I hate Pewdiepie and everyone who subscribes to him

so far he's infinitely better than the people shilling apps of the show

i still don't get LPers though.

edit: also did Colbert do a Moment of Zen at the end?

Nah, turning off after the Claire Danes interview. Colbert really got into that.

He made a shitload of money and people are jealous because they aren't members of the demographic that likes him, and they also mistakenly think that what he does is easy and anyone could do it.

I don't like what he does, but I can respect cashing in on kids liking his gimmick.

I was exaggerating my hate. Really it's just something where I have zero clue what the appeal is. Like I can at least understand why people want to watch a lovely comedian or listen to music I don't like or whatever but I literally cannot comprehend the appeal of watching a Pewdiepie video. It is completely foreign to me.

I think this means I'm old.

It's not that hard, they think he's funny, he vocalizes the idle and dumb thoughts that many have while playing games. Plus to preteen and teenaged girls he is probably reaaaaal attractive.


Mostly you are just old(I'm getting there), So I get it but I can't talk, as a kid i legit liked trash like Rocket Power.

I spotted 2 3 more mini-Stephens in the tilt shift intro I hadn't noticed before.
Either they added them recently or I wasn't looking close enough.

(Central Station, center right, Time Square shot also center right, rooftop party, running down the stairs).

The one on the roof was real. They had a roof party to setup that shot. I think the NY Times talked about it on a preview article.

Everything about No Man's Sky, from the hype and buzz right down to the extended development time and nebulous release date, and especially what we've seen of the actual gameplay reminds me of Spore.

That's not a good thing.

Having not following the hype, the impression I get from the demo on the show is that the game will be pretty to look at, and serve a nice conversation topic.

I get the impression anyone really playing it will get bored pretty quickly. It's not unlike getting bored exploring the city in a sandbox game once you run out of quests. Underneath all the pretty algorithms there's bland skeleton.

The boredom of exploring games like GTAV and other open world games comes from running out of things to discover. I played the heck out of Far Cry 4, exploring practically every square inch of the place. But I got bored eventually because there was nothing new to explore. NMS is giving us a human lifetimes worth of content to explore, where you can always find something new that no one else ever has or will discover. The content will never run out, the boredom will come from being tired of the game mechanics.

Just watched the show finally.

So if everything is generated as you explore it, you can name it and what-not, but if nothing is saved anywhere, how can you go back to it and still have it be named?

Essentially everything is stored as seed numbers. If you set up an algorithm to generate everything. When you toss a number to that algorithm it will dump the same render out every single time that number is passed to it.


Dumbing it down you essentially store a name with a seed number.

I figure what he meant was either the seed thing or the number they quoted is what they've figured as the maximum potential number of worlds that they can create with the variables available and they save what's actually been found.

I know it's a little thing to be bothered by, but it seems like a lot of Colbert's guests get up and start to leave before they even get to commercial, especially the politicians. Would it kill them to wait literally 5 more seconds so it doesn't look like they just want to get the hell out of there?

It's mostly the politicians doing it, because they have 30 other stops to do before sitting at the phones for another 4 hours that night

I guess that depends on whether or not we count Dave's "Is This Anything?" segments. The girls with the power tools were kinda dancing I guess.
