Agreed. As a member of the lurking subscribers who don't post much, Rorie and Pack are great.

We love you Rorie!

Ben and Jason are rockin' too; I love everyone in the GiantBomb crew. So hush you guys are great.

I enjoy Rorie a lot. Would love to see him more in regular content, but I know he's swamped in support.

I legitimately get excited whenever he is on the podcast.

They really didn't do Path of Exile justice but omfg, they finally actually looked at it. It's always been a massive elephant in the room every time Diablo 3 is mentioned or played, repeatedly, and it's like they went out of their way to not even talk about it.

Path of Exile is basically the true Diablo 2 successor and one hell of an ARPG like nothing else.

Thanks for showing the Overwatch stuff Ben! I'm a Tracer main but also fill whatever role is needed so I end up playing a lot of Mercy too, this was cool to see.

Yeah, I would love to see more of @rorie in QLs and on the Bombcast occasionally!

So happy to see POE being played on GB.

Skill Bush..... Thank you Ben xD

Doesn't really have anything to do with the game's quality, but I'm bothered by how the PoE UI looks almost identical to the Diablo 2/3 one. Don't fix what's not broken, I guess.

To the crew: I learned today that if you have a GTX 1080 but have an older CPU, playing games at a 1080p resolution will 100% your CPU load. I guess the card is so fast that it will continuously ask for instructions and the CPU is like 'huh, what... didn't I just give you instructions 1 millisecond ago? Wait, there's another request for instructions? 100 more waiting? omg where does it end?" and it can cause things to run poorly.

And the solution in that case is to up the resolution. Like play it in 4k instead, and at least put every setting on max. Give that a shot!

The speed of your HDD should not be a factor in how well the game runs. And a GTX 1080 is apparently so overkill for 1080p resolution that you run into these weird hiccups. So maybe your PC isn't too slow, but your GPU isn't being challenged enough ^__^

Turns out a Rorie/Jason/Ben UPF is the exact kind of chill I didn't know I needed until l watched it.

I have always liked you, Rorie.

That's some quality Jeff Gerstman cosplay there.

Butt City occupation Ben and everyone watching!

Did Matt talk about his monitors again?

Rorie + No Jeff or Brad? Hard pass...

nice <> at the end there ben

@rorie Can you watch The Raid 2 without watching The Raid (1)?

Ben always rolls his eyes at RPG lingo but doesn't think twice about equally silly MOBA and fighting game lingo.

Rorie is f-ing great, anyone who says otherwise is an idiot, I get the feeling he is one of the most hardworking of the crew behind the scenes doing some of the more tedious admin work. Love it when he is on the videos and podcasts.

Oh yea Ben too, a fantastic edition the the squad.... SQUAD

I want to have rorie's baby. I am a straight man.

Sure, they're not really related. But they're both awesome.

Remember when the Bomb crew were all about that Overwatch?
