What I've learned so far today is that Giant Bomb is part of a conspiracy, their studio lights are so powerful that they also cause Austin (another conspirator) to have PSVR issues, and that Jeff got nauseous because he is fat.

Your hardcore nexus of video game news has spoken.

You should really listen to a podcast called "PS I Love You" from people who refuse to cover PC games for accurate and 100% objective views on the current state of VR.

The extremely frustrating controls of holding down a button?
Click to expand...

You can't hit start to pause and the button I'm holding is often not the one I want. I've been trying to use the slider, but that's too unreliable. Using the d-pad is very uncomfortable, though. I've messed up on nearly every puzzle but I've only had a couple times where it was due to something other than having a different button/direction selected than the one I wanted. The game itself is fairly easy even on Hard, so that makes it even more frustrating.

Sorry, but it's absolutely user error if you keep hitting the wrong button on nearly every puzzle.

Known Xbox employee Geoff Gallagher is intentionally sobotaging My Personal Friend Sony on camera while stock market manipulator Don Rickety is in the background shorting shares of Sony for insane profits that will be shared directly to Master Bill Gates.

It's not an issue that I've ever had with a picross game. Considering the fact that you're also timed, it's bizarre that they don't let you pause with the start button. The Zelda picross game I got free through the rewards program is better in every way except number of puzzles.

What a stream. Enjoyed it, but man, if you didn't feel Jeff and the others pain as a whole with the tracking stuff which is a bummer. I gif'd shit tons of material in the thread so you guys could go check it out.

Also, there are some very amusing and funny replies so, you wouldn't want to miss out on that as well. I'm going to just sleep now because I feel like my eyes aren't tracking right anymore.

They got the eyes to put on the VR headset, but Jeff didn't want to create any more issues with tracking.

Yeah, Jason gave'em out to put on the VR headset but I could understand where Jeff was coming from. That shit was frustrating from the moment they began.

How frequently are you pausing that the pause function being on the touchscreen is such a big deal to you? Pausing is not like painting or breaking, which are constantly in use and therefore mapped to buttons. It's something you do like a thousand times less than the other stuff.

Other picross games, like Zelda picross, have less complexity in terms of available actions, so maybe that's why you can't seem to grasp 3D 2 without constantly hitting the wrong button. Keep practicing, I guess?

So Jeff is liking Gears 4. Sounds promising.

Dan hates the new Paper Mario combat system. Man, how did Nintendo fuck that up. Why can't they make them play like the old games?

has anyone tested what dan was asking on the bombcast about the play anywhere stuff?

I want to buy gears 4 digitally if reviews pan out. My wife wants to play on the xbox and I want to play on PC. if it's bought on my account and she plays on her account, is this possible?

Bahahah! The UPS dude was so goddamn confused! I kept laughing because when I said "Vinny, Care of Ella" I immediately realized Tiamatsword22 was fucking with me when I asked about their address (or maybe not? I don't know, haha). That the UPS guy also put Giant Balm instead of Bomb is fucking amazing though, considering I showed him a screenshot of the addresses in the first post. .

That slight movement is super disorienting. If I just jump with the Vive, when I hit the floor it causes the lighthouses to shake just a little and it's immediately uncomfortable even for that split second. I can't imagine that general swimminess all the time.

Considering it's a pattern now, they don't want to. It's not like Yoshi's Island where they try and fail to make another good one.

I just assumed Care of Ella was a joke about Frozen and the Shenmue video. Is Ella a Frozen character? I feel like that's probably true.

I guess Danny needs to stay around SF and eventually NY to talk to devs for his documentaries or whatever but man if I was a popular streamer or yotuuber? The FIRST thing I'd do is move to somewhere cheaper to live. I'm always surprised when I see the big youtubers that live in like Manhattan when they could do their job from anywhere and save way more money.

The smarter ones move to Florida or Texas where there's no state income tax.

John Wick is seriously overhyped by the usual suspects. The same people who roll on about sriracha, bacon, cupcakes, or whatever the latest Internet thing is.

Man people love to shit on GB whenever they have the chance. It's bummer luck that they got two faulty headsets and are unable to easier prove that it's not just their setup as people keep insisting. Conveniently them trying different distance/lighting configurations along with other outlets reporting similar problems doesn't factor in.
