Giant Bomb Thread #4: A thread of perceived slights

GiantBomb never did get back to me on whether I could throw up the Famicom stream archive on Youtube. I asked Jeff specifically and I also asked whoever runs their support email (I was told Drew)

I'm assuming that's their polite way of telling me not to do it.

Easier to beg forgiveness than ask for permission :)
 
Vinny>Jeff>Dave>Drew>Ryan>Brad>Patrick>Alex

The type of games they cover has some effect.

I don't think so. I think frequency of appearance is the x-factor here. If Vinny showed up in more QL, he'd be slightly lower I wager, and Patrick would rank higher if he didn't appear in most of the content they put out.
 
The only thing I don't like about Patrick's presentation ability is his tendency to overuse swear words. Not that there's anything wrong with cursing, but I noticed he did it on the panel quite a bit, substituting swears where he could have used another word. But I think he deserves a pass on this because it must have been very nerve-wracking to be speaking in public like that, and he is a bit younger than the rest of the crew. He doesn't really do this on the podcasts as much, so I think he may just have been more nervous here.

Nah, I'll take Vinny's enthusiasm and goofiness over Ryan/Patrick's snark regardless of number of appearances anytime. I do like Patrick when he's paired up with the right crew members, though.

Disagree. I'll always watch a Jeff and Vinny Quick Look (or Vinny and Brad) no matter how many there are.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. I'm just saying that the frequency with which the guys appear in QLs affects this more than the type of games they cover like that guy was saying. I bet Vinny would have a slight lead over Jeff rather than being number 1# by a landslide, patrick wouldn't do quite as badly if he didn't show up in every second piece of content etc. etc.
 
I'm confused, should I clear my (already empty) schedule for tonight? The 'coming up' tab had a GDC live show listed for tomorrow but that's gone now. All these tweets about "tonight" certainly seem to be pointing in that direction.
 
Disney Infinity looks kind of cool. Would be more interested if there was older stuff at launch.

Or at least a Tron figure or something.
 
Oh man.

I'm with you. I thought I had missed it or was crazy because I saw no one talking about it.

We are actively lining people up for tomorrow. We tried, but couldn't make tonight happen, too many people wanted to come after the awards and the start time was just getting later and later and later. So we're going to try to get folks in here on Thursday. Friday may or may not happen depending on how many people come through on Thursday. Some people like to fly out on Friday so I'm not sure who's still around.

So Friday may end up being a special edition of Unprofessional Fridays with some special guests and stuff. Hard to say, this stuff is always so fluid.
