Is it at all strange I would've preferred it if the Mattani bashing group of attendees called the guy a fucker rather than a faggot? Is it weird that motherfucker seems way less offensive and way more apt for a guy who is a great big asshole than faggot? No, right?

I love the Baz! He's crazy! Also love Jefailey because he's nuts. Can't wait for next week because new character again next week! I wonder how much more craziness they can put in there. Is there a grappler? Is the Baz a Grappler? I have no idea!

I was really into it. I really liked how for most of the movie Tony was working without his usual resources but pulling off some good and proper heroism without the suit. I sort of felt it was a nice answer to "without the suit what are you?" Question Captain America posed in the Avengers. It felt like him showing that even without his suit or his facilities he's still Iron Man, which I really liked. Was a nice way to put him in a bad place, much better I feel than the way Iron Man 2 did it which was simply "You're dying from cancer. Quickly! Invent a magic triangle to solve that!" Translated to better action and more tension. Also really like how the final act wasn't dull like it was in the original Iron Man.

I don't mind for a second that he didn't have his full suits and shit with him all the time, way I figure having a dozen suits on you makes matters rather predictable anyway. He just had one with a really cool albeit unfinished feature that was also broken for a lot of the film. Then he called in a bunch of unfinished WIPs to wreck shit up in what was a fantastic finale. Then he destroyed them because him designing so many of them was him being driven crazy by the alien threat and, after the events of the movie, he feels confident without 40 suits because he knows he can do this thing without the suits if he really needs to.

The gun just needed an upgrade to make it so it could kill dudes with its burst fire volleys. Seriously, what is the point of a burst fire gun that fires 3 shots if 3 shots to the chest doesn't kill a dude? Plus the fact that it burns through ammo faster than any other gun. Poor decisions all around. Once the Sniper Rifle got the explosive ammo and became invaluable I ditched the pistol for it.

That infographic has at least one issue. Far Cry 3 has a bow but it is not reflected on the graphic. I bet it has more if you really cared.

Japanese games ruled over the land a decade or two ago hence why many have nostalgia for them. That said now Western games have made them far less relevant in the west. In 20 years kids will remember Halo or Lego Games far more than they'll remember Sonic or Final Fantasy.

Coincidentally I, as a 22 year old, think that European games are the most memorable of all. Banjo-Tooie is a fucking classic man.

Jeff put his foot through a wall once. If Jeff can do it I think Joe Unbeatable Protagonist can do it as well.

It'd be really bad for Nintendo. Even less people would buy their next thing in case it was abandoned too. They can't afford it.

What might happen is a price cut Ambassador deal.

I think... So long as Giant Bomb is still Giant Bomb and by lines still matter then I'll continue being here. I'm sure people will leave eventually. Maybe in 2 years, maybe in 25. However so long as new blood is added to the site as carefully and perfectly as Patrick was a few years back then there will always be something for me here.

I sort of imagine a future Giant Bomb that's like... the plot of Injustice. Where Brad Shoemaker and Vinny are gone but Brad Muir and Dave Lang are in for some reason. Also Patrick has a sick ass beard and Ryan and Alex Skype in from Space. Also Ed Boon guests on the podcast often in the future for no reason and John Drake now runs Gamebomb with an iron fist!

That last paragraph is something that could happen maybe. It would be a lot different from what we have now but if it happened slowly enough you'd barely even notice everything was changing. Remember years ago when Tested and Screened were in the same office and they did a crossover show every Friday? Remember the days when Alex was local and did Quick Looks? Remember the days before Patrick Klepek was a core member of the crew? Things are pretty different now. Things will always become different. Doesn't mean they'll become bad.
