Designer low-rise briefs, preferably Aussibums. Boxer-briefs are so 10 years ago, especially CK ones - talk about lack of effort. Boxers? Seriously? Maybe if you're Jazzy Jeff or Kid 'N Play.
While I desperately hope for another timeline DNA sequence to freshen the series up, the story progression with Desmond in Brotherhood makes it seem very unlikely they'll throw a 3rd 'past' hero ancestor into the mix.
I think this looks pretty neat. One suggestion I would have made would be a 'picture in picture' version of this. Think original Starfox. If someone in your party said something that their avatar face would pop up in a corner!
I'll subscribe just so (according to Dave) I can get the Giant Bomb T-shirt with $10 shipping to the UK instead of $40 or whatever madness it was when they were selling the staff specific limited edition ones.
Having heard some of the details though I wish that there will be more segregation between paying users and non paying ones. The 2010 users of this site differ greatly from the original first wave who followed the team over from Gamespot / Arrow Pointing Down. Instead of reading intelligent comment on quick looks and reviews now all it seems to consist of is children attempting to gain quest exp (as it's essentially a free game for them to play in-between begging their parents for allowance) , forums turning into the trash you'd find at IGN and GT with non-sensical, attention seeking posts and finally more recently - ill-informed rants and attacks on the staff and interns.
Having a segregated section at least gives the users who want to pay to use the site for the purpose of reading and discussing video games leeway to say 'I don't want this shit on here, remove it' if the above starts to spill over onto the paid side of the fence.
You think they'd take off the 'Online Multiplayer 2' part from the game description on XBL marketplace considering ITS NOT FUCKING THERE. Waste of 1200 for me, couldn't give a shit about playing it single player completely defeats the point.
If you were really hyped about a particular game, surely these days it's not a gigantic stretch to just buy both a 360 and a PS3. At worst you could buy a pre-owned console for about the same price as 3 new retail discs.
For ME2 however, considering the 3rd game is supposed to finally resolve all these decisions you made over the past two games. I'd imagine the PS3 version's going to be somewhat short changed.
If anyone should be a permanent 5th chair then it should be Drew, considering he is actually a staffer for GB rather than WM and it'd be nice to see the whole team getting a say week to week. Saying that though I voted yes for Dave regardless because he does have a good mic presence, though him being an occasional guest works just fine for me too.
As for Brad's mannerisms I think you have to keep perspective that these guys are friends as well as just business colleagues and that's just how he plays himself up! I always presumed from the Gamespot days that Alex would have been a first choice over Brad (considering he was always in the background in Jeffs home videos) to be part of the inaugural GB team but as outsiders looking in I suppose it's hard to say what different peoples histories with each other really are.
Still with Alex and Matt in the WM office now all it needs is Rich and Brian (I think WM can live without Greg or Ricardo) and that's the golden age renaissance ;P
