Are Liverpool and Iceland the only two Travelogues? I could watch this type of thing all day.
There's the video about Drew's trip to North Korea which is great, though its a bit of a different thing. I also remember the podcasts from way back in 2008 when they went to japan being a fun listen and being way more about crazy japan shit they saw than video games.
I've never seen the Liverpool one, going to have to check that out

Just Ryan making Beatles themed food puns for 10 minutes.
I may have to pick up a used Wii U and Xenoblade X next Summer when there's a game drought.
That game looks fucking nuts
If I had a Wii U I'd be stoked as hell for that thing
Also, it struck me as an incredibly Japanese design philosophy to render that whole open city and then just have the cars drive through the player
Like, in my head I imagine a western designer would be like "nooo, we can't have that, they have to crash, or stop and honk, something to maintain the illusion" and the Japanese designer is all "nah the car just drives through you. why? FUCK YOU that's why, it's a video game, what the fuck are you whining about"
That xenoblade ql going up the day I caved and bought a new 3ds feels like the universe's way of telling me I fucked up. A second console is totally out of the question for me right now but still. Shit hurts.

The cars in Mega Man Legends were deadly as all hell. And I'll always remember the cars in Sonic Adventure abruptly stopping and honking at Sonic if you ran out into the street.

My buddy and I are running a Mega Man Legends LP right now and the first time we got fuckin WRECKED by traffic it caught us completely off-guard.

Xenoblade is actually pretty good. Just run through the story and put another xeno game under your belt while you save up again.
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.
The only reports I've seen on "awful load times and framerate" are from some random shithead from a no-name site. And this has totally been the case lately, there were cases of people saying AC Syndicate was "unplayable" on consoles and surprise, they were full of shit. The above video is proof that the framerate is fine
Austin almost goes full Vinny during this Just Cause 3 Quick Look. Encouraging madness whereas Alex is encouraging civility.
There's a moment of utter explosive madness at one point and Austin half-laughs "Jesus CHRIST!", and I just know that somewhere a JC3 developer is doing a little fist pump and going "We nailed it."
The Just Cause QL has nearly convinced me to buy the game despite having no money and still being ass-deep in Fallout 4. I wish to feel the same glee as the GBEast crew did when things explode.

Huh, they're really pumping out the Encyclopedia Bombasticas lately. Miner 2049er, Dark Forces, and Quake II are all going to be featured in the next three days.

Quake II is because Brad found that hat; Dark Forces is because of Battlefront and Miner 2049er is probably because Jeff just cleaned up his games collection and likely unearthed his Atari stuff (which also explains Lode Runner)
Also, all 4 games I'm totally down with being Bombastica'd.
And these Bombasticas are things they can shoot from their homes, away from the studio where they are moving and breaking things down. It's why most of the stuff this week has been GBeast, which until Sunday was at operating strength.
Of course, Vinny and Austin and Alex are all in SF right now. I feel like the all hands pre-GOTY Bombcasts are earlier this year.

Just checked and Play-Asia had it for $30 so I grabbed that sucker
I have had that $30 rerelease on pre-order since it was announced
I think playasia finally actually charged my CC so it must be coming any day now!

Where'd you see it on PS4? I'm hearing the load times are really really awful and the QL appears to be on PC.
It's in the SE++ JC3 thread
They don't show any load times, but it's an open world game, so...
Long load times would be the most minor of qualms I could have with it
Also keep in mind there's a day one patch
EDIT: Here ya go

I found time to watch the first two over the long weekend, and I need to see their reactions to when shit really gets dark.
