The Giant Beastcast: Episode 170

Unavowed is still interesting! Dead Cells is still interesting! Siege is still interesting? Sure! We've got games, we've got not games, we've got game news, and we've got a jacket.

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!

@avantegardener: fun fact we went over in my World Religions class today!

Turns out recently we’ve determined that Jesus was born closer to 4 AD. Too late to change it now, since we fucking use it to determine what year it is but fun knowledge to have.

Our Julian and Gregorian calendar is wildly political anyway, The days of week, the months of year, it's ironically all non-christian personal branding.

Surely the framed picture of Jeff that Dan poses with should be the one from Thirteen Deadly Sins

I probably spent as much time playing Pazaak in Kotor as I did the main story.

wait.. Dan likes Tetra Master? The cardgame which values represent a range of different values and then pick 2 values in those ranges at random to decide who wins a battle? To the extent where a card with a 2 can beat a card with an 8 on it.

No offense, people like what they like. But man, that's a bad cardgame i feel. There's a reason people still talk about Triple Triad when hardly anyone remembers Tetra Master fondly. In Triple Triad, the values on the card are the actual values.

I have some good memories of Friends, but don't remember thinking it was super hilarious. It was just one of those shows that's always a good time to put on in the background and has some lighthearted comedic bits but also some plotmoments that are captivating enough to spread across multiple episodes. And with all these distinct characters available to slot into the main role of an episode, fans of each friend get their fair share of episodes to care about.
