Everyone in the Titanic game animates like they're in a Peter Gabriel video.

The Titanic game is one of my favorites from when I was younger and I hope they play more of it.

The Battlefield 4 question encompasses it perfectly.

Same, and he puts in a ton of great work by the looks of it. Just the usual, portion of the userbase has to hate on someone. Was Patrick (now a whole different set of people hating on him) and now Rorie. No doubt the new hire will get flack as well. I wonder if it's just jealousy? People thinking they could do better.

I'm jumping on this bandwagon too! Rorie's awesome! Always kind of bums me out that Brad doesn't seem to like him much... maybe its just an act for the show.

Wow, Jeff sounded so fatherly and sincere when he offered Brad some of his Diet Coke. It was straight up heart-warming.

I find it hard to believe that people hate him, he's so adorable.

Being an affably awkward, whimsically likable guy is MAYBE the least popular profession on the Internet. Where everything is Serious Business.

That Titanic game was my childhood, man. Still worth playing.

It's not jealousy, it's that he always seems to talk over people without bringing much to the table when he does so, and the fact that he never seems to be interested in what's going on, so far as to completely forget what is happening in games of any pace or genre. He only ever brings any energy or conversation when he's 1. dominating in a game, or 2. messing up in a game, and it's usually to make excuses or complain. He's easily my least favorite person for UPFs, because he just doesn't fit the setting.

I'm sure he does good work behind the scenes, I'll never say that he doesn't. He just... doesn't feel like he belongs in these sorts of videos.
