Quick Look: Star Fox 64 3D

@Styl3s: Well said dude.

This litany of empty hatred towards an intern who does great work and gives it his all is simply embarrassing in a community so closely linked with the people who run it.

@Duckbutter: Unfortunately your argument has absolutely no weight against what the other two said.

If Giant Bomb did make a video of that, then yes, criticize all you want.

But as it stands, people have been saying "I can't stand Kessler" or some form of it, and have yet to give a valid point of reason describing why. And some of the animosity goes towards Patrick as well....

@Duckbutter: I'm not saying that the Giantbomb staff can do no wrong. But they generally act like adults.

The number of comments on this video that are one sentence long and chime in just to say "Turned it off within 5 seconds cuz I don't like Kessler/Klepek, dur hur hur" just come off as childish. At that point, it's not even informed criticism. What if this is the Quick Look where Kessler turns it all around, and suddenly stops doing whatever you don't like about him?

To give my opinion on the matter, Kessler is like the Dan Hibiki of the crew. He's not as cool as everybody else and is sort of a joke, but he's hilarious for how earnest he is at being entertaining.

fuck the new voices. Ill just boot it up on my n64. I DON'T SEE THE POINT.

ok i get it.

whenever you disagree with a product, you say "this sucks", then you type up an informative letter that articulates your well thought out criticism and you send it to the manufacturer.

i'm sure you just got through sending Jiff your peanut butter pros and cons list.

that's nice for you, but some other people will just say "this movie fuckin sucks" and just walk out of the theater. they dont deserve to be called "whiny assholes" because they didn't type up an explanation and email it to the director and writer.

you want a reason? Kessler needs to pull a Larry David and curb his enthusiasm. that hyper-emphasizing of every other word is irritating. it's like he's talking in caps lock. lose the infomercial voice and just talk like your regular self, dude.

This. I would fucking kill to be in Kessler's position. He must be doing something right.

Great quick look, I got this but only had to pay £10 for it because I had £25 credit on a gift card, I feel I paid the right price for this despite my love for Star Fox 64 like you said it can be beat in 30 mins no matter how bad at the game you are

Seriously, fuck you Slippy. I am tired of having to save you all of the time. Just die, you whiny frog. And wow, this game looks so much better than the N64 game. And it allows you to watch Patrick try to eat the crown over his head.

ROLL A BARREL!

@Duckbutter: First off, no, I never send letters to any big companies telling them I give a rats ass about their product. I'm aware that they don't give a fuck, so I can't be bothered to try to change that.

If you were trying to make a slight jab at the way I wrote that out, I'm sorry for trying to be articulate on the internet. I know it ain't as common as it should be, but hell, that's just how I am.

I also can't fucking stand Jif.

And whether those people deserve to be called whiny assholes is besides the point. You can rant and complain all you want, but if someone were to ask you "Alright, Kessler sucks ass and doesn't belong here/doing these videos, now can you tell me why?" It wouldn't sit well with your position if you just said "Because I said so/Because I think so and it's MY OPINION"

That's wonderful. Power to you for having free will. But considering what kind of community this is, you have a far more powerful voice than if you were ranting on the IGN boards for example. The staff here actually pay attention to us, that's what makes us great. You probably have no idea who or what Kessler is actually like off camera, so you may just be complaining that he is who he is.

Cheers for putting up some sort of explanation at least. I don't agree with it, but at least you set up exactly where your position stands and WHY it is so. That way you can actually have a conversation with someone instead of just reading empty text.

And yes this is a long post, I know. Apologies.

Kessler is getting better at this.

kessler's the man. i think he's fucking hilarious.

did you write this same speech the last time someone said "Kessler is awesome" even though they provided no further explanation? do you call the Giantbomb community "embarrassing" when they don't explain their positive opinions on Matty Kess?

no?

then that's like calling a girl in your prostitute district "cool" because she's giving you an inexplicable blow job, but calling another girl at a bus stop "a stuck up cunt" because she inexplicably refuses to blow you.

you say your beef is with: "the unexplained criticism of Kessler"

but if you take the "unexplained" out of that phrase, i think you'll understand why you're truly annoyed.

i don't wanna get into a long debate on this. i just think you're being a lil too hard on the Giantbomb community. and i don't agree with your constant soliciting for blow jobs at bus stops either. that's just sick. lets just agree to disagree.

Kessler is the Slippy of GiantBomb

Kessler is the Slippy of GiantBomb

@Duckbutter: No, I didn't, but neither did you, and in that situation it would have been someone with your views to have rebuffed the people with the opposing view point. You never asked "why do you think he's a good addition to the team" or "why is he awesome?"

Analogy was crude and very loosely held your point, but it made me laugh, so cheers to that.

And I've already said, I don't care about justified criticism. You can accuse Kessler of being a heroin addict and I wouldn't give a shit if you could justify it. But regardless, your position on this and your mentality are clear.

Agree to disagree it is.

People get so bent out of shape over who's in 'their' Quick Looks. So guess what? Get bent.

kessler is funny

I loved the ending. Patrick is so downtrodden.

The music, sounds, everything, I am literally dying of nostalgia. *Tear*

I had trouble hearing Kessler at times, I assume the mic might have been too far from his mouth.

I thought the point of virtual console was that we could just pay for the old games and remakes would have to be considerable?

this just makes me want to play StarHawk even more.......

the 3d effect works so well in this game, its definitely improved from pilotwings. it is sometimes hard to know when you are playing in 3d because you dont notice the small eyestrain problems that pilotwings gave me. the depth is all there and when you turn off the 3d you definitely notice.

This game is amazing, and has the best 3d out of any 3ds game I've played so far! :D

This really brings me back.

Why Fox hits Falco: "Hey genius, I'm on your side!" Didn't that use to be: "Hey Einstein, I'm on your side!" Also, how in the hell did they know about Einstein?! Creepy...

Please stop letting Patrick cover nintendo news stories or do quick looks with nintendo games. He's great, and I like his other stuff, but he's clearly got some kind of dislike toward nintendo and as such EVERYTHING HE DOES INVOLVING NINTENDO IS PORTRAYED NEGATIVELY.

It's biased and you ought to let someone else do it. Giant bomb is starting to look anti-nintendo as a result.

To be fair, Klepek is the only GB staffer who likes Majora's Mask.

Aww no, not Kessler again, I hate that guy.... HATE HIM!!!!

Yeah, what? If anything Klepek is the biggest Nintendo fanboy in the office. I am not getting this perceived 'dislike' at all.

Just keep on barrel-rollin'
