Your hands animate so slowly when climbing in dying light, it's kinda weird. Like here in the quicklook. Also the voice audio seems out of sync but maybe that's just a capture problem, same for all that nasty aliasing.

Still probably gonna buy it eventually.

Alex is a million times better in general than he used to be.

Edit: This sounds strangely aggressive, but it's supposed to be a good thing.

I think doing the morning show with Patrick really helped him get used to talking publicly. It may have also helped it wasn't with Jeff where he was trying to keep up with his wit, which often happened when he used to be on with Jeff and Ryan.

I don't think Alex is really all that different from how he's always been.

I think he comes across a bit more confident in general, probably just through having more experience, but I never really had a problem with him to begin with.

The PAX panel was kinda nothing though, it was basically just revisiting some of the off-topic stuff they already did on the podcast.
 
Alex can be one of the funniest people on the site, but you have to have a taste for very, very dry/sarcastic humor.

We also both love Kids in the Hall so we might have similar tastes in comedy.

It's not hard to make basic, delicious mashed potatoes. Boil some fresh potatoes til they're soft enough to mash. Drain them, add some butter and salt, some milk if you're looking for really mushy potatoes, and mash away.

I've never eaten kfc mashed potatoes, but do they taste like potatoes or are they a vehicle for butter and salt? I feel like your enjoyment of home made mashed potatoes really depends on your ability to enjoy fresh produce without a bunch of additives. For example, I could eat a baby potato straight out the pan and find it delicious without adding anything to it. Same goes for a lot of vegetables.

e: this is based on the pax panel in case anyone thinks I'm just talking about potatoes for no reason
 
Not sure what Rorie is on about, i think the visuals on Dying Light look pretty great

The game as presented in their video looked like complete dog shit, but everything that runs at 720 looks like shit so it's not necessarily the game but their particular set up which they acknowledge.

I am sure he was always been the same in person - he has just improved a lot on camera. His screened stuff was always okay but he used to try too hard when he was on a public panel or with the other GB guys. No doubt doing a video podcast twice a week got his confidence way up.

Dying light looks good but fuck the Europe delay :(

I know right? I had this game written off because I didn't like Dead Island but it looks kinda fun.

I just rolled my eyes so hard, I think I sprained something.
 
you trust Capcom to do something right in the West?

Oh i agree that capcom on its own doesn't probably know what 2+2 is but i hope Sony can convince them to release it to the west

So, is the framerate in the Dying Light ql representative of the actual game on ps4?

I was watching Greg Millers stream yesterday it was smooth but the Playstation access video only showed one big fps drop in a situation with hundreds of zombies.

Hopefully DF can tell us more

Doing everything I can to not think about DDO. Too burnt by PSO2.

Not doing a very good job though, I sneaked a peek at the scans.

Capcom pls.

why are you expecting every fire from another company to be a potential new hire for GB?

It's not a fire, it's a website shutting down.

Jeff is looking for an experienced news writter. There isn't that many of those available in general. Now there's a couple more on the market since this morning news about Joystiq shutting down.
