Jeff seems to have a way of picking all the weirdest, most dangerous roommates he can. I think he does it deliberately, for the thrill man, for the thrill.

I've noticed that both the PS4 and XBox One allow you to play games after only downloading a small portion and continue downloading in the background.

This has got me thinking:

  1. Is there a proper title or name for this feature?
  2. Should there be a Wiki page for games and platforms that allow this?
  3. What was the first game that ever included this feature? My first experience was during the WoW: Cataclysm Beta.

Here's to hoping that Steam will allow this too, I find it super useful, especially as someone with Australian internet.

@darji: If endless years of "WHEN'S THE NEXT ENDURANCE RUN???!!!!" has taught me anything it's that you can't force anything on the GB boys, they'll do an ER when they're good and ready and if anything asking for one makes it that much less likely. Honestly, despite loving Endurance Runs I have to respect that.

Everything I know about cricket I learned from Hitchhiker's Guide and stereotypical British characters saying that various things are "just not" it.

In fact, I operate under the impression that wide swaths of the average British person's time is spent telling people what is and what is not cricket. Turns out there are quite a lot of things that aren't. (mind you, my best friend that I've known for over a decade now is Australian, and to this day I choose to believe that he eats nothing but vegemite and prawns after a hard day of tracking crocodiles and wallabies, so I may not be the best source of reliable cultural behavior information)

As somebody who genuinely loves Cricket I look forward to this QL immensely, listening to Jeff and Vinny talk about Cricket (something I assume they know nearly nothing about) while playing a HORRIBLE cricket game is going to be absolutely hilarious.

Wow, what an absolutely gorgeous track; C418 never ceases to amaze. It's been really cool to see the tributes that are still popping up around the place for Ryan, just reinforces how much of an impact he really had.

@boocreepyfootdoctor: Murderers kill people so me breaking in to your house is nothing. I'm pretty sure you'd still call the cops if I stole your TV duder.

Anyway, if the DDoS was targeted at Extra Life that's mega-fucked. Some people are suggesting that the attack was on a data center that also happened to service Extra Life so it may be collateral damage which would be cold comfort I'm sure.

The way I see it if anything this is just going to make people more passionate about the cause which is a good thing.

Guys I heard Sony is introducing a secret feature which is going to make it impossible for Giant Bomb to do Endurance Runs on the PS4. I learned about it from a source inside Sony and I can't talk about it any more. Also, one time a PS4 got so hot it turned into plasma and burned to the core off the Earth, came out the other side and then destroyed every YouTube server which hosts every gaming video on the site.

PS. Gies annoys me because of reasons. Something about Rebel FM.

PPS. The internet is stupid.
