Not really bitchin... but...

Not REALLY appreciating the slam on Southerners.

I mean, you guys are awesome, and keep doing your thing... but... just saying.

@retrometal: now you know how jrpg people feel.

Stop your bitchin.

Someone sounds like they've got a hitch in their giddy-up.

Wait, what? I guess I qualify as "jrpg people" and never felt "slammed". It's just no one on the staff is into that genre.

Except for Jeff saying Persona 4 is one of the best games ever made.

Hey ya'll its just in good fun! Dont get a spurr in your hindquarters!

The South is for jerks. (I grew up in Kentucky)

Tough titties. They make fun of everyone that's not them in every way and think anything they don't like is dumb. Just because it targets you for once doesn't mean a thing.

When did they slam on Southerners? I must have missed that...

Also speaking as a JRPG person (slightly relapsed), I found Persona 4 to be one of the best games ever made....

Brad is southern. I am from Scotland/UK they make fun of the British all the time I don't "get my knickers in a bunch" about it.

Also saying your not doing something then adding "but" is an indication you're going to do what you said you were not going to do.

Brad's a southern man, and they were pretty clearly at pains not to cause any offence there.

Also I'm English, so you can't even begin to understand how we feel.

Get in line, buddy, just behind the europeans, the soccer fans, the anime fans, the Canadians... etc.

I think Brad converted to southernism purely for the jokes!

As a southern anime fan, I'm just about ready to sue for emotional distress.

It's all in good fun, I wouldn't take it seriously. Speaking as someone from Alabama, it's bound to happen.

You would have had a point if you were a Southern Canadian Anime Fan.

Well we're pretty near all Southern Canadians haha

How 'bout a southern fan of anime and JRPG's that also dislikes football and doesn't care much for cars?

People from the south who are stereotypical "southern" are honestly few and far between. Some states/cities are more susceptible to "southerners" but it's definitely the "loud minority" that gets the most attention and bring these stereotypes out. As with any group of people...

I find it funny that they said southerner's were slow a week ago and you're just now getting around to posting this.

Not everybody has the time to listen to a 3hr podcast the day it comes out. I'm not being snarky, being honest.

I'm from the south and I wasn't offended at all, it was just gentle ribbing. If it helps, when Vinny said that southerners were kind of slow (he meant it in jest) I said to myself, "I don't know Vinny, I've seen you play games. You're pretty slow as well."

What really happened has no impact on how funny it looks from the outside, and funny it looked. :D

Us yokels from Texas here just got big softy hearts, so everything offends us.

Quit being so sensitive you hill-jack!

Keep slammin´ those bitches! Heeell yeah!

*mouthharp* *chewin´on a straw*

Looks like a case of "its fun until the joke is on me".

I'm not from the south, but I did go there this month and got a bunch of "Yall's."

I'm from the South and currently live in Tennessee. And yes, all the stereotypes really exist and can be even worse than people imagine.

we don't take kindly to your types around here

I don't want to sound like a racist, but... (immediately says most vile thing imaginable)

lol

You are bitching though.

lol this isn't serious right?

Well, I heard Mister Young sing about her

Well, I heard ole Neil put her down

Well, I hope Neil Young will remember

A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

That podcast is a week old. If it took you this long to process it, maybe they were right?

Look bubba, we can solve this real civil. If you've told your houseboy to ask his momma to be using the juju on the Bombcrew then call that off.

@cramsy: Not really, no.

Bitching, just like a southerner.

The bombcast is totally bitchin', I agree.

And besides, I'm pretty sure he was talking about the cadence of speech, not intelligence. I'm not sure how that could even be construed as negative.

It's better if you read the opening post -really- slowly.

Speaking for myself, I'm from the south and none of that shit offends me in the least. Never be insecure or upset over the little stuff.

You're just sour that you lost the war!

Southerners and Midwesterners are the dregs of our society according to people in The Bay Area...

Let's never forget that Brad has the highest and lowest voice of the Bombsquad. Sorry, California, those dulcetones are only produced in Cacklacky.

This is why the North won and is still superior in every way imaginable.
