Having read Ready Player One, felt like a young adult novel aimed at my old ass age bracket. It seemed like a licensing nightmare with all the pop culture references weaved into the plot line. I figure roping in Spielberg helped in that regard so I have a morbid curiosity about what he was able to get his hands on.
Black lives matter.

I mean, it's apparently about the 80s, but a lot of the stuff people were talking about in the trailer seem to be from the 90s, like that Iron Giant thing.
It seems as if GB West deals with keeping the business running to allow GB East to produce all the video content, do it's own thing, and keep the brand/site competitive with all of the other personality based video game stuff out there.
Cline seems like the kinda dude that complains about how women don't like nice guys and think the greatest expression of hip-hop is nerdcore.
Ignore the fact that like three of the four bands he lists there are actually from the 70s, he does his big I Love The 80s masturbation page and somehow doesn't even mention 80s rap
Oh god. I just saw this. I don't mean to drag us back into the Ernest Cline thing. But I can't help it. What a ridiculous statement.
"I listened to it all." What? Three of those four groups basically play the same music.
They're all fine bands. But please don't hold up REM and the Police as examples of the deep well of your taste.
I really hope there is a Game of the Year or Gold edition of X-Com 2 that releases with hte expansion - I kind of want to play it on my PS4 despite already owning the game on PC.
I can't see them being knowledgeable or organized enough to make the contingency plans required for ironman. Once a few of their experienced soldiers bite it, it will be a flaming death spiral.
Isn't also the "correct" way to play Ironman not really exciting to a stream audience
I can't imagine they'll be playing as boring or cautiously as you need to play to really survive. Though "Normal" difficulty in X-Com:EW is nowhere near as rough as it is in X-Com 2.

Ernest Cline, however, totally does.

Whatever it is, Austin is looking forward to it:
The Beast crew is rapidly outpacing GB west on a lot of fronts.
Jeff is still one of the greats though.

Main Giant Bomb page says they'll be playing X-Com Enemy Within.
Based on the name though, I'd guess there has to be some sort of gimmick like passing the controller every round.
Edit: Or maybe have them each controlling their own character on the team.
Vinny better be their first MEC volunteer.

I just want to see what kind of bullshit rules-fuckery Dan sneaks into this one.
"If you accidentally injure another squad member with friendly fire, they get to shoot you on camera with this airsoft gun" wouldn't surprise me.
Booooo!
I imagine they'll have in-game avatars that they control.
I wonder if they take on a different persona when they die.

Nah, that's another series.

X:COM! This sounds great.

it'd be real funny tho
Oh hey that links to a one-hour long prologue episode.
I'm excited to find out what "General" means. I'm assuming "full-time troll."
Should we place some bets?
I think they'll bottom out no later than the St. John mission.
they're playing on normal, which is not bad at all, but someone will botch up a mission and lose their high ranking soldiers and that will be that
I just want it to last more than five episodes
Whoever gets the first terror mission will probably shape a lot of the early game

Gonna be hilarious.
Not Ubisoft's voice chat script among gamers playing co-op in a reveal of a game irritating by any means, but it hits that same nerve.
