"It has to be Dragon Age 2.  All of their twitter updates mentioned having to buy the game on day 1 "

No chance it's DA2. Jeff specifically mentions that "the developers brought preview builds of the game every few weeks for a few months to GB." Sadly, I fear that the only game that fits is Bastion.  If so, it's really sad because I don't care how good the game is, they won't see a dime of my money. At the end of the day, the ONLY thing that matters is sales. Yet, they used GB for months of free advertisements and then screw 'em over because of metacritic?  Sad part is, as nice as the people seemed, their true character was shown in how they treated GB and now I hope the game bombs and they do all get fired. F' em.  God, I hope I'm wrong. "
You are wrong.  And kind of nuts.

Jeff, Vinny, and Brad seem so comfortable and confident while Alex has mannerisms and facial twitches like a complete psycho. Ryan, cool and somewhat of a front-man for the group, seems uncomfortable - i think that he would be stud-hawt if he lost weight and did P90X so hey Ryan if you read this man, go for it dude! You guys rock, loved the show, loyal fan since forever!
 
Also - no questions about Endurance Run?

" @mythrol: I'm pretty sure GB said from when they started Building the Bastion that they wouldn't review it because of how close they were with the people making it. 
 
Yup right here. 
   


 I should also state here, up front, before we get going, that due to the way we've decided to create ongoing programming based on Bastion and its developers--one of whom was a close coworker of ours for a lot of years--we're opting to not review Bastion when it's released. I suspect that, by the time it's finished, we'll all be a little too close to it to render an untainted verdict, so it's best to just state that now, so everyone's clear. Cool?    
"
While it's admirable that they don't want readers to think the review will be tainted, I am also disappointed because it means that the consensus is that videogame reviewers cannot separate the two. It seems like game reviewers are always getting involved with the publisher through special events and previews, so if I cannot trust the guys at Giantbomb to be impartial when reviewing a game in this situation, I don't think anyone should be trusted. Of course, this is a REALLY special case considering they used to work with the guy, but I feel like this is also save face in case they don't like the game.
 
I don't remember how they covered Harmonix games when Alex was working there. Can't recall anything noteworthy about the situation.

Awesome Q&A. Disappointing reviews so far about the 3DS, was looking to possibly pick one of those up but might wait now until the new PlayStation later in the year.

The question that prompts Dave to take his shirt off (which is in the thumbnail) is at 9:00.
