So I might have an opportunity to live in the Greater SF area (Palo Alto) for an extended but still temporary amount of time. I have never lived anywhere where commuting was anything other than driving a car. The duders have spoken about their commutes many times (Rorie commuting from Oakland, etc.). Does anybody remember any podcasts/videos where they've talked about what areas they are coming from/what they do during the ride? I'm just curious what they've said about the bart, muni, caltrain, etc.

Too bad Quests aren't a thing anymore, or else I'd finally knock out that "Have a staff member comment on your post" one.

Oh man, you are officially my enabler now. The speed man.

The SPEED.

I did a search for this but didn't find anything so....

I've started watching YouTube videos at 1.5x speed. It's still easy to follow and the videos are much shorter so I can fit in a little more than I would otherwise. When I go to watch a premium GB video, everything seems SO SLOW now.

Is there anything in the works for the native GB video player to add variable speed playback, @rorie ?

Does it matter or make a difference between the roku dongle player and the builtin rokuTV app?

I stretched my Rust legs on a similar community server (FWIW it was the unofficial Yogscast Sips server). While there was still a little bit of RPKing, for the most part the server population was pretty chill. Being able to make a run along a road or to a monument and run into a guy and have a conversation like "hey find anything good?" instead of being shot down by everyone you come across was pretty great. Of course, it doesn't really reflect "normal" rust society, but it gives you a chance to actually get a feel for all the systems of the game instead of just constantly fighting for a semblance of safety. I've deleted Rust, but I may have to fire it back up and check out the server.

Like used in this fashion is simply a filler word similar to uh, umm, err, and uh, etc. Professional training helps to pare this usage down, but filler words are, for the most part, pretty standard in regular vernacular. If nothing else, this goes to show that the staff, while many have years and years of experience, are not necessarily trained. This is, of course, not a bad thing. If anything, it is endearing, as this is a personality driven site.

From reading the original job posting for which she was hired and how the videos were for her first couple weeks I believe the position was mainly meant to be a technical assist for Vinny. Since Vinny is usually in the host position it can be difficult for him to do the fiddly bits if it's necessary, so they brought on someone to solidify the technical stuff and maybe be on camera every once in a while. Considering how small the GBE team is it's natural that she'd get SOME screen time, but the fact that she's gone blow for blow with the other guys really shows that doubling down on her as an on camera personality was definitely the right decision.

This is MY gaming keyboard.

It's sad to say, but I stopped after the season seven premiere. You know the one. The one with that THING THAT HAPPENED. I just didn't have the heart to keep up anymore. I understand no one is sacred in a zombie show, but it just felt like the pulled the rug out from underneath themselves.

@chaser324: Ah .... It took me a moment to realize what you were talking about and then I noticed the edit. Sounds good, friend. I didn't even think about whether it was in good taste to discuss certain activities.
