Giant Bomb Presents: Why Silicon Knights Vs. Epic Games Is Probably Over

Not gonna lie, really liked Too Human

That coding stuff is precious. It really is like a kid saying no, 'he didn't eat the cookies' with cookie crumbs all over his face. Cool interview, thanks Patrick!

Hahah okay...? Guy is pouring out information and Patrick just says "KTHXBAI"

Not trying to be a jerk, but what gives? Did you set a predetermined interview length ahead of time? Have to poop real bad? Just curious.

I love how Patrick either interjects longwinded stories into these interviews if it relates to something he's talked about before or, if it doesn't, just abruptly doesn't acknowledge what the interviewee just said at all and moves onto the next question/ends it.

Duder: *3 minutes of straight talking*

Patrick: COOLMANTAKECARE

No hate, just a funny observation. Anyway, nice interview. Still not quite sure what SK was thinking. Maybe they would have even gotten away with stealing the code if they didn't get greedy and sue over something else. At least until some random person on the internet caught it.

It's just editing. We transitioned into an off-the-record part of the conversation.

good job patrick

Get outta here, Dyack.

I knew it was editing, but it got the same reaction from me at first.

I know it's easier said than done, but perhaps maybe sometimes have a short outro for these types of moments when the conversation is over with but there isn't a clear finish. Just fade in some music and give a brief conclusion.

An intro and outro for a 10-minute conversation might be overkill -- it isn't that big of a deal -- but it's better than it sounding like "whatevs, l8r."

@patrickklepek: Thanks for explaining. I genuinely enjoy your interviews, keep them coming!

So many games having shitty endings have finally shown their effect on Patrick. Cool interview nonetheless.

Very fascinating interview, good job Patrick.

That was interesting.

I always find game company lawsuits really interesting, wish we got more in depth coverage on them.
