Take-Two not 2K.

It's not an either/or, Taake Two owns 2K games and 2k games is the Bioshock publisher, meaning they were probably in closer contact with Levine than Take-Two.

How many thousands of dollars does it cost?

edit: I know very little about high quality PC parts by the way, my computer cost me 900 dollars to build and it's pretty good but it's also the extent of my PC part knowledge circle. All I know is that PCs are already more capable than consoles are and it's probably gonna stay that way forever.

Pretty sure the one hes talking about costs literally 2999 dollars.

That'd be kinda tough to justify since I presume he isn't getting paid and then you'd have a situation where someone essentially provides Giant Bomb with content free of charge.

Giant Bomb is doing a survey where they ask you what kind of member you are and what you like about the site:

This is actually Jeff's loop. He's come back in time to stop an e-mail from being sent in to the Giant Bombcast, preventing the Great "Which condiments are okay to put on a hotdog?" War of 2015 and sparing humanity a decade of bad Fallout sequels.

Future Jeff has traveled back from the far flung year of 2017.

The latter.

Although with the timing of him moving to SF, his relationship with Giant Bomb and what he has done at Game Informer, this is the most reasonable speculation so far.

Mustard is good. You should try it.


It's probably my favourite open world game of the last 5 years or so. It's not perfect and it's weird as hell, but I absolutely love it. Only problem is that it runs like poo poo and is permanently letterboxed because the old consoles can't handle it, but you can probably get Dark Arisen (the expansion + the main game) for very little right now. I believe it was free on PSN+ for a while, too.

Anyway, I highly recommend it. The combat is fantastic and the giant monster encounters are really exhilarating.

Does it run worse than what the video showed? I thought it looked pretty bad graphically but ran at about the same framerate most console games do.

Has Jeff ever mentioned that some publisher took legal action over one of their quick looks before? Because when he mentioned it on the podcast I was kinda surprised for a moment but it made sense when I thought about it. I'm actually kinda shocked it hasn't happened more often.
