Hmmm I live in Brantford, so that was kinda weird that Alex mentioned it. There is a strip club here called "Gentlemen's Club" (inventive I know). No idea if there is a pepper there.... strange

as a person who played yakuza 3 fairly recently, an Endurace run of that game would be nothing less than legendary. its not especially long, and its full to the brim with the type of little moments that make endurance runs the most requested feature in the first place.

all im saying is that that game's time has not passed. its still probably the best idea for a new endurance run ive ever heard.

I finished it too a few days ago. It's a slow starter, but when the story gets going, it's pretty crazy.

Well, I think I'm doing my part in drowining the vocal minority in saying that I missed Alex a whole freaking lot, and I really hope he shows up more often in videos and podcasts.

@DougCL: i fully agree , Yakuza 3 or 4 would be great for a ER.

but i played them both so watching the game again would be kinda boring.

Then I looked at the comments.

What were you thinking? We would never let you down.

Anyway, great to have you back at giantbomb, but would you mind continuing your box office news? I know this website is about videogames but I'll miss these...

I was in the third row for this, and the moment when Rich asked who bought the Amalur DLC was PAINFUL. I feel bad, I really liked the game but it was WAY too long for me to consider DLC.

Why does Patrick always have to be so contrary to my interests?

His view on stealth games....I'll kindly chalk that up to him not having the patience to play a stealth game, but the way he imposes that stealth games are "horrible games" is hard to ignore.

The NY-Boston Acela really isn't worth using since it's only about 45 minutes faster, and like 200 bucks more.

@Brewmaster_Andy said:

@AdMordem: Because there's a big difference between criticism and bitching. A lot of these comments are people just complaining because they find Alex annoying. That's not criticism of content, that's criticism of a person. That's the stuff I hate about this community. It's no different than the people that start threads to complain about Patrick - nothing about it is constructive. Responding to the content of the panel or stuff that happened is one thing, and I don't disagree that some of the stuff was sub-par from their normal standard - however, when people boil it down to comments like "oh god, Alex's voice is so annoying" then that is being an asshole.

How about you take your own advice? Calling a part of the community assholes is also just bitching and nothing else.

This was pretty great, I also thought the Yakuza games would make an awesome endurance run so it was cool to hear Jeff say that it was considered at some point

The people in this community who are more interested in bitching about the staff and what they're doing wrong need to get bent. I haven't seen a single thing put up lately without half the comments bitching about how shitty they think GB is or how annoying they think Alex or Patrick are.
