Oh yeah, you have that hair-pulling weirdo as a PM.

It should be. Bears are awesome. Fighting them makes you the bad guy.

After all that beef that was sent in? Gotta keep a close eye on that stuff man.
So did UKIP win? That's about the only bad thing I can think of. The rest of the candidates weren't great, but at least they weren't basically racist.

WOW that Alex is spot onWorks of art
The voice of a generation vs a Walmart-loving corporate sellout. Of course Dan would take Konami's side. Wake up, sheeple!
They won 1 seat in parliament but got nearly 4 million votes. Our electoral system is, fortunately this time, completely fucked up. They got like 13% of the vote which is kinda disgusting.
Maybe it's just me, but I always cringe when people put up segments from premium streams up on YouTube.
It'd be one thing if it was Giant Bomb doing it, but when it's just some guy?
Your system is working just fine. Yes, they got 4 million votes, but that was spread across the other country.
It's like how I'm fairly certain the Democrats have greater number of votes for Congress, but control neither house.
The point of representational government is assuring that each area has someone who represents their interest. And in this case multiple regions that had high amounts of UKIP votes still decided they wanted somebody else representing them.
If you simply took a national poll and assigned members according to vote percentages, it's highly likely that entire regions would fail to be represented.
Now if districts are gerrymandered, I can see an argument. But the argument I'm hearing about UKIP is a bunch of shit.

It's 10 minutes out of a what, five, six hour stream? It's fine, and if GB cared they'd be taken down.
I said it bothered me. I didn't say others had to be bothered.

Big Live Show is freely available on GB's Youtube channel.
In general, I think fan-made highlights and compilations (even of premium segments) is pretty much the best advertisements you could want for the actual premium content.
I'm definitely bothered by it, too. Especially if it's closer to the 30min mark than the 10min mark.
The Premium show (obviously) is not. But the main candidates for removal (for me) would be the Best of MPPP, anyway. The last one is about 45 minutes long.

Yeah, I think the Mario party ones are a bit excessive but if it was a problem I'm sure it would be taken down.
Yeah, I saw a video called Best of Mario Party Party 4 Part 1 and it was 20 minutes long.

No, that's fine, I'm just pointing out that this is one of the smallest slices I've seen for premium content. For example, the MPP2 supercut that I like is about twenty minutes.

The second part is 23 minutes, that's way too much in my opinion. I can't even really think of 40 minutes from that stream that warrant being in a best of video.

Is this the part where we post the anime to depart from the thread?

There was a premium show outside of the 7 hour livestream that's up on the official YT channel (and the two hour-long afterparty on GB Unarchived)?
Maybe I'm just confusing things right now.

You never post anime, under any circumstances.

you're kidding but it's really great and the callers were surprisingly good

The premium stream was supposed to be great, I only caught a little of it but the callers all seemed fine to me and I didn't see anyone complain about any of the other callers.
I want to hear Dan's thoughts on the police brutality and subsequent riots in Ferguson and Baltimore.

The concept of 'highlights' is antithetical to the Mario Party. You have to sit through Pair-a-sailing 4 times to truly appreciate when completely random bullshit happens.

still 3 pages to go!
Don't you mean one? We are already on page 199 with 100 posts per page.

Sounds more like a case for Idle Thumbs Robot News instead of Giantbomb.

i wonder if any of the admins would know how many people use 100posts per page vs 50 posts per page
All the cool kids do and that's what counts.
There is zero reason to stay on 50 ppp.
Are people just lazy? Do they enjoy changing the page more often?

Yes
You think everyone on the GB staff is circumsized?
