Yeah... I have always been kind of annoyed by Patrick on-screen, but he's especially bad in this video, trying to be funny all of the time and just babbling all over this interview. I'm not sure why they thought it necessary to put him on the couch.

The man with the least annoying voice sitting next to the man with most annoying voice. :P

This is completely awesome, seeing Nolan North kickin' it on the couch.

..If he's on the bombcast I will cry tears of joy.

I thought that Nolan's dome was going to explode if Patrick stared at him any longer.

Sigh..

Patrick made this unnecessarily awkward and annoying. The handshake was pretty bad as well, "Your hands are pretty cold..."

EDIT: Ryan was fine.

To piss you off. Isn't that obvious?

And of course the most obvious thing - he works there, they like him and he's one of the guys they want to be something more than just a man in the background.

Should have made it more surreal and had Nolan North interview himself. Giant Bomb has that power.

Are you under the opinion that GB staff are mindless robots with no emotion, and are there to serve your interests and desires solely? Stop criticizing the GB staff, he is getting paid and has as much right to be there as you do to comment on this video. Patrick is part of the staff who delivers the content to you, if you don't like him, leave the site and don't come back. I am getting tired, as I am sure others are, of people who are criticizing various members on nearly EVERY video just because they are not perfect in every way.

Dammit, I'm a sucker for this kind of stuff.

Eleven minutes in the Collector's Edition is ordered and oh boy - no joke on international shipping prices sucking.

Mission accomplished GB and Mr. North, you have defeated.

@MythDarK: I'm not saying that Patrick should just sit in the back all the time, I think he's good on the bombcast and in some quick looks, but this interview seemed like a pretty big deal for GB, and I personally think Patrick brings this video down by trying to steal the show away from the person being interviewed.

I haven't watched it yet, but the screen cap makes Nolan North look extremely uncomfortable.

If there really are so many complaints, maybe people are complaining for a reason.

Does anyone else feel themselves getting swept away by this man's charm?

Good interview though, he seems like a cool guy.

@MythDarK: Agreed *Bro Fist*. Patrick doesn't need to be a journalist with a stoic demeanor. He's a human being, he works their, and at least he cares about giving the audience at GB an honest 'journalistic' opinion on the industry.

Edit: Even though I thought this interview could have been handled better, having Nolan North show up at GB was stellar. Yes, I did use the word stellar.

Fuck you Patrick, how dare you ask questions and add joviality.

Who do you think you are? Vinny? You will never be Vinny and no one will ever be Vinny.

I want Vinny in every video made, he says the word 'cunt'!

Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat. I really don't want to be a hater but I just can't force myself to like Patrick - he is the kind of yerk kid that I never liked back in school. I'm kind of bummed out he is all over the site now. I just don't get the same friendly vibe from Giantbomb as I used to. :(
