Maybe we should have separate seating from the members too? It wouldn't be in my place to sit next to a privileged member, maybe everyone without membership can sit at the back together, with clear signs saying "PEASANTS ONLY". Wouldn't want to contaminate the paying members with my poor germs.

You don't understand. Those seats? They are your backs. Obviously.

Because obviously, the bad caller was a free member who was taking advantage of the free show. 
 
Don't make silly assumptions like that.

They should have some kind of user name verification before calling in, and if you have some kind of moderation or you only have 10 posts on your account then your probably a troll.

Today wasn't a great show. That's no reason to stop doing free shows for non subscribers. Guess what: they still outnumber us, and that's totally ok.

As many people have stated. All they really need to do is stop taking live calls.

Fuck yeah. I say split the forums too. I'd rather talk to the free members than talk to the self-indulgent whiny ass OP anyways.

If that's the case then I'm even less interested. Not that it's an attack on WM, but I hate it when a show feels like they "winged" it. Which would explain why i disliked tonight's show so much. "
That is what makes them funny, the fact that they never go to plan. "
I can see the appeal, but not for me. From all the episodes I've seen,  this one was really bad. I didn't really enjoy the others that much ether.

Video game-related call-ins will always go bad. Mostly because your average gamer is some annoying little kid who tries too hard to be funny.

I haven't seen the Happy Hour this week yet, but if it really was that bad maybe they should only give the number to paying members? At least then people are paying for trolling privileges. Also last weeks Happy Hour was awesome, more of that please.

If you think the calls would be lame Batman jokes, you guys really don't know the internet.  There's no way that every unscreened phone call would not be disgusting comments about Sarah's body or gender.

Then let's get a little more 90's, we give'em taste and then get them hooked, until they end up with pure uncut paid GB in their veins!

Well it would somehow circle back to Batman. I've seen the chats. People love Batman.

According the Dave the number of memberships do spike after the free hours and I doubt the Bastion guys would be too happy about promoting to a limited audience.
 
Also, having $50 a year doesn't prevent someone from also being a troll a-hole.

This.  
 
I think that they should not have any calls for the free happy hours. Also I notice that I'm hating the chat 10x more on the freebie ones. When the word anime was uttered, that chat exploded with retards. I'm so grateful for the chat on/off toggle.

when it's non-free you there's no trolls? Lucky!! A subscriber would NEVER dare call the show just to troll, it's immoral.

Ya I think I'm going to watch it on a different site now. Giantbomb's chat is really annoying because it's full of the tools spouting memes. It just got way outta hand today. That chat on/off toggle is a god send though.

@blacklabeldomm Nice sarcasm. There are some calls were the person tries to be funny, but not something as blatantly stupid as this one. It's only one case so far so I wouldn't consider it a "pressing" issue.

The amount of posts taking jokes and sarcasm in this thread seriously are some sort of textbook example for the socially maladjusted nerd who doesn't get out much.

Yeah and I've been here longer than you yet I'm not a paying member nor am I a giant dickbag or a troll. Good job on generalizing everyone on this site, because paying all of a sudden makes you a good person right?
