I eagerly look forward to that podcast.

Dan's swearing in the Fenix Rage quick look is amazing. Especially after he warned Drew at the start. "I don't like this Drew I'm scared".

Brilliant.

They gotta get Mr. Ryckert in the studio, or on any video content, as soon as feasibly possible.

IIRC, Dan said it'll happen as soon as his dad gets some vacation time.

Also, we need to get Paul a GAF account
and watch Emcee ban him within a day
 
Brad's pride at not playing console Zeldas for over a decade, smdh.

Broke young Ryckert's heart.

I've been noticing this for a while but Brad takes pride in not playing a lot of things. And not, like, loli vita games, but just normal series. He's very proud of just going "I don't care about this series and haven't played this game."

It's very odd and it's been a trend for a while.
 
With no Brad or Jeff in the room, Dan and Drew were able to reminisce about Rogue Squadron in peace. Ha ha. Jedi Knight 2 and Jedi Academy do light saber combat like no other game. If Dan is a big fan Star Wars, those games definitely stand up after all these years. Though it may require a mod to get it to render in wide screen resolutions.

I look forward to your 1,000 page book on this conspiracy. Where can I pre-order?

Jeff and Brad have been pretty bad about that for years. Vinny always seemed to be the guy who played the most and the widest range of games and he had a kid at home and a job that mostly involved NOT playing games so I dont know how he ever had time for it.

At least they have Dan in the SF office to pick up the slack.

When is Dan bringing Dany to his home for the video stuff ? And what kind of video will they be shooting, exactly ?

No video (it is actually a vacation for them) - maybe the odd Vine or something. Might to a post podcast.

Yup. As much as I dislike the films, it's insane how many fantastic licensed games Star Wars produced.

why does everyone hate my favorite series so much

I love AC2 up until Brotherhood then AC4 and Freedom cry and even I have to say they control like crap, the combat is terrible and the amount of times your character gets stuck to something, or jumps up/down something instead of the other is infurating.

The site design annoys me so much sometimes. The fact that I keep clicking on a review or any other link from the top menu when I go to resume a video is terrible.

yeah I'll admit the combat is straight poop. I just love running around and being in those detailed worlds, though.

Unity's gonna place ahead of Mordor in the top ten list tho so it's all good

The great thing about the current giant bomb is that there's so much content, specially if you are a premium member thanks to Dan. Honestly it feels like too much sometimes, i can't watch it all and play games too. That's why i don't check gamespot too even tough i want to.

The bad thing is that non-subscribers don't really know what they're losing.

But that's a hard problem to solve. What would you do? 5-minute video of the beginning of each premium feature to give a taste of the content? but that's not always the best 5 minutes of a video...

I don't know. I guess Jeff talked about this on a Jar Questions or some other video...

It is hard. Do you do a weekly stream like the CDi stream for free or do you just make every livestream subscriber only.

For podcasts they usually once in a while give an episode of Powerbombcast or Alt F1 for free.

Man civ beyond earth looks like a mediocre mod not a full new game.

After making civ rev 2 on iOS literally just civ rev with nice graphics and now this I've lost faith in the franchise.

I think 2 controlled fine and three introduced the "Leap if you run, do nothing if you don't" mechanic and that REALLY made the game cumbersome to play. AC4 had less running and jumping so it wasn't as prominent an issue.

Yeah it looks really shallow and unpolished (that could be accounted by the fact this was not a final version though).



So I guess the 6180 the Moon quicklook got lost somewhere... I saw the tweet but it's not on the site.
