@chaser324: Thanks, duder.

The way I see it, it's now 2-1 to Patrick. Congratulations to Dan for getting on the scoreboard at last.

Dan made it clear his goal all along was to just make Patrick fail/quit. Whether it took him 1 level or 300 levels, so the whole 2-1 thing doesn't really fly. Patrick put up a valiant effort, but ultimately Dan got what he wanted.

That's a pretty weak standard by Dan then. It's like a little kid screaming "no no, let's pway again let's pway again I wanna twy again" every time he loses, until finally the parent relents. And why was there any arbitrary time limit on this one again? As far as I can tell, Patrick was pretty close to beating it.

Can anyone share exactly how close Patrick got to beating the level last night? I can't commit to watching the whole thing. I saw one tweet from Dan saying Patrick "made the jump." I'm not even sure what that means.

If someone had a timestamp on one of Patrick's archives, that's be ideal, but a summary would be just as welcome.

I wasn't interested in this, though I did like Dishonored, but the rad deal of being able to buy this for $20 because I bought the first version really tickles my loyalty bone. I dunno, I just like being treated well. I did want to replay it, and this gives me a good reas... excuse.

Hey all, hoping someone can give me some information. Last night two friends and I wanted to do some POE, but one of us needed a key, so we went to farm. We went to both the Moon and then Venus and split up into three areas so we could alert each other when the Wolves event was happening, to maximize our potential.

Two hours spent, and not a one of us got a single key.

I thought Bungie recently patched it so while you could no longer get an Ether chest multiple time, the keys would drop more frequently? Is there some requirement a player needs to meet now before they can farm keys? I would think not, since we could farm for that first week before the DLC even came out, but maybe that changed in a patch and I'm unaware? All three of us have three characters, and all had done at least one bounty for Petra on all three characters, so that wasn't an option.

TLDR: Were we just incredibly unlucky, or were we wasting our time trying to farm a key out of Ether chests?

With the game coming to PC, I wonder if there's any chance it could ever come to the new consoles? I've always wanted a trophy patch for the PS3, so a PS4 version would be even better!

Yes, there was a time where I could proudly say I watched every Quick Look (or thing like it). But those days seem to be gone forever, and I really miss the occasional QL that would reveal to me a game that looked awesome that I never would have looked at if not for this site. Even more so, I miss going into a QL not expecting much, but laughing my butt off.

So, any recommendations, from say the last few months? Or even from 2014? And yes, I've seen the Velvet Sundown Quick Look, and The Fall... basically if they've talked about it on the Bombcast I've watched it. Or if it's a recognizable name, even a name like One Piece, I've probably checked it out.

Just seems like there's a lot of stuff on the site recently that doesn't ring any bells, and I don't know where to start. There's no way I can watch them all, so any help would be appreciated. Unfinisheds, Bombasticas, anything in the QL format counts, just as long as it's a cool game, or a really funny "episode." Thanks in advance, duders!

Hopefully this isn't considered uncouth, but I haven't had any luck searching online, so I was hoping you duders could help me out?

I finally unpacked my headset yesterday, charged it and plugged it in and it worked awesome. Instantly paired, I could switch between audio just for chat or the whole game, good quality, great.

Then played today, worked great again right off the bat, and then at some point I couldn't hear chat nor could they hear me. Checked the mic volume thing in the PS4 settings, and it seems like that's working, could still listen to game audio, but no chat, and no one hearing my mic.

Anyone know how to fix this? Anyone else had similar issues? If it's any help, the only thing I can think of that coincided with the problem was joining a party in the OS for a brief second. I've tried turning the system off, unplugging and charging the headset, still no dice. Thanks all.

Has there been any information about the details of the hiring process? Specifically, I'd like to know who made the decision for each position, if it was discussed amongst the staff, and if so who. If there were interviews and how many. Simply curious.

Anyway, just to share my opinion, I think the comments and negativity about Dan and Jason being the wrong persons for their new jobs because of their race, gender, and/or sexual preference to be repugnant, and the very essence of bigotry. I think people should really take a step back and think about what it is they're actually saying.

On a lighter note, I think the hiring of a pair of people who already have a working relationship and some chemistry is a downright brilliant move. It allows for each person to more quickly and easily grow comfortable in their new positions. Meanwhile, Dan is a perfect pick for the editor slot, as with Vinny's move to New York, and of course Ryan's passing, Giant Bomb really could use an infusion of frivolity to help fill that incredible void. The only person I can think of who might've been as good a pick as Ryckert is Jeff Green.

Really excited to see what happens next, both in SF and in New York!

@mcintyre:

Oh man, that's exactly why I came here, to beg you, Giant Bomb forums. Is there anyone who is going to archive today's stream for those of us who won't be able to catch it live? I humbly beg someone to take up this task, as E3 week can't start until I pretend I listened to Jeff and company drive to E3 as it happened.

I'm sure it will be archived on Jeff's mixlr eventually, but I'd really rather listen to it before the events themselves because, well, I'm neurotic like that.
