it's good in the sense that listening to jeff talk about and answer questions is always good. but i personally have a cringe issue with listening to call-in shows and the chance for totally terrible/awkward questions that has to do with my own anxiety so i guess ti depends
---

omg I super get that feeling too, I get ridiculously tense/anxious until they hang up. I'm glad Jeff started getting really good about saying "thanks for your question" as soon as possible in the last few call in shows I've seen 'em do
---

haven't been able to listen to the bombcast yet but were their super early Destiny 2 iimpressions good or bad
---

Pax Panel is up

Steal my Sunshine episode 1 is public.

I....can't watch it. I've started to realize I'm completely incapable of watching people be bad at video games without getting annoyed, and Abby.....yikes.

I haven't even been able to even bring myself to watch that Cuphead video everyone is talking about.
---

If you can't watch people be bad at games, then that means you can't watch any giant bomb video.
---

There are tiers. Brad is bad at a lot of games but that's incomparable.

Finally watched the Cuphead video, that thing is....they shouldn't have uploaded that footage.

Ben showed some real platforming skill in the knack 2 quick look

The ultimate example of Brad is bad at games is him playing sonic Mania on his hot summer stream last week

Basically there's just a world of difference between "this person is bad" and "this person is acting like they've never held a controller before". Brad is bad at Sonic, but he knows what button you push to jump.

And then there's the Cuphead video which, if I didn't know better, would 100% say was a fake made by some shit on 4chan as a troll video about Game Journalists.
---

brad playing sonic mania, is the only time I've ever had watching video games, where I actually had to turn it off
---

when he tried to play knuckles like he was playing Ninja Gaiden 1 on NES is when I came to this decision
---

Yeah, Brad was bad at Sonic, but it's clear he hasn't played a Sonic game since Sonic 2 came out.

Also the game never explains Knuckles' abilities. They just expect you to have played S&K
---

Dan Ryckert's L.A. Noire coming to PS4, Xbone, and Switch.
---

Okami HD coming to XB1, PS4, and PC.

oh nice, I've been wanting to replay okami

West of Loathing looks so good.

lightning storm in the SF area yesterday night.
---

Who was it that got the postcard read on the beastcast? Was that Tony or someone else?
---

A couple weeks ago Vinny read my postcard about my son, Vinny!
---

About how long was it between sending it and them reading it? Want to send a postcard to them and try to time it so it is read on a certain Friday
---

I sent it on a Monday with the 2-3 day priority express (it cost me $6), and it was read that week.
---

Cool. I guess I know when i need to send it then. Thanks
---

Brad already getting super defensive about Destiny 2's issues on the Bombcast.
---

When Brad started gushing about Destiny 2 on the Bombcast, I started having traumatic flashbacks about GotY 2014.

also during it, he said "people are messaging me on Twitter asking "do you even like the game?"

The fuck? How could anyone not tell that Brad is head over heels in love again?
---

I just really hope they talk less about Destiny 2 than they did the first one.

but it's a potential goty if it didn't have this list of problems that Destiny 1 also had
---

Doesn't matter, calling it now that Brad will be fighting tooth and nail for Destiny 2.

If I had to pick an accomplice, Ben will be right there with him.
---

Lol the thing that Brad was defending as an intentionally bad UI element to encourage better communication was confirmed as a bug.
---

Good to hear brad fighting the good fight

I think they're all just hoping PUBG actually releases this year

Although I'm hoping Dan flips his stance that BotW is the greatest game he's ever played, yet PUBG is his GotY because he played it more

That makes no sense and by it's very nature you're going to end up playing PUBG more because it's a multiplayer game. It defintiely deserves to be in the conversation though I think it's #2 for me currently if it comes out of early access this year.. It's a lot of fun especially with friends, but it's also a technical mess and not a full game.

but also of what I've played of Super Mario Odyssey I wouldn't be surprised if it blows away both of those games for me.

Kerbal
---

surprise surprise it's premium content like absolutely everything else GBE does. This one is particularly heinous, since Kerbal used to be a free series.

Since they didn't read my email, here's my stats.

Premium content makes up 73% of the stuff GBE produces. Take out quick looks and it's 98%
GBW is 42% with 57% minus quick looks. QLs make up roughly the same percentage of each office's total output, so it's not like West has twice as many QLs and that's what's affecting the numbers.
---

What?
---

premium content from the premium office

makes sense to me
---

Oh, I thought that was from the comments section for the video
---

Nah, just my own righteous indignation
---

There was literally just a membership sale.

$35 for a year is less than $3 a month.

You can't spare $3 a month to support content creators who you like enough to get this upset over?
---

i cannot imagine caring enough about GB to put all that together while still not wanting to pay for premium

what is there to be righteously indignant about? content costing money?

come on
---

I'm very surprised they didn't read that email.

Top of the page, Save My Sunshine is still great.

Mario Sunshine is great in all formats
