Kessler would make a good member of Giant Bomb, not saying he should be, but he's not awful like the community seems to think. I mean seriously most of us are in on the joke of razzing the intern, but some people legitimately hate him for no good reason because they take the GB crew way to seriously. I would even go as far to say that Kessler is my favorite intern, who's with me?
What you don't see from the thumbnail is where Dave's other hand is.
Also thought having Kessler on was a fun change of pace.
What you Kessler haters don't know is that he consumes your hatred and only grows more powerful because of it.

Kessler is only at his best when he is a punching bag: a large, squishy punching bag.

He's the only intern who's voice I can stand. I think it's actually kinda cute :3 And he's entertaining, well versed, intelligent, even funny. I hope to be satisfied with his performance in this here TNT!
This TNT was too short and they didn't even try to make it entertaining.
I will always cherish Dave and Kessler's moment though.
I actually enjoyed the Heroes VI segment when it was going on, but of course I'm the guy on this website with an icon from that series. So maybe I'm the exception.
well...I hate short TNT's...but I like them short when they pick some pretty uninteresting games
@NekuCTR: Oh, I'd go so far as to say he should be regular staff. He's been around a long time, the features he does on their youtube channel (Fear Gauntlet anyone) are excellently done and probably some of my favourite regular segments on the site period. He also seems to like/cover games that may not necessarily be up the other editors ally like JRPGs, which is something they've really needed on staff for a while.
@cancerdancer: Way to be an asshole. Also Jeff has lost a decent amount of weight.
@NekuCTR: I don't really have a favorite or even know who they all are but I agree that he's the shit. He writes good reviews and FEAR GAUNTLET! Fear Gauntlet is awesome. Both him and Steve from the FEAR GAUNTLET! definitely have the right stuff to be part of the Giant Bomb staff in the future.
Something about Dave in the thumbnail of this TNT reminds me of J.F. from Blade Runner

You're not, Warhammer was really boring compared to Heroes VI. Sadly the 480p quality made me suffer through the whole thing and not being able to show their faces/reactions while they were playing was very unfortunate...I guess I'm spoiled though. :/
Dave kinda saved the day with his "love" for Kessler, so heart-warming. :P
I suddenly felt old when I realized that they probably HAD to explain how to play Heroes of Might and Magic since people probably haven't ever played it like me and my friends did when I was a teenager.
Also SPACE MARINE
Fear Gauntlet is not part of the regular GiantBomb content for a reason. I tried watching them and it's just not funny. Especially listening to Steve try to grasp on to any minor thing and turn it into a joke is just painful.

OH NO, KESSLER
edit: seriously look at him what is he doing to dave
Kessler is ALL sorts of ugly. I don't normally bash people for their looks, but when personal grooming, basic fashion sense and physical health is thrown out of the window, it looks REALLY bad.
He just needs to shave and not wear such tight fitting shirts. Buy some larger shirts. Also get a haircut and buy larger frames for his glasses. His glasses look tiny on his face.

Kessler is great, Dave is great, but fuck man. This TNT was pretty boring.
Yup.
@Ho_Blivion: Nah, Fear Gauntlet has some really funny moments like when Kessler started singing "Stayin' Alive" when this seriously crazy violent bum started walking towards him in Condemned. Hilarious. Lot's of great episodes and a bunch of cool games I've never played. It's a good show and they host it well.
I like Kessler but i will NOT have him trash talk Dark Messiah. He was talking out his ass on that one...unless he was talking about the console version, cause then sheesh.
I enjoyed playing HoMM 5 gameplay but that was some of the worst gameplay I've ever seen =(
Moves without attacks. Moving ranged units off the backline when they're not threatened... Using vampires on non squishies...
It hurts!
Oh and Kings Bounty was the prototype for the original HoMM and in fact was included on the CD of HoMM. The new King's Bounty is just a rehash of a HoMM game. Probably as close to HoMM 3 as you can get.
I really enoyed the fact that you gave Might & Magic a shot since I liked the second strategy game of the series a whole lot. As cool as the SP game looks - Space Marine MP seemed a bit underwhelming unfortunately but it was still fun. Plus having Dave on for a whole TNT was very nice too.
Cool, Kessler. I don't know why people hate him. Sure, he's not pretty to look at, but most people on this planet aren't pretty to look at (you know that's true). He seems to be enthusiastic, talkative, reasonably knowledgeable and pretty funny as well, at times. He's alright in my book. Sure, sometimes he's a little too enthusiastic, but it's better than having a silent, brooding, guy who doesn't say anything and just sits there.
Well, in a way Kessler was actually right there; Kings Bountywas in fact a precursor to Heroes of Might and Magic. Sharing the same creator and being the first out and succeeded by the Might and Magic series that retained elements from Kings Bounty. Kings Bounty came out in 1991 whereas the first Might and Magic was around 1995. So perhaps not intented as such but in a way Kessler was indeed valid in saying that they are similar.

I don't want to make negative assumptions, but it seem to me like the three of you are trying to be intentionally mean. I understand finding the video boring, so did I. What I don't understand is personal attacks against others. I was wondering if you could explain to me why you would want/like to put someone else down? I personally don't see the appeal, but maybe I just don't know enough about it. Maybe if you explained your perspective on putting people down, I might be able to see it through your eyes and find the appeal in it, or at the very least, understand the reason for it. Thank you in advance for your patience in helping me understand.

IE: 99% of the GB community if they were sitting on that couch.
Kessler's got good presentational abilities. Its too bad he got off the wrong foot with the GB community because he was a lot worse at it a couple of years ago.
- I love when Jeff interrupts at 17:00! His Skylanders obsession is hilarious! :D
Am i the only one who thinks that Dave and Kessler sitting so closely together is kinda cute?

So THAT'S why everyone hates him. Man, this makes total sense. It's been bugging me this whole time. Screw them anyway, it's their loss.

More Kessler = More Awesome!
Agreed.
I love what Kessler and Steve are doing on GB's YouTube channel.
I like this guy. I also like Patrick Kelpic. I mean Vinny will always be my favorite cause he's an amazing piece of man.
But I think he's funny
Also please someone tell him his glasses are way to small for his head
