Quick question about the GameBomb.ru bit. Who was playing the Russian version of Alex and Patrick? I placed Will Smith, Pope and Drake but couldn't figure out who the other two were (or if they were on any GB content before).
@rorie: Still getting this issue and it is beyond frustrating to the point me contemplating canceling my subscription since I can't watch the premium videos I am paying for. This really should be the #1 priority for the dev team as videos are the lifeblood of Giant Bomb.

I honestly have no idea why people feel the need to harass women game developers or those that want equality. I guess it stems from the anonymous nature of the internet. People feel they can say whatever they want without consequence. It's both the best and worst part of the internet.
Having said that I do think Anita Sarkeesian under-delivered on her Kickstarter and I think it's a shame that people can't say so without being labeled as sexist and lumped in with the crazies. I admire that she wants to tackle the subject of women in video games but I don't think she goes far enough in to looking at the context of a lot of the content she is commenting on. Japan is very much about sexualizing women and I think she would do well to examine that culture and it's effect on video games. A lot of the stuff she covers is coming from Japan. However, harassing her and making death threats should NEVER happen and anyone who does it is a fucking scumbag.
I'm not too familiar with Zoe Quinn as I usually don't watch any of the stuff Patrick does, though harassment is never okay. I really wonder who these people are that spend their time harassing these people.
