Be careful with fireworks man.
I like how Dan calls it "wiener stuff"

That's just a dumb little easter egg. People who think Rocksteady is going to make a game based on that being in the game are insane.
I'd already heard that "spoiler" somewhere else.

So does Jeff address his buddy Lang coming under fire about pc batman?

Yeah, seriously. Game came out last week and already just talking about it so casually. Not everyone has the time to finish games in less than a week, lol, and especially so given the fact that the PC game is broken and people are just waiting. Even the identity of the Arkham Knight stuff got way too dicey for me and I turned the volume down...
Anyway, Jason was great this week.
It'l be talked about in his upcoming dance central 3 review.
I love the spoiler that Brad gives that he assumes everybody knows, which I only knew because he said there'd be no story spoilers in the Batman quick look and then that happened.
Granted, it (the story thing itself, not getting it spoiled) annoyed me more than anything and I wouldn't have really cared if I saw it in the game and said "Oh fuck this bullshit" instead of seeing it in a video. But either way, their
Brad's

There's more than just that though, some signs on buildings, as well as some criminal talk.

Weird to hear again about Uncharted sales being low.
Uncharted is up there with Gears in sales. Does this mantra come from expecting Halo sales? Gears is a good comparison.
I feel like the first Uncharted NPD has clouded the US idea of what Uncharted is. It's a huge blockbuster game, not some Killzone Infamous type game in sales.
On gametrailers you'd hear this stuff on Bonus Round or whatever, not a huge seller for Sony etc.

Well, I sure just clicked this without thinking since I thought it was just about stuff they said in the podcast. I mean, I'll probably forget most of it by the time I'll get to Knight (since I only got around to playing Origins now) and I probably would've seen it coming, but whoops.
Yeah, I had the same WTF reaction to that during the QL.
I suspect that Brad falls into the camp that thinks "early" story spoilers are not a big deal.

Dude has been banging that drum for the last few months for whatever reason.
Which is a bit dumb because you can Google how big uncharted has gotten sales wise. It started out as a sleeper hit but 2 and 3 did huge numbers for them.

In all seriousness.... why does gerstman stay in his field? Buddy and I were chatting about it today and the guy just seems so jaded and burnt on gaming
How exactly is he jaded? Because he doesn't jump on the first hype train he sees like people on forums like to do?
It's funny how people ignore anything positive he has to say about games like if you are realistic, you have to be cynical. I can guarantee you that Jeff's opinions are going to hold up in the long run because he isn't easily blinded by hype and word of mouth. If anything, this field needs more people like him. He is wise and realistic while others naively jump from one hype train to the next, buying into all of the marketing.
When he is completely ecstatic about a game, you can be damn sure that it's going to be a good game. He was raving about Just Cause 3 at E3 and I trust his opinion on it because he's honest and can see through BS when it's there.
I disagree with him plenty but he provides a much needed voice in the industry and everybody knows it
The hot fire he spits about Destiny is pure gold everytime.
People pay to listen to him and they respect him. Plus their work seems like the most chill thing ever. Why would he ever want to leave?

Last weeks episode was boring as fuck. Too much video game talk and not enough bullshitting. I hope it is rectified this week.

Dem chills. Have not heard Ryan's voice in awhile 😁
Jeff enjoys plenty of games all the time, people just like to selectively ignore those games because it doesn't satisfy whatever game they're personally blowing their dicks up over in that specific moment of time.
Just something that rocksteady actively hid for the entirety of development
He likes plenty of games. I like that he doesn't participate in the "this is the best game ever of the month" game like many in his field

I feel bad for Brad, the spoiler culture warriors are always out for his blood for the least significant of things.

To be honest, I don't think it's insignificant. Rocksteady hid that part of the story from the marketing campaign for a reason.
The way the game jump scares you out of the blue with it was a nice surprise. I'm glad I didn't watch the quick look before playing the game.
Brad is a "spoiler culture warrior himself", it's just that he's only sensitive to spoilers on things he hasn't seen yet.
Most people actually enjoy going in fresh to a new experience.
I usually don't listen to podcasts about said specific game if I want to do that. Whether they specify spoilers or not.
