@todharper: My guy, the subject of an interview in a documentary is part of the documentary. Documentaries are about pushing a real story from a specific angle. Everything you put to tape is part of that agenda. They specifically edit around the parts of the Giant Bomb video in which they talk about the weapons being, essentially, toys. That is also part of the agenda.

It's all part of their report, it's all part of their narrative.

@frostyryan: Honestly, this whole thing makes me think more than anything else you have no idea what coke actually does to a person. He was acting more like a rambling slightly drunk dude than anything else.

And the VGAs are still cringey as fuck. Just now it's with their garbage ad placements, shilling, and still trying to claim it's about awards when that is not the case.

And Geoff doesn't pay out of pocket, he isn't a moron, he gets sponsors, hence the cringe.

Saying it as a single word is completely insane. "Sness" or "Super Ness" or "Snezz" or "Super Nezzz" is the wrongest wrong thing that ever wronged.

I'm assuming you pronounce all acronyms then? G-I-Fs? J-P-Gs? A-W-O-L? What about the S-W-A-T team?

I don't understand this mindset unless you completely hate the existence of acronyms and only use initialisms.

Still happening for me. Tried rolling back Firefox to an old version and it didn't change anything.

@rorie: It's been happening to me for about a month now and I only just now thought to see if other were having this problem.

Firefox 55.0.3 (32-bit)

Win10 Pro, Ver. 1703, OS Build 15063.608 // Fully updated

I have the issue with all of my add-ons enabled, and I have it with all of them disabled. I've made no changes to my tracking protection as @dixavd suggested. And clearing all cookies hasn't done anything. I'm kind of out of ideas.

@kevin_cogneto: Not what I am talking. I am talking about the actual dialogue trees. Characters had *nothing* to say unless it was a specific story advancement, and then you wouldn't have a dialogue tree at all. You would either be presented with a "Press X to talk" conversation, or the dialogue "tree" you were given had zero forks, only allowing you to talk about the one exact thing predetermined for you to talk about. It led to boring conversations with no life, expanded upon by the actual quality of writing being massively inferior to the previous two games outside of a couple of good moments.

And man, that storytelling was bad. The fucking garbage star kid and the plot holes you could fly the Normandy through. Ugh. The more I think about ME3 the more I remember why it was 6/10 game at best.

I've been playing through the Mass Effect seriesfor the first time this year. I just beat ME2 + Shadow Broker + Overlord. I leveled up to 30 and I'm about to transfer my save to ME3.

I loved ME1 + 2, but I know that a lot of people really hate ME3 .... Soooo .... without spoiling anything, before starting, is there anything I should expect out of ME3 that will prevent me from hating it?

Mediocrity.

Seriously. The story isn't the only thing that's suspect in that game. There are a ton of little gameplay elements that went out the door half (perhaps even 1/4) baked. It isn't just the weakest of the trilogy narratively, it's also arguably the worst from a gameplay perspective too.

Yep. The reduction in scope (even from 2) of the universe, the simplification of the conversations...basically down to nothing, the terrible N7 missions, the poor justification of character involvement (this will make sense after you play the game), etc.

Like, it not being as good as ME2 isn't a crime, because ME2 is a really fucking good game, but it takes some major steps back, probably due to the drastically reduced dev schedule it had. Keep expectations low, and you will still be somewhat happy with how it goes.

Have y'all dudes ever been to Giant Bomb before? The only thing they have ever been consistent about over the years is how inconsistent they are in putting out videos.

Demo Derby: Three episodes this year.

Old Games Show: Basically cancelled, transformed into Jeff randomly streaming old games.

Ranking of Fighters: One episode in the year.

This is the Run: Last run completed over three months ago.

Game Tapes: One episode in 2017, two in the last year.

It doesn't help the optics of the KH community for this to be the time everyone starts getting melodramatic about how GB is just being mean and working their audience for some unknown reason.

@paulmako: Why shouldn't they have to 100% it? I think if you are going to make an argument that they have to finish the game, then they should do everything in it. Anything less is them being lazy motherfuckers who just want to coast. 100%, 100% of the time. No exceptions.
