SWERY in the Coffee

Someone should give SWERY a team of 200 talented people with a budget of 100 Million dollars and let him design his dream game.

Jeff pretty much voiced his displeasure with all of you Patrick haters, that brings me solace that members of the staff are getting tired of this shit and letting everyone know it.

Why Patrick? the only guy that didn't play Deadly Premonition in the Endurace Run does the interview..

Patrick didn't work here when the Endurance Run was going on.

Yes, you've just illustrated the point that Atwa was trying to make. I'm not bashing Patrick here (a statement that is now a requirement whenever saying anything involving Patrick) but a lot of people have fond memories of the crew playing through that game and it seems only appropriate that one of those guys would conduct the interview.

It's probably because they already interviewed him. Patrick probs has actual questions.

@Vigil80: Thanks for the transcribe! Kudos to you!

The interview was good. Both Ryan and Patrick did really well. I've done assessments with interpreters and it's really, really hard to not make it feel awkward. I imagine there was some editing here but that said it looked really well done, the questions were good, and so on. If you're going to bitch about Patrick or anyone else on staff bitch when there's a reason for it. There's nothing in this video that warrants complaining. Grew up dudes.

Holy fuck, everybody shut the fuck up about Patrick. He's a part of Giant Bomb now, get used to it.

Well, that was the best 3:15 of my life. It will never get better. I'm both elated and depressed.

fuckin amazing

@cloudnineboya: Earnest agreement. He may well be entirely likeable in this, but I've found him offensively phony in everything I've seen/heard.

uh... i delved into these comments trying to find Jeff's (page 10 btw), and i don't think i've never been more disgusted with a group of people. you're all pathetic.

you're like a person who tells a guy he's fat everyday, because (OF COURSE) he'll start losing weight out of shame. well no, that's not what happens. what happens is he gets depressed, his friends feel bad for him, and everyone walks away hating you.

The analogy would fit better if it were something along the lines of "you're like the person who tells a guy who tells a guy he's fat everyday, because (OF COURSE) he'll start losing etc., that he's an asshole".

This is the guy who talks proudly of trolling friends and strangers. There are valid reasons to dislike that. Tell me the rest of staff approves and I will tell you to cherish that hero worship.

This was a very interesting watch thankyou.

wow man. thanks for that. i love all things deadly premonition. just don't make me play it.

the internet

Pretty by-the-books interview; nothing special, but passable 'cause SWERY.

I like Patrick.

Bring the York!

@troticielo:

not sure if agreeing with me or trolling me if its the later then you misunderstood my meaning , the disclaimer would read like this.'patrick klepek is in this here video so be warned that there might be a lot of hateful comments in this thread' soo mabee it might be a good idea not to start reading the comment section,

sorry loveya giant bomb.

Great interview, as always. We finally have a release date for the Director's Cut, so pretty stoked about that.

The crew have made their fondness for Patrick clear, not sure there's anything else to say: he's here, get used to it. If you can't, take your pick of a million other gaming sites. After all, the only reason to really follow GB is because you thing Jeff and Vinny and everyone are cool. And they're all friends of Patrick.

Couldn't have said it better. If you have a problem with Patrick, frankly, get the fuck out.

Looking at the thumbnail real quick, I thought it was Norm...

...

Does that make me racist?

Bob Dole already did the whole third person thing, but the use of the pronoun makes it way more strange...

Japaneses games may not be my absolute favorite to play, but they are my absolute favorite to watch being played. With GB's endurance run of Deadly Premonition being one of those times.

Deadly Premonition Director's Cut: The best only reason to own a PS3 in 2013. I really hope in honor of this release Giant Bomb has a 2013's 2010 Game of the Year category.

Awesome interview! Great to see SWERY again, makes me miss the days of the Deadly Premonition endurance run. Still haven't played that game; I loved watching it be played for the story and the staff's awesomeness, however, I don't think the game's for me.

Giving attention to an obnoxious minority is a fantastic idea, guys. Keep it up.

People who couldn't understand the interpreter need better ears.

Not really buddy. The translator has a pretty strong accent and I can totally sympathise with anyone struggling to understand what he was saying. It's not ignorant, racist or stupid. It's just the way it is. I got the gist of what he was talking about though. Swery is such a great quirky guy!

not really, the speech is stiltered but extremely easy to understand?

You mean stilted, not "stiltered". His speech being stilted is alongside the reasons I couldn't understand him too well. As I said, I sympathise with anyone struggling with it.

My only real hurdle is that he refers to SWERY as "he" rather than speaking as him and saying "I," which I didn't realize at first. Once I realized that, the whole thing actually fell into place for me.

@Jeff: See what we need in the new Giantbomb site is a personal "hellban" button for each user. That way I can slowly weed out all the annoying little kids (and adults that act like kids) and even though they'll still be whining, I'll have a Giantbomb free from ignorance and hate. That's the Giantbomb I envision in the future.

I think I remember Dave or someone talking about the possibility of an ignore function and arguing that we should use our own innate power to ignore people we don't care for. Or something to that effect.

While I suppose that'd be ideal in a way, the ability to get exposed to less stupidity to begin with...that doesn't sound bad at all to me.

@Jeff

Why would you not want to interview Swery? That alone truly says that we "don't get you as people, man."

@GuardianKnux: Wow that would be fantastic.

Deadly Premonition Golden?  Sign me up.

Yes. Fullscreen aliasing fuglifies into oblivion. And...yup, streaming still doesn't stream but is actually progressive.

@Jeff said:

Congratulations to the people complaining about the only guy on staff who spoke up and said "yeah, sure, let's interview Swery while he's in town." You're all Grade A truth-tellers who totally get us as people, man.

@Benny said:

I'm not joking when I say this, if you truly 'hate' Patrick, and continue to seek the approval of others on an online message board, you have serious mental issues.

I'm so stoked for the next Swery game.

thats what neogaf is for. they moved from 4chan to their new home.

I'm on the fence about Patrick. On the one hand, he generally writes great news stories and brings something to GB that they didn't have before. On the other hand, he just doesn't mesh all that well with the rest of the crew. Which is a pretty tall order considering the other 4 guys have been close friends for a long time and are also 10 years older than Patrick. It would be tough to bring anyone into the Giant Bombcast and ask them to mesh perfectly with the amazing dynamic that Jeff, Ryan, Brad and Vinnie have had for years and years. I think that is the main reason for all the "Patrick hate". On his own he is a good guy, and a good writer, but when it comes to the Giant Bombcast, again it's a tall order for anyone to join that well oiled machine and fit in perfectly.

Man, I can hardly understand the translator.

@Tobiass said:

Ruined by Patrick

I know I'm not supposed to feed trolls, but I seriously do not understand what the complaint could be about him in this video. He asks totally respectable questions and listens while Swery answers. What on earth could he have done differently that wouldn't have "ruined" this video for you.

Please tell me it's not just, "I hate his stupid face and curly hair."

I think it's great GB did an interview with a non-english speaker, regardless of my preference for subtitles OR a translator in house, on camera. This entire on-camera interview is good to see anyway!

Great interview. More swery!

Patrick was totally fine in this, I can't possibly see why someone would complain about this interview. Both Ryan and Patrick were very respectful and both brought interesting points to the discussion. And as always, Swery was the bomb.

To people complaining about Patrick = You're awful.

I can't understand being upset that Patrick is in this video. I mean, it's not like called Swery an asshole like he did to poor Nolan North. He was totally fine in this.

You guys seriously need to fix your player so I don't have to keep going to Youtube to watch your videos. :\

Everyone, stop bitching about Patrick and grow the hell up.

AHHH NYAN CAT'S BACK!
