ALT+F1 - It's not that i don't like Drew or Danny i just really don't care about F1

Scoops and the Wolf - I only skip episodes with Alex in it because i find him insufferable

Anything DOTA related - Don't hate DOTA i just have 0 interest in DOTA.

8-4 Play - I just have never given it a listen. I am sure it's great but from what i am told it's more about the japanese market and like DOTA i have 0 interest in niche japanese titles.

Worth Playing/Reading - It's not that i don't check these out it's just i forget and end up not reading or watching all the content. I think it's great i just forget to check it out.

Fantastic news. Still getting it on PS4 and playing it there first but it's awesome to know that 1-2 years after i beat it on PS4 i can snag it on sale for $10 and replay it maxed out.

I would actually be more interested in MGS 1-3 + PW coming to PC.

It's only scary if you don't have personality or are out of touch with today's market. I don't mean to talk down or call anyone a shitty critic but we live in a world where people want personality and video content.

Reviews in the grand scheme of things don't matter and the fact that many people are making millions on twitch and YT prove that. People want personality and entertainment and the people who want to be informed have their blogs and feeds to get news. It's not a scary time for game critics it's a scar time for people who can't adapt in a always changing field that is the video game industry.

The purpose of showering is to not be sweaty and stinky around other people, so I shower about 15 minutes before I leave the house -- whatever time of day that may be.

I can understand if you are a morning runner but unless you are a non-human who suddenly develops terrible hygiene in the 6-9 hours you sleep you don't HAVE to shower in the mornings. And unless you have that alien condition it doesn't matter if you do it at night or in the mornings.

I do morning showers because i don't take 5 minute showers and i am one of those insufferable people who uses a lot of skin care and body care product and prep time even out of the shower takes a good 15 minutes because of the lotions i apply and shaving and i don't like to spend the first hour of my morning doing those things, i prefer to wake up, drink a giant mug of coffee and catch up on a few things for an hour and then go to work.

You also don't have to shampoo/condition every day and it kind of baffles me that people do that, it's doing more harm to your hair then good.

Hopefully this ridiculous shit ends by the end of the week because this whole sexism/racism thing is some of the most absurd goddamn shit.

They hired 2 people who are a good fit for their team. Race, gender and sexuality wasn't a determining factor and the fact you people are trying to make that into a issue is racist and sexist in itself. Put your social justice badge back in your pocket and stop trying to make something out of nothing.

Have you people seen the diversity that fills CBSi? You act as if Jeff, the team or whoever was involved in the hiring was sitting in a room laughing, burning resumes that consisted of non-white straight males while smoking cigars and looking at playboys. I expect this kind of shit from GAF but i thought this forum would not fall into bullshit.

Yes, diversity is great but nobody has said A word since the conception of Giant Bomb but now that the 2 new hires are "allegedly" white everyone is outraged? Did anyone stop to think that maybe nobody sent in applications who were good fit who weren't white or a woman? Did anyone stop to think that when Jeff was hiring he had a couple of people in mind and those people just happened to be white?

And before someone reads this the wrong way i am in no way shape or form saying that black men/women, hispanic men/women or asian men/women or homosexuals wouldn't fit in at GB i am just saying this is a ridiculous argument that should of never made it past A page. Not everything that happens in this world has some agenda against people of color or homosexuals or women.

Jesus christ i feel like i have stumbled into some white knight fedora m'lady thread.

Sounded like the guy in the red shirt put up air quotes when he said "journalist" when explaining who Jeff was and then the guy in the Mega shirt started showing some massive salt towards him essentially calling him one of the worst reviewers by putting him up there with *drumroll* himself. He said he's up there with the Gamespot guy who gave Zelda:Twilight Princess a 8.8 who was Jeff.

I love the salt.

Does this mean no more vinny on the podcast? Because Vinny is like 75% of the reason why i and a lot of people listen to it. Not that Brad/Jeff/Drew aren't entertaining, it's just Vinny is hilarious. As for the launch of the New Yahk GB i am excited, i hope this means we get to see more Alex content. Maybe a unprofessional Monday show with Vinny and Alex because nothing is more unprofessional then being unprofessional on a Monday.

Still cannot believe the amount of people who say and believe in

" I'll wait until it appears on PS+/SteamSale/HumbleBundle "

Still cannot believe those people are intelligent enough to post on the internet either.

e: I am however not using adblock on certified safe sites with reliable ad providers. And yes I believe the people who sit and wait for sales are pretty fucking special. And yes I use anything, even clothes, in real life until it breaks, because I believe in getting the most out of something. And yes, I'm back to collecting arcade games, triple digits per game and enjoying every credit and then some. There is value in not waiting for a sale. There is value in not crying about spoilers due to waiting ten months before buying a game.

You can't believe that there are college kids who can't afford to drop $30,40,60 on games like you can? Some people don't have money to buy all these games and rely on a service like PS+ or steam sale/humble bundles. There is nothing wrong with it. To think lesser of them or to consider them ignorant just makes you come off a douche bag prick.
