Interesting. Jeff's said before that scary games don't really have much an effect on him. But PT is pretty damn scary. Even when you're watching a playthrough for the second time and you know what's coming and when, it's still pretty f'd up.

That's what this conversation was too, but he had downloaded PT so might as well try it out.

Oh, general question - What is the charity stream that Danny mentioned to Alexis? Extra Life isn't for another couple of months.

Just curious because I was thinking about participating in one of these streaming marathons, this year.

So from the vague hint on the Bombcast that some video is going up PAX weekend, that's probably when we're going to get whatever they filmed last week?

It's super weird. The tense is confusing because it doesn't use the complete future continuous form in the second part. "Gods Will Be Watching, But Also Giving You a Break" is probably still technically incorrect but sounds a lot less strange to me. My grammar is pretty rusty.

hi, English degree guy here. "Gods will be watching, but giving you a break" is grammatically correct, but it's really gross. if you're writing regular prose, phrasing shouldn't make your brain trip, even if the grammar checks out. I'd probably draw the little "phrasing" thing on a student's paper that did that.

The funny thing about English grammar is that, despite what jerks on the internet will tell you, is that if you can read something and it makes sense to you, you can probably prove it to be grammatically correct. I had a grad school professor prove to the class that "I can't get no satisfaction" is both grammatically correct and it does actually mean "I can't get any satisfaction" if you want it to. Double negatives don't always make a positive, this isn't math. There are "understood" portions of speech.

I'm no poet, but "Gods will be watching, but they will also be giving you a break" is probably the easiest to understand, if also probably the clunkiest way to write it.

Or maybe like "Gods will be watching- but they'll cut you a break."

tl:dr grammar is fucked, and never believe someone on the internet if they tell you your grammar is wrong.

postscript: that's still a terrible headline.

A sobering conversation about Gods watching.

Dan to someone on Twitter asking about a MGS ER: "You might be pretty happy very soon."

Didn't they use to offer Fable 2 as an episodic game on 360? Like you could download the first act for free and pay for each acts afterward? They stopped doing that?

Surely this schedule will change if I stare at it for long enough. C'mon!

^^

although a more serious answer is "nothing that has anything to do with my degree explicitly." but it did kind of help me land the job (tech industry) because I write a lot of training and documentation as part of my work.

funny story! (not really). I wanted to write about games! Or write for games! I'm a technical guy with a decent understanding of programming and the like so I thought, hey I'll combine that with an english degree and be a cool journalist guy. And then I realized too late that that wasn't going to happen. But it's all worked out ok in the end, mostly.

Sounds like they are going to stream something out of that 100 premium member VIP orgy. Assuming anyone turns up when they find out that Vinny isn't there. Jeff looks good in red.

Pretty funny to hear Rorie put a stop to what could have been a very ignorant Android rant by Jeff on the Bombcast. He then goes on to describe how the app didn't work on his iPhone either, but doesn't recognize the irony. That guy sure digs in his heels when he decides not to like something.

I was hovering over Rorie's profile when the RSVP thread went up. I got lucky. It looked like a few members of GB GAF weren't so lucky. Anyone else from GB GAF get in?

I love the trend of Dan's premium content going up at 6 AM (for me on the east coast). Great to wake up to a new video.

They forget to label stuff in the upcoming box as Premium all the time. They confirmed that it would be Premium on last week's podcast, so I'm sure it will be. Either that or the first video is free, which would be a good idea.

So yeah, the Brad/Vinny "ER" method. Fine by me. I can't wait to see it tomorrow, I think Drew/Dan is my favorite combo of the current West group.

For the real MGS effect they should somehow trick Drew into playing the PS1 version of Castlevania SOTN on that PS3 and make sure they use the same virtual memory card
