The Giant Beastcast: Episode 102

Ahhh yeah, some podcasting while working.

May the 4th.. ah nuts too late...

Fantastic!

WONDERFUL!

Splendid!

Stupendous!

Awwwwww Yiss!

good morning duders!

At first I thought they'd be playing as the actual teams

Which would explain why the Thunder wouldn't be there, because you'd had to have 4 "professional eSports" players whose entire role would be passing the ball to and screening for the guy who plays Westbrook

Also, in WoW my raidleader was named Draziwe

It took me like 4 months to realize it was the Alucard version of Ewizard (He was a mage)

May the Cinco be de Mayo.

kinda expected abby to debut here. what gives? :(

So when are we going to get to meet Abby? Surprised she isn't on this.

@onlineatron: She starts on Monday

Here's why they thought Mobas would be easier for sports fans to understand. 5 on 5 teams and the objective is to reach the enemy goal. Add in a similar camera angle to most sports as well.

@robaota: Oh. Oh well.

Love me some Fridays!

Also last week I was downloading an editor for DS1, and the link went to cnet

And as the download started an ad started autoplaying

It was Jeff Bakalar, talking about the Nintendo Switch I think

It really threw me off

Please Bakalar, autoplay videos are bad

Super Merio Kart

Pretty dumb how the Rabbids + Mario game suddenly isn't a rumour just because Kotaku finally made a report 4 months late.

Ooh, I love me a cool vlogger on a hot day.

@chicken008: that's how journalism works, you use sources to prove stories are true.

*COUGH* ROCKETS *COUGH*

"Skoomafax" is the name of my horse.

Not really, but I wish.

BEASTLY!

CINCO DE QUATRO!

I should make some goddamn sangria, shit is delicious if done right. Turns cheap wine into something far better.

Thanks beasters!

In which we learn of Dan Ryckert's Rabbids Segregationist Views.

some mother******* breadcrumbs!

Ha - how funny. I submitted a very similar email to the bombcast this in relation to streaming consent laws (unfortunately it did not get read).

Beyond the harassment issues, I also think the profits from streaming introduce a fold in all this. Streamers are making money off their content. Could someone on a stream if they play a role in the popularity of a video argue they deserve a portion of that money? Do we live in a world where Handibot can take legal action?

Unlikely, but still something interesting to think about.

Never get drunk with family.

@vinny Alex is right when he says he could survive outside of the blue zone but the damage it does scales up as the circle gets smaller. So when it's really small you'll only last a couple of seconds.

@elwaldorf: That's my point. It was reported with sources in November last year by LetsPlayVideoGames.

Rats off to ya!

Same. :-(

@gamerpigeon: Next week is what they said on the new hires post.

@l33t_haxor: @onlineatron: She doesn't start until next week, duders.

I thought sangria was like a margarita or something.

I love Internet Dan!

There's a lot more Rabbid hate out there than I was aware of.

GNU is pronounced "new", and that last correction makes a lot more sense when you replace "My Little Pony" with "Linux".

I still have no idea where the email came from though!

Thanks beastcrew for getting me through another shitty day.

Wow this sounds fucked up. Both here and on iTunes. Like it was exported at half speed. I'm surprised no one else has commented on this.

Dan can remember Nabbit, but not War. I know you're just messing with us, but I do spend more time than I should yelling at my phone. War never changes.

@dgtlty: Because for many people it probably was normal. I didn't have any trouble with it.

@chicken008: From that time, the rumor was still unverified and might as well be considered as wholly unconfirmed. Furthermore, not only didn't you check the date (Laura reported that during the 18th of November 2016), which makes the source almost 6 months old and not 4 as you wrote.

Also it goes to show that you don't actually read Kotaku at all since then you would've understand that about 1/3 of the entire report there was about Laura (and others) reporting to the rumors almost half a year earlier and that she wasn't even the first to report on it, but a french video game related website, but nobody cares about them, am I right?

Not to be too rude but its almost like you don't even care about the integrity of fact-checking itself, from what I understand, Kotaku is more impactful because they actually have screenshots that verify and confirm the existence of the game, while LPVG had "sources at Ubisoft and Nintendo" which counts as a different type of source obviously.

@dgtlty: Duder, something is up with the computer or device you are listening with. This episode is normal speed and glitch-free.

Check your My Little Pony kernel...

I am shocked they've never ran into the GNU/Linux copypasta before.

@vinny@alex If you wanna go thru Persona 5's story without bothering to grind, you could change the difficulty to Safe mode (but you can't switch back, doesn't affect trophies or anything).

Or when the boss battles get too difficult, just switch to Easy mode, then you can switch back to Normal mode later on.
