Mario Odyssey looks nuts and I can't wait to see the opening that Brad described.
Bill Gates's absolute favorite game of all time.

The call-in show is really coming into it's own. It's a joy to have another avenue for jeff just talking bout stuff.
Also so far no shitty callers which is surprising.

Yeah really enjoying them so far. Kind of like a Jar Time with someone else to bounce of off.

It's great. It helps that the latest one is about arcades, some good ass memories. Also, that moped gang call-in is a classic.

Started The Adventure Zone about a month and a half ago, and I have just one Bombcast-length episode left to go. I've enjoyed the whole thing but it really got better than I ever would have thought toward the end. Those frigging McElroys are infuriatingly talented.
I have... so very much GB stuff to catch up on. This has been the first time since before going premium in 2013 that I've actually missed the podcasts. (Though it's good timing as Destiny 2 the perfect kind of game to have GB #content accompaniment.)
I wouldn't mind it being played a little more straight, but I like the dumb Xbox event video. I always enjoy seeing the crew out and about.

Oh. So not a spoiler at all.
This is a family thread, bro. Let's keep it PG
Although I guess euphemisms are okay in PG stuff...ok I think we're good here
I'm generally terrible at strategy games but I'm loving rabbids. It's more like a puzzle game really.
eeeeeeeeeeeh they're not sure if there's any non-motion control option
i'm not gonna swing my handheld-mode switch around fuck you reggie
This was brought up in a meeting. Guess what Reggie said?
REMEMBER THE WIIU?

It's kind of insane how much nintendo is killing it for the switch launch year.
I'm almost afraid of the eventual comedown. It's feeling too high right now.

what are you playing?
I played splatoon 2, and then I regretted Sonic Mania and it's been sitting there ever since, and was sitting there in between games too

I hope Odyssey can be played handheld.
That was my plan...

It's more what the spoiler implies that has people freaking out.

hey this looks good
kiss on the cheeks friend
The preview that first hinted at it was like "it's going to blow your mind!!" and then people tried to do some detective work and found it and sorta built it up as a major spoiler.
Meanwhile it's apparently just another thing in the level.
Though its implications are neat of course.

I'm pretty sure there is, at least I know there is for rolling. Not sure about all the hat stuff.
Galaxy games had the exact same thing, it just looks cleaner/smaller here to fit with the other UI stuff.

Oh no that Tomb Raider movie is going to suuuuuuuuuck! I kinda thought just maybe they could make something interesting with that source material.
I can relate. People blow every new decent release out of proportion

Wait, did you expect it to be good?

No, but I didn't expect it to look Assassin's Creed bad!

Xbox is having such a miserable year that I half expect Cuphead to not be particularly good despite looking great in previews. Ironically, the sidescrolling levels they added based on player feedback will be the weak link.
This is the nature of all video games, honestly. The goal of most marketing campaigns is closely tied with the idea of convincing you that if you're gonna drop cash on a game, it's going to be theirs.
There's also the whole aspect of having people justify their purchase and the time they spent with their game. It's so intertwined with games.
This may just be marketing in general, and the culture of a hype cycle, as well.
This is 100% my concern since they announced that. Never listen to the fans. Listening to fans is what killed Bioware.

Mario Odyssey looks insane! INSANE! And you guys thought PUBG would be GOTY. Pssh.

I'm pretty sure bad writing is what hurt recent Bioware efforts, I'm not sure how you think listening to fans is the source of that. Mac Walters pretty much killed the Mass Effect franchise.
everytime I see gameplay and I notice the shooting is just eight directions instead of fully directional I have second thoughts about the game.
The awkward Tali romance angle was from fan feedback, Anders, Fenris, and Merrill were creations of trying to keep every romance obsessed Bioware social fan into Dragon Age.
