@danryckert@alex@vinny What about a paper hat? Not pleasant, but you also should be able to find a safe paper to eat.

"a new Zelda and a new Mario in the first 8-9 months is nothing to sneeze at."

Thats crazy. 2 games worth buying in the launch calender year? They better show a ton more.

Also imagine buying Splatoon 2 at release and then 3-4 months later, "Hey, pay us 5-10 dollars a month to keep playing."

On that huge Forza patch, according to Neogaf they accidently pushed up a complete developer version with dlc and unreleased cars instead of the intended patch.

@bartok: are you talking about him cutting out all the time? Vinny re-uploaded a fixed version. If your app auto-downloaded it right when it posted you might try re-downloading it.

Do all people from New York pronounce "winch" as "wench"? Or have I been pronouncing it wrong my entire life?

"They just gave me a sticker that smells like grapes when I scratch it, yeah it says 'Grape Job', pretty fucking awesome, me and my 184 points."

We don't deserve Vinny.

@cooljammer00: Yup. They have a break about 45 minutes in where Drew asks people to submit survey answers to http://podsurvey.com/alt for potential ad sponsers. Seems reasonable since they moved the podcast from premium to free.

Regarding the netflix talk, not all movie companies hate them apparently.

That's a pretty big score for Netflix considering how many movies Disney makes.

For those interested in the WW1 talk, Dan Carlin's podcast 'Hardcore History' has a fantastic 5 part series on WW1, entitled Blueprint for Armageddon. While World War 2 seems to be generally viewed as Good (Allies) vs. Evil (Nazis), WW1 is much murkier. Neither side seems really great. So Great Britain/America/Russia/the rest of the Allies, could somewhat justify the horrific casualties in WW2 with, 'well, the Nazi's are surely evil, these young people dying are dying for a good cause, to stop this evil.'. In World War 1, the reasons for war weren't nearly as cut and dried. And when general's threw thousands of lives every day at enemy trenches to gain 100 yards of territory, it does not sit as well in the history books.

Edit: I am an American who has tried my best to understand the world view of the World Wars. If I am incorrect in any of this, please, let me know.

Wow, they weren't kidding, Giant Baba is..... oddly proportioned.
