The Giant Beastcast: Episode 34

After leaving Las Vegas, Jeff Bakalar returns to talk about CES... which means we talk about VR and porn. We also chat about Tharsis, Darkest Dungeon, the latest news, the latest smells, and makeup. Jeff's color is C4.

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!

Jeff BakalVR! We've missed you, dude!

EDIT: Holy shit, I just had a revelation when @austin_walker talked about the term "hobby-grade." I'd never thought of it as meaning "worthy of being considered a hobby by itself." I always took it to mean "about the quality of something made by a hobbyist" (so more 'artisanal' rather than professional quality). That really changes how Randy's statement plays.

Despite knowing better I tried going to ces.cnet.com and guess what I found... Nothing but fucking galleries. Every link I clicked took me to some god awful gallery with a big picture on each page and some text tucked away in the corner.

Big surprise.

Boy, I didn't realize it but I kinda missed our weekly check in with Jeff. Glad to have him back!

Also, this whole VR porn discussion is interesting and it's weird to talk about but but yeah, of course I'm going to check that shit out.

@alex the things people dont like about Riots Control in general are, them having the ability to force teams to sell there spot. The inability of players to play anything other then LoL on there streams, there attempts to gag order people under contract so they cant say anything against riot, and there iron grip over the control of information so if you are not a riot approved personality its very hard to cover the scene.

@vinny So about VR porn. Vice did a pretty interesting piece on how Tori Black was turned into a 3D avatar for said purpose. The story and video contain digital nudity, but not porn as such. I won't link the story here, because I'm not 100% sure how The All Mighty Mods will feel about it, but it's a pretty easy thing to find by doing a quick search.
