OK dude. Your trolling is usually pretty funny, but don't attack people directly please, Rorie in particular. He's not as obnoxious as he acts on camera. just listen to the Screened podcast

@MysteriousBob:  anime vice is run by 1 guy.  That's it.  No one at whiskey really likes anime, like at all. In fact:

Well its not that bad, I think the merch is more of a community thing as if you're buying at members cost you're buying wholly at production cost so they don't make ANY money.  So its hardly a commercial endeavour. 
 
Its not just there for the sake of it too, they're just doing transitions and shit lol

Once again Tested stole the show. Their craziness is exactly what I look forward to on the Happy Hour, they never fail to make me laugh. Will and Norm are excellent together.

TO ALL N0N MEMBERS: I would highly sugext becoming members because this is not a good representation of what makes the happy hour/TNT vidoes awesome.  I would really subscribe to see the other 20 something videos.  I mean this is the 4th free video, but there has been A LOT of craziness inbetween those.  I would high;y suggest subcribing, espescially  if you live in the 613 ottawa area.  Seriously, why wouldn't you want the gi8antbomb crew coming to visit.

Pretty much. But honestly, if you didn't shoehorn the rest of it in with Giant Bomb bits, almost no one (not to be an asshole or anything, just being blunt, here) would give a damn. "
Tested usually has good bits and I like the ComicVine Theatre bits, but they haven't done one of those in a while.

I hope these get better soon. The opening segment reminded a problem that arises with guests: A long conversation involving people and subjects I've never heard of. Sara was absent again, but on the other hand so was Rorie so I win in the end YES!!!
 
I have to agree that Giantbomb is the most important website: I never use the other ones. Keep buying T-shirts and subscribing so we can send the Squad on a World Tour! Also, I would totally buy a Hardcore Dave T-shirt.

Man that We Dare part was disappointing, I was expecting some awkward and hilarious moments, instead its yet ANOTHER mini game collection for motion controls. Really? Developers can't think of anything but mini game collections for that stuff? 
 
 
Edit: I retract my statement about the hilarious moments not being there, that part where Ryan is blindfolded had me in tears.

Of course the GB segments will be better, because they already do content daily that fits the live show. All they have to do is a short-form Quick Look. Whereas Tested couldn't really make an interesting segment out of some new smartphone, and they can't show iPhone games because Giant Bomb already plays games in their segment, so they have to resort to showing crappy kitchen implements and TV dinners. And they do a fine job of that for what it is. "
Look at the viewer stats during the show: Practically no-one else watches the other streams. I'm not interested in comics, I'm not interested in films or their critics and hate the puerile Tested embarrassments. If only Anime-Vice had a slot!   Honestly, the Tested sections are poor, since Will is not a good presenter. Plenty of other shows make technology look interesting to watch, so they really have no excuse, apart from themselves.  I remember watching on-the Spot with Geoff and Ryan on Gamespot. Those shows (with Rich Gallup and Alex) were so awesome. Why can't they do something like that again? A live hour full of different games and competitions, featuring the viewers? I'd be right up for that!  Also I thought this site had no ads for members. What's with all the t-shirt ads?   "

I look forward the most to the Tested bits as they are completely random and for the most part fun.
Apart from the creeper cam a couple of weeks ago the Giant Bomb bits are quite boring.

This week it was a poor showing with T-shirt Commercials that went on for way too long and some uninteresting stuff.

It's really disappointing to see so many nonchalant criticisms on nearly every free HH...
 
Moving on with the show, i want to see Ryan thrusting all day, and i love 01:02:53 so much. I really enjoyed the Wondercon section too, and holy shit, that Tested segment again, unbelievable, and sexier than We Dare by a mile. I could not stop crying with laughter. Thank you guys so god damn much for this!
 
I gotta say it, so much better without calls too. Shirt ads aside, it flowed so much better! i assume that is because it was a free one.

Probably not, but just as a cameo in one of the Tower challenges or something would suffice.   
 
Also, after seeing Tom Pinchuk on this (as well as some of his articles on Screened), I'm still wondering what his affiliation is with Anime Vice.  Since he seems to be more freelance, I doubt he does anything but provide (relatively enjoyable) content for Whiskey websites, such as his Watch & Learn articles.
