By the time he posted that and waited for your reply, he could've just watched the whole thing himself and found out!

Figured that, but since there were no replies on the matter I figure at least one opinion couldn't hurt.

Also Brad's post in that Kingdom Rush thread is great.

Wow, really? Any links/comments from reviewers? Haven't heard about that before.

On the Lobby when they were showing off Unity, the reviewer tried clicking on the microtransaction, but it didn't do anything. And he said, "Oh, that's disabled in this version." He was playing on his review copy of the game.

That's crazy. Do you have a timestamp? I mean there's a whole thread about it and I don't think that got mentioned so far.

edit: Found it at 1:18:30

Premium Thanksgiving sale announced on the Bombcast. Some people were wondering about that earlier here.

Jeff was talking about it on the podcast and assumed/hoped that stuff was somehow a parody of microtransactions because it wasn't clear if you could actually spend real life money on it in the version they had. I think that says a lot about where we're at with this stuff now. They explicitly said that the microtransaction part of it (which they, again, weren't sure was actually a thing when they recorded the podcast) wasn't in the game.

Christ, I hope that's not true or that's shady as all fuck by Ubisoft.

Dan's highschool baseball injury story...WTF WHY WOULD YOU TELL THAT.
Click to expand...

It's pretty telling that my first thought was that the kid who got injured would have been set for life if he had sued the cup manufacturer and the retailer who sold it. That's something a company would pay a shit load of money to settle because they are going to get absolutely reamed by a jury.

There hasn't been a "core" Mario games in nearly 20 years, said Brad Shoemaker.

It was a convoluted argument, but I agree that you could probably separate the old school 2D Mario games from what came after (it wouldn't make much sense to make Mario 64 a numbered sequel to the 2D games). That was all he was saying, really.

You guys were talking about great gaming years or whatever earlier, and I thought about how much love 2001 doesn't get, and it's probably my favorite of all time.

So, Ren and I are gonna do the GOTY thread if that's alright with you guys. We're not going to go completely crazy as I'll try and keep the OP informative and structured. It will contain the links to all the podcasts but also videos, articles, top 10s, etc., you know the drill.

GOTY event significant enough for it's own topic?

It'll be nice to see everything collected together at least.

Like the E3 night shows the Giant Bomb GOTYcasts are pretty significant series of podcasts that pull the curtain back on how video game industry luminaries determine their Game of the Year. /s


Which is to say they do a pretty great job of being transparent about their decision making process and open it up for people to scrutinise (or more likely laugh) at their own leisure.

Daydreaming, if I have one request for the GOTY thread it is that you find a good thread title. Giant Bomb GOTY 2014 alone seems so sparse. Hopefully something about how hard it'll be to find 10 games that are better than Destiny.

edit: Rorie confirmed as fifth chair on next week's Bombcast, mainly to talk about Dragon Age (Brad comment under today's Bombcast).

I gotta say... Not a fan of the new design used for the PM and Notification icons on the site.

I think it's very confusing without the numbers next to it.
