I disagree a little here, while Sony's conference showed a little more games than the Microsoft one, it was mostly about what makes the PS4, the PS4. It focused the most part of its conference on system hardware and looked to entice game developers to its console. Both conferences will more than likely focus more on the game aspect of things. I'd say Sony may show a little less of the games, because they still have to reveal what the system looks like. MS' conference may divide its focus on the service side of things rather than more on the game side. It may just be up to the publishers to show off the brunt of the games as I don't think there will be as many console exclusives from big publishers like before. Console exclusives may end up being timed exclusive DLC, or the courting of indie developers to put their games on their service.

The internet.

Hot damn! All that needs to be said has now been said.

Sorry I hate to be that guy, but it's actually Chi-town.

Also this is just me, but I wouldn't call any of the GB crew lazy to do things as we don't know 100% of what they do day-to-day.

To single this one part out. Whiskey Media was pretty unsustainable. GB, obviously out of all the 5 websites, was the one bringing in the audience and the one that brought in most subscriptions. All of them were planned to be pretty huge websites and they were. This transition to CBSi probably has so much more going on behind-the-scenes than we could know. One of the cool things about WM was that it was small and family-like and information could be shared a lot more easily. Being owned corporately now, there has to be stuff they can't tell us or it has to wait a lot longer to be told. I also imagine since being corporately-owned Jeff and probably Ryan as well get pulled into meetings a lot more.

What the site does need is something like Radio Dave to happen again. Something that is transparent and lets us know what is happening with the site and whatnot. I wish it was monthly, which I think Radio Dave was supposed to be. Hopefully with the lack of games in summertime and now that they are setup and settled in, they can do this sort of thing and provide more content.

If Vinny leaves, all I wanna say is...

No tears, only dreams...

I thought Versus 13 was already a Sony exclusive..

Also FF Versus 13 is FF15 which is FF7-2 because 7-2 = 7.5 and 7.5 x 2 = 15 which FF15 is FF Versus 13.

It's a small team, I believe only one person is doing all the heavy work. It's also a seemingly complicated game. So be patient, because games take forever to make. Think of the guy who made Dust: An Elysian Tale, even though it was his first game, it took him like 3-4 years to complete that game all by himself. Fez took forever as well.

Chris Hecker, the developer of Spy Party, recently tweeted that the game is about two years from completion. So, 2015 is the best guess. As to what is taking him so long, it's really only one guy working on it as I said.

So Avatar: The Last Airbender...

I would love to see the Red Hood, Star Fire, Brainiac, Martian Manhunter, but most of all I want..

MODOK (even though he's a Marvel character)

ESports is basically video games played by professional players who are also payed. Certain games like Starcraft (BW and SC2) and League of Legends are probably the most popular of the games that are played professionally. If you like these games and like to watch high level of play of these games, then esports are for you. E-sports is still in its building block stages so don't expect it any time soon to be broadcasted on TV, most organizations are focusing on having people watching online if they can't make live events and since online watching is becoming the new TV that's where the focus is.

You don't have to care like you don't have to care about watching other sports like football (both kinds) basketball, or baseball. It's just like that.

If you say esports is dumb and people shouldn't be payed to play, then that is exactly the same thing as saying people should not be payed to play other professional sports. It's all entertainment and ostensibly, people playing at the professional level are doing something most other people can't do. Anyone can play a video game and be good at it, and anyone can play another sport well and be good at that, but like on the podcast there's a plateau where some people can surpass and just be better than everyone else.
