Right?? I'll happily pay $5 for some amazingly written dialog centering around just about any craplousy (but still playable) game.

One of the most exciting things about having Rorie back is having a person who can actually talk about WoW.

Also, really don't understand the hate for Poker Night. Seems like a perfectly competent poker game with some fun dialogue. I had some sort of weird thing with the first Poker Night where I ended up playing it way more than anyone probably should so maybe I'm biased.

WoW used to be one of those games where I'd come back every expansion for a couple of months, level up a dude, maybe do some raids and then Arena and get bored and quit. That or it was the "filler" game in between MMOs.

Haven't even played MoP yet though. Honestly it was really tempting a couple of months ago when I didn't have much to play, but right now most of my gaming time is taken up with both Dota 2 and SC2. Also I know I'd just get to max level and get annoyed at the end game PvP again.

Good to see Matt Rorie back. And good to have someone who isn't completely ignorant and dismissive about WoW finally.

I should mention though that Matt Rorie, god bless him, is terrible at showing off WoW. Instead of showing the cool new areas that were added in the lastest expansion or patch, he ends up aimlessly wandering around in Deadmines.

Matt's return is great news, I literally couldn't believe it when I saw him on the other video. Maybe I missed the announcement in a podcast or something.

There was no announcement and to this day isn't. The whole thing has been handled with nothing more than a passing shrug "hey that guy Dave Snider that built this entire website with us from the very beginning, he's gone, oh and hey Matt is back, anyway we're playing a poker game over here!"

Lately there have been times when I think "wow they really get it, they know exactly why people love this site so much" and then shortly right after that I think they must be completely clueless or worse yet simply don't really care that much anymore.

What the hell are you talking about? Dave wrote an entire post stating he was leaving and his reasons for doing so, and he talked about Rorie's new position.

Matt did post a pretty extensive blog post about it, but other than that, very little fanfare about the whole thing. I really wish they would do a special show dedicated to Dave and all that he has done for the site; really annoying to see the departure of one of the core GB guys being swept under the rug like this.

I agree, it should have been handled better. I only found out what was happening after people in video comments pointed to Matt and Dave's blog posts. They explain things very well, but I'm sorry I don't read everyone's blog posts. I come here for primarily for the video content and Bombcast and I think I'm safe in saying most others do too. So I would have expected something during a live show or even a dedicated video. This is DAVE we're talking about. He's one of the reasons the site exists and there needed to be something more to send him on his way and let the community know what was happening.

Damn, I had no idea about this whatsoever. I'm really surprised they didn't make a bigger deal about it. That's really strange.

From his blog (to @dexterkid). But yeah, a send of show or something is needed.
