I was just watching the recent TNT where they played WWE All Stars and listening to Jeff and Jared talk about pro wrestling was just absolutely depressing. It was just a lot of "I can't believe I used to/still do watch this. I must really hate myself" mixed in with "Look at how good the old days were compared to nowadays". It was just kind of annoying/disheartening to hear that this is what people actually think about pro wrestling.

Look, I get it. A lot of really stupid things happen in wrestling nowadays and it's kind of the cool thing to call wrestling fans stupid rednecks and to call wrestling itself stupid, but come on. Is it really the knee jerk reaction for a lot of people when they hear "Pro Wrestling" to look down on it and bad mouth it in every possible way?

... but at this point Patrick kind of dominates 90% of the content, written or otherwise.

I don't think it's necessarily 90%, but yeah, I have been noticing a lot of Patrick. Still, if you really dislike Patrick, you could also totally go back and watch the videos that didn't include him or just not go on Giant Bomb altogether. My point is, this is the internet. There are SO many other things you could do besides putting someone down on the internet because you disagree with what they say. There are probably well over 100s of millions, if not billions and trillions, of Youtube videos to watch. You could go jerk off to some porn. You could go play a game. You could do a lot of stuff besides reading something you don't like.

Am I essentially doing the same thing by reading these comments and replying to them? In a sense, yeah, I guess I'm just as bad, but I feel that I shouldn't have to go through pages and pages of comments in order to find 5-10 comments that are actually talking about the article and not just Patrick hate.

I honestly found this article to be quite interesting. If you didn't want to see an opinion, I have a very simple solution:

Go do read/watch something else on this site. If you don't like what Patrick writes, there are also things that Jeff or Alex or Ryan or any of the other guys at Giant Bomb have written. They all have, for the most part, different styles. Pick the ones you like and ignore the others, simple as that. There are also several videos on this site you can watch that you could watch and, instead, you are reading something you don't like and then complaining that the thing you read annoys you.

Yes, this post is a bit hypocritical since I'm complaining about something that I don't like and, here's my rebuttal: Now you understand how annoying/stupid you sound when you do it.

This is very exciting to see. I was convinced people were going to say to hold off on getting it for the 360, but I think I'm definitely going to get it now. Thanks guys!

Let me start off by saying, yes, I understand that console gaming isn't the most popular thing in the world right now, but my laptop can barely run games that came out in 2002 and I really can't afford a new PC at the moment. I also really don't have the space to get a PC that's good for gaming so, my 360 is all I have at the moment (which I'm not complaining about at all, by the way). I really didn't pay attention to this game at all until Giant Bomb's coverage of it in these past couple GOTY videos/bombcasts. It looks like a very interesting game, but is it any good on the 360? I'm not usually into this style of game and I'm sure playing with a controller isn't going to make it any better, but something about this game really interests me.

@SomeJerk: Thank you for the input!

@StarvingGamer: alright, thank you very much!

EDIT: And be mindful of those req's. When I first started using the Game Capture on my shitty old PC last year, I had a lot of issues with the video and audio falling out of sync with each other and speeding up / slowing down if I tried to capture footage for more than 15 minutes.

Thanks for that warning! Here are the specs for what I have: http://support.acer.com/acerpanam/notebook/2009/acer/aspire/Aspire5732Z/Aspire5732Zsp2.shtml

Should I upgrade or will I probably be okay? I looked at it myself and I think I'm ok, but I just want to make sure it's all good.

I've wanted to start doing video game commentaries for a while just kind of as a thing to do for fun. I've had my eye on this for a while, but I've been afraid to get it do to the fact that I'm not sure how reliable it is. People usually give good answers here and are very helpful so I thought I'd ask you guys.

1. Do you need a high end computer to run this or will this work on pretty much anything? I'm not sure about the specs on my laptop, but it's not the highest quality laptop.

2. Is the standard one good to use if I'm planning on just recording game play and then possibly recording commentary later on or should I just spend the extra cash on the HD Pro?

3. Are there any other devices or methods or capturing game play that would be good for a beginner or is this probably going to be my best bet? I don't want to invest too much money into this, but I'm willing to spend up to $200.

Thanks to any answers! I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask this.
