Jeff, how would you handle the release data on Star Fox 2 for the wiki, with it being officially released through the SNES mini?

I think we’re OK keeping it as a SNES game and not adding the SNES Mini to the database as a platform or anything like that.

Any plans to switch to a non-flash based player for livestreams?

Yeah, the new player we currently use on-site will eventually be used for premium livestreams, as well. We’ll continue to stream to YouTube or Beam or something for free livestreams.

The Thirteenth Hour Podcast #443: Welcome My Brother, Jeremy, as we talk about Mortal Kombat (1995)

My brother and I watch the 1995 film, Mortal Kombat (my first time, actually) and discuss the film, the games, and martial arts stuff.

Do you agree with Pachter's theory that the PS4 sells more than the Xbone because of their COD DLC deal with Activision

I don’t think that’s the sole reason, but at the time it probably helped sway some people in Sony’s direction. Probably helped with early momentum.

Nah. It was a bad controller then, it’s a worse controller now.

What's up with Dan being a voice actor in Read Only Memories

He asked about it awhile ago. I thought long and hard about it, since it’s a pretty weird thing that I was initially very against. But times have changed and, overall, the audience has been way more accepting of this sort of thing. So I started thinking about why it is that I had such a knee-jerk reaction to it and couldn’t come up with any great reasons to prevent him from doing it without also clamping down on everyone else’s external stuff in the process. I’m not interested in being one of these bosses that says stuff like “DON’T EVER STREAM VIDEO GAMES UNLESS YOU’RE STREAMING THEM ON OUR OFFICIAL CHANNELS” or “DON’T DO ANY GUEST APPEARANCES ON OTHER PODCASTS WITHOUT CLEARING THEM ALL THROUGH ME” or anything heavy-handed like that. Times have changed, those are sort of ridiculous stances to take.

So while it’s not something that I’d probably do, I didn’t necessarily want to stand in Dan’s way if it’s something he really wanted to go out and do… provided that they aren’t trading on Giant Bomb’s good name in the process (which, given the way the developers announced this thing, is something I should have been more explicit about beforehand. Lesson learned, I guess). In that sense, it’s not unlike anyone else’s external ventures, like me with my old band stuff, Danny O’Dwyer’s YouTube channel, all that PAX wrestling stuff some of us have gotten into, or Dan’s books.

Obviously, since this is a game, it’s a bit different than that. We won’t be covering the game. We… probably wouldn’t have covered it anyway since it appears to be a re-release, but this more or less cements it. Maybe that puts us in a weird spot, but I figured I’d at least let him give it a shot and see how it goes. I’d rather wiggle around, try a few things out, and get some stuff wrong than just stay on the same unyielding track because “that’s how we’ve always done things around here.” Personally I’d put it somewhere between “the time I rapped on-stage at the press conference where Konami announced Def Jam Rapstar” and “the time I signed a release form and got captured for potential use as a crowd member in one of THQ’s WWE games” on the “is this OK or nah” scale. We’ll see!
