    I really loved Jan being with the GBeast crew during the Beastcast last week. He has good chemistry with that crew.

    Alex and Jeff have known each other since they were teenagers, so there's also that to work off of.
    They do some of their best riffing on their streamed drives while Alex is in town, really.

    Have they been doing the Mixlr drive streams this time? I know last time I was in chat and got them to talk about Finnish rock bands that Bam Margera liked.

    It's too bad Alex sat out on today's Bombcast, but there's only so much room around that table...

    I assume Alex was playing one of the year's late releases for some sort of consideration in GOTY discussions?

    They implied everybody in the office is playing releases from earlier this year (mostly Tetris) for GOTY consideration

    They probably just didn't want to cram 9 bodies into a small room for 3 hours. Though they did have an extra seat/mic set up for him.

    Yeah, about half of the drives have been broadcast, mostly the morning drives (right at lunch time for us on the East Coast).

    Even though I don’t get to the site much I usually know what’s going on. Somehow I missed that GBeast has been doing GTA Online together. That sounds awesome.

    I think it's something they've hinted at going on behind the scenes for quite some time! Seems like doing engaging content for GTA has been very difficult. I wonder why tho.

    It's because you need to actively capture feed from 4 different people doing different things. It would absolutely require a lot of work in post to stitch everything together in a narrative way that makes sense. Not to mention the logistics of having four people play (which probably requires that at least a couple of them capture video from home - which brings its own challenges.

    That being said, it's not an impossible task by any means and others have done it. It would be very different from anything GB has done in the past though.

    They've been talking about it for awhile, mostly about the idea that they want to do something with it and also putting it into something watchable is maybe a nightmare.

    Stuff like that makes me wish I could tune into the live shows. I guess I could watch them later but the podcast is good for keeping me company in the car.

    I like how they went from Ben's serious and genuine self help book email response to Jan wanting to do a book about rap ad libs.

    For as many good cutaways as there are (and there are many, all hail Jan) he can also get a little too over zealous with changing the camera angles which gives me a headache.

    That's easily fakeable without some sort of verification. No company could be that stupid, could they?

    I still say TellTale wins hottest mess, but Fallout 76 is coming in with a surprisingly strong second place finish.

    Bethesda is campaigning hard for that hottest mess award. How can they follow this one up?
    TellTale is like bad management with shitty regard for their workers. It’s terrible but it took some pretty straightforward bad behavior to make it happen. The FO76 is so many unforced errors one after the other. It’s hard to wrap your head around.

    Like, all the cruft around Fallout 76 is incredible, but when you take into account it's also a widely panned game and just woof.

    Jeffs face when he asked Dan “Do you know why you boil water?”

    The sound of the air wooshing over his head afterwards could be heard for miles around

    I was also reasonably impressed that both vinny and jeff had a strong understanding of how UV light kills bacteria - feel like they often coach thing in a lot of "as I understand" or not willing to commit to definitive science talk on the a videogame podcast, but they both just jumped in there with a confident explanation - was refreshing

    I used to like listening to those Dan and Dad podcasts, but I've definitely gotten my fill of Paul and just fucking can't with those two together anymore.

    When you catch one that has Bianca on them, they're pretty good. She's usually good for helping ground the other two.
