SR2 was definitely the best open world game in the series, Stillwater was so much more interesting. But the story missions, writing and combat are much better in 3/4. Steelport is probably one of the most sterile and uninteresting cities I've explored in an open world game though.
That's baffling why he would earn that though, the racing against racing games post is weiiiird.

It's sarcastic, not a dig against Brad.
Should have a secret link then!
Yeah, I liked SR4 but Crackdown is still the king for me in terms of precise open world platforming. WIth SR4 you kinda just push into one direction and that'S it.
Too bad Crackdown 2 was such a steaming pile.

So Brad and Vinny are the only staff on the clock for today and tomorrow?
Hopefully UPF will feature a cross-coast Skype call.

I was also kind of surprised that they didn't have positive memories of SR2. I loved that game. I thought that game was the follow-up to San Andreas the world deserved, instead of GTA IV.

Had a weird dream last night that Jeff Gerstmann offered me a job at Giant Bomb.

Saint's Row 3 writing and atmosphere is excellent and nails the tone they're going for. Comparisons to Sharknado are totally inappropriate, given that series is completely lazy, has no tone, and is all premise, no execution.
I also think comparing The Room to Saints Row 2 is a bit unfair as well (to Saints Row that is). Saints Row 2 clearly understood the humour and tone it was going for, and while it didn't always make it, it at least hit the mark more often than not. You can actually see the evolution of the stuff Volition was going for in SR2 in Saints Row 3. The people making those games knew where the strengths in their series lay, and slowly worked towards it over the years.
Whereas The Room was never intended to be a cult classic dark comedy, no matter what face saving Tommy Wiseau has attempted to do in years since. It was supposed to be a serious drama about a man being betrayed by everything in his life and somehow was this perfect miracle of hilarity that had nothing to do with intent. Everything Wiseau has done since demonstrates he has a complete lack of self awareness, capped by an AV Club interview a few weeks ago where he called the interviewer a prick.

Brad hates everything and everyone.
All he cares about is DOTA.
He would probably trade his cats for DOTA3.
You mean peegs. Jeff is the one who has a cat (I think).
SR2 is amazing. I have yet to replay it, but I liked it better than SR3 when I played that.
March of the peeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeegs
That's so Jeff, much like that time Jeff named his cat Cat.

Jeff is posting cat pictures on tumblr now?
He has turned into the very thing he hates.

Hes gunning for that Trending Gamer 2015 award
Senpai doesn't notice me.
He notices, but he doesn't care.
How about... not those two do that quick look? Rorie is all "LOL!" and Jeff is all "this is shit".
My vote: Drew and Brad.

a dog will at least serve as a decent alarm and a form of home defense depending on their size. a cat will do neither and, if anything, will help criminals get into your home because they're jerks and just want to go outside and scratch things.
you can love cats, but dogs are where it is at.

I mean if you want to treat it as a tool, then sure, dogs are probably better tools than cats.

naw, not that i treat my pup like that but it's more of an added perk of having him. the added perk of having a cat is that you get to buy new furniture every few years because your pet really likes scratching the legs of your couch.
im just being a jerk. cats are fine, just love seeing cat people get defensive
