You can always count on Rorie to lay bare a bit of inside baseball on office operations, haha. I'm grateful this quick look was made! I'm interested in this game.
So this is Abby's new office space? I only listen to the Beastcast MP3s so I hadn't seen it yet. It looks seriously awesome. I hope she feels great there.
Man, really? I hadn't listened to the podcast in full yet, so maybe it is in there, but this is a major surprise and a major bummer. Dan, you've been a fantastic part of Giant Bomb all these years, and I wish you the very best of luck and enjoyment in your new job.
I am sure GB will find someone new that is also great, like they have always done in the past, but I will miss your endless enthusiasm. Some of the best ideas for video series (like Metal Gear Scanlon) seem to have come through your desire to just go all-out in everything you do while you have a lot of fun doing it, and I have been very grateful for your influence within the team. All the best!
I really, really love the Yakuza series, and I will be playing this soon enough as well, but I guess I'm kind of disappointed at just how much of a Yakuza derivative it is? I didn't quite expect Kimura Takuya to be fighting like Kiryû... It was ridiculous and cool when you had the Yakuza dudes doing it, but because Kimura is a really famous actor, there is a weird dissonance there for me. The blending of the over-the-top cartoony violence of Yakuza with a more grounded main character is somewhat puzzling to me.
