Your money would be going to whatever makes this site tick. This includes salaries paid to staff members.

Of course, if you feel that the site doesn't offer anything worthy of your dollars, that's totally fine.

That said, the point made by @lordofultima still stands: what does it matter on what a staff member spends his salary?

Again, if I'm paying for a service and they aren't delivering content, why am I paying for said service? Besides keeping their pockets lined, what else is it doing? Dont get me wrong, I love those guys, and I've been following Jeff for over 10 years, but truth be told, the premium membership isn't worth it.

I plan on getting a yearly membership soon. I would be devastated if this site were to cease to exist. I just expect more content. This isnt really aimed at the money, or the membership, its really that this site(compared to other similar sites) isn't supported as much, and it shows when you can see the same headline story for days on end here.

Well, I think your concern for a lack of content is reasonable to a degree (GB's video content is mostly a lot longer than that on competing sites) but I feel your discontent with Ryan buying an arcade cabinet is a separate issue from not finding any content to justify the price of a premium membership. That said, my motives of buying a premium membership are similar to yours; I do it to support the existence of this site instead of to buy into specific premium features.

As to seeing the same headline for days on end, I think this problem is most apparent over the weekend and on monday (when they record the bombcast). I feel they could do a better job of spacing their content evenly throughout the week and have some more stuff go up on saturday and sunday.

I have nothing more to say, I agree with this completely. The arcade cabinet thing was out of bad taste and I didn't think anyone would even notice my comment in the first place.lol.

Best gaming website ever! Thanks to Patrick for bringing something different to the table. Never been so happy to part with $50 each year. Love you guys!

IGN is a shit site, but their running a story very similar to this. http://games.ign.com/articles/121/1215728p1.html

I figured this was unique, apparently not. I also dont like the idea of paying for Ryans arcade machines either. You gotta admit, not much gets done on this site.

Almost everyone in the Giant Bomb office has an arcade cabinet of some sort, they've all talked about it. What does that matter what they spend their money on? It's their money. And you think that a Whiskey subscription fee directly affects how much money Giant Bomb gets paid? Are you serious? If I get my paycheck from my workplace, and go buy 100 cheeseburgers with it, nobody should care. It's officially my money, and my choice to purchase 100 cheeseburgers.

Look, the fact of the matter is that I dont see any features that warrant dropping dough for a premium membership. This site rarely gets updated, the quick looks and the games they showcase are ones I'm NOT interested in. Do you think I care what they spend their money on? I would if I subscribed, since my money would be going other places than the site obviously.

I installed to my hard drive and got the new patch. Nothing really bad except some massive frame rate drops in spots (Game freezes for a few seconds and then goes at like..5-10 frames for a bit).

Have you encountered a dragon yet? Supposedly they fly backwards in the most recent patch. (I haven't downloaded it.)

That unfortunately doesn't affect everyone with the patch. Maybe the new patch will make everybody see it.

Indeed. The only thing everyone gets is the broken magic resistance.

Not everyone, I didn't get it. I tried it out on both characters as well.

Are you sure? I havent heard one person that DIDNT have the magic resistance bug. Summon an atro and use its complimentary element on it. If it takes damage, you have that bug.

@risseless: I'm not defending anyone, I'm looking at this realistically. Unless you of course think Betheseda release buggy fixes out of spite...

Either way, saying your "peace" on an internet forum will not change this reality. Neither will playing it for an hour until it gets choppy and then just giving up on it. Actually letting the developer know what's wrong with your game will change it.

But hey, it's more fun getting your whine on. Because if there's anything your 15 years of experience has taught you; there's nothing more fun for the dev team to see than 15 000 comments complaining about crashes of your product, but not a single tech support request.

Lets bitch about the bitching! Nice work.

Most of the bugs SHOULD have been caught before hand. The patch that was suppose to provide improvements(but ironically didn't) should have been pulled from XBL immediately(ESPECIALLY given the two day gap in between) Its lazy. Will I play Skyrim, hell yea. But my faith in Bethesda as a studio is shot.

Please buy into this! It will prove that the game industry is going to shit.

So Elite is not so much of an elite service?

I don't get it.

@Jmangino: Are you stupid?

From what I can tell you need a subscription to use alot of those services(HBO GO for example) If you already have cable provider and a subscription to those networks, why do you need it through the Xbox? Makes no sense to me. Especially when the cable box is hooked up to the same TV you game on(most of the time) But people still pay for the shit so...

1. That picture is NOT from the console BETA

2. The caption is wrong also. The HD texture pack is NOT already running in the BETA. If it was, you would know about it. Come on! Can I have Patricks job? Seriously, the dude is NOT a good addition to the Squad.

3. This is not a big deal. This is no different than a regular install. Both PC and console fanboys need to chill.

4.Why would this HD texture pack slow down the game?Whoever said that is a fucking dildo. Why would installing anything make the game run slower? I dont see any logic to that.
