I noticed the springiness with Elite 2 for the first time while playing Vampire Survivors and it drove me crazy trying to control weapons that fire the direction you're facing.
Sad to see how Immortality got treated. I watched some streams of it a while back and decided it wasn't for me, but it would have been interesting to hear a couple people who are somewhat positive on the game discuss it with someone who hates it. Oh well.
Jan, you're great, but those shoes were so gross looking, some real Yeezy rejects. Still better than my actual Yeezys that I can't wear in good conscience anymore.
Cancelled premium - still going to hit up content here but I’m absolutely not paying any money if this is how feedback is going to be taken.
I put some time into looking into why there is so much hate towards this person, and I just couldn't find anything. I honestly don't even know what the accusations are, other than vague mentions of some sort of abuse in a reddit thread, after spending a half hour scouring the internet. I did the same thing when Abby had them on The Beastcast, and couldn't find anything. I'm not on twitter, but if they were so reprehensible it must have made its way to other places, right?
I'd sincerely like to know what this person is accused of doing that makes them so toxic to parts of the GB audience because I couldn't figure it out myself.
It appears to be quite popular. I'll be interested to see how he keeps the format fresh episode to episode, especially with the episodes being so long. I was happy to see him switch gears with the wine moms bit. He's obviously super talented, but balancing out new content between his own channel and his GB features sounds like a nightmare. Either way, I'm here for it.
I'm sure it's 100x as much trouble for production but I really prefer UPF as a variety show-and-tell format. If the stream is 1 game and it's something not personally interesting for me or with real sour vibes like OW I don't really want to tune in.
The hyrule hustle was a really fun idea/stream but I definitely have always felt like UPF is the show that covers a lot of the games that fall through the cracks because of the variety.
Yeah, I think I'm with you on that. I enjoyed the Hyrule Hustle because that's a game I'm really into, but I haven't touched Overwatch in years and mostly had no idea what was happening during this stream. I'd rather see an Overwatch 2 Playdate separate from UPF, ideally.
Hey Jan, maybe a good idea would be to just read out the tutorial prompts to the audience so you don't keep skipping half of them.
This. Compared to other From games this one is very good at telling you where to go, why you're going there, and when to do it. He chalked up the whole Buddha sequence to From being weird, but the bell item description that took up his entire screen told him to do it, the old lady who gave him the bell told him to do it, and her son told him to do it, but he skipped through all of it. I'd much prefer he engage with the game rather than ask chat what to do every 15 minutes.
I thought the video layout was really smart. Ideal for presenting two streams of different dimensions at once. I also thought Dan sounded like he always sounds. He can be loud sometimes and (as someone who knows nothing about production) the crew here seems to know how to handle those extremes. Great video.
