Throw ads everywhere if you're struggling to keep the lights on, but taking money from the games you're critiquing devalues the integrity of the critique.
The phrase Dan was part remembering was one of Arthur C. Clarke's three law. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
The reason a car is safer than being outside of the car is not because the car cannot be struck - it absolutely can as you read - but the car acts as a faraday cage, so the electricity travels around the metal exterior of the car and not the interior protecting the occupants.
Also, yes Dan, your intuition was right and you absolutely do flick a switch and open a valve to 'tell the battery it's time to go and make the electrons flow' - it's the power switch on the console which completes the circuit - until that point the two ends of the battery are not connected and the electrons don't have anywhere to flow, so they sit there in that unbalanced state.
I also think Dan asked some good questions, like when he held up the mouse and essentially asked "How does matter hold its structure?" go deeper than a laymen could probably answer, but are great questions that he shouldn't be shot down from and an expert added to the mix could answer.
Ah man, such cool people but none of this content appeals to me and isn't the sort of thing I was hoping for when they said they were gonna change it up and do "New and Fresh" content. It isn't like we've already had any series of people playing through souls games on here, except for Load Our Last Souls....
and Breaking Brad: Demon's Souls....
and Breaking Bradborne....
and Jan plays Bloodborne...
but apart from from those 4 shows, this is totally new and fresh content.
The news show sounds like a monologued version of Bombing' in the AM with Scoops and the Wolf, and the guilty treasures sounds like it should be a podcast, but if the staff haven't talked about their guilty pleasure games in years and years of podcasts already, I'd be surprised.
I'm sure it'll do well and appeal to others though, but was really hoping for something a little more left-field.
@eoin18: Hard agree to this. I said in chat at the time "Not cool to use that word, @alex".
I hope it was just ignorance of the hate that comes with the word, and he wouldn't mean to use an ethnic slur. When he accidently dropped an Italian slur a few years back he apologised profusely. Being on this side of the world (miles away of any Italian immigrant communities) I wasn't even aware of that word. So to give the benefit of the doubt I can see him, being in America, not knowing that it's really not okay to call the travelling community this word.
The National Travellers Action Group say's "There is no word more offensive to a traveller."
