Achievement stuff NEVER had any integrity.
Achievements always had the potential to be something awesome but developers ruined them by not putting any effort into making the actual achievements difficult in a creative way. If achievements were actually difficult to get and were more than "get x number of kills with this weapon in multiplayer" or "complete this level" then they could have been one of the coolest thing ever in gaming. The problem was the most achievements are crap and the difficulty of getting points varies so much between games that any aggregate amount of points means literally nothing. Dead Rising had some awesome achievements, it's just too bad that games like that are the exception.

Watching just one of the Diablo streams and hearing only one side of the conversation is weird.
But Dan got all excited when he got a horse, so it's worth it.

I wish the PC version just had straight up controller support.
Amen.
You should check out "Livestreamer" if you're having problems again, it just opens a window in your local video player. Works great with twitch, but also other sites.

I know, I just needed an excuse to post the link.
A link?
Metal Gear!
P4 ER started out pretty short. I think around the first episodes where around 15 minutes.
We'll have 4 hour videos in no time.
And a bitrate that doesn't shit itself any time there's the slightest bit of motion.
The bolded part seems like the smallest problem in the world. But yeah, better quality on their videos would be great. If I had to choose I'd go for a higher bitrate instead of 1080p, but if we can have both, why not? They've talked about true 1080p being too expensive on their bandwidth before, so if they actually start uploading videos in 1080p I wouldn't be surprised if they put it behind the Premium wall (with the better bitrate being applied for everyone).
The first president of France?
What's the problem? First president of the fifth republic I think it was. France has had a revolutionary history full of revolutions.

At least Drew was close. Dan...you seem like a nice guy but you really only know MGS and WWE...You hear this guy hasn't even tried mayonnaise?
The first of the fifth republic, yes. Sounded like you said he was the first president ever.
That's news to me!
Hah, right, I should clarify- thanks!
And I'm not criticizing Drew at all, just wanted to set the record straight! Drew seems to be a cool dude and upstanding guy.

No, he has, he's just in denial about it.
I haven't watched yet, what did Drew say about de Gaulle being in WWI? Because during WWI he was an officer in the French army, was wounded several times, captured, and was a German POW until the end of the war.
I was saying boo-urns.

He thought he was a general in WWI. Didn't seem to be aware of him ever being President.
Incredible.

Now that is awesome.
Are are under no 'obligation' to do have a video ready daily. Allows them to work around each week easier.

Welcome to 2 years ago.
Quick looks, Bombcast, mailbags, a few non-Premium streams here and there. It's like it's been since they began with Premium memberships, except for maybe the live version of TNT (but not much lost there, really).
Jeff has said that they're not good enough about teasing Premium content for non-Premium members, and I agree. They should make some UPFs free for all (one every month, two months?), maybe an episode of the MGS series etc.
Man, that's some of the best GB fanart I've ever seen.
They get more than enough content (especially recently), but it's the subscriptions that keeps Giant Bomb able to do Giant Bomb. But I still think they should either make the first part of every premium series free or maybe implement technology that allows anyone to view the first 10 minutes of every premium video (basically...porn).

Actually what prompted me to finally sub two years ago or whatever was when they had a non-sub UPF or TNT and I liked it so much I wanted more. I had just been content with bombcast and QLs.
People say this everytime he's on, but Rorie's good on the podcast. He seems to have a passing familiarity at least with almost every topic, and usually ends up getting the conversation going in fun directions.

Quick Looks, mail bags etc..
The biggest change over the last year or two has been with live streams. Free live streams have basically gone from weekly to once every few months.
Except for TNTs obviously, have free live streams ever been weekly since Premium became a thing? I've always thought of those as "special occasions" kind of things. But if you're counting TNTs, sure.
