I'm vaguely disturbed that you aren't using the dark theme on Giant Bomb. I'd hate to think which theme you're using here.

site just crashed

What the hell is going on with Giant Bomb as of late ? It's been all over the place. Random brief crashes here and there, video sorting being all messed up. Sheesh.

People have been joking about this, but there is a corrolation between the two events. I wonder if it's as simple as Alexis leaving the site in bad hands.

I mentioned this yesterday, but the problems seem to coincide with site updates (as you would expect). When they added the URL feature (for Extra Life), lots of problems. The voting feature seemed to cause a whole bunch of problems yesterday too.

I think their engineers are just too stretched. Alexis even mentioned on his last show the jumping around between multiple sites burnt him out.

He did a ban bet with Brad. DOTA. Two accounts enter, one account leaves.

Yeah, but site updates are obviously nothing new, and the site didn't behave like this before Alexis left. I think the new guys might not be as competent as he was.

Alexis was a designer, not an engineer. But I think the CBSi engineering department has had a lot of turnover as of late. The dude who used to post here left too.

Those kind of teams always have a lot of turnovers in bigger companies like CBSi though.

holy shit, the "these consoles really suck" discussion on the podcast really did a great job of bumming me the fuck out.

that's maybe a little bit hyperbolic after just one year, no?

Can I interest you in some SingStar instead of maybe Mario Party?

Or instead of Persona Q because I'm sure they'll do a QL of that regardless.

It seemed to me more about a good PC being a better alternative for most third party games so early in the life of those consoles.

I'll change it to SingStar if they do a QL for Persona Q :) Would it be a returning QL?
Click to expand...

SingStar? Nah, they didn't QL that one.

If SingStar doesn't make it, and some boring bullshit (for a QL) like Wasteland 2 or BoI does... I won't do anything, but I'll get angry! Think of what makes entertaining QLs, people!

Ah, I see. Well, in any case, I'm sure the people responsible are doing everything they can to fix this.

I am. I don't want it to win Game of the Year; I just want it to win the best soundtrack award, because it should. Nothing else this year comes close to matching it. Seriously.

Damn it. I can't vote for Danganronpa 1 or 2 because the Giant Bomb database counts them as 2010 and 2012 releases because Japan.

I weirdly don't feel tired, and have been walking around the house tidying parts of it - which is not normal, as things are usually a mess. I fixed a lot of my old Passwords on LastPass, and have been removing/adding songs I like/hate from Spotify...

I finally have clarity! This is great.

they did end up mentioning that building a good PC is still a fairly expensive and intimidating alternative to consoles, so I'll give them credit for that.

"The 360 is still better than both of the these new consoles!" is a goofy thing to say tho

I won't sleep now If I go to bed though, as I am not tried. I am instead hyper-awake. I am guessing I will crash before midnight - which I will be happy about. Then sleep. Might try to watch the Live Show tonight first. Hopefully.

I will probably look back tomorrow, and feel I made wrong decisions due to lack of sleep, but right now I feel Recognizer by Daft Punk should be on of my 30 Starred Song on Spotify

Humans are weird.

Keep going dude! I hear Sleep deprivation can have awesome (awful) results, i think your brain starts making shit up after a certain point. I wish i could experience that feeling for myself but i'm afraid of the headaches that could result from trying.

That is a real plus for me as I rarely get headaches for any reason, and if I do they are supposedly very mild compared to others I talked to. I don't feel like taking this to extremes though - I didn't even mean to stay awake all last night - It just kinda happen. Might break 40 Hours - but I think that would be it,
