I know what you're trying to say, and I do agree that Japanese games are more memorable than a lot of western developed games, your statement is way too objective. Like you're saying Japanese games no matter what always have a better story than western developed games when that just is not true. So, while I kind of agree with you, I do not agree with the points you gave. Just because the Xeno series came first doesn't make Mass Effect completely irrelevant.

Also, it's 2013 and you used the word "babes" sincerely.

I think it's easy to miss that even though the amount of videos are low per week, you're still getting hours and hours of content. An often 3 hour bombcast, 2 hour (sometimes over, sometimes less) unprofessional fridays, and an hour and a half TNT. They're the only three things you're ensured to get every week barring gaming events such as PAX, E3 or something like GDC. So that's 6 up to 7 hours of content every week. This is barring Quick Looks (which range from 15 minutes to over an hour of content per video), mailbags, I Love Mondays, other sudden premium content, and special features such as the GDC talks and panel footage.

If you contrast that with YouTube personalities such as Yogscast or, heavens forbid, PewDiePie who put out videos daily ranging from one to two videos per day on their ranging from 10 minutes to 20 minutes per video, GiantBomb, which is also personality based content as the two examples I gave, is still putting out an above average amount of content per week even at its minimum. Sure, it's their job, and they could be making more, but it will not be as relevant or on time as it is right now. Videos take a long ass time to render and the quick turnaround times for the archives of TNT and Unprofessional Fridays is probably taking up a shit load of their processing time. If you look at something like a Yogscast, GameGrumps or PewDiePie, their content is heavily backdated by about a week or so ago, which for journalism, GiantBomb's specialty, is unacceptable.

So, I don't personally have a problem. They still put out hours and hours of content, premium or not.

If it's not exactly like the Xbox 360 reveal then the console will suck.

Sometimes I think the whole GiantBomb staff is too pretty. Especially Vinny.

Especially Jeff.

Oh if this has more to do with something other than Japanese video games then, yeah okay, I don't know much of anything about Phil Fish's comments on PCs or whatever else he's done. I just know people get pissed off at everything he says, particularly that Japanese game incident.

I apologise for commenting on something I wasn't entirely clear on. Though I would like to know what he has said to cause everyone in the PC community to hate him.

I love how he manages to rile people up over saying literally nothing of any substance. People need to stop being hyper sensitive over opinions. Sure his statement on Japanese games was a huge generalization, and I personally don't agree with it, but if that's what he thinks and believes, that is how it is for him.

These aren't GiantBomb users, but even the coverage on this site is pretty misinformed and often blatantly wrong about Japanese games and Japanese game development and a lot of the users on this site who follow Japanese games know this and I'm pretty sure they don't give a shit when Jeff, Patrick or whoever else says something dumb about Japanese games and they probably respond to it like I do by saying to myself "well they don't really know shit about this so whatever". Not that GiantBomb staff don't have valid points about Japanese game development or anything, they sometimes do but it's just not their specialty, obviously.

Basically; who cares? Phil Fish said a thing again.

Now nothing is appearing in the popular videos section.

It seems to be fixed for me now, too.

Unless this two year old video just suddenly gained such a high traffic to the point of where every other videos hit count looked completely irrelevant I'd say that this is a bug of some sort. I'm using Chrome, Windows 8. This section appears like this when viewing a videos page.

Hey, not sure if this has been brought up in a different thread yet but the staff tweets have disappeared. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if you guys are just retooling the staff tweets system or something. Just a heads up either way. I'm using Google Chrome and I'm on Windows 8 if you need to know that info.
