It is probably still limited to only premium members. They released it first for only premium members to beta test it and I guess it still isn't public yet.
I think that Patrick was a great addition to the staff and that the stories he writes and his style of reporting jell perfectly with what Giant Bomb is and represents. I also find that he's a totally cool and funny guy, and I don't think that he "tries too hard to be funny."
I definitely agree though that he was maybe trying too hard to be funny and stuff in this Nolan North interview, but I would chalk that entirely up to nerves. I can totally envision myself saying those exact things if I were in his situation. They have this gaming celebrity come in fairly unexpectedly for a video that is supposed to last 30 minutes, but the only structured thing they have to present is this art book. It is not an easy task to accomplish that. Saying things like when Patrick called Nolan an asshole, I think that he was thinking of saying something similar and in a different tone, just the nerves and everything made him rush and feel a need to say something somewhat witty that may come out wrong.
That's my take on the whole situation, and I still think that Patrick is a kickass dude and I like when he's in segments.
I think one has to say Building The Bastion, just because of how cool and unique a feature it was to see on a site like this and also the fact that it turned out to be one of the best games of the year.
