Is the volume low for anyone else? I have to increase my Windows volume setting to like 90 in order for it to be at normal level while playing a song in Foobar right now would probably make my speakers explode. It was like this on the Olympics stream as well.
This looks retarded. It's as if they contacted some hipster douchebag who always posts Anonymous messages on his Facebook and offered him the job of game director. It's a depiction of what infantile numbnuts who saw too many shitty movies imagine the hacking scene is really like.
These microphones are perfect for the desk-based setting you guys have going on. Sounds great, and there's the added benefit of looking like news reporters while Vinny's doing his best to break games. :D
That said, are you guys ever planning on completing the baffling of the studio? The panels resting on the walls are fun and all, but it doesn't quite fix the acoustical issues.
New idea for Mailbag: Instead of people spending crazy amounts on postage to mail Giant Bomb all their useless/old, busted electronics or gamer/nerd kitsch, what if, people donated the amount it would have cost to ship said junk to Extra Life (or similar GB approved charity).
Then, the Giant Bomb Crew has a lot less trash to throw away or recycle, and a great charity, like Extra Life, makes some coin. It's a Win-Win.
I'll admit they sometimes receive literal trash, but your suggestion is extremely naive.
I know it was a joke anyway, but the Portuguese for "where is the bathroom" isn't "onde esta os lavabos", that's some weird mix between spanish and english-portuguse google translator. In Portuguese it's "onde fica a casa de banho" if you're in Portugal or "onde fica o banheiro" if you're in Brazil. Lavabos exists in Portuguese as well but that's the word for "sink" and since lavabos is considered plural, it's used estão (they are) instead of está (it is).
And I apologize in advance if I sound like a jerk for explaining this.
Your post was informative and you did not have to apologise. Anyone thinking you sound like a jerk for posting that is an idiot.
