I can tell you that one of the benefits of having a release on Tuesday is that it has to be set up on Monday which is a slow enough day to spend a lot of time setting displays and getting content ready to stock right away Tuesday morning.
I honestly need to watch the mailbox videos 3 or 4 times over before I can absorb the information without getting distracted by the Guild Wars 2 footage. Damn, why are you using such an awesome game!
For those who don't know why the release dates are different. They all used to be Friday (about 20 years ago). Then Walmart (a big US retailer) asked 3 publishers to ship them games 3 days in advance to move thru their distribution center in Arkansas to other stores. ~15 years ago publishers started shipping directly to the stores, but they never shifted off from the Tuesday thing. And since there's no Walmart here in EU, we get the games on Fri instead of Tue. Thumbs up for everyone to see.
The From Ashes guy added a HUGE amount of storyline content and finality to the Prothean saga weve been following for the past 3 games. So yes, it is robbery that theyd rip that out of the base game. He is VERY OP too. I cant explain why since spoilers, but yes, he is VERY important to the story if you want any sort of closer with the prothean aspect of the whole story.
MAILBOX TIME! *dancing around my room with a mixture of excitement, enthusiasm, glee and a strange seance of wellbeing.. * in my mind, it's much less energy consuming that way* ;)
I would just like to say, that the Darksiders 2 pre-order bonus states, that you will recieve Argul's Tomb, once it becomes avaible. We can then assume that the only thing you get for pre-ordering, is you do not have to pay for the DLC, and that you will be able to buy it seperately, once it is out.
Here's another reason I thought of (and probably 500 others this very hour) that there are release delays persisting online. Shipping still takes time for physical copies (can't send em beforehand because it's not trustable). If they were released on-time online, but face a delay because of shipping for the physical copies, physical copies might suffer a dramatic reduction in popularity because they are "lagging behind". If this were the true reason, it strikes me as 'postponing the inevetable'.
As one who has experienced US release dates, even though I was currently living in the EU at the time, there really is no reason that there should be any delay in releasing of a game. If you can get games to American's living in the EU for the US release date, then you should be able to get the game to everybody for the same day.
i used to think i had a pretty good idea of what to do if i were to ever release a video game. but with every video you put out, one of my preconceptions is mercilessly torn down and stomped into the earth, and I get just a little smarter. thanks
Did you guys see when that Mesmer put down the tele-portal on that bridge and then up ahead? I didn't realize everyone else could use it to. That's AMAZING for pvp. holy balls :]
Gamestop used to be owned by Barnes and Nobles, which was primarily a book retailer. New books come out on Tuesday. Gamestop took nearly a decade to switch to a different stocking software, which probably really liked Tuesday's. I remember still using my employee discount with Barnes and Noble at Gamestop years after it spun off, because Gamestop still licensed the software and it was built in. That's my guess.
I hate it how I have to buy ME3 much and much later for a much cheaper price, I actually wanted to give Bioware money for making such an epic game series
I got the Nordic game on Tuesday(Was going to get it on March 8th (Same as the Aussies) while Europe got the game on 9th) So actually the games comes to the stores in Sweden at least, Pretty long before, than the actual release date, so I think it is about the Payday, more than anything else, even when it comes to box games.
@Darkfiretiger2004 What you download simply unlocks it. The data is already on the disk. Some people have already made unlocks for it without downloading the actual From Ashes DLC. It's like a key that opens the door to your house. Not a new room. (hope that makes sense)
Does that machine in the video have any other attack exept auto nr. 1 because I only saw that 5 is leave the vehicle or whatever that is. And nr. 1 spam.
God, I hate people who complain about DLC being in the game. WHO CARES! It's DLC, it's MEANT to be bought seperately. EVEN if it's on the disc before release. It's extra stuff that needs to be bought. DLC that is available on day 1 is good if you want extra content right after you beat the game.
I know what ya mean TB, I hate not having something to do (._. )...not like you will see this anyway but hey, whatever :D Glad to have ya back, your the best!
Ok so, I have recently read that GW2 release has been pushed back to December 2012. Would anyone know if this is true? I'm thinking that it can't be pushed back if it doesn't have a release date yet, but I was guessing release for June - July time. Could we possibly have to wait almost another whole year?
I have a question about the DLC-thing. You get the dlc if you preorder Darksiders 2, but is that only from stores from their website? I live in Sweden. Hypothetically, if I were to preorder it from a swedish webstore, would I then not be allowed the DLC since it is not from a store of their website?
Put this in my favourites when this came out. Miss the day's of TB being well. Ill just miss TB full stop. RIP. Been following you for along time.
F yeah.
I love the opening music... reeks of Epicness :D
Glad you're feeling better, TB! Always love your mailbox vids!
@TotalHalibut Great to have you back TB, I always enjoy listening to your videos, during my studies and keeps me pumped.
Glad to see you back.
It's nice to see you back! (get well soon!)
I was really missing your channel!
I like how TB is talking about bugs, as he walks across an invisible bridge! :3
That's why I love CD Projeckt, those guys make good games and they know how to not piss people.
Thanks for remembering lik-sang... we must never forget.
Thanks for the video TB, this should tide me over and feed my addiction :D Get well soon!

Thumbs up for everyone to see.
@Dakeyras83 Generally if it's on the disk you can safely assume it was developed prior to launch
I got to love these
glad to have you back TB
Great to have you back TB :D

DAMN IT! I did it again... watching the awesome GW2 footage in the background distracts me from the mails completely.)
Good to have you back TB
Good to have you back, get better soon bro
Good to have you back, TB! :)
Nice to have you back.
MAILBOX TIME! *dancing around my room with a mixture of excitement, enthusiasm, glee and a strange seance of wellbeing.. * in my mind, it's much less energy consuming that way* ;)
every time i watch a mail box i find my self nodding in agreement.
I like the fact that he talked about bugs, and then there is no bridge that they are walking on in Guild Wars II :P
I like that he's talking about buggy games while walking on an invisible bridge.
give re logic their due, they keep adding content to terraria for free, good content too and it makes TB and Jesses experience even crazier.
I love how the motivations differ between how/when things are released between the US and the UK.
I would just like to say, that the Darksiders 2 pre-order bonus states, that you will recieve Argul's Tomb, once it becomes avaible. We can then assume that the only thing you get for pre-ordering, is you do not have to pay for the DLC, and that you will be able to buy it seperately, once it is out.
I love how the bridge disappeared when he was talking about bugs.
TB is a workaholic
and that's why I love him
Biscuit! Glad you are feeling better! Hope you get over it totally!
It'd be cool if there was a podcast for these, i know its probably been considered, but just putting it out there
Ahhhh.. The love TB gives to us fans :D
It says it will grant you free acces to the dlc WHEN it comes out so it is NOT a piece of content being cut out before hand
"The game in the background is once again, the one and only, Gatesmasher simulator."
TB is possibly one of the smartest gamers on the internet because he has namers and common seances
It seems like in every Mailbox there is a "Pre-Release DLC" Subject.
Here's another reason I thought of (and probably 500 others this very hour) that there are release delays persisting online.
Shipping still takes time for physical copies (can't send em beforehand because it's not trustable).
If they were released on-time online, but face a delay because of shipping for the physical copies, physical copies might suffer a dramatic reduction in popularity because they are "lagging behind".
If this were the true reason, it strikes me as 'postponing the inevetable'.
I can't wait to see World vs. World when there are three full servers going at it!
Total biscuit talking about bugs while walking over an invisible bridge in world v world
Yet again, Tb teaches us why we can't have nice things! :D
As one who has experienced US release dates, even though I was currently living in the EU at the time, there really is no reason that there should be any delay in releasing of a game. If you can get games to American's living in the EU for the US release date, then you should be able to get the game to everybody for the same day.
glad to see your back in the saddle TB, keep bringing everybody hell.
Thanks for the confirmation that From Ashes isn't important for the story. Won't be throwing away that 10 "bucks".
'Keeping bugs at bay' he says, walking across an invisible bridge :D
Best Voice on RUclips is Back! :)
Every Mailbox. Huge cow slicing a sword at the immortal wooden gate!
@SnowsongWolf You know what's also a slow day? Thursday.
"I can't enjoy Video Games anymore" I feel so bad for you TB, I am sorry
The first mailer left out a very important phrase "when it becomes available after launch"
Oh wow, the first time in forever TB has replied to a comment. Holy shit.
i used to think i had a pretty good idea of what to do if i were to ever release a video game. but with every video you put out, one of my preconceptions is mercilessly torn down and stomped into the earth, and I get just a little smarter.
thanks
TB It's entirely possible that certification keeps out not game breaking bugs per se but does keep out CONSOLE breaking bugs, isn't it?
@J50143 If you don't want DLC questions, email me something else, because that's all you lot are sending me right now
@lolsomeWaffle A dog barks, is all that barks a dog?
TB, I'm interested in knowing where you've acquired you're knowledge on the process of game development and publishing.
Theres no mention of the darksiders 2 dlc being day one release, its a bonus for preordering which is not content cut from the start.
Did you guys see when that Mesmer put down the tele-portal on that bridge and then up ahead? I didn't realize everyone else could use it to. That's AMAZING for pvp. holy balls :]

I like how he throws pebbles to survive. xD
Welcome back TB! Take care of yourself.
@Placlu I couldn't agree more. People in the US or EU have no idea how good they have it.
LikSang
@Nester, I took it that he was saying that most people have gaming as a leisure activity, while he has come to associate gaming with work
talking about bugs while casually walking on a invisible bridge :D lol
I hate it how I have to buy ME3 much and much later for a much cheaper price, I actually wanted to give Bioware money for making such an epic game series
@Jacker1up Wasn't the SWTOR delay in AUS because Telstra wouldn't let Bioware/EA set up servers?
is it ok to buy mass effect 3 later when or if it gets to game of the year edition or when it gets sorted out?
I got the Nordic game on Tuesday(Was going to get it on March 8th (Same as the Aussies) while Europe got the game on 9th) So actually the games comes to the stores in Sweden at least, Pretty long before, than the actual release date, so I think it is about the Payday, more than anything else, even when it comes to box games.

Had a kidney and pancreas transplant, was off work for three months. Nearly went insane.
@Placlu Just wondering what is the Min Wage in Australia ?
Here's the mail, it never fails.
It makes me want to wag my tail.
When it comes I want to wail - Mail!
@turtlewearsahat Exactly my thoughts, maybe it is because the retailers can tell the shareholders "Look how many units we sold in a single day".
Oh man World vs. World looks really fun. Is Guild Wars 2 on open beta right now?
Get well soon TB! :)
I normally only Listen to these but its guild wars 2 ive gotta watch
Does that machine in the video have any other attack exept auto nr. 1 because I only saw that 5 is leave the vehicle or whatever that is. And nr. 1 spam.
Welcome back, TB.
FINALLY thank you based biscuit
LMAO. That comment, it made me giggle
Strange how there being a Mailbox determines when and what I have for lunch.
I will stay regardless of when you release content :) once a week is fine with me. Longer videos less often?
God, I hate people who complain about DLC being in the game. WHO CARES! It's DLC, it's MEANT to be bought seperately. EVEN if it's on the disc before release. It's extra stuff that needs to be bought. DLC that is available on day 1 is good if you want extra content right after you beat the game.
TB, I completely understand how bored you get when off work, I took a few days off because I was sick, most boring 3 days of the last few years
@SourTheGamer large save games=infinity lag.I don't know if a patch fixed it,tho.
"I do need to get back to work."
I wish I could say that in the context of work = playing games and commentate.
i dont know about you guys but i love hearing about the same thing in every video, be sure to send more mail about dlc
@Dimensionaluk Waiting for this sound rebuke of yours. Do feel free to provide them, bearing in mind that the ME3 stuff has been proven false already.
@keesplaza you think yours is broken? I dont have any in the related videos!
The Darksiders 2 DLC is noted on the Steam page as coming out a while after launch.
There's one thing about the Darksiders 2 DLC - they did the same thing with Dead Island.
No outro song?
I know what ya mean TB, I hate not having something to do (._. )...not like you will see this anyway but hey, whatever :D Glad to have ya back, your the best!
im not sure, but it sounds like tb only said ´´and so on and so forth´´ only 2 TIMES! thats amazing... Your on language rehab tb.. im proud
Ok so, I have recently read that GW2 release has been pushed back to December 2012.
Would anyone know if this is true?
I'm thinking that it can't be pushed back if it doesn't have a release date yet, but I was guessing release for June - July time. Could we possibly have to wait almost another whole year?
@MrScottishGaming does a boycot count if i had no plans to play it in the first place? xD
I have a question about the DLC-thing. You get the dlc if you preorder Darksiders 2, but is that only from stores from their website? I live in Sweden. Hypothetically, if I were to preorder it from a swedish webstore, would I then not be allowed the DLC since it is not from a store of their website?
