The Giant Beastcast: Episode 229

A chill is in the air! It could be the time of year, but it’s probably Jeff’s haunted pinball machine. Video games are also happening, so we talk about John Wick Hex, Deliver Us the Moon, Ghost Recon Breakpoint, and more details about the PlayStation 5!

The Giant Bomb East team gathers to talk about the week in video games, their lives, and basically anything that interests them. All from New York City!

Oct. 11 2019

Cast: Vinny, Alex, Dan, Mike, JERF

The way they talked about couch Co op games being played remotely on steam sounds like they have never heard about share play on Ps4. Share play works great so I'm sure steam will be good too.

@logan3: and queue Dan’s mandatory vow of silence whenever anything remotely political is being discussed.

I'm not going to fight anyone over it, but I can't jibe with anyone who gets nuggets as a side.

This can only mean he's a racist or homophobe.

@tacotransrights: Sorry about that. I wrote something snarky thinking you were being derogatory towards trans people with your user name.

I don’t think Dan is either homophobic or racist. I’ve just never seen anyone so absolute in their avoidance of anything slightly political.

I'm not sure how Alex has had so many bad experiences in Apex. I have 400 hours in that game and I think I remember maybe one or two times where someone was toxic. Maybe a lot of people reported Alex and he got put into the shadow toxic queue or something.

@shorap: I'm proud of Dans Silence. He, like many of us know is not very informed when it comes to such things. So instead of him coming off sounding ignorant or idiotic on such a serious topic, he stays out of it. I'm sure he's listening though and learning. If there's one thing I've noticed about Dan, for as much as he comes off as dumb, he's willing to learn. And that's awesome.

Also: kudos to the beast crew for giving this type of news the talk it deserves. The bombcast unfortunately wasn't able to talk about it as in depth.

@luciddreams117: Being silent about something you’re uninformed about is fine but it’s not like this news broke mid-Beastcast. The others knew enough to discuss it which means he might not be as willing to learn as you think or he may choose not to discuss anything political so as to not scare off potential Air Force Gator book buyers :)
