There is a 'basic mode' that's just Dive vs. Kick without any specials.

The game is just very appealing to me because I'm very interested in the tactics and mindgames that come with fighting games, but I'm also put off by the crazy excecution barrier in games like Street Fighter. Divekick minimizes the time investment you need to make (learning one-frame links, combos, plinks, option selects, etc.), while keeping the tactics (spacing, baiting and punishing, mixups, etc.) mostly intact.

Plus it looks like a rad party game.

Yeah, this is why I'm excited for Divekick. Probably too excited, looks like a fun and easy to grasp party game.
 
Hey Carrie! We have an opening if you feel like coming back to games journalism. Only half the chat will make comments about how fat and ugly your appearance is, the other half will attack them for being sexist and then try to hit on you. Also, you would need to take a pay cut and move back to one of the most expensive cities in the country. So how about it?
 
The Electronic Super Joy quick look is fantastic. The "Ooh Yeahs", angry Brad plus Jeff's bad accents are a fantastic combination. Game looks really neat too.
 
Aw man, Dean's voice is so quiet in the morning show! It's nearly inaudible, do they fix it part way through or is it just like that?
 
Just caught up on the latest Daily Dota.

Holy hell that last game was tough to watch.

My condolences to everyone involved.

What a bunch of BM'd assholes on the other team.

Brad and his team even played well in that game. They were just fucked as soon as Ursa got a little momentum.

They probably could have reacted a bit more quickly and maybe rotated a 3rd person into the bottom lane. Even with a level 1 rosh, Ursa needs those easy kills to continue to snowball. Omni and Jugg didn't really have a chance 2v2 and fed Ursa a ton in lane. Maybe they even could have swapped Tinker for Jugg in bottom lane, since Tinker's laser would cause all of Ursa's attacks to miss when he dives.
 
I will say that Divekick is a lot less appealing to me now that it's essentially become a massive library of in-jokes, rather than just one overarching joke.

They should have focused down Ursa and three teamed him as soon as he was in lane, but they didn't know how bad things were going to get. Then if they had made things tough for the bear, he would have probably jungled up until wisp hit six, and ganked them to hell anyway. It's a hard combo to face unless you've got serious lockdown and ranged damage.

What are you talking about dude
 
Video-player question: If you look at the source code of a site with video, they have 4 bitrates available: 250, 800, 1800 and 4000 kbit. I would like to watch the 800 one, since I have to watch my volume, but how do I do that? The low-quality setting plays the 250kbit one and medium the 1800kbit one. That jump seems crazy.
 
This is old now, but I've never agreed with Jeff more than when he said how horrible the sideways elf ears were in Divinty Dragon Commamder.

Can someone explain the Brothers and 10 games thing? Must've been under a rock or something but that completely passed me by recently.

Brad said on the podcast that Brothers would be in his top 10 games of the year for him for sure. Then Vinny pressed him on how it was only August, and how cynical Brad was to think there is no chance of 10 other games surprising him this year.
