I wonder what they're using the other side of the room for now? My hope is they're building an alternate set with a new couch setup, but it'll probably just be a green screen area again.
I'm a little worried they're gonna start forcing those two TVs in more shots to justify their existence at the expense of tricaster shenanigans. So when they need to insert graphics such as the ranking of fighters list for example, instead of a clean video overlay like before, we might get a shot of a TV screen instead.
New desk is fine i guess, but i definitely prefer the couch setup much more. All the camera angles are gonna pretty much look the same now and that's boring.
Maybe they just did this because it was a stream, but i would definitely appreciate if all premium content can be played on youtube because it's still the more consistent video player for me.
"i think an interesting game of the year addition/alternative would be to review games as a group. maybe come up with a list of 20 good games, but instead of arguing the rankings, they try to get a consensus on how many stars each game deserves. it's basically more loose rankings since there can be several top games, if we count 5 stars as the equivalent of that, instead of arbitrarily saying one is somehow better than the other. then they could select a winner as usual, or maybe they could even scrap selecting a single game of the year and just go with declaring the 5 star games as the games of the year."
"i don't envision these as traditional reviews. games like invisible inc. and stardew valley barely make the top 10 even though only one person finished them. the equivalent of that would be if only one person felt strongly about and finished a game, instead of 5 stars, it would be brought down to 4 or maybe even 3 because everyone else fell off it or weren't convinced by the arguments. earning a 5 star score would be a bigger deal than it is now. they actually already write a mini review in the game of the year article so they could just also do that for the rest of their top games."
A person wins the lottery. If they choose to blow it all on idiotic things, you are allowed to have an opinion on how they could have used it better. No one is taking away their right to spend it how they want.
@themuse: it's weird because the audio only version is fine. if anything, i would expect the opposite - i could maybe understand making the audio only version intentionally lower to not blow out peoples' ears when listening on their devices.
