Trials: Fusion?

More like Trials: Snoozin' mirite? Yaiam

I like to imagine the Small Businessman as an actual pixie-like small businessman, and he always has so much trouble because he is so tiny.

EDIT: Also, that Pringles email is INCREDIBLE.

I have noticed literally no framerate issues in Trials on PS4 and I've put about 3-4 hours in so far.

Unfarted

The email beef just makes me want to skip the last chunk of the bombcast nowadays.

you guys...the nintendo DS is now older than what the gameboy pocket was when the DS came out!

Is he Mr. Conductor's cousin?

Totally just stole the Game Boy box art for my Twitter icon.

Also, I have both a Dual Shock 4 with a finicky R1 and a 360 controller (the cool one with the rotating d-pad, of course) with a drifting left stick.

I don't think we're going to hear too much legit pro-banker support in the beef zone next week.

The email beef went from being funny to just now being assholes writing in and complaining. At least I can trust Jeff to not put people on the air who are just complete trash, but some of the last ones are getting close.

@straightgrizzly: Totally true, too.

Not sure why, but I lost it at "Unfarted" as much as Vinny did.

Punmaster comes out unexpected times.

Ah the Gameboy!! Those were the black and yellow colored days xD

Wait, Brad got a dinner reservation for 5pm? Does everyone in America eat dinner that early?

No other site would end a gaming-related podcast with discussion of the cost of munitions followed by an Outkast quote.

That image makes me want to watch Robocop.

If I listen to this on Wednesday, is it actually Tuesday?

I could complain about people who complain about other people, but I already did that joke. So I'll counter-program with e-mails that were actually fun.

That is why he said he could "only" get a reservation at 5, even months ahead, because 5pm is not a good time for a reservation, or a standard time to eat dinner. I would say between 6 and 8 o'clock is an average time for us, and I would guess the rest of the globe as well.

"They both tear like a mother" wasn't the greatest choice of words, Jeff.

I know this is a way stupid complaint, but I totally miss the 3 hour+ podcasts. Here's hoping they wind up with enough to talk about that it happens soon.

Hello small business men, thank you for the podcast yeah? Yeah..

Maybe if you're above the age of 50. Then if you're over the age of 65 you're probably going at 4PM.

wait, in the US an entrée is the main course? WTF. Entrée is the starter, literally 'entrance' to the meal.

Vinny, you do NEED to take the tram to get to Roosevelt Island. A subway stops there

Crazy Conspiracy Theory Incoming! : Per the discussion of Trials Fusion...ahem...REDLYNX DELIBERATELY MADE THIS GAME CRAPPY SO THAT PLAYSTATION FANS WOULDN'T BUY IT THEREBY JUSTIFYING THEIR REAL DESIRE TO KEEP THE FRANCHISE AN XBOX EXCLUSIVE. YOU'LL SEE! THE NEXT GAME WON'T BE ON PS4 AND IT'LL BE AWESOME! Thank you for your time.

The duders Gameboy

What a weird coincidence, I just saw the Nostalgia Critic episode about Captain N yesterday, prior to that I would have no idea what they were talking about.

I've eaten dinner at 5pm my entire life, I think it's nuts to eat dinner at like 7pm. Thats it, time to write an e-mail and call all you mofo late eaters out on this!

I completely lost it about three times during the podcast, Which was really bad as i was driving at the time.

nonelectronics still RELEVANT! I got a green backlight!

SMALL BUSINESS MAN

Crunchwrap of hate!

@jeff As I've understood it Interplay and their subsidiary Olde Sküül are working on updating Descent 3 and the other games in the series for modern systems, with Steam achievements and multiplayer and all that stuff. Kinda weird of them to release them on Steam before they were done with it, the stuff they put out are the GOG releases without the GOG extras, but with all GOG's files still in the install folders, and only barely hooked up to the Steam client - there are GOG files to set up DosBox multiplayer for Descent 1 and 2 in the install folders, change DosBox's graphics options etc., but these options aren't visible in Steam.

There are command line options to make the Steam version of Descent 3 run in widescreen resolutions though, there's an option in the Descent 3 launcher to add launch options, just type -width 1920 -height 1080 -aspect 1.78 in there and you'll get it running in HD.

I hope we won't have to wait all that long until they put versions that completely work out of the box though.

@yummylee: Yeah, I definitely heard some echo or reverb-ish effect. Thought it was just my headphones.

Where's Brooklyn at? Oh it's right here lets move in.

#Gentrified

The only thing you're eating for dinner on the Bombcast is BEEEEEF.

Same here. I've played to the point where I have the extreme tracks unlocked(only been able to beat one of them so far), and I haven't noticed any framerate stuff.

I like Cel Damage

The shows @vinny was talking about ARE the new professional wrestling. They're for the type people who wanted to believe pro wrestling was real in the 80's. I was just waiting for one of the crew to discover that Amish Mafia or Appalachian Outlaws shit. Those shows are truly something special.

I'll be your friend Vinny
