It takes prime talent to make something so dumb. Alexis did a great job.

I-is that Whiskey Media's interpretation of the world? I would subscribe but...most of the features are useless to me and I really need the cash to upgrade my PC. Sorry lads!

#5 Posted by Dany (7877 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

I'm already helping you guys out but damn that sounds like a fun idea!

#6 Posted by Vager (1645 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

"A new car!" made me laugh hard.

#7 Posted by AlisterCat (5025 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

It crashed Chrome, but hey, such excellence comes at a price. Really hope you guys come to England. Even you Dave! We'll talk PC games and websites.

#8 Posted by Zaph (270 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

God, Firefox's JS performance is shoddy as fuck.
 
Thankfully Chrome nailed it.

#9 Posted by MisterMouse (3495 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

haha the voices are great! and it is really tempting me to get a membership

#10 Posted by Weltal (2250 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

Wow, this sounds awesome.
 
But uhh, hey, some more details would be cool. Like when and how and what and where and who and how, and also how.

#11 Posted by KaosAngel (13766 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

So wait, am I getting another free shirt?

#12 Posted by President_Barackbar (3152 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

If I didn't already live in the same state as the GB crew I might be more excited.

#13 Posted by ThePhantomnaut (5860 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

THE LABREA TARPITS!

#14 Posted by Zimbo (874 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

Oh man, that new t-shirt is sweet. I might actually get a yearly subscription for 2011. 
 
Let me just check if I got paid yesterday.

#15 Posted by ckeats (489 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

I wish there were enough people in my city to get there here, or even in my province. I doubt I'll be able to travel to any of the Canada shows. 
Maybe I could subscribe a friend as a "gift" and keep the shirt. Evil maybe, but hey, sweet shirt.

#16 Posted by KaosAngel (13766 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

Is the new shirt just for new subscribers or are current ones getting one too?  -_- 
 
Now I'm confused as hell.

I would also like to know if there is a way for me to have the new shirt

It also doesn't help that the site says "Thanks for Being A Member" and whatnot when i do try to go to the store.  -_- 
 
Dave!  Explain, also explain when your promised HTML5 site is going up.

from what I understand, it's gonna be available to buy on the happy hour, like those other shirts/hoodies or whatever they were.
#22 Posted by Musou (331 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

Just subscribed, even though I don't think they'll come to Brazil =p
 
And the Lincoln Force T-shirt is effing amazing

#23 Posted by jakob187 (20685 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

Okay, wait...what does this mean?  Like, you are going to schedule live Bombcasts around the world for people to attend, much like PAX?  Giant Bomb is going to visit our hometowns and we'll go get tanked at the local bars?  Are they going to search around for the lamest arcade in the country (which I can almost guarantee is the one in MY hometown)?  I'm confused on what exactly this thing is. 
 
Moreover, are they going to set up meet and greets or anything?  Deets, man.  We need deets. 
 
Also, I feel this is an opportunity to say... 

DAMN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE A MEMBER!!!

#24 Posted by Video_Game_King (29327 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

At least the Moon's getting some love.

#25 Posted by Megasoum (321 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

All that and yet, six months laters, we still don't have paypal support... Also, a membership package that isn't a rip-off for people outside of the US would be appreciated...

#26 Posted by snide (2389 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

To be clear. New subscribers will get the Lincoln Force shirt. 
 
Old subscribers will be able to buy the shirt on Friday. We'll send an email and announce more details then. 
 
Don't worry, if you want a shirt, you'll get one.

#27 Posted by listerfeend (51 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

You guys, this needs to happen. Make this happen for me! I CAN'T BE A MEMBER MORE THAN I AM RIGHT NOW!

#28 Edited by KaosAngel (13766 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago
@snide: What about that proper HTML5 site, any chance it'll hit before the end of this year?  >.>
#29 Edited by Echo (390 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

God damn, this sounds amazing. I hope enough people subscribe for you guys to come to Australia. I've wanted to meet Jeff, Ryan, Brad, Alex and Rorie since the GameSpot days. So amped! 
 
 Also, If you guys are looking for a place to do a talk in Melbourne, I suggest ACMI at Federation Square. Really easy to get to and the place has theatres with stages and big screens. Then Beer Deluxe is right next door!

#30 Edited by ThePhantomnaut (5860 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

I wish I can buy the shirt but I need to stand by my 2010 member shirt and my GB logo shirt. :)

#31 Posted by shadyspace (457 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

Now THIS is how you increase subscriptions!

#32 Posted by yoshimitz707 (2379 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

Wait, are all these going to be at bars? I can't drink until I'm 19.

P.S. I will kill every Canadian who doesn't subscribe if this fails!!

#33 Posted by shadyspace (457 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

To be clear, does going from silver to gold membership count towards the 15,000 required subscriber count?

#34 Posted by FlyingRat (1444 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

I think there are like 5 people from Holland on this site...  :(
 
Cool idea though, guys.

#35 Posted by DeeGee (1947 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago
@snide:  The last time shirts went on sale, they sold out before I reached the checkout. What's the chances of this happening again?

Uh. I can definitely say we have waaay more than that. You'd be surprised.
#37 Posted by LiquidS (961 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

I hope Canada gets to our quota as I am curious to see what cities would be included in the tour besides Vancouver & Toronto. If you come to Calgary I will let you use my basement in exchange for a T--Shirt.

Alright, well that's cool then... Still leaves the problem of not having a credit card, but maybe i can find someone who will let me use theirs.
#39 Posted by JellyFish_Gsus (743 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

Going subscribe in the morning. I doubt enough members from Ireland would make it a stopping point. But a man can dream!! 
 
Also I want that shirt. 

#40 Posted by Thoseposers (610 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

Awesome idea guys, can't wait to see the great videos that come from this. I just had a question though Dave, if i wanted to upgrade to gold have i missed the chance of getting the roller coaster shirt? Cause that was a pretty sick shirt.

#41 Posted by Brackynews (3328 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago
#42 Posted by strangone (178 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

Almost makes me wish I wasn't leaving Toronto in a month, since that would be a likely stop in Canada. But then I think of the government-run liquor stores, and that feeling goes away.

#43 Posted by ThatFrood (3254 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

So... if the other regions beat the US to getting the required number of subscribers... Dave doesn't go to Russia?
Man... if I were outside of the states right now, I'd almost not want to upgrade to yearly!

#45 Posted by JeffGoldblum (3596 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

I finally went yearly for the Lincoln Force T shirt. You guys are welcome.

#46 Posted by Bonsai (92 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

@Snide 
 
Hey, if you guys meet your U.S. quota, that means Chicagoland right? Please let it mean you would come out to Chicago.

#47 Posted by Blubba (523 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

Can't wait until you guys come to Orlando! 

#48 Posted by nick_verissimo (1321 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

This is pretty damn tempting, but I've haven't been able to buy dead space 2 and a few other games that I've wanted to pick up lately, so I might have to pass for the time being.

#49 Posted by TurboMan (5499 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

there seems to be a lot of members that live in the south(VA, NC, SC)... can we get a place somewhere closer than Florida?

#50 Posted by ArbitraryWater (8986 posts) - 2 years, 2 months ago

If I can buy that Lincoln Force shirt separately, I will do so. Just don't ask me to buy a yearly subscription.
