The Giant Beastcast: Episode 171

This podcast means it’s Friday! Woohoo!!

Gross, who calls it a "pod"?

Oh noes, the inmates have taken over.

Rainbow Six is very good

Oh yesh

Oh yesh

Abby awarded Best Farter Ever in extremely biased poll

@danryckert Donut County works well on iOS, you drag to move the hole and tap to catapult stuff. But the game is really light on gameplay, more for you to enjoy the silly characters and Trashopedia, just like MGS 1 - 4.

We miss you Vinny!

Hell yeah Abby, repping Transistor. My favourite Super Giant game.

Oh Shit! Mum and Dad are on vacation and they said no parties guys!

Aaaah, Aaaah, Aaaah, Aumm, Aaaah.

Has anyone told Abby she can use the controller of her choice on a PC? Shes always saying she can't get into PC games like there's a difference.

Plenty of people say you need to play 1000 hours of dota to have any idea what you're doing in it and they are all wrong.

@ybbaaabby DO NOT BUY THE STARTER EDITION OF SIEGE. It's a rip-off and a colossal grind, just buy the standard edition.

@alex
There is a blu-ray of the 1988 version of The Blob. Amazon US. I have this version and can confirm that it does work with Region A machines even though it is labeled as Region B. Enjoy.

Warning for listeners, the R:6 Siege Starter Edition (for 15$) puts you at a major disadvantage just to get the basic operators, you're probably better off buying the standard edition.

(Google it for more details!)

I got exhausted from reading the episode description, will have to recover first and then listen to the podcast later today.

Transistor has been on my backlog forever. It's always the next game I'll play but something else gets in the way.

Alex is really good at hosting!

Y’all broke my headphones with the email intro. I demand 50 puddles as tribute.

Welcome to the "everything is better on Switch" podcast!

"Did you find it on the street with trash."

"Yes."

"Cool."

"Yeah, cool. I know."

I lost it.

I'm from Jacksonville and I didn't here about this.

I was listening in the car and whatever frequency it was at, things started to vibrate. I swear all 4 wheels left the road for a second...

Activity base work spaces are a crime. My workplace we're not even supposed to sit at the same space everyday... It's ridiculous.

Alex was a strong, confident host and kept the show moving at a good pace. I like the job he did here.

Transistor has a huge amount of depth in its systems and one of the most intriguing worlds in video games, but you barely get to explore either before the game reaches its premature end. It's worth playing despite this, though, and it's a beautiful game.

There's been a number of shows based on Mega Man. On top of the old cartoon series that they spoke of, there have been OVA's and anime series' for the Battle Network and Star Force series. A new cg series just started on CN earlier this month. The best thing I can say about it is when they use remixes of boss music during fight scenes.

There have been some ok goofs for fans like, Wily comes to school with a bad haircut one day which looks like how you'd expect Dr. Wily to look.

Honestly really glad Siege is starting to get the attention it deserves. The game has become something really special in the last year or so. And DO NOT buy the ($15) starter edition!

To anyone thinking of buying R6 DO NOT BUY THE STARTER EDITIONI cannot stress this enough, it will take you forever to unlock any character.

Glad they touched up on the Jacksonville Shooting. Certainly hope we can get better security for video game events like these and thoughts go out to those affected.

Also yes, #puddlegate is incredibly stupid!

For once I was enjoying my time in the car wash :)

I just started this and I'm already very fond of our new host, Vinnex Caravarro

The Beastcast with three backs.

This podcast is chicken soup for the soul for my earholes

@alex: Just wanted to say that you did an awesome job hosting.

Thank you Beastcast crew for a great episode.

Can confirm, Rainbow Six: Siege Starter Edition is a massive grind. It has taken me the better part of 8 months, playing rather often, to unlock about half the starting operators and three later operators.

Alex does a really fine job hosting and a podcast with a smaller crew was a nice change of pace, it felt more focused.

Queue the "corrections of corrections" because Azazel is totally a mutant, not a demon. He's an immortal, demonic looking mutant that lives in hell and was around in biblical times, sure, but he's still a mutant.

Millennials. I guess they don't have the time to say "cast."

Lest we all forget the Mega Man animated series

Still know the theme song by heart

Picked up Rainbow 6 seige during ps4 sale for nephews and been having a blast with the game once again. I feel like I fall back in love with it every year at some point. The game is so good.

Great 'cast this week!

All THOSE random capital LETTERS make ME feel like I'M reading a BAD US COMIC book.

Great beastie as usual and a special thanks for murdering my eaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

That headline may have been wrote by Abby.

Maybe.

I suppose "Goose on the Loose" is too on the nose for a goose game name and Loosey Goosey is too gross somehow.

Alex should host more things. He keeps things on track and moving really well.

I am no doubt a fucking cheapskate which has good qualities, but I do sometimes go overboard like getting mad when my electric bill is like $5 more because I used the AC and spending that night with just a fan on and being completely uncomfortable.
