I don't want to believe it, but it looks just like him...

A Mass Effect game set outside of the Shepard story could be really cool. Unfortunately it seems like Bioware isn't the same company it was when they made their most beloved and respected games.

I'd rather have a remake of Grim Fandango. I'm happy with Double Fine working on original ideas, like the Kickstarter adventure game.

Thanks for posting that article, my days is going to be much better because I got to see it.

This is one of my favourite parts of Youtube, all the weird people you can find. I remember seeing a video awhile ago where this woman bought four copies of final fantasy XIII. She had two of the standard editions for 360 and PS3 along with the special editions for both systems. Then, in the end of the video she said she wouldn't have time to play them for a few months, it was crazy.

I watch Die Hard on Christmas Eve.

I really hope you're trolling and if you are it's quiet well put together.

They're two completely unrelated kickstarters. The second one seems to appeal to the sort of people who probably watch vlogs on youtube, it's completely unrelated to standards in sexism.

I don't see the necessity of it, like with 3D. It doesn't add anything to the movie and I'm fine with how they look now, but obviously I'll have to wait to see the actual finished product.

For the most part, I've only ever seen mods close those threads when it leans towards the latter. The former usually gets to stew longer since some actual discussion can go on. As someone whose only qualms with Patrick are primarily his choice in games and some of his overtalking, good discussion is warranted but not this 14-year old angst bullshit.

Have you seen the original thread that was blocked? There was nothing out of line. However, these guys have clearly taken this too far, which is disappointing because it's going to destroy anything legitimate that was being said.

Threads criticizing Patrick have existed since his first week on Giant Bomb. They've been hateful, insightful, critical, rude, polite, and everything in between. At this point I don't think it's about shutting down dissenting opinions as much as it's "Jesus Christ can we get the fuck over this already?"

I agree that they are pointless for the most part, I just think we should be able to talk about it if we want.@SethPhotopoulos said:

The reason the original thread was locked was because it amounted to nothing more than spam. The OP was a link to another thread dedicated to hating Patrick. There was a good reason that thread was locked.

You're right but the reason that was given was we aren't allowed to talk about the staff negatively, which I think is stupid.

It's just unfortunate that we can't talk about our problems with the staff without the two extremes of people standing up for them and listening to no criticism and people who just rant.
