@gundato: Just tell those Brits that they invented the term.

Three ways, rubbers, tuck ins, and this is a very dirty Quick Look.

I'd love to see Danny stream this and try to get a great crash to happen in the game.

Good stuff from the European Sports Editor at Giant Bomb.

Enjoying this a lot, though I'm curious what the cadence is since they need to get through all of the games and it seemed like this was a weekly thing from the intro.

You can tell that Vinny and the others left since it's just 01 for the season and episode numbers and not 001.

I think Jeff B underestimates the suddenness of how quickly things can go bad if you're not expecting that stuff, especially in settings like a pool where a bathroom maybe isn't that close by.

I'll give this a shot, but I'm guessing that this show won't be for me since I don't care about rumor shit and am happier not diving deep into all of these leaks and insider stuff. I think my limited podcast would be better spent on the shows I already listen to.

Mario Golf's story mode was with a human character as you played golf, upgraded skills, and took on more matches, so it looks like this Mario Golf game is finally doing what fans have wanted since the first game.

I'd like to see the next one of these streams make Alex have to say one nice thing about each song.

I do like that when Alex gets mad that a bad song is added to Rock Band, he doesn't just move on, he buys it so that he has to suffer later.

You guys are a bit off on the MLB stuff. Sony doesn't have an exclusive license for MLB games. 2K Sports signed a third-party exclusivity deal with the MLB after the NFL went exclusive with EA, which killed third-party MLB games until 2K let the deal expire after bleeding money for years. Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft were free to make MLB games and Nintendo was the only other company to work on a game, but cancelled it at some point. That just leaves Sony as the only company making baseball games with nobody else being that interested in making an MLB game, which put them in the same situation as EA with the NHL games with no competition and exclusivity by default. That's just how it is these days since sports gamers tend to not support competition and never move from one franchise to any competitors that exist.

If the MLB is fine with having no games, they can force Sony out of the deal they just signed recently and probably ensure nobody wants to deal with them in the future. Either way, they'd have no big games for a few years and even then, it would probably be an NBA Live-style situation where it takes a while to get the game to a good place.

Also, the games do way better than the NHL games since they tend to chart highly for their launch month and a month or two after that. It's been a steady increase over the past few iterations.
