Thank you to Vinny, Brad, and Alex for the many (many!) hours of videos and podcasts over the years. Hearing your friendly voices and seeing your smiling faces was a heartening constant every single week. You brought true dedication, unique viewpoints, good humor, and simple kindness to everything you did on the site.

There’s no way to say it, except that your familiar faces and voices will be sorely missed by all. But, much more important than that is that you be happy in your lives and careers. I sincerely hope you all find joy and peace in your next chapters.

Thank you again. :)

Thanks for the years of great content, Ben! As someone who struggles with anxiety, I know it’s easier said than done, but keep your head up and don’t let thoughtless or vicious people make you feel below them.

Always remember that this too shall pass.

Whatever you end up doing, I hope you find the peace and happiness you deserve.

I can’t speak to it’s quality versus other (cheaper) bikes. I simply like it because the video classes keep me engaged and make time move faster than peddling away to music or something...though admittedly not enough to make me use it for more than a very expense clothing tree recently.

Hi all!

I just thought I'd drop a quick PSA here because I just found out I've been carrying about 400GB of hidden, restricted Gears 4 files for a couple years now. Was wondering where all my space went...

Anyway, if ya'll ever had Gears 4 installed, it may be worth running WindDirStat to find out if you have any "Program Files/Windowsapp/Microsoft.SpartaUWP" files left on your HDD. Each folder is about 100GB and I had 3 of them. Without the program, they are invisible and inaccessible--neat trick!

If you do have them, the following link tells you how to remove them (the second suggestion in the answer is how I did it): Link

Hope this helps someone!

Interesting to see Fortnite with only 3%, given its popularity. I wonder if that's because GB Fortnite players now moved onto Apex or if the GB community was just never into Fortnite in the first place.

Honestly, the thing that's surprised me the most so far is that 25% of people haven't even played a BR!

Just to be clear, I never meant that the GB staff did anything wrong in their choices or that I demand a re-count. I get that fantasy RPGs aren't really their thing (especially with Dave and Drew gone) and that's fine. Really, the topic is just an excuse to talk about the Witcher 3's music and see if others think it's as damn good as I do!

Hi all!

I was just rewatching the GBE Witcher 3 Playdate and remembered something--the Witcher 3 has REALLY GOOD music! It's not just typical, swelling, high fantasy fluff. It goes back and forth between calming and powerful and it's got great instrumentation. Not to mention, the occasional vocals are eerie and awesome.

Alas, it wasn't even nominated during the 2015 GOTY awards for Best Music. Do you think this was an oversight or am I just part of a small contingent of fans? What do you think of the music?
