Giant Bomb Thread #4: A thread of perceived slights

So guys, not that it really matters a lot or anything, but I've been curious the last two weeks or so.

Is Ryan Davis gay? Not that I have anything against it but some stuff has just been noticed by me and I'm wondering if I'm all wrong on this one or not.

The way he was playing around with Alexis and Rorie and sometimes he makes these weird ass comments.. like in the Unmechanical quick look, Vinny says we are going to look at Ewan Gregor's all day, and Ryan is like oh I wish.

Just something that stood out to me personally.
 
That post was a joke, MMaRsu, you shouldn't actually ask his fiancee. The point is that he is getting married to a woman. Don't go on twitter and actually ask his fiancee, it's a joke.

Haha okay damn I'm not big up to date into their personal lives so I didn't know he was getting married soon. I wasn't about to go and twitter his fiancee about it though lol.

I must be seeing things :).

The bigger question is how they get the bikes into the TV.
They make a big deal at the start of the game about how they have to sneak their weapons in under their uniform but it's never brought up how they manage to bring 6 bikes with them into Junes and put them in the TV. And they are the same bikes they use outside the TV too so they are going back and forth with them.

For guys who are comfortable with their masculinity, joking around with your buds by awkwardly touching them isn't entirely uncommon.

Maybe that's why Yusake's dad is going to get fired, missing bike inventory.

Ryan, I'm wondering if you can comment on this photo that's been circulating, it's now posted on Giant Bomb, it appears to show you inside a San Francisco club called, er... the Man Hole.

There's alot about P4G that doesn't add up.

It's the power of Rorie, man. Feels, puppies, and hardcore games for everyone!

That's easy - the bikes were obviously created inside Teddy's 'shell', just like the glasses.

What I really want to know is (PS4/G spoilers)
does Adachi's social link affect the ending in any way?

You get additional lines and an additional scene where you (P4G Spoilers)
go meet with Adachi alone in the TV after his dungeon opens to try and talk him down (which obviously fails)
.
The only real effect it has is that (I'm going to straight up describe a new ending added in P4G)
when pointing out Adachi as the killer, you get an option to not tell the party about him because of your friendship with him. This then unlocks a new bad ending where you can say you want to be his accomplice and destroy evidence that points to him. This doesn't end up well and Adachi basically traps you in a situation where he says whenever he calls you then you better do what he says or he'll get you arrested as the real killer, all the while the game points out what a fucked up thing you've done. Then in the ending cutscene where the main character leaves on the train, there's an addition where you see Adachi crossing the train tracks and the protagonist clutches his phone in anger.
 
Remember when Vinny was talking about starting a newsletter?

I would pay for a Guns of Navarro/any other features the site has.

What I'm trying to say is that I want a Giant Bomb Magazine.

I say that kind of stuff daily and some people have mistakenly thought I'm gay. It's just fun to make some people nervous when a big man is touching them softly.

haha, I act the same. However, I feel really weird when the other guy is into it (seriously or just jokingly). It's all fun and games when I'm all touchy and the other guy is like OH SHIT WHAT THE FUCK.

When he gets all comfy and "let's do this", I usually don't know how to play it out and the joke turns on me. Basically, I chicken out first.

Oh well... :D

He just likes to flaunt how comfortable he is with male-male contact and general issues of male-male attraction.

Then he goes and says "faggot" on the Lantern Run

Ooof. They did apologize for that to be fair. As for the whole gay inquiry, I don't see it. I mean how many gay guys you know act that way? I know more straight who are way more touchy feely.

Man that Lanturn run was glorious. So much seething rage from everyone. Maybe a few people got offended, but honestly, I think it was nothing more than a random swear word that got released in the heat of the moment.

I know, I was just ragging on him. And I happen to find the hand-holding thing totally hilarious. It started when Matt's hand accidentally landed on Ryan's during a Happy Hour, and he just ran with it.
 
That 24 hour Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim stream really puts into perspective why Skryim was just OK for me. As apposed to two previous games I loved.

Man, completely forgot they did that. Totally miss all the random streams they used to do. Everything now seems so standardised (which isn't entirely a bad thing, having the Friday show every week is great).

This is just my opinion and I'm sure I'll get stomped on by someone if I'm wrong, but -

That complex rig they have in the new studio absolutely murders spontaneity.

Totally agree, obviously the production value is much better than what they had at the original office but it pretty much means that unless both Drew and Vinny are there it makes livestreaming stuff on the fly impossible.

A lot of my friends are like this, it's not uncommon at all.

Some people are just comfortable with their sexuality and piss around with friends, although i do have one friend that gets pissed when i faux flirt with him because i am gay and he isn't.. Like he gets really mad to the point where it's pretty hilarious.

I think it's more that their time is tied up in meetings/planning/whatever else comes with having CBSi as your higher-ups than them now having a complex rig.

In either case I hope more spontaneous features make a return, my fingers are crossed for this summer to be full of premium content.

HA!.... :(

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. Just that Vine video Drew posted was crazy enough - looked like he was powering up a concert hall.

But I think some of it is down to them no longer having that 'start-up enthusiasm'. All that corporate bureaucracy is sucking the energy out of them. But I suppose it's still better than not existing at all.

I think a certain amount of suspension of disbelief is needed with this. I mean it's very hard to believe the Protagonist managed to sneak in various swords in his uniform, or Chie's grieves, or Kanji's desks and chairs. They weren't actually waiting outside since they show up in the dungeon occasionally and they always appear on the last floor when fighting the boss shadow. It's just a gameplay caveat that you're using four characters, the others are always there story wise.

The guy does sort of have a redemptive arc if you finish the social link and go for the true ending.

Well if CBSi put their foot down we might get lucky.
 
I would be far more bothered about how they face down the final boss in the game with 4 dudes instead of your entire party. At least in P3 they handwaved it away by saying a bunch of other shadows were attacking at the same time and the rest of your party was dealing with that shit. In this the rest of your party apparently just buggers off

Just wanted to jump in to say that things are actually easier than ever. All the additions we add to the studio are to make things easier, not harder. At this point, it actually takes longer to get the chat servers warmed up than it does to get a stream going. I even bought 3 PCs with their own capture kits so folks can do their own business.

Patrick is doing his Spookin' by himself. Jeff streams all his solo stuff from home by himself. I just did this on Friday night while I was alone cleaning up the studio and then Jeff joined in from home: http://www.twitch.tv/giantbomb/b/396167210

The technology to do this stuff is the best and easiest it's ever been.
