I want Will to win the overall but I just dont think he can beat the human meme that is Matt Rorie.If Will beats Greg then I will consider this a victory well earned.

I love me, but Kasavin and Muir made two of my all-time favorite games.
BUT I LOVE YOU!?

I'm disturbed by the fact that it seems like these ex-Whiskey Media guys are winning over people who have had more to do with Giant Bomb (ie, Johnny V and Brad Muir).
Kinda my position. I think Brad Muir is more of a staple to coming from outside and adding something special to GB specifically than ex-WM guys.
Rorie hasn't done as much for GB as Muir. Love Rorie more, but gotta vote Muir.
Now, Kasavin vs. Smith is ACTUALLY a tough call in terms of GB involvement and awesome. I voted Smith, but it's no slight against Mr. K.
Also, Muir being crushed right now? P'SHAAAAAAAW.
Muir is an easy pick (I like Rorie a lot too but compared to MooEar? No chance)
Smith vs. Kasavin on the other hand... That's probably the hardest battle in this entire tournament so far.
I really don't know who to pick. Looks like I'll have to flip a coin. For an internet poll. About people I've never met.
:/
Brad Muir? pfft please, that guy made the most broken ass busted xbla game i have ever played, 'Trenched'.
Will Smith & Matt Rorie. Easy.

Yep people voting for personalities on the internet..... no way it can become popularity contest right!?!? that being said ex WM guys are pretty awesome and I would say deserve to be in top 8 for sure.
lets be honest the final for "Giantbomb's Golden Duder" should be Johnny V vs Brad Muir, but oh well.
If Brad Muir wasn't going up against Rorie, would have totally voted for him, but I've got faith of the Rorie, and thus, he will always get my vote!
Can we change the name of the Golden Duder to the "Which ex-Whiskey Media staff member do you miss the most?"

This was much easier than I thought it would be.
Brad & Greg all the way!
They are losing! We need more votes!

I can only think of one explanation for this, people are voting wrong by mistake!
Kasavin/Muir. I've already expressed that I'm not the biggest fan of Rorie, and while Will Smith has certainly tested some "As Seen on TV" products on live internet, Greg Kasavin made Bastion. Also that one video where he talks about how awesome the Neo Geo is.

It seems this poll will go down in history as proof that majority of GB users are idiots and have no business being here. Oh well.
All upset. Throwing out insults.
Yes, the majority of the people voting in this popularity contest are voting for the people that show up more often(thus becoming more popular) so they must be idiots. I must have missed the part where this was about who made better video games.

Yeah, I guess we can debate what the title actually means. To me, it's about contributions to GiantBomb podcast/video content.
Only Will's contribution (Latern Run) can compete with Kasavin's Skyrim marathon and Building the Bastion or Muir's recent CAH game (or any of the other random times he has shown up and made videos better). Rorie shouldn't even be up here, since only GB thing I can think of that he was in... was it D3 Beta QL or something?
If this was Whiskey Media related competition, I might understand your point.
@Dunchad: Rorie was also in the Dark Souls Quick Look, but I'm pretty sure that aside from Cross Whiskey Media events (Big Live Live Show, Happy Hour, etc), he hasn't done anything else with the GB crew (in terms of content put on the site, obviously he hung out with them and everything).

The whole point of this was indeed who has made a bigger contribution to GiantBomb, but it seemed to quickly turn into a popularity competition by people as they can't read. This is the reason why Johnny V and John Drake are out :(
I think @Winternet should end the poll by saying that everybody is a winner and that while there can only be one Highlander, there is room for several Golden Duders in our hearts. Or...
Maybe he could set up an event to determine the real Golden Duder. Send invitations to everyone on the poll, hand katanas at the door and give the plaque to the last person standing.

Pretty sure the katana thing would favour Norm, given the existing video evidence that he is a master fruit ninja.

Who gives two shits, this is for fun, try to have some.
Rorie must win.
He is the goldenest duder, not simply of giant bomb, no you are thinking too small.
He is the golden duder of the Universe.
Miss Golden Universe/Puppies.
To those saying Sir.Rorie had no impact on giant bomb, nobody else has ever touched Ryan that way before...even his fiancé.
@Xeirus:
But you know, as silly as this is, it would've been a nice gesture towards the person that won. GB community saying: "Hey, we appreciate your contributions. Please visit more often.". But now, it's just: "Hey, we think Rorie squeeing about puppies is funny. And boy is that Will's cum-face meme hilarious.".
That just makes me a bit sad.

and you calling everyone idiots is suppose to make it better some how?
If the guys that are actually in the poll aren't bothered it make zero sense for anyone else to be, like I said before it's for fun, how you can turn it into a name-calling place to complain is way more sad than anything people are saying.
That's a real tough choice having to choose between Rorie and Muir. Love both of them so much, but at the end of the day, I'm going with both Will and Rorie.
If Rorie wins, he'll just say something about it on Twitter and this whole contest would have been a waste. If Brad won, then you know he woukd take it and run with it, especially since he's going to E3. I think as Whiskey staff they never should have been on here, especially since the real reason people are voting for both Will and Rorie have nothing to do with Giant Bomb and everything to do with whiskey live shows.
Man this was so tough. So tough.
Everyone was a winner.
But I hope the actual winners are Rorie and Greg
Holy shit people are taking this so seriously God fucking Damn, this is why I never read any of the actual responses in these threads I guess.
It's just a dumb popularity contest you guys
This has been the finest contest known to mankind!
Just making it to the Final Four is a dream come true for all collegiate athletes and game developers. I'd like to thank the Giant Bomb community for their awesomeness. @Winternet thanks for setting this up! I got way too invested in this over the last couple of weeks and it's been a huge and hilarious ego boost for me. If I can't make it to the finals, then good luck to Rorie!
I hope to be on more ridiculous content with the huggable men of this site!
VIDEO GAMES
Love,
Brad
