Main Thread: Here

Paul & Adam. Sorry Norm.

After a slew of easy choices, 2 real tough ones at once. Man, I... I just don't know.

Barnett was an easy pick, but I was split at the second one. Had to go with Norm in the end though.

Why can't I vote for Adam Boyes and Norm Chan?

Edit: Never mind.

Had to vote for Norm and Paul, because the amazing grudge match TNT between Norm and Brad in StarCraft II was great, and I love the trio of Paul Barnett Quick Looks from 2010 (that was him in that Game Room one, the X-Men one, and the XBLA Quake one, right?).

Barnett and Norm fo' life!

Nothing stops the Chan Van!

gotta go with norm "racist" chan

Voted for Paul and Boyes. Would've voted for Norm if he was up against Paul, ah well.

@MooseyMcMan: you are right on those quick-looks.

Jonny V for life

Dude yet again you put my two favourite dudes against each other. I HATE YOU.

#CHAN

What if I want Adam Boyes and Norman Chan? THIS IS WHY DEMOCRACY DOESN'T WORK.

Adaaaaaaaaaaaaam! NOOO!

Chan over Boyes? I'm very disappointed Giant Bomb.

Team Chan!

COLAYCO 4EVER

OLD-SCHOOL HOTSPOT REPRESENT

Go Chan! If you don't vote for Chan, get out of here!

I wanted to vote for Adam and Norman; but will instead vote for Bob and Adam.

Sorry Jose Roberto Colayco, you have been out-gunned sir.

As for Chan vs. Boyes, I gotta go for Chan as he hits Whiskey Media closer to home.

Just vote for Norm..what about Will Smith and Norman Chan. Miss those guys....no slight mean't to the other guys really. I simply regarded Will and Norm as participants for GB, I know they had their own thing.

Have to go with Barnett and Chan for this one. Was a tough one between Adam Boyes but I have never heard of Colayco.

@JohnDudebro: **salutes**

Bob Colayco is the reason why the HotSpot was created. His efforts were what introduced me to Jeff and the rest of the staff in the first place so he wins in my book.

#chan

All you whippersnappers with your new podcast guests and your baggy jeans and your rap music. Why, in my day, our podcasts always starred Rich, Jeff, Bob and a rotating guest! And it was an hour, all news, none of these three hour pizza discussions you get now! And goddammit we liked it that way!

RESPECT YOUR ELDERS: VOTE COLAYCO

Why is more than the one, true, choice?

#chan

You guys know that voting Adam and Chan would just pit them against each other on the next level of the bracket, right? You're just being asked to make the decision one step earlier.

Also, glad my roommate shares my sensibilities, as I can't vote multiple times from the same IP. Barnett/Boyes. Norm is a fine choice, but the dynamic between Johnny V and Adam Boyes is almost unstoppably fantastic. Those not voting for Boyes must not have watched those livestreams from right before Johnny got married.

...though, then again, someone could criticize me right back for not watching any of The Amazing Test either.

Barnett is going to take this no matter who he's up against

That's the best rhyming cheer I've ever heard.

Damn putting me up against Paul Barnett? I think I wouldn't even vote for myself against Paul Barnett.

NCHAN 4 LYFE

Threw in my vote for the Boyes/Barnett ballot. Chan is awesome and all, but when it relates to Giant Bomb, the only thing he has going for him is the Brad Starcraft thing. Adam's sole involvement is with GB, and we all know how that turned out. Tell me, has Chan been in a video THIS impactful??

Adam and Norman should win this grudge match.

Paul & Norm.

This is GIANT BOMB Golden Duder.... NOT, Whiskey Media Golden Duder.... Why are people voting for Chan in such high numbers??? - Yes i love Norm too, and also feel very loyal to him.... but come on, he hasn't contributed anywhere near the amount of awesomeness to Giant Bomb that Adam has... Think of all the amazing moments that Adam has bought to the Bombcasts, Quick Looks, the many random videos, and particularly the E3 'late night beer cast' specials...

Sort it out duders

Paul and Adam get my vote. Sorry #Chan

Damn you winternet for making me choose between Boyes and Chan. Damn you to hell!

This, so much. I wasn't taking it too seriously before, but shit just got real.

I want to vote for Adam and Norm.

Unfortunately, this poll will have to be closed earlier than usual. I'm not entirely sure when it will be closed, but it will be in the next 4 to 8 hours (as opposed to 11 hours from now)

Also, Day Six will be up earlier than usual, again, in the next 4 to 8 hours.
