The Giant Beastcast: Episode 72

@vinny: Regarding the dev hypothetically asking about raising the price of their game because it launched too cheap, there's actually a dev that figured out a good way to let users further reward them for their efforts on a specific game: MuHa Games' Thea: The Awakening has a "coffee for coding" DLC that exists solely to give them a bit more money for the same product; all it gives is an artwork jpeg.

I dunno how much it actually sells or whether it is serving its purpose, but personally I think it's a cool idea, blurring the lines between customer and patron. As someone that really likes Thea, I'm considering buying it.

I like the new Lethal Weapon show. MacGyver reboot was terrible though.

@hwy_61: It's Verve Remixed, although there are several albums in the series now. I'm not sure which one Vinny has.

What is with the ad at the very end of the podcast after the outro music

Thanks, GameFly!

Last year I moved Out of Pa and into NJ and I have two statements about the change relating to cars. Having someone else pump your gas is awesome. What is not awesome is making sure I no longer use turn signals. /s

every time i get invited to a wedding i get extremely mad that someone wants to ruin a weekend for me

@samuraigarrin: thanks dog

I kinda hate myself for suggesting this and Dan's recent recommendation of John Wick might have something to do with it but: John Leguizamo as Gomez. It could work? Alternatively, Jimmy Smits.

Connor should buy a vive and set it up in his square-ish room.

Well, Neal McDonough took over the role of Bison in The Legend of Chun-Li and Cate Blanchett was the last actress to play the stepmother from Cinderella, how does that sound? My first thought was Leguizamo too, but I'd categorize that more as a fear. How about Thomas Lennon and Lizzie Caplan?

Also I really liked the Munsters pilot but I have to admit doing Hannibal the next season was a much better outcome.

The new Hawaii Five 0 is actually not bad as far as procedural cop shows go. It's goofy, dumb fun.

All to GAMEFLY! on the double

I didn't even particularly like the Addams Family movies, but damned if Alex isn't right about the perfect casting.

In terms of best content, finding my way back to that "fortune street" TNT for the first time:

Killed me. Pretty amazing is an understatement.

One of my favorites is this

I thought season 2 of The Wire was pretty darned good. Not as stellar as 4 or 1 but, for me, better than 3 and definitely 5.

i'd be super curious to find out what that 1$ game was.

I'm totally with Alex on his dislike of the word "content".

I found it amusing that the week after we get an email about a conspiracy to throw in ad names during the podcast, the ad break seemed longer than normal.

@vinny Just a note that there's a Gamefly ad at the end of the premium Beastcast this week.

Me too! I wrote an entire post trying to to figure it out, but as I got deeper and deeper I found that there are SO many $0.99 on Steam that look good! Here is a link if you're curious.

In the future, If someone makes a game I'm hoping they tell ZombiePie and it gets into the Community Spotlight.

Well I'm starting work on a game soon so I'll definitely do that! :D

holy lol that accidental gamefly ad at the end made me laugh after the conspiracy theory email from last week

Good god, that house is so small and cute.

That is one small house.

I used to really really like the idea of having a small house just like that. Like the person who sent in the question, after some research it just seems like the best way to own some amount of land while still being able to live economically and, being self employed with a job that relies on the usage of wild land (long story short) it would be perfect.

However, as I've gotten older I realize the amount of little things I'd have to give up as a result would be too much for me. I would need a slightly bigger house simply for things like a creative workspace necessary for my job, not to mention a place to put video games, and god forbid a family member ever wanted to come visit.

Ok someone animate the bat ending with his parents coming back....that is hilarious stuff...and what about a way to fix the games economy ... allowing people to copyright/patent game mechanics so you can't get clones that are add supported...and given the death of Kerbal want to do some more stuff with it....you loved the old stuff so....we would love to see it!! Given everyone (even Obama now) talking about Mars maybe try to go there?

Yggdrasil, Shrike, cantos, that guy from the thing. Can only mean one series: The Hyperion Cantos by Dan Simmons

That is not a house
