It isn't doing much for me now. At least if I see the ending I can get it off my hard drive in favor of something I'll actually play.

Just youtube it if you absolutely must know what's at the ending. "It's not about the destination, but the journey" is trite, but it's true. It's not worth the time investment and you're probably gonna be very disappointed if you're going into this game with the mindset of "I can't wait for the ending reveal!" or whatever
I will be vinny. We can make our own content of the guys making content for us.

It would be nice if they could do something similar to an endurance run style of content output for this time of year. Have a bunch of pre recorded features and upload them every other day or so. That's what they did with the shenmue er and it was fantastic
Do they even have a upf on the schedule

Or you know
The east could take an hour on Tuesday to record something premium
The west could likewise take an hour on thursday to record something premium. That way we get atleast 2 hours of premium content each week, recorded at a time where the other office is busy podcasting.
eww, accidentally downloaded the regular beastcast by mistake. Shilling for those shitty Christmas jumpers must be how it feels to be a prostitute.
It is on the schedule but I think Vinny, at least, is flying out east before. Best to beat that weekend rush if you can.

The one you're thinking of only posts in wrestlegaf http://www.neogaf.com/forum/member.php?u=12718
which reminds me that I haven't read oti's last column yet.
plane tickets aren't cheap on Fridays, so high chances. Or they flew yesterday, after the white smoke.
Sounds like he didn't read his contract until a few days ago. Might have wanted to start with that.
They are not usually too bad if you fly early. Plus they expense it.
Jeff said they would still be there.
Wait, that's actually him? That's pretty funny.

"Nerf Drew's cooldowns!"
And have an incomplete achievement list? Pshaw.

Almost done watching all of the GB Game Show Quick Looks. These are so good. I kinda wish Ubisoft would release more of these.
I wouldn't think too much about full achievements, there's something at the end of the game that will require you to pretty much grasp most of the concepts of the game up to that point, and it's mostly randomly generated so there aren't really any exact guides.
So if you just want to breeze through to get the game out of the way and get all the trophies, it's probably gonna get even more frustrating.
yeah that's a neat sub category of videos.

New trailer for Danny's DOOM Doc. Looks awesome.
I was convinced, can't believe he would pie to me.

I don't know if it's been posted, but this seems relevant: http://jeff.zone/post/154250696336/what-will-it-take-for-gb-to-put-out-consistent
Just saw that. Quite timely.
I guess I should start posting EmCee's Don't Be A Jerk post in the OP again.

Just watched it and Im stoked! Danny is doing some amazing stuff.
I think Jeff took the 'consistent' part of that question a bit too literally. At this point I think most people would be happy with more of absolutely anything.
We didn't like Professional Wednesdays so now we have to go to bed without dinner.
Yes it did. They want it the way it is. They don't want to do video series because a certain part of the audience then might have nothing to watch if they don't like that one.
The weird thing here is that they are trying to please everyone when that was explicitly what they didn't want to do anymore when they created the site. Atleast that's what it sounds like to me.
I hope that's not what he means, but you might be right!?

I don't think wanting more content is "being a jerk."

I feel like he is misinterpreting the question. When that person is saying "consistently", they're just referring to the volume of content as opposed to repeating features.
It is when we're talkin' Internet Dads!

So the answer is "sometimes we do things people don't like, that's why we don't make schedules"??? Nothing he said makes a lot of sense. If they don't wanna do a Demo Derby weekly (or even biweekly) because some people don't like it, then why make anything? There are always gonna be people who don't like a thing.

Everything they put out, some section of audience isnt going to like it. Just like some people dont like UPF, chances are they will never create a video that is for everyone.
But the thing is, we go to the site to watch them. They could play pong and its probably be interesting. This excuse of "well we want to create something for everyone and we want to make longer form stuff" is at odds with each other, because there will be people that dont like the long form, pre produced things. Its such a cop out answer by him.
Ill probably cancel my sub when the time comes if they dont get it together. UPF isnt really worth it, and his answer doesnt instill confidence in that theyre going to get their shit together.
I've always felt that Giant Bomb has more content than I could possibly have time for, and I'm always having to carve out time to go back and watch old features.
Regardless of whether there is enough content out at this very moment, I think it's odd to question their work ethic.

Yep. Jeff is talking about why they rotate the type of content they do and not why they don't put out stuff more frequently.
Well, Jeff basically answered why they don't have a more consistent schedule, not why they don't put out more content.
I think he was trying to say why they didn't do something like that all the time.

Yes, exactly.
The past few months of light content have made me realize I spend a LOT of time consuming Giant Bomb content, and that the average GB fan probably doesn't watch nearly all of it.
