    It's dumb and pointless, but I wonder what it was that Jeff had played that he couldn't talk about on the bombcast. Any noteworthy releases coming up besides Zelda, Mass Effect and Nier?

    I think it's probably just Zelda

    We're about two weeks out from the launch of the Switch, now's a good time for outlets to start getting them

    Horizon or maaybe that new Prey which had an embargo drop today (or at least there seemed to be a sudden explosion of "Check out this new Prey footage!" etc)

    Mass Effect is still a ways out unless they are feeling very confident in it.

    Thinking about it, I think it's very likely Horizon. IIRC the implication was that they'd be able to talk about it basically next week, which lines up well. Nintendo embargos are typically a few days before release, and I suspect Mass Effect embargos will be closer to release.

    Closer to 2 weeks, actually. 16 days from now.

    Maybe people are better at keeping embargoes than I'd expect, but I'd think we'd know when outlets start getting Switches.

    With Nintendo you had better be good at keeping embargoes. If you aren't you probably won't get more opportunities to do so from them.

    i'll also hedge my bets by saying i think it's equally likely that it's something no one guesses

    people always fixate on the biggest releases in their minds but a games reviewer says "yeah i'm playing something i can't talk about yet" the same whether it's the newest entry in a hit franchise that we all care about, or Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Wildlands

    My uncle works at nintendo and told me Reggie actually writes your name on the bat he uses and then leaves it with you when he's done as a reminder

    My beloved volunteered to be a poll clerk in the upcoming local elections, and she just got her introductory packet about all the training and requirements and whatnot. It's a hefty tome, with many rules and expectations.

    As she was reading it, she exclaimed, with genuine enthusiasm, "This is like even-more-complicated jury duty!"

    The truest patriot.

    So Pooro's dating Leslie Knope. Good to know.

    She can never meet my SO. She works human resources for the local county government and is essentially gender-flipped Ben Wyatt if he hung out with Donna.

    It's noteworthy to me Gnome!

    But yeah, Jeff don't give a shit about that kinda game.

    I really hope Jason latches onto it though. Replace God Eater minute with Nier minute.

    well, i would say jeff has expressed an appreciation for platinum games in the past, though he can't engage with them on deep levels. i think he'd likely look forward to the combat, but i also think that as the founder of videogames.com, he has to be focused on the larger releases surrounding Nier rather than Nier
