Yeah, I guess they'll alternate between VinynVani and Contradiction.
Everyone involved with this game continues to be great.

has dan said anything regarding Hulk Hogan being a racist prick? That's gotta suck, even I'm kinda bummed out by it and I haven't watched wrestling since WCW died
Makes sense to space them out a bit.
Are they even awake yet on the West coast?

Lucha Underground is the best show on television even if you don't like wrestling, and I think they might actually be secret Bombcast fans since they just unveiled a whole storyline and belt that are basically an extended throwback to WMAC Masters.
Also Jeff's multiple extended Destiny rants are a fucking national treasure.

Castlevania is shit, and Konami were right
HOLY SHIT.. NO WAY.
They begin work 10am, so I'm betting he's not even aware of all of this shit yet (seems to have happened only a few hours ago?).

Totally, especially with Contradiction being new and they can't move one of them to middle of the week because that's where Blightclub is going to go.
Right!?

Fuck yeah!
Nah, usually I'm down for them talking/doing what they love, but I'd like to see them lay off the wrestling shit at least for a little bit.
I only followed wrestling as a kid, so I didn't pick up on a lot of the bullshit, but reading through the hulk hogan thread now (and all the other stories/videos people are linking to) it's obvious there's a systemic racism problem at WWE that goes way past some ugly caricatures.
Dan, if you're reading this, enjoy whatever you enjoy, but do GB's PoC fans a solid and try not to inject WWE into absolutely everything.
It's cute seeing Alex gush over a game like a little kid. This and Yoshi's Epic Yarn are cool quick looks.

Everything about Contradiction and the cast is wonderful. I hope that the game sells well and we get a sequel.
Contradiction 2: Justice for All.

End of the beastcast is the best.
Seems like a bit of an overreaction. But yeah, they had a lengthy discussion on wrestling's problems with race on a Powerbombcast a while back.
I'm well aware of all of that stuff. No one's denying that the WWE has done a lot of problematic shit throughout the years, not least when it comes to downright homophobic shit which hits me pretty hard. I'm more talking about the "stop talking about wrestling" part.

with another wrestling game coming out soon, you'll be hearing more about this year's game really soon. Usually, the reveal is around Summerslam so buckle up

Your lack of conviction now means that they will keep talking about wrestling.
If only you had supported Hitler.

I would consider Gawker getting closed down while hogan is still reviled as a racist to be a victory.
One of you childhood heroes reveals himself to be a piece of shit? Still never had a bad day Dan?
People must have suspected. This is why it was hard to side with Hogan against Gawker. Whoever wins, we lose.
If you know your wrestling you'd know that Hogan has always been a dick. There is a good reason OSW only refers to him as Cunt Hogan.
Even a racist piece of shit doesn't deserve to be secretly filmed having sex and then it be maliciously leaked onto the internet.
I have no sympathy for Hogan, but Gawker needs to be severely penalised, especially for what they did to that Conde Nast dude.
Developer : Jenks! Our game got played on the internets!"
Jenks : Was it Tweetie Pie?
Developer : PewPieDie, and no, it was Giant Bomb East!
Jenks : Oh ... that's cool too ... I guess?"
Maybe, if that were the Devil's bargain - but it was never going to happen. Even if he has a case - you ask for 100 million dollars and then multiple appeals later you settle for costs and cents on the dollar and consider yourself lucky.
Sure they are scumbags. But again, the likely result was that Gawker stays in business and Hogan walks away with a few million as a settlement. As I say, nobody wins.
Tonight on The Twilight Zone. FIFA vs. Gawker. One is destroyed but the other only grows stronger. Who wins, you decide.

FIFA in a heartbeat.
Their corruption has caused far more deaths.

Man, maybe I'm just a cynical shit but I find the Contradiction developers clinging to Giant Bomb a bit awkward.
