holy shit dan your selections for Wise vs Kirkhope

would it have killed you to put a DKC1/2 track to actually demonstrate wise's best work to Brad and Jeff?

I think that the GOTY cast amply proved that Dan does not know how to select the right songs.

Tropical Freeze has good music that doesn't really stand out when it isn't hiding behind a good game.

I'll legit listen to Aquatic Ambiance, Stickerbush Symphony, Gangplank Galleon et al. just for the sale of listening to them. Fuckin' amazing shit.

According to this, maybe?

I have no idea what I'm talking about though- California is several times the size and population of Ireland, I'm outta my depth.

EDIT: I'm guessing that this came up on the bombcast, but as usual I'm behind on that (I usually have it listened to by week's end).

 

[kai3345]

Hey Brad if you're reading this I just thought id give a heads up: this is the third bombcast in a row where I've noticed multiple instances of audio skipping

I'm watching an old UPF and he mentioned it

I'm sure he's already been getting plenty of mentions on Twitter, in the comments etc. It seems to be a problem with their recording equipment in the studio, and Brad has said that they're not allowed to bring a backup because that's how big corporations work (the studio is still running on Windows XP!). I haven't really thought it was a big problem with a couple of small skips (the first time it happened, after Danny read an email, it was a bigger problem). But if it becomes one they can always record the Bombcast like they recorded the GOTY casts; worse audio quality, but you'll at least get consistent audio quality.

I'm just afraid the studio is gonna eat one of their podcasts again, like it did around Christmas last year. It sounds terrifying to record a 3 hour+ thing without backup.

 

[cr_blah_blah]

Brad mentioned in the Bombcast thread that he's going to run it by the guy who runs their studio.

[Myggen]

Oh my god, that Paint thread on the GB forums is really going places, huh?

Err, so Danny and Greg weren't joking when they said Sisqo would be joining them for their E3 stage show https://mobile.twitter.com/OfficialSisQo/status/598340136733114368

That's one way to spend money I suppose.

I doubt Sisqo costs much money these days. But yeah, not sure where that's going.

I'm the biggest fan of Rare made DKC but I don't think they're that much better than the Retro made games. I would argue they are the same level.

Plus, Tropical Freeze has music like this.

True, I guess it could have been worse.

I remember them talking about that lost podcast being one of the more funnier ones. Plus they went through some funny as heck emails about Juggalo weddings and shit.

We missed out on something magical that holiday season.

Yea. Lets hope they get some new hardware with the new studio.

Yeah, I would assume so. That their current studio is still running Windows XP should give you some indication of how up to date it is.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Also get an extra mic in there so that we can have both drew and jason and not have to fight it over who's the best.

You guys are joking, but that really feels like a desperate move from Gamespot to stay relevant. Who is coming next year? Lindsay Lohan?

What a weird stunt. Maybe they can make it work, but I'm not too excited about that kind of thing. It reminds me of when the GB crew talked about some part of Whiskey Media wanting to involve celebrities in their work.

Did everyone forget about friend of the site Ice-T.

I hate that this never became a thing back then. It's kinda sad watching it now.

Maybe it'll still happen.

I believe that was when they were looking for buyers, not WM themselves. The company that bought Tested suggested Jonah Hill as GB's celebrity endorsement. Jeff was like nah.

Nothing wrong with XP64.

Dan's competitive nature sometimes makes for some great content. This Kirkhope vs Wise segment on the podcast is already great.

 

[Lijik]

holy shit dan your selections for Wise vs Kirkhope

would it have killed you to put a DKC1/2 track to actually demonstrate wise's best work to Brad and Jeff?

Kind of seems like he was trying to pick tracks specifically to fool them, its not like he was picking out top tier kirkhope by mosty limiting himself to dk64

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I'm glad Dan came through on Kirkhope vs Wise, also Jason should play Shadowrun Dragonfall if he's looking for a shadowrun fix.
