The podcasts I've listened to the past 10 - 15 years have been:

Bombcast

Beastcast

Idle Thumbs

Important If True (a short lived gem)

Tested (First couple of years)

Techpod (On and off)

Conan (On and off)

Bill Burr (On and off)

Smartless (On and off)

WTFPod (On and off)

Bombcast was my absolute favorite but Beastcast quickly overtook it once Austin joined and stayed there ever since. I've tried to get into a few other podcasts but it's been very difficult

I tried Fire Escape and it's ok so far. Big early bombcast vibes, but I feel they need a 4th... slightly more grounded person to level it out a bit, also Mike for the love of god no more baby voice 😂

I'm hoping, for purely selfish reasons that Vinny starts a gaming / woodworking / hobby / paint drying podcast some time soon, but until then, I've been rewatching Star Trek Voyager with Garrett Wang and Robert Duncan McNeill's (Ensign Kim and Lietenant Paris on the show) podcast The Delta Flyers

Keeping an eye on this thread for other gaming suggestions though!

@banefirelord: you'd have to figure out what the category number is... like i know "Trailers" is Category number 7, but unsure of the rest

if you change line 23 in that script:

"filters = "&filter=premium:true""

to

filters = "&filter=video_categories=7"

and run it, it will only download Trailers

To figure out the trailers category I used the following url:

https://www.giantbomb.com/api/video/[guid]/?api_key=[YOUR API KEY]

took the GUID from Yooka Laylee trailer

https://www.giantbomb.com/videos/e3-2019-yooka-laylee-returns-with-a-different-styl/2300-14313/

which left me with

https://www.giantbomb.com/api/video/2300-14313/?api_key=[YOUR API KEY]

If you visit that page in your browser you can see the category id:

You can do the same with video_show, so for example if you wanted to grab all of Breakfast and Ben / Jan 'n' Juice:
Take a random episode GUID and put it in the URL:

https://www.giantbomb.com/api/video/2970-21017/?api_key=[YOUR API KEY]

so in that case you'd change line 23 to

filters = "&filter=video_show=74"

and it will grab every episode of a particular show... it looks a bit technical, but it's the only way I know to get the Show / Category id.

The problem with selecting a specific quality of video is not all videos have all qualities available, for example, newer videos have hd_url, but some older ones only have low, most have low and high

I made a video downloader a while ago. It doesn't have a gui but it's SUPER easy to run. Just open the folder you download it into in command line and type "python3 getVideos.py"

What it does is gets a video detail, downloads the video, saves the json data for that video, then gets the next video... and repeats that forever until all videos are grabbed.

Screenshot of progress:

It's a bit slapped together and could use some extra work, but you can grab it here:

Happy to accept any improvements into it too.

My OG 2011 premium members tshirt is more stressed than a Metallica shirt on a rack at a Hot Topic. My SO has been begging me to throw it out but I refuse! Same with the 2013 shirt. Given the special nature of them I doubt we'd ever see them back again, but I'm just floating it out there.

@gundato : This kind of feels like Epic is the one blocking them from letting games owned on Steam being counted for the levels unlocking, like when you couldn't buy fortnite shit on android and use it on Playstation.

I can't say its that for sure, but IOI do have their own account system independant of Epic and Steam and as someone who worked in Games Backend as a Service, this is a prime example of why you'd have your own independant backend, to make cross progression easier.

1. So it's either a big fuck you from IOI, which seems unlikely given they are allowing console players to have the levels they've already bought accessible.

B. Or it's Epic saying they don't want stuff bought in one place to be used in theirs.

3. Something else entirely...

For some reason I was having quite a bit of difficulty with the lighting, being that the sky was behind spidey 90% of the time I wanted to take a photo, hence the filter helping things bit.

But damn, so happy the Scarlet Spider suit was included, it looks super good!

I'm in Ireland, I live right on top of a Mr. Mime Spawn, would love a tauros or kangaskhan!

Awesome, thanks everyone! I also recently bought 100 Super Famicom and 100 Sega Saturn games, so I'm watching this to prep!

As the title says, I think they were back at the CBS offices for this one. Ryan ordered a 100 super famicom games from ebay, but accidentally bought regular old famicom games, so he went back and bought the super famicom lot too and had like 200 carts in boxes arriving.

I'm pretty sure this is a thing?

Who blew the horn?

There's a part where you're in the boat with Atreus, Mimir and Kratos and you hear the horn and the water recedes, as far as I know, only Mimir and Atreus can talk to it, and I doubt Thor or Odin strolled up for some tea and a chat.
