John Carpenter's Halloween or Rob Zombie's Halloween?

Rob Zombie's Halloween movies are the only ones as far as I'm concerned.

Also beta sooooon, some of the bigger bugs and security holes are being worked out right now.

First to deface the beta gets...?

new site looks just like the old site. thought this was supposed to be different. this is lame.

Disappointment of the century. Where are my tax dollars going?

George Broussard's internet porn fund.

I feel bad for recognising this as a Duke Nukem Forever joke.

I never even played the game. Good to see a quirp I thought of in a few seconds equate to that game's sense of humor.

That was something Alex said in a Hotspot podcast back in like 2006, one of my favourite clips

That's good news; I'm really looking forward to checking it out. Every time I see a new twitter message I get excited thinking it's Dave saying it's up.

Dave has gone dark

He's diving into the ghost of the shell

No, the site went all Tron and Dave has been sucked into the giant bomb beta world where he'll be running from the bugs in a hell of his own making.

They should quick look that.

And I thought this Dota 2 match of 55 minutes would be enough to make the new site beta go live. Guess not.

Yay for breaking things!

This watitng is killing me.

What? I've been using the new site for like an hour, you guys are nuts.

Every knew tweet I open and it's not Dave. It's a cycle of excitement and disappointment.

I read excitement as excrement. I must be going insane.

Wait..... something live on Giantbomb is late? Phew. Everything is in perfect order then.

Glad to see my brain isn't as original as I thought it was. Fuck man, what a golden age of podcasting that was.

Because I don't give a fuck.

I will tip over my half drunk (or is it drank?) bottle of orange soda if I don't get my damn beta soon!

I believe the word you are looking for is drankered.

A drankerd is an ex-alcoholic. Y'know like "He was a drunkard but then he quit, so now he's a drankerd."

So what is an ex-alcoholic who starts drinking again? An un-drankerd or a re-drankerd? Maybe an anti-drankerd.

I'm so stupid. It's just an ex-drankerd. How dumb can I be.

Yeah man. You ever listened to the "This Year" podcasts? They're like the greatest hits of podcasts. There's 8.5 hours of The Hotspot from 2006, and 3 hours from 2005. http://www.thisyearcollection.org/p/archive.html

@Video_Game_King: Hey Video Game King! Why'd You Steal My GIF Folder!

I wonder if the site will start looking like gamespot?

most of the stuff associated with gamespot through cbs interactive such as gamefaqs, vgchartz...etc started adopting the same style.

@WilliamRLBaker: looks nothing like it, they showed a preview during a live thing recently.

I haven't, no. I listened one of the Giant Bombcast ones, though, and really liked it. Guess I know what I'll be listening to tonight. Thanks, duder!

They did a collection for every year of Giantbomb stuff too. Great stuff! They also do other podcasts as well.

It's an easy grammatical error to make, don't beat your self up.

And I'm assuming it did not meet your expectations.

@Benny: Might just be broke out of the gate cause I'm just getting 500:Internal Servor Error

500: Internal Server Error

A 500 error occurs when something on our end blows up in a bad way. Seriously, they like to refer to it as an “Internal Server Error,” which I think sounds a little gross, but then my mind has been in the gutter for decades. So when you say that, I think of… you know what? You’re better off not knowing what I’m thinking about. The site broke. Something in the code went wrong, and you looking at this page doesn’t do anything to fix it. There’s some good news, though: You viewing this page notifies us that something broke. So at least you’re doing your part to help get it fixed, right? Right?

Yeah, I’m not buying it, either. If this message persists, head over to the forums and post about it. If you’re receiving this message while attempting to go to the forums to post about it, then... pssh, I don’t know, man. Or woman. I don’t mean to be gender-specific back there. Look, let’s just forget you ever saw this page or read this message, OK? Mistakes have been made, and we can all agree on that now.

Operation refresh until errors go away commencing.
