@Chtasm: If that...thing...in the logo is a hairy ball sack, then there's something really going wrong with the shaft.

QLs are back to coming out fast and furious. Aside from a couple of games from a month ago when this all started, I'd say GB is back to full strength!

Yes! I requested to Vinny he do this Quick Look on Twitter. He'd probably have done it anyway but I'd like to think I helped. :P

Patrick's "Oh what the fuck" at about the 20 minute mark was the best thing for me.

This is a great Quick Look, oh man.

Of the six Quick Looks this week, five of them are with Patrick.

I don't want to be that guy (but I totally will be) but at this point I have to agree with the crowd. The people in this world that you could put a microphone in front of - and have it be bearable for a longer duration - is few and far between. This site is successful because they found four such people to head the site.

Patrick is a fine news guy, he writes great articles. He is however not one of the natural charismatic people described above. This automatically guarantees that a fair share of the audience will find it outright offensive to watch videos like this.

Giant bomb ought to err on the side of quality and put some thought into who appears on these quick looks, which are the sites biggest draw. If they think they're doing a favour to Patrick by putting him in a position he is not well suited for, and thereby constantly putting him in the line of fire for those jerks who can not be civilized about it, then I humbly submit they are mistaken.

Great quick look. It's a profoundly happy game. Too bad it's mechanically not as deep as Machinarium.

In the time it took you to write that, you could have made a friend. BOTANICULA IS A GAME ABOUT FRIENDSHIP.
