@ildon: I don't think his name is as well known as his online alias "FourZeroTwo". He was basically the dude everyone tweeted at with concerns over Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2, but outside of that I can see how you would have no idea who he is.

I also didn't know a thing about this game until watching the Game Awards. The Bomb Crew discussed it shortly in the podcast following those awards, but that is about all the coverage I've seen of that game/this studio on this site.

Just wanted to back you up a bit! I knew both of these things and in no way fault you for not hearing about them - the coverage here specifically was minimal. That being said, a studio shutdown is definitely newsworthy, and I hope for all the best to anyone affected!

Well you just made my day complete.

BOOM!

Exactly how I feel. This both forces Brad to stay awake/talk about things other than Dota and allows Jeff to be his crazy self without the professionalism/structure required of a host. Jeff is best without the shackles of hosting, and Brad fills that role perfectly (or as perfectly as he can) in the absence of the late and great Ryan Davis.

This. The Any% Speedrun category is about getting from start to finish in the fastest way possible, utilizing whatever built in exploits exist in the code. It's a different kind of skill being able to hit the smallest window to glitch forward. I've watched quite a few of Cosmo's runs where he has to take 3-4 tries at some of the glitches that he makes seem extremely simple in this particular run. This is not an easy thing to do, he just had an unreal run and set his (and the world's) new record. Why try to take that away from him because you disagree with exploiting code flaws?

There are entirely separate categories associated with completing the game without exploits, and if you're curious: the speed-run record for 100% of OoT is 4 hours and 31 minutes... so even by not doing these skips a normal clear is not necessarily 20 hours.

I will concede however that the article here does somewhat mislead a reader (who may not be aware of Any% rules/this game's glitches) that this lengthy game was completed in a ridiculously fast time. Either way, congrats Cosmo on shattering your personal best!

Oh man Vaas was incredible. Best villain ever. Would've been the best story ever if they hadn't killed him so early on and left Hoyt as the big bad guy..

After playing some Spec Ops: The Line out of boredom I kind of hope they go with a super calm, collected, eloquent villain like Konrad. Just perfect level of insanity because of how calm he seems all the time, truly believing he is making a better world (although not true since it's all in your head the entire time anyways); true sociopath rather than the energetic craziness of Vaas.

I love when Jeff rages. Jeff's rage voice speaks to me.

I have to agree on Episode 3 lacking serious story development. I picked the game up recently though so I didn't have to wait between episodes... so I'm a little worried my interest will fizzle out by ep. 4. Hopefully not, it seems pretty cool although I do not know where they're going from here other than pursuing a killer we already know the identity of..

Maybe Colin is the Crooked Man?! (not serious, but I also miss Colin.)

If Nintendo put ALL of their old releases on Virtual Console/e-Shop in this region I would go buy a WiiU. Trying to find a legal route to play all of the old childhood classics of NES and SNES, especially with a controller that feels right is nigh impossible. A system for 299.99 that is basically every Nintendo system... Yes, I want that.

Also, Windjammers would be a system seller. Do that.

Hey all, UplayID: Major_Konig007 (I want to change it so bad.. damn you Uplay). I need to get some community challenges done!
