Nothing worthy of an age gate. Probably a mistake or bug. Really disappointing if it is on purpose.

Thanks for answering my burning questions on the status of Dr. Dre! I just want a big box set with all these collaborations that he's supposedly tossing out left and right. Plus, The Planets? Who wouldn't want to hear that?

You should check out the way that The Totally Rad Show does it's product placement. They frequently make it pretty hilarious while still staying on message. A lot of the time, the YouTube comments are positive ones about the ad, more than even the show. It's handled very smartly.

People complaining about the age gate are very silly people. It's really not that big a deal.

I'm always happy to see that Brewers hat in the top-left corner of these videos, knowing I have the same hat.

I think some pro equipment is built on demand, which is why it takes so long. For a small company, it conserves capital to not have to have unsold equipment with thousands of dollars of externally sourced parts sitting around.

Bummed they turned down the E3 stage/booth, the after hours thing makes sense though I guess.

It's probably because I don't use the "cool" software, but what the hell is that sonar pinging sound in the background?

kinda feel for Vinny. Video production setups seem like a pretty complex thing. having to rebuild all that again from the ground up must feel kind of rough after getting it so right at the old office.

cool show. thanks for the dre update.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind mentioning sponsors during a broadcast. When I watched Starcraft a bunch, it was always like "hey, thanks to Pepsi. It's really good and you should buy it. Because of them we can do this thing!" Sure as hell beats those ads that expand to take over the whole page, argh.

@Thomper: Thanks for linking that, it was hilarious to watch again. When I first saw that on TV a few weeks back, I was losing my shit the entire time. I feel like I should be surprised that people are paid to think about insane things like brand management in such weirdly specific terms...but I'm not. That's business!

I volunteer to give that duder's girl a baby, just to save his relationship. I'm a good guy like that.

Edit:Ha. I just realized I had it backwards. It's the duder that wants the baby. Whelp, can't go back on it now, I guess I'm screwed. :)

Steam achievements? Who cares about those? Or achievements in general, for that matter. Is anybody looking at your achievement score and telling you how cool you are for it?

I Need A Doctor was awesome. Real heavy and an excellent hook. I'm not a fan of what Eminem has done musically in the past few years, but he kills it on that song.

What the fuck? When did relationship counseling over public internet become relevant to video games sites? This Jar Questions and Answers action is super awkward. I've seen this shit happen on the off topic forum as well. Weird shit is weird!

Speaking of Premium Content, there was something on the "Coming Up On Giantbomb" ticker on the front page for today...some kind of live discussion, I think with two of the site devs or something. Anyone know what I'm talking about? It's gone now, whatever it was...

That's the premium members radio show they do each month. It's archived here in audio form and also archived as a video later on.

It's weird how a singer/songwriter such as Skylar Grey has had the most success just singing rap hooks. Also, Jeff loves pale brunettes.

Being more financially successful than any other rapper alive with his successful investments that made him half a billion dollars or something.

Thank you. I was guessing it was one of those, but checked and didn't see anything there yet (current one is from March). Great to know, and I'll keep checking back. ;)

Yeah, I thought the same thing when he started reading the question. I mean Jeff's a cool dude and all, but why the hell would you send a question like that to the editor of Giant Bomb? 0_o

On pre-roll ads on videos: Fine. But I don't wanna see that shit before a 30 second teaser trailer. Or, hell, ANY TRAILER! That's like watching an ad to watch an ad.
