Finally found the video I was thinking about. Just Played: Drawn to Death. Kyle knows Jaffe better then Jaffe knows himself. Kind of creepy predictions but a lot of Context.^^

Shadow of the Tomb Raider: One of the Challenge Tombs in the Game. Too bad the 3D Screenshots in Nvidia Ansel do not work, even though you can play the game with native stereoscopic 3D support. This picture in 360° 3D would be a blast. But hey, at least I can have it in like 100k resolution :)

Of course, it arrived last Friday but I bought a Playstation 4 Professional and it came in amazing red! Having never owned a PS4 I spent the evening creating a new account and reactivating my now ancient PS3 account. Also a certain username was already taken. Damn You!!! stupid person who seems to like squids with a military rank. The position of the Spidey logo makes it hard to put the PS4 in a more presentable position and I fear I have to buy a vertical stand for that. After reading some comments I am happy to have one of the quite ones or so it seems.

@Faaip At the end nothing so bad, but to specify - After listing some nominees for trending gamer, Kyle said, I quote: „I don´t know. As long it is not Brandon Jones I`m happy. (chuckle)”
And for the sake of completeness Jones responded on twitter:

Okay maybe something a little different. Some handicraft. After their PhD defense its tradition to build a graduation hat for the student with something related to the person and his thesis on top of it. Since the student was (still) a Naruto fan, I made him a hokage hat. I checked the internets for some tutorials but the only ones I could find sucked. So I designed how to cut the paper and stuff myself, also included a swappable front and even the cloth, in this case a disposable tablecloth could be removed or changed. Turned out great and the hat even was the right size. Of cause the PhD student was the one who had to explain the hat to the profs.

Had to restrain myself on the number of amiboo. Helped that the Odyssey bundle with Peach and Bowser were more expensive than the 3 single one.

Okay, let’s talk about some of the story here, because some things were deliberately kept vague, I think…

The question I have is when Otto become evil and when Li decided to terrorize the city. What villain was the first. Is that 100% clear. I mean Peter was thinking since when Otto use the, what was it called, neural link. When the lady wanted to kick out Otto, that was before Norman even closed the place, he already has anger management issues. Also, Li didn’t immediately decided to go bad after Fisks defeat. Since Li and Otto already knew each other, is it possible that Otto encouraged Li to do some bad. Same with Shocker. Who really hired him? At the time I thought it was Li but Li didn`t necessarily needed the money himself. Other thing is, when Otto discovered Peter with the Spider-man suit he might have just pretended to not know that he is Spider-man, cause admitting it might have made things more complicated. On the other hand, he gave him the new suit. The reason why Peter was furious about Otto at the end wasn’t that he became evil but because that he was lied to and taken advantage of the whole time. That is the great thing about the story – You expect that Otto goes mad at some point in the game but when it happened, you realize that he was up to no good way before and even then, it still makes you feel for the character…
Anyway, I think I might have to play the game again…

It's going to be work for this years Keighleys, isn't it? Emm, I mean Kyle is going to build a giant castle of Bud Light, Doritos or other not Gaming related sponsor for Geoff. I'm still terribly excited!

@Lotias Yes! The show still exists and during this/last year GDC Awards there was also a video featuring our favorite anchor women: Youtube Video

Hmm, wonder if I understood the question wrong. Is it games that are now considered good and are seen as something bad in a few years or was it as I understood it in the podcast, games that going to be devalued by every consequent sequel (or reboot)?
Well in my opinion we don’t even have to wait. I think with Sonic you have a game that maybe isn’t so great now when you play it without any nostalgia and surely has gone to shit with most iteration. And good lord the character design is shitty as hell and this even before there were female bats with huge titties.
For the OP: Uncharted still has some good characters, character interaction, voice acting, animations that surely not all games in the future can match and an overall entertaining story. That alone is enough to make it worth playing and it’s not going to change in the years to come. At least I hope it isn’t. And for me a good narrative is one of the most important things in a video game and good stories don’t age.
Anyway, I kind of hate the question because even as I hope that video games are still evolving that doesn’t mean we can’t look back and find at least something interesting and worthwhile in older games like pong, pac-man, even full motion video games … and that should be true even for CoD or (especially) Assassins Greed. At the very least they are a product representative of their time and technology.

@TheHashtag0nist The first 3 episodes were shot together. But Geoff mentioned at the end of last week’s LwYTG that next week (3rd Nov) there is a new episode coming.

To be fair Jaffe has a point with his comment about cynical, mean spirited journalism. It’s the reason I follow easy allies because it is not. If I member correctly Kyle also talked about how the artwork of the game looked like doodles and that’s why is pretty unappealing. This and that it is a just the 100th arena shooter nobody cares about. But I wouldn’t be surprised if those tweet actually really matter to Kyle. Jaffes last tweet about his game was not too long ago Nov.12. Wonder if it is normal for a developer to write for the official playstation blog. But yep the game still looks shitty as hell, and with only 6 playable characters, lol

I am 3rd level normal. So neutral that i don't even have a opinion anymore. A true background character when you don't even need one. Hey maybe I can level up to be a sidekick. Thankfully not a halfling! :)

True Neutral Human Bard (3rd Level)
Ability Scores:
Strength- 10
Dexterity- 12
Constitution- 11
Intelligence- 12
Wisdom- 11
Charisma- 9

Alignment:
True Neutral- A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.

Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Class:
Bards- Bards often serve as negotiators, messengers, scouts, and spies. They love to accompany heroes (and villains) to witness heroic (or villainous) deeds firsthand, since a bard who can tell a story from personal experience earns renown among his fellows. A bard casts arcane spells without any advance preparation, much like a sorcerer. Bards also share some specialized skills with rogues, and their knowledge of item lore is nearly unmatched. A high Charisma score allows a bard to cast high-level spells.

Honestly I can only think of some cynical answers.

People and demi gods think that you are the most awesome person in the world, only because you can shout really loud. You might actually save the world just by happenstance.

Great variety in level design and gameplay, fun characters and good animations. Holds up!

I thought after watching Live with Youtube gaming I would be hardened when it comes to something cringe worthy but this year’s game awards really seem to hit all the wrong notes. Even Kyles appearances started to feel pointless. The cheering of the crowed felt kind of wrong when the “that dragon cancer” guy got on stage but his speech was really moving. Not like the winner of trending gamer…. Afterawards I just rather wanted to see a new episode of LwYTG. The last few episodes were starting to be good. Also, instead on dissing Jones Kyle could just have worn a EZA shirt, even one of the obscure one with a slogan. Would have be fitting cause of his skit during the preshow.

Well, another theory would be that Jaffe isn´t that of a, sorry for the language, Puss-A, and this is all just to get attention, any kind of attention. Jaffe and Drawn togeth to Death was featured during day 2 of PSX and playable (?) but as far as I remember we didn´t see anything of it during the keynote, not even in some montage (because it`s ugly). And yeah pretty much since 2 years we heard nothing so Mr. J. might be happy with any piece of coverage, those 2 seconds from Dear Bosman that might stir up some shitstorm. What makes me angry is that calling Kyle out in front of an audience that probably not even know who this is, is equally as bad as hateful and cynical press. Also the difference with Kyles segment is that he kind of is still Kyle. He doesn’t invent a mentally challenged persona (Pewdiepie, Boogie sth.´s Francis….) as a shield for any form of critic.
That said, it shows how smart Kyle is to not bring up Jaffes comments and to give him any more attention. Aaannd this is probably what I am going to do. Forget about Jaffe and his stupid, ugly game.
Also: I think the name drawn to death stands for sth. like when you make some passable doodle and want to improve it with maybe some colour and then it turns to manure….
