    I just don't see nintendo releasing a "bad" version of the game on the WiiU. It will be totally fine and probably pretty great. And if you already have a WiiU and nothing else at launch on the Switch interests you, there is a version of Zelda for you.

    I mean I am inclined to agree that it is most likely fine on Wii U

    But it isn't like Nintendo is completely above dicking people on old hardware over

    eh it's just all hearsay right now. We really need the game to be out to get some concrete details.

    if the wii u version is somehow super shitty compared to the switch i'll heat my hat but I just can't imagine that happening, especially with what Nintendo has seemed to say about it.

    Holy smokes. Alex and Dan talking about depression in the latest Beastcast was awesome. Good on those guys.

    I gotta admit, in hindsight, I must've been the biggest dick to my best friend. I wasn't able to get it until I was depressed how the worst advice you can give is "get over it". I've tried my best to apologize since then but ugh...

    I think it's something that's really hard to understand if you haven't experienced it. I personally have never really felt depressed in that way and when someone close to me experienced it I had a really hard time understanding.

    I sort of just learned it's OK not to have a solution and just make sure you are there for them if they need you.

    Yeah, as someone who suffers from severe anxiety attacks and depression, I appreciate it. It can be kind of frustrating hearing people talk about how they're having an anxiety attack when they're just nervous about something.

    Are you currently standing up and capable of conversation? You're not having an attack, you're just nervous. Are you currently half-conscious on the floor convinced that if you give in to the sweet release of passing out, you'll die? Probably having an attack.

    I'm happy for any GB staff that get the opportunity for them to move on to other things but it's gutting as well.

    On the positive side the whole Beast in the East series is great stuff.

    This is the saddest I've ever been that someone is leaving GB.

    Drew nooooo :(

    We'll always have the 1-2 Switch hair flip :(

    I guess this means Alt F1 is done too. I'm very sad about all of this.

    I mean, that'd be a much more impressive statement if it wasn't only excluding one person.

    West needs to hire people so bad, but now I worry that they're going to have to hire too many people and it will throw off the Giant Bombness of it.

    Now I'm just waiting for Vinny to quit for a better paying job to put his brood through college and I can experience true sadness.

    Jeff, Vinny, and Jason are my tried-and-true now that Drew is headed out

    The day Vinny or Jeff leaves is the day I hang up the boots

    I don't know why I have boots or why I'm hanging them, but it'll happen

    I honestly expect vinny to quit this year or next. The very instant East gets another video producer, put a 6 month clock on Vinny tops.

    Dude has bills to pay and I can't imagine that someone as talented as he is couldn't find a way better paying job, especially as all these talented, but less talented than Vinny people get snapped up by Amazon and co.

    Jeff I imagine will stay in the business forever in some form or another. If GB implodes, he'll just make something new and go pioneer game holovideos or whatever the fuck.

    Waypoint has a lot of good articles, I get super turned off by the full screen ads and stuff I get occasionally though.

    Drew was the only guy on those streams who was part of the company the last few years! I can't imagine they will continue, at least not in that format.
