didn't even have enough copies at their GW shops, which you'd think they'd have data for to help them calculate how many they need to allocate to their own shops. For example, how do you send only 5 models and 1 book to a GW shop: http://twitter.com/GWCrewe/status/721279972074266624.

Most of the complaints have been on Twitter, not in any forum threads that I've seen.

Well that is pretty dumb. And looking at that book I'd even get it. I would expect them to actually make sure it's widely available.

you could count the number of players but apparently it already hit zero in some places

This made me laugh:

also, it's basically a 20 minute edit of the vive stream with the thinnest layer of editorial added and 120k views. Yt is such a wild west

in his defense, it's not like the title is inaccurate

if you want inaccurate titles, he also has a video called "GTA IV is better than GTA V"

It got linked on several subreddits.

real talk, you might have a reddit problem

It got linked on several subreddits. I would also say that it has more than a thin layer of editorial added since he didn't include pretty much any positive impressions and made the Vive look as bad as he could.

 

[yami4ct]

It got linked on several subreddits.

Was it more the VR Fanboys defending their revolutionary tech to the death or the cynical people who want it to fail so they can say 'I told you so'?

Spoiler

I'm guessing it was both.

Cynical people, it's a very negative edit of the product.

 

[yami4ct]

Cynical people, it's a very negative edit of the product.

I meant the Reddits that it got linked on. Was it more people being angry that someone would say the product is shit right now or cynical people agreeing with the video?

A bit of both. Here people are mostly calling out that it was a horribly misleading video.

Searching Reddit it seems like it wasn`t linked as much as I thought. That guy seems to just get that amount of views on the videos he makes.

 

[Zaph]

I just kinda wish I had access to GB's youtube account so I could copyright claim a ton of shit. I bet it feels cathartic being on the other end of that.

In fairness to him, "GTA IV is better than GTA V at boring you to tears and uninstalling itself after two hours" probably didn't fit

 

[Keyser Soze]

I broke my Xbox One controler, and feel like buying an Elite Controller. The only game I am currently playing is Stardew Valley. I should not do this.

I honestly can't believe someone can rack up a hundred thousand views just putting out stuff like that. The internet is weird.

Looking at that thread, VR reddit is still exactly what I remember them being. Boy that tech can be hard to discuss without the discussions becoming a mess.

That's VR everything tbh. GAF threads about VR that are not dedicated OTs can become just as bad. But yeah, the tribalism that comes with dedicated subreddits to the individual headsets etc. really bring out an extra degree of crazy. Doesn't help that big subreddits in general are a pretty terrible place to be.

TIL people take CinemaSins at face value

The thread in OT is fantastic.

Also 3 hours to Demo Derby!

Yeah. Those discussions are more exhausting than funny.

Like, I think shit like Honest Trailers and Cinema Sins are right up there with 'angry guy yells at new popular nerd piece of culture' in terms of annoying YouTube garbage. Still, I know better than to take it seriously and actually break it down because it's not meant to be looked at that way. I just don't engage with it.

I feel like Vinny just does things to see if he can. Nick plays games like a monster on purpose.

He said he would continue until people stopped buying that stuff. I guess people stopped buying.

Their VR headset after the bike game on UPF is probably sweaty and gross. Wrap the padding in newspaper or old EGMs before intense activities.

Dan`s reaction when the motorcycle just stopped instead of jumping is like my personal VR hell.
