It's been a long road, but Rorie's will continue to be long and prosperous.
I checked out of following GB because I didn't care for the direction the site went after Gerstmann left. But I came back to this to see Rorie out. Is this really what UPF has become? Watching Bakalar open fucking trading cards for 30 minutes, with some giant sponsor code on the screen? Christ. Real GB is well and truly dead...
Popping back in to say see ya, Rorie. I always appreciated you being the resident WoW player. I remember being caught off-guard when you casually mentioned on some random UPF that you grew up close to where I live.
Good on Jan for not being that "I'm going to use you to cut in line" friend. I've been on the receiving end of that, and it sucks. Makes you feel like shit, and also you become hyper-aware of the people in line now glaring at you.
It's kind of funny - I only listened to like the first 20 minutes of this episode, specifically because Gerstmann wasn't on it. The lack of Jeff G made me realize that, in modern GB, I only cared about Jeff G. When he wasn't present, I did not care about the content. And then, the following week, Jeff G got shitcanned. Welp. It was a good run, GB, but you're dead. What's left is not Giant Bomb.
Jeff mimicking the How Bizarre voice was hilarious.
Jeff's tweet about the Xbox running old PlayStation games better was fucking weird with how idiot console war fanboys swarmed the replies. Like, why *that* tweet? I don't get it. One guy even asked "how did this kid get verified" (directed at Jeff) and it's like lmao you don't even know who Jeff is yet you're bitching in his replies, who is actually the "kid" here?
League of Legends has been a franchised esport with off-seasons longer than OWL has. Additionally, the CoD League is set up almost identically to the OWL, since it's the same parent company.
I think Jess is wildly underestimating the average age of this audience. I highly doubt that half of us were born after 1995. Probably less than one quarter, if I had to guess.
Wasn't a fan of the crime emails from the start, but if people are going to be braggadocious jerks in them, then yeah, it's time to call it quits on those.
I've had a dishwasher all my life, but we still scrub things before putting them in. You have to make sure there isn't shit caked on the plates or whatever. Our dishwasher is also over 20 years old IIRC, so yeah.
There was a string quartet rendition of Sweet Child o' Mine specifically used at a wedding in The Office. Maybe Jess' friends were recreating that.
Man, I really hope we do get more Deus Ex eventually. The problem with not bringing back Jensen is that Mankind Divided left off on a huge cliffhanger.
