Love the calling out by Ryan, Vinny, Jeff and Brad for those dickweeds saying  
 
"You're not playing the game properly uuuuuuuuuuurrgh
 
Totally, fuck you, who the fuck are they to tell you how to play your game, go get fucked.      
 
EDIT: I meant this comment to expand to all people telling others how to play your games, not just in this instance. 
 
There are people who piss an moan about others not playing a game the way it was "Intentionally meant to be played"  
My comment was in relation to these people, My mate is one of these people, and it's annoying when he says to me "you're not playing the game correctly" who is he to tell me that?  
 
That is also why I said,  
 

   unless the game is multiplayer, in which your actions could be detrimental to another players enjoyment of the game


As cheating in multiplayer is shit, because there is another persons enjoyment being compromised if I am using a games broken-ness to cheat. 
 
Also, I know I am calling my mate a dickweed in association, we take the piss out of each other so yeah.

Most people were being very courteous about it last week,  and even though I readily take any chance to shit on this websites' terrible community,  the ones acting like dickweeds are Ryan and Brad.
 
Now I can't speak for the emails they supposedly received, but if we go by what Brad calls "furious"....I'm skeptical if those emails were "angry" at all.
 
Could be worse, though. Atleast they're not Spoony.

You just copy/paste that answer, and missed my point in which I am talking about a lot of people who seem to think that there is only one way to play a game, (any game) which is their way, what I am saying is, unless the game is multiplayer, in which your actions could be detrimental to another players enjoyment of the game, who are you to tell another person how to play that game, mods included.

Irony.

Think about these words.
 
Take a deep breath.
 
Now go look at the threads that discussed this again and tell me where people where saying that. Here is the thread were Brad claimed people were "furious", BTW:

@mutha3: And you miss my point again,  
 
I am talking in general terms here.  
 
I don't care about how this came up, It's good that it has been. 
  
Why does it matter to people if somebody plays a game the way they want to play a game, unless it detracts from another persons fun, who are they to piss and moan about somebody using mods or playing a game differently than them?  
 
And Yes, I notice my irony,  
 
My irony 
 
my irony. 
And why did you tell me to take a deep breath? I am not that emotionally involved in this.

I think the new X-Box opening is shorter than the old, it just isn't as flashy musically, which makes it seem longer.

What is with the US inability to pronounce Craig? It's not pronounced Kregg. It's Cray-gh. It's Scottish. Even the root word is pronounced this way.

I agree, Roger Moore is the best James Bond and also The Saint. 
But, on the other hand, Sean Connery, a fucking peasant,  is the worst Bond, while Daniel Craig is a fucking psychopath. The others were just kinda bland, but allright. I don't know, but the Bond movies lost me when they traded the elegance, the charm and witty dialogue in favor of gritty stupid emotional stuff and boring, bland characters.

Jeff calling the A's greats a disgrace is funny given how Barry Bonds was a fucking joke that retired before he got nailed for decades of steroid use.  The one thing I enjoy about the Giants' success is that Bonds wasn't there to get a ring.

@EOT: Hey now, I've heard plenty of people pronounce Craig both ways. It's like Cecil. How people pronounce it varies by dialect and region, just like any word. I myself pronounce it Craygh. *shrug*

I agree with both of you. Yeah, Ryan and Brad...well mainly Brad...overreact to things. Brad seems to get butt-hurt over the littlest things sometimes so I can definitely see how it would be possible they never receive many, if any, angry emails even though this community does kinda suck sometimes. I really like how Vinny reacts to this sort of stuff though. His reaction was great. He understands why the people feel that way, but he also has his points of saying "Yo, I'm not gonna see any of this content if I didnt cheat because I dont have the time". Yeah, the people do have a point that the game sorta isnt "supposed" to be played that way, but Vinny also has his points. I agree that people shouldnt tell others how to play a game except for two circumstances 1. when it's multiplayer focused and 2. when someone is reviewing a game. So there you go, you're both right :D

Jeff voiced why I love Fable so much. Because it's so laid back.  
 
Wait...JEFF GAVE MONEY TO THE FREEMASONS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?? 
 
And now he is supporting my mortal enemies!!!  
 
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! 
 
Also, I'm disappointed in Ryan. Roger Moore is awesome. He was Ian Fleming's first choice for Bond.

Like I said on GAF, Vinny's in the clear on this, as he did it for time in a single player game and understood the balance/RPGing he was breaking. No blood no foul.
 
Didn't know about the Word of God factor, heh. Glad to see devs who have their egos in check about this kinda thing.

Deleted, then, no problem. In my defense though, I didn't exactly have time at the moment I wrote that comment to sit here for an hour listening and skipping through a podcast. I can't always put stuff on hold just because of my own temper. (Also, I did read through the comments, just so you know.)

I loved the ripping on the forums at the end of the show.  GB is my favorite video game site, but honestly, that forum is a mess.  Nothing but poll threads.  And they didn't even get to the pointless blog posts that are of no interest to anyone but the author. 
 
Also, Brad, play The Writer!  You have no idea what you are missing.  Not only is it great, but it wraps up the Alan Wake story so far in a fantastic way that makes you love the whole series again.

What was up with that SMB3 Mario All-Stars cheat?  I just tried it in the game (Start + Up to cycle through powerups), but nothing!  Did Ryan have some kind of crazy bootleg All-Stars or am I just doing something wrong?
