Let's Drink Water in a Coffee Mug 05/02/2013

Jars vs. mugs? Patrick's show is really good... But it's no Jeff Jar Time!

THIS! Perfect name.

He finally got nefarious right!

Thanks for answering my question @patrickklepek. Though I did have a follow up about race in Bioshock: Infinite, though it was spoilery. Keep these videos coming.

During the spoilercast (from my question) you spoke a lot about explaining mysteries and leaving them vague, or that questions are more important than answers.

Ohhh man. I want the Oculus.

@bacongames:

F*** wait for you to get it on your own

X gon deliver to ya

Knock knock, open up the door, it's real

Wit the non-stop, pop pop and stainless steel

Go hard gettin busy wit it

But I got such a good heart

I'll make a motherf***er wonder if he did it

Damn right and I'll do it again

Mug Shots with Patrick Klepek

Really enjoyed this. Keep on doing them, Patrick.

I thought it was adorable how Patrick's wife jetted past the camera. Great video!!

SMT in general is mechanically complex like EO, so like that one, grinding is easy mental mode/hard physical road to strategy's hard mental mode/easy phsyical mode. :P

No coffee after 6 pm? Lightweight!

On a serious note, I really enjoyed this. I always quite liked Jeff's jar time videos, as they're both insightful and personal in that you get an even better feel for where he's coming from.

Love these and the Jar videos.

Patrick kind of resembles Mark Wahlberg in the thumbnail.

Great feature this, Patrick gives great answers to the questions, and it has a very different vibe than Jeffs Jar Time videos, so they don't overlap at all. Keep it up! :)

From.

Sounds like it should be Scotch-O-Clock, Patrick. Thanks for the QandA.

People demanding/hinting at wanting to see Patrick's wife: you're weird. Maybe she has nothing to hide at all. Maybe she just doesn't want to be a part of the video because she's shy or nervous or just has no interest in being a part of it. And that's her prerogative. So leave her alone. If she wants to be featured, she'll be featured. If not, leave her alone. It's her life to live. She's not just some prop Patrick can use just because this site is personality-driven and we all need to know every detail of everyone's lives.

And yeeeeeee Slender with Oculus Rift. I can't even play it normally.

Thanks for asking the question, Patrick. You've been a massive, massive addition to the Giant Bomb staff. Looking forward to the next Spookin' with Scoops/water-in-a-mug feature.

@aquacadet No. I bought VLR twice(Eur and N.American version) so I actually can listen to the cockney terminator and not feel a disconnect between the text and the dub(it only came out in Europe with English text and Japanese dub)

Airplay this to a 47" TV for the true Wizard of Oz experience :-)

A re-filled bourbon bottle, just like the gross functional alcoholic bachelor we all know he is.

You're currently producing some of the best content on the site Scoops, keep it up!!!

Call it: "Coffee with Pat".

These "answering questions from home" videos are getting out of control. Pretty soon Luchadeer will have his own video. Admittedly I'm interested in his thoughts on hunting regulations.

You married a very lovely blur, Patrick!

Hope you at least buy the game and leave it wrapped.

pfffft, Patrick you cant be afraid of 6 pm coffee, you gotta embrace it! After dinner coffee is one of the great joys of life!

that dude got his question picked by both jeff and pattrick

I don't understand how these guys can subject themselves to the anonymous abuse they receive. Shielding their loved ones from it just seems like good sense.

Was literally playing Mario's Picross on my 3DS while I watched this. More Picross now please.

I was quite disoriented when a question asker mentioned that he was looking forward to Star Trek and that it was on his birthday. I did not parse that as being Question Asker sharing his opinion but being Patrick answering which I feel a bit silly about since I proceeded to tweet at Patrick in amazement which he replied to with confusion and the actual date. I hope he's amused by my misunderstanding and didn't miss the following reply where I figure out my mistake.

Anyway, yeah, I'm right there with you Anonymous who shares my birthday! Star Trek is going to be fun!

Have you ever asked Pixel what he/she really wants, though?

Not everyone wants to be a public figure on the Internet.

You've married the fastest woman on the planet.

Seriously though, don't feel like you need to hide her. This website is all about the personal connection to its editors. Your wife is a big part of your personality, I would imagine. I'd even be interested in seeing her speak on some of the topics you cover, or at least the two of you be more natural about it. What is her opinion on your career? I imagine she's supportive, but it'd be nice to see that from her. Probably weird of me to suggest this.

"Someone's putting out the garbage..." *Glare."
Lol, don't you just live with your lady, Patrick? Who was it, Pixel?

Cool. Thanks Patrick. Super happy with the response to my question. Didn't expect both IRC and Gaming Age to factor in.

Also, I'm an asshole, and mixed up Iceland for Finland, but here's the (unrelated) video I suggested he watch: Conan in Finland

Katie doesn't need to run by so fast, she can just nonchalantly stroll by ignoring the camera, maybe even give a dirty sideways look at this "vidyagames" thing happening in her house that you're doing. Unless she's in a position where her identity needs to be kept secret...

Katie is a secret agent, isn't she?

Actually, Will Smith ripped it off first. This is actually the CBS spin-off series of the original.

A dog bowl.

Whooooo, Patrick answered my shit question just like Jeff did on his last jar time. Quick, someone analyses the answers!

What should Rorie drink out of then? :D

Really enjoyed this, would watch more stuff like this.

So are the Jar Time videos. The staff Q&A videos are for paid subscribers.

@zmilla: ~12-13 min in?

I heard the wife shows up. timestamp?

"Mug Life"

I'm liking these individual home videos, answering questions. Would be good to see similar videos from Ryan, Brad and Vinny every now and again.

@goreyfantod said:

So, the video froze on this image while buffering & it was too good not to share.

Don't you mean Narco-Klepek?

I'll show myself out.

I had just finished Dead Space 3 last week and remembered Brad and Patrick did a Quick Look of the DLC, so I went back and watched that. I know they were playing it up for entertainment sake, but I never understood the argument, either. It didn't seem that absurd when I played it; it just seemed typical for video games or sci-fi.

Now if it was our moon, then sure. That would've been fucking dumb.

Nope.

I just want to say thank you Patrick. I was skeptical when you first joined the squad, but you really do seem to care about games and the people that play them. Great videos! Thank you once again.
