You're guys are telling me that Johnny V is not winning? I don't even know where I am anymore.

You and me both..... Will Smith is great don't get me wrong and I would vote for him in 98% of circumstances, but Johnny V is an integral part of this website's lore.

I have lost faith in you guys (I hear there was some twitter bombing which also disgusts me)

FOR SHAME!!!!!!

If by twitter bombing you mean mentioning it in one tweet, then yes, there was.

Johnny V would have won. This vote was significantly skewed by the twitter post, and isn't really representative of the Giantbomb community anymore. I think it would appropriate and funny to disqualify Will.

Last time I checked it seems slightly over half the normal expected number of votes were in with Johnny V in the lead by >5%. If you assume the voting one way or the other does is independent of then you can do some relevant statistical analysis. Let the null hypothesis be that Will would have been the winner under normal circumstances. Then it might be unlikely that at the halfway point that Johnny V would be winning by 5-10% at the halfway point of say 800 votes. I estimate that not only is it unlikely but incredible unlikely. Thus strong evidence against the null hypothesis. Thus will only won because he skewed the results.

I don't know about disqualification, but we should take into consideration that not every GB user frequents the forums. I didn't even bother start reading them regularly until last year, so a lot of users might not even be aware that this is going on. Also, Jeff Green looked like a lock for the majority of his matchup with Kasavin, but look who has a significant lead now. His 5-10% lead is now a 5-10% deficit, and this shift occurred after the halfway mark of the voting time.

I need someone to perform a blood transfusion, Mikemcn21 is the name on steam.

Not sure if you still need it at this point, but this thread may be of interest: http://www.dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=4581

Dr. Wasteland MD and some others (he made a list of folks doing similar things that he deems to be legit) basically act as travelling doctors. There's info on how it all works in the thread.

Thoroughly enjoyed your post, man. This is why this mod is so crazy, it's not just proud bandits who kill other players, it's other survivors who experience a moment of panic when encountering people in unfamiliar territory. This is why I hide in the woods all day, everyday.

I'd be down for grouping up with GB folks. Just don't shoot me. I've avoided played contact for the mos part until now and the result has been my continued survival.

Muir and Gallup! Muir because he is Brad Muir and makes every piece of GB content he is featured in so much more jolly, and Rich Gallup because I was more attached to him as a fan than I was Jeff, Ryan or Alex in the Gamespot days. I was absolutely gutted when he left Gamespot, and I'm not ashamed to admit that his last episode of On The Spot made me cry.

It figures the day after I get it, it goes on sale for half price. I'll just tell myself that because I'm from Canada, I wouldn't have been able to take advantage of this particular sale anyway . . .

I sling fish all day, everyday. That is to say, I work part-time in the seafood department of a grocery store. Minimum wage is where it's at, man. Well, at least until I finish my degree, as I've been lead to believe that getting my piece of paper increases my chances of getting a job that pays more than minimum wage.

I really wanted to see this :(, but I guess this is the type of stuff you're supposed to rope people in with. One of these days I'll probably hand over 5 bucks and download everything. There isn't a limit to how many videos you can download at a time is there?

Not that I know of, but I've only downloaded a handful of videos so take that with a grain of salt.

It makes sense to me why this is premium content, as most of the premium content seems to either be behind the scenes tech related stuff, silly stuff with Dave/Drew/Vinny, or stuff on a more personal level with the staff like Jar Time. This is personal silly stuff with Drew that has nothing to do with video games, so it's a perfect fit for premium content.
