Scoops? Scoops?! SCOOOOOOOPS!!!!! [Giant Bomb]

On June 21, Patrick "Tricky Scoops" Klepek will depart the Giant Bomb offices to return to his ancestral homeland of Chicago, IL

Let us remember the good times:

Scares!

Dinosaurs!

Iceland!

Weird Dutch games!

But weep not overmuch, dear friends. Our beloved Scoops will still be with us in spirit, posting articles, snatching headlines from the jaws of lesser news sites, and defending Yoshi's Island to the death. So let us send him out with one last chant:

Scoops!

Scooooooops!

SCOOOOOOOOOPS!

    TF2 is still as much fun as it always was and if it is an item farming game it's because you've made it into that, you can 100% ignore that and still have a fun enjoyable experience

    Glad I could help

    Moving back to Chicago

    Doing stuff remotely like Alex

    He and Alex may have their own show

    Also he responded to my question on Tumblr!
    Anonymous asked:
    Do you realize that now there will be no Dishonored love at all on the Bombcast?

    Fucking monsters, all of them.

    they should make Drew a permanent addition to the podcast rather than reverting to a 4man pod.

    Giving me a headache.

    Looks like TV fuzz.

  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    It'd be cool if Drew or Rorie replaced

    But I just have to remind myself that the Bombcast was great for years before Patrick even showed up

    So I'd be fine with four

    I have previously contemplated this.

    It's a pretty close approximation to what I imagine a painful afterlife may be like.

    Drew's probably getting work done while they record the Bombcast, finally away from those assholes

    I am so so sorry

  • LockedOnTargetLockedOnTarget Registered User regular
    DOTA seems kinda neat but the games are so damn long, I don't want to put 100 hours into it just to go from "fucking awful" to "really fucking bad".

  • augustaugust where you come from is gone Registered User regular
    I downloaded the Dota 2 spectator client on my shitty laptop expecting it not to run.

    It runs really well. This is probably a bad thing

    Also I watched one of today's International games and the whole spectator game client thing is in fact pretty amazing.

    Just finished Crysis Warhead. That game sure hasn't aged well.

    why would "will not" become "won't"

    Because the old English word for will is woll.

    Also all of our pronouns were present in old English, with the exception of she and her, because women weren't acknowledged in the language like that until after the Norse came over. And changed things up a bit.

  • LanglyLangly Registered User regular
    Vestigial old English stuff I'd pretty cool

    Like willy nilly isn't a nonsense phrase. It's an old English contraction that basically means " if he wills it or if he doesn't will it."

    So if you were tossed about willy nilly, it meant you had lost control.

    I think what I'm looking forward to the most with regards to occulus rift is driving games.

    The worst part about any driving game is the camera. The most comfortable view is always elevated above and behind the car. The alternatives are cockpit view and hood view.

    Cockpit view could be realistic, except your TV/Monitor only take up a tiny percentage of your real-life view, so the amount that's limited by the visible interior of the car is reduced even further by the aforementioned view-percentage of the TV/Monitor

    Hood view helps this by taking away those elements showing more of the screen, but it's still nowhere close to the amount of visibility you'd get in a real car.

    Both of these views suffer inherently from not being able to look naturally in directions to get a real sense of things surrounding the car. Mouse look can help this, but I rarely see it implemented properly.


    I never play actual racing games, but if I could get something like that in my GTA/Sleepy Dawgz, I'd be pretty happy.

  • OlivawOlivaw good name, isn't it? the foot of mt fujiRegistered User regular
    I love cockpit views in every game

    Hell, Driver San Francisco has a really nice one!
