seamus2389 Posted February 26, 2016 Jeff reading the skate 4 comments has been a podcast highlight. It was like a little piece of the e-shop update. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted February 26, 2016 That's one of those bits that was sorta funny, then really funny, then got dumb and boring, and then finally got the funniest. A master course in how doing a funny bit too long can come back around and be hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thefncrow Posted February 26, 2016 The Nintendownload X-Press was so good. I must have listened to that episode with Special Guest Rick "The Ricker" Peterson like 6-7 times. My favorite part is The Ricker talking about donating cocaine to charity: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ratamero Posted February 26, 2016 This week had skate 4 comments and Superman villains, both brilliant bits from Jeff. It was a good week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ratamero Posted February 29, 2016 It's getting boring already because every week I say the same thing, but Project BEAST is the best thing on the internet right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted February 29, 2016 I've had problems getting the Farcry Playdate to download for some reason, but I can't wait to watch it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bucket_of_Lizards Posted March 1, 2016 It's getting boring already because every week I say the same thing, but Project BEAST is the best thing on the internet right now. I gotta agree, between Kerbal and the American Trucker playdate we are getting some awesome Vinny action recently, and Austin is such a good presense on the Kerbal show. I'm not as big a fan of watching the more narrative game videos, so I hope they keep this sort of thing up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chummer Posted March 7, 2016 woof. really found ep 10 of Project BEAST a slog. some good nonsense happens at the beginning and end, but the middle felt really slow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nappi Posted March 7, 2016 Yeah, I tend to skip a lot in the orbital adjustment sections. The teaser for episode 12, on the other hand! What the fuck Vinny? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Professor Video Games Posted March 7, 2016 woof. really found ep 10 of Project BEAST a slog. some good nonsense happens at the beginning and end, but the middle felt really slow. Yeah I found myself skipping around when they started getting way into tweaking their orbit to line up juuuuust so. Probably best to put it on in the background and do something else and rewind any time I hear Austin yell "Vinny!". It was funny watching them be so, so careful when transferring the Kerbal though. They had him hugging the ship as if he's just gonna randomly fly off into space otherwise (maybe with these guys that's possible). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ratamero Posted March 7, 2016 what the hell is Vinny doing in that preview my god Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patrick R Posted March 7, 2016 The discussion about Steam returns on the latest episode really weirded me out. It seemed incredibly childish to suggest that someone playing a game to completion and then returning it is in any way OK. The entitlement of the "Well, of course I should be able to play this but only I can make the choice whether or not I'm going to pay for it" is just gross, and hearing it semi-condoned by the Bombcast bummed me out. I just kept waiting for someone to say "If you think it's too expensive for the length, don't fucking buy it in the first place" and no one ever did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tberton Posted March 14, 2016 The funniest thing about Project BEAST is their complete inability to understand meters and kilometers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nappi Posted March 15, 2016 Or relative speed, or conservation of momentum. The fact that they have to literally touch the ship whose crew they are about to rescue before they dare to EVA is at the same time both hilarious and infuriating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted March 15, 2016 Or relative speed, or conservation of momentum. The fact that they have to literally touch the ship whose crew they are about to rescue before they dare to EVA is at the same time both hilarious and infuriating. I can forgive that they don't understand what all the widgets mean on the nav-ball, it was only recently that I finally understood that for myself. But someone needs to remind them that when they killed the poor Kerbal on the moon with the jet pack, they made it 10 KM across the Mun's surface fighting the Mun's gravity and still had plenty of mono left. That being said, I knew exactly what I was getting into for this episode and I enjoyed it quite a bit. What happened at the end has never happened to me once, even though I rarely plan my re-entry to hit anywhere specific. I learned something today. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Architecture Posted March 16, 2016 It sounds like your experience with BEAST and Kerbal mirrors my frustration with watching Metal Gear Scanlon. At first I found it hilarious, but now I just find it tedious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badfinger Posted March 16, 2016 I'll disagree slightly, in that Project BEAST causes actual knowledge to be learned, and that anything with Vinny in it has potential to create spontaneous insanity at any moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marginalgloss Posted March 17, 2016 I enjoy the Bombcast and Beastcast, and though I rarely have the time to watch many of the Giant Bomb quicklooks, I just wanted to say I thought the Stardew Valley one was great fun. Dan's relentless enthusiasm was quite charming, and it's that rare case of a video which changed my opinion of the game from 'oh, it's one of those?' to 'no I think I really need to play this now'. Especially good was the part at the end where it finally started raining. I'm glad nobody was around to see me laughing. I'm crossing all available extremities for a Wii U, Vita, or 3DS version at some point. Even if it came out on New 3DS only, I'd be extremely tempted to upgrade just for that.

Bucket_of_Lizards Posted March 21, 2016 Yep it was the most unprofessional of Fridays for sure. I might have to watch that first hour or so again just to soak it all in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dewar Posted March 21, 2016 Times like that I don't like Dan either. I enjoy his enthusiasm for games, and he's made a lot of great strides not just dismissing anything he hasn't tried, but the "pranks" that he pulls still make him a total shit heel.

Vulpes Absurda Posted March 21, 2016 Yeah I don't like Dan. At all. But I can deal with it when he's just endlessly going on about Metal Gear or Wrestling. He's welcome to like things I don't, that's just how it goes and that's fine. But there's a difference between that and him bragging about how he's seemingly coasted through life solely on the power of white privilege, and that crap is infuriating. And I know that that's not the whole story of his life but it sure is the way he tells it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
