Pre-PAX event was interesting, my friends showed up super late so we ended up going over to Gameworks but it was cool to see a lot of Giant Bomb/Gamespot people.
But in all seriousness, I'm hearing this new one is non-linear, and several dozens of hours long. And it has barely any cutscenes. They might have to just do a sort of "check in with Drew and Dan" type thing like they did with World of Warcraft, because nobody will be the "Expert" this time around. The controls will be good, but it might not be as compelling as content as the last games were.
Also I really wanted Drew and Dan to have regular guy experiences with the game, but I guess they're gonna do it on stream which means panicking and rushing for the sake of time and content.
While I'll totally watch MGScanlon 5, I was okay with letting the feature die with MGS4. Drew's had a hard year, he deserves some rest.
And by rest, I mean enjoying the game like a normal human being not under a microscope.
I'm not surprised they're doing this at all. Isn't Metal Gear Scanlon just about the most popular premium feature on the site? Gotta make that cheddah.

Metal Gear Scanlon is 100% of the reason I signed up to Premium last year, the rest of the stuff was enough to keep me on this year, so yeah it's a helluva hook.
I can't imagine the double edged sword of doing a premium feature that gets you some money, but also having people bother you constantly about the next installment of said feature. Especially in the case of the Endurance Run, which was not only not premium, but a huge hassle to do and is just people trying to recapture an old moment in time.
Even Dan and Drew mentioned constantly about being bugged about MGScanlon, even when it was clear they were doing them.
I can't imagine if people were this obsessed about Breaking Brad, or Load Our Last Save. People still clamor for Random PC Game.

Meanwhile, I'm one of the handful of people excited for the next episode of VinnyVania. Since they were playing Crusader Kings 2 last Friday, I assumed they'd come back to Castlevania today. I forgot about PAX. Whoops.
(Although I came to this realization a few days ago, so no big deal)
I guess I don't get the double-edged nature? People really want it and would subscribe to premium for it, why wouldn't you do it (as a business that wants to make money)?
They do so few reviews now that they can't be spending the majority of their time playing games for review. They are a site that produces video content and Jeff has often been puzzlingly opposed to putting out more of the video content that people want to see.
Granted I ain't a CBSi employee so I don't know what the day-to-day is, it could be entirely untenable to do an endurance run-ish feature these days. And I guess they don't need to have the viewer hunger that YouTube LPers do, because they have a steady paycheck unrelated to quantity of output.

jeff has certainly indicated that he spends way more time in meetings than people think
If a player has three Miracle Capsules, all the Stars owned by the player in the first place would be taken away and given to the player in last place.

I really like Austin + Vinny.
Austin is the young upstart that likes to question things and read between the lines and Vinny is the wise older Dad that keeps Austin in check.
There's been a few times already that Austin has started to go off the deep end on a subject and Vinny has reeled him in. It's great.

Just classic Old Man Vinny and Youngin' Austin trying to explain the current nightmare world we live in to him.
Jeff doesn't know how this MGS5 playthrough is going to go.
Also, there will be nothing like an Endurance Run for Persona 5.

I wish Dave still worked there
*sigh*
a lot of features don't have that same potential, though the crusader kings play was a similar direction

And he's loving every minute of it.
Is it just me or are these mini games a million times better than MP4?
