Oh man that's awesome. Is that the new podcast cover art?

Timecode? This aggression will not stand.

I hope you've seen the requests in this thread for you to do a science type podcast. That would be awesome.

Pretty sure I'd end up putting my foot in my mouth way too often for that to be feasible. I'm just a layman who reads about that stuff voraciously; not qualified enough on any one topic to talk about it with authority.

A podcast of just reading about the horrors of the world would be fun.
 
I'm glad this splinter cell quick look is an hour long. The first 20 minutes have been horrible. It should have just started on a mission, not jeff buying fucking upgrades.

Come to Australia, where our creepy crawlies are so big that we use them as public transportation.

Edit: I misquoted horrendously, holy crap I need sleep.

Aw. Well I can understand that. Keep up the awesome.

Just so you know (I had just listened to last weeks podcast) Urine changes it's ph throughout the day, so it's not always acidic, and it's usually more basic when you've been eating and drinking.

That never stopped the Tested guys talking about videogames.

Good Job, Brain is probably a good fit for anyone who wants to listen to a sciencey-type podcast.
 
I'm not a fan of the podcast with Alex and Patrick. I've listened to the latest two. Mostly because of Patrick. He really loves to over indulge and talk a lot without saying anything.
 
Patrick and Alex think the lack of AAA games will hurt Sony. If anything, Sony did the smart thing by holding back 80% of their big games. Every single console will sell out for the first few months regardless.

Just use Science Friday on NPR for reference. Someone who is excited and earnest about scientific concepts is half the battle.

Right. If Sony can sell out at launch anyway, then not having paid third parties millions of dollars for "AAA" exclusives like Dead Rising 3 and Ryse is a good thing for them.

Obviously they are counting on Infamous SS being the game to reignite sales in early 2014.

No pun intended
 
Erm, Splinter Cell looked pretty awesome in that Quick Look?! What's this shit.. has the internet been lying to me?

I think the internet expected one thing, but got another. The new game looks quite good. Hell, the old game was quite good. People are just nostalgic about how the stealth system in SC1 was for some reason, I thought it was terrible. The direction the series has gone gameplay wise, letting you choose how to finish rather than manage your light meter for minutes on end makes a lot of sense in the long run.

Is it just me or are the menus in this new Splinter Cell game atrocious? Information overload!

They are trying to be authentic to the environment, but end up being confusing. Double edged sword.

That's understandable. While I don't want to sound like I'm being pushy about it, I encourage you to at least keep it in mind and maybe try to think of some sort of format that could work. You clearly have an interest in science, and I, and I'm sure others, would love to hear you talk about it more!

? What? No. They're intensely dense with meaning, every sentence. It's like those parts of the regular podcasts that ain't energy drinks, poo throwing controversies, and shitty, law-breaking roommates and they get down to deep insight.
 
I mean this without a hint of hyperbole, UPF clashing with VGCW is one of the biggest travesties in recent human history.
 
The part where
Zinyak starts singing Just a Friend
is the moment i knew this was game of the year for me.

It almost sold me a few times before it but that was the tipping point. It feels like this game was made just for me.

I am hoping for a SR5, just to see how the hell they top this one.
