RORIE

Rorie and Whitta!

Rocco is good but he's got nothing or rorie or Whitta! Shoot that guy!

I think I can predict the result of this one :)

ROCCO IS THE BEST

There is no other choice.

DON'T MAKE ME DECIDE BETWEEN MATT RORIE AND ROCCO BOTTE!

This is more than likely going to be the most one sided set of rounds yet. Rorie and Gary all the way.

Rorie and Whitta, no contest.

Shoot that guy! And...Macs are bad! (Trying to come up with a Rorie reference there that wasn't puppies.)

Edit: Also, calling Gary Whitta a guest on the Tested podcast is untrue, he is a regular member of their podcast, despite not actually working for Tested. There are far more with him than without.

Seriously. It's like choosing a favorite child.

This is no contest

Poor Dan Teasdale is getting worked over, i like him way more than i like gary whitta

As much as I love Mega 64, I have to vote for our boy Rorie and Whitta. Whitta's accent is what got me! :D

The people have spoken. WE WANT RORIE!

Since I'm most likely going to lose anyway in a landslide, why not toss a sympathy vote for me over Gary so that my feelings aren't completely crushed! Some choice reasons why:

• Gary wrote some stuff about zombies. I actually survived malaria (which is basically as close as we get to zombies)
• Gary wrote for an Amiga magazine, I still own a copy of The Great Giana Sisters for Amiga
• Gary co-founded PC Gamer magazine, I once visited their website by accident
• I have enjoyed exactly zero episodes of My Little Pony
• I am sick, and a vote may make me healthy enough to go to work tomorrow and continue making a game for you. Can Gary promise that? ONLY PARTIALLY.

Thank you for your sympathy vote consideration.

Matt Rorie to win it all !

@DeliciousBees: Guys, how do I change my vote? HOW DO I CHANGE MY VOTE THIS GUY IS AWESOME!?

Damn, now I want to change my vote.

@MooseyMcMan: I think "regular guest" conveys that well, no?

@DeliciousBees: After that post, how can someone not vote for you? You have my vote, sir.

The fact that Matt Rorie is without a job is a fucking travesty. The most skilled writer Whiskey Media ever had.

@DeliciousBees said:

If you'd said that you still own a copy of The Great Giana Sister for C64 you might have had something.

I feel sorry for Rocco and Dan. Whitta and Rorie will take this in a landslide.

Not that it matters, but I agree with @MooseyMcMan. Gary is a co-host. A legitimate example of a "regular guest" on "This is Only a Test" would be Brad or Loyd. But, I still think this tournament is an awesome idea!

@Kingfalcon: @MooseyMcMan well, in that case, changes have been made

Justice has been made!

Rocco is fucking awesome but he´s not a duder. I hate Gary Whitta and Dan, well I haven´t seen him that much. So my vote goes to RORIE AND JUST RORIE. I can´t believe there is no Brad Muir here. How could he lost? He´s fucking amazing.

@Deusx: This is a tournament. Brad Muir is still in it, just in a different part of the bracket. Check the main thread for more info.

Like anyone could ever even think for a second about voting for someone other than Dan Teasdale: The Australian Stallion.

You know, I really like Rocco and the Mega64 crew's appearances on Giant Bomb a whole lot but Matt Rorrie. The Boss of Bosses.

I'm bored. Do you want any banners or images made for this whole thing? It's a really great idea.

Just make some and force it on him. It'll be fine.

@Hunkulese: Universally acclaimed screenwriter would be better, you're right.

@AlisterCat: That would be great. My banner was made in 2 minutes on Paint. I seriously lack the skills to make anything better. I would appreciate it a lot.

Rorie & Whitta. I would like to vote on all of them, but sadly I can't.

Rorie!!!!!!!!!!!!

@Hunkulese: It will be two credits next year, though I have no idea how After Earth will turn out. I always think of Titan: A.E. when I hear that title.

I voted for Gary and Rorie. After all Gary gave us "Use more skill" and "Shoot that guy!" I may have chosen Derrick Acosta over Rorie, had he been in the poll.

That'd be mean.

Here, I made this. You don't have to use it obviously. If you have any suggestions let me know.

I have no idea what this thing is but Rorie all the way.

Dude, you can't lay this on me AFTER I voted? Now I just feel bad :(

Rorie and Whitta is like, the ultimate combination!

Rorie is the most enjoyable person and talented writer ever associated with Whiskey Media!

Matt Rorie - Never forget

OH MY GOD YOU GUYS SUCK, CANT EVEN SEE THE RIGHT ANSWER EVEN THOUGH IT'S RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU

Man some poor seeding for Rocco, he'd had won if it was against anyone else

Rocco is great but let's face it, he couldn't shine Rorie's shoes.
