Obviously this is a huge loss and nobody knows exactly what the future of the site will look like, but I've always appreciated that Jeff seems like the type to say fuck a graceful fade-out and leave e...

The first piece of GB content I ever encountered was Brad's glowing BK Nuts and Bolts review, and I immediately thought: man, this guy gets it. Turns out it was the gateway into a whole gaggle of dude...

@madaboutpandas: Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Your points are well-taken, and I've ended up at a place where I pretty much agree. I'll edit my posts to be less flip about the granularity of the bo...

@ignatz27: Good point re: the Murdoch quote.Yeah, the discussion in this thread has convinced me that my initial reaction was founded in a conception of IP that just isn't really relevant to this part...

@dr_mel: Totally agree that modern copyright laws are insane, and that in general it's cool for works to incorporate and be in conversation with stuff that came before. It's just that when it so direc...

The story of the man encountering a gate on a road is very clearly a retelling of a Franz Kafka story (Kafka's story ends when the guard informs the man the gate is made only for him, so all the bird ...

I'll echo a sentiment expressed by Jeff B in one of the prior New Year's Beastcast specials and say I don't know how anyone plays TTRPGs without Austin Walker. He always gives a masterclass in meeting...

GOTY so far. Hard to see anything topping it. The amount of care that went into every asset and design decision really shines.

Wow, congrats on making it happen!! Asking on behalf of the world for the next series to be "Fortnite with a safe, effective, and easily distributed covid vaccine."

That first run of the dolls scenario belongs in a museum.

I will never understand how simply listening to others state their opinions can make people so frustrated and anxious. The calculus on this stuff is different for everyone. Some GB staff say there's m...

That was a neat little thing. Great sound design!

Haven't listened yet, but figured what the hell, I'll jump in on the Ranking of Zeldas mentioned in the description.1. Majora's Mask2. Ocarina of Time3. Breath of the Wild4. Link's Awakening5. Link Be...

I wasn't familiar with Merritt K before this episode, and can't speak to what she did or didn't do. But I will say the combo of that episode description and producer's note is extremely dissonant."Get...
