What do they do to people at Kotaku to make them write those articles. Is there some kind of tutorial for how to present something you saw on reddit

 

[Bacon]

"women live in fear of the white man"

Lol, "you can't disagree with me". That's a solid argument, not sure why I haven't used that before, seems foolproof.

 

[valeo]

The site is working fine for me.

 

[Myggen]

Oh come on popo, is there really a need to bring that shit in here?

 

[Lunar FC]

Do they take audience questions in the panel?

 

[Bacon]

I agree this is the metal gear and anime thread let's not talk about Patrick's Twitter

 

[StoveOven]

Do they take audience questions in the panel?

Yes, but they're surprisingly not awful

 

[shadyspace]

Yes, talking about Patrick and his work is clearly too close to being on topic!

 

[Zaph]

There's no way Patrick didn't expect the heat he's getting over the Until Dawn article he just put up.

Laughing and joking about who you can't wait to see die is like half the fun of watching trashy horror with people. I think some people must just spend far too much time on twitter.

 

[Myggen]

Do they take audience questions in the panel?

Yep, it's totally fine this time.

It was more that discussion specifically, seems like discussing that exchange can only end in tears.

I don't think anyone would cry here tho

Yeah, I brought it up from a clickbait angle. I mean, how do you not expect controversy over a piece where you relish in the death of a female character? That's probably just me being cynical though.

 

[popo]

What? I don't take sides in this sort of discussion, if I do then I am on the pro-women side, but that poster is ridiculous. There is no discussion to have. I singled that exchange out as one that all sides could point and laugh at.

Pat just likes trashy horror stuff. It causes him problems because it goes against his very liberal stance on just about everything else. If the game wasn't based around horror tropes then I am sure he would be decrying the depiction of violence against women.

 

[Myggen]

Oh yeah, for sure. It seems like he meant the piece as a play on people being drunk watching horror and screaming at the screen, but especially him being outspoken about the things he's outspoken about he should've (and probably did) expect some backlash on Twitter. To be fair I didn't see that much backlash, unless he got a lot of PMs.

With watching the four (?) pax things GB did, it's dawning on me that they've become a variety show of sorts. They've always been inching closer to it, but they feel quite set on it now. Personally I don't watch quick looks anymore, and I imagine they're not their biggest draws anymore (though the podcast always was held the #1 spot). I suppose that coincides with me losing interest with gaming in general, but still. I dunno what this post is, just a personal reflection I suppose. Anyway, long live giant bomb and their crazy shenanigans.

how close are we to showing them reaction videos with their PIP in a corner whil-

WAIT

OH GOD

 

[mnz]

I have a weird love for Twitter accounts like that. They are all so samey, too. Always tens of thousands of tweets jumping from outrage to quirky-thing to outrage and back. Just a mindset I've been fascinated by.

I remember someone describing GB as almost a reality show at times, and that description has stuck with me as very accurate.

Fair enough.

 

[Basileus777]

37 minutes of VR conversation on this panel and pretty much all of it felt like them repeating things they've said 3 or 4 times now.

Someone tell me this panel gets better.

 

[Teddified]

I can't wait until we get the exact same VR impressions on the Beastcast.

Spoiler

I hope not

 

[nckillthegrimace]

MGSV just froze my PS4. I think it's because it keeps trying to ping the servers for an online mode that's completely unstable.

 

[Zornack]

Wait, what's wrong with enjoying the murdering of fictional women? Murder is a cornerstone of entertainment. Man, woman, both, neither; kill em' in a fun way and I'll pay to see it.

 

[strafer]

Another day. Another controversy in the gaming world.

social media is an arms race to see who can be the first to designate any piece of media "problematic"

meanwhile fucking donald trump somehow stands a legitimate chance of becoming president, but make sure you check your video game murder privilege

where we're going, we don't need to invent things to be offended by

So it's basically like all the e3 night shows this year? Bleh.

 

[Teddified]

Alex is having some twitter fun I see.

 

[Twin Tails]

OFFICIAL page of Tails!

That Tails Twitter account is as weird as you'd expect. Homophobic Republican Tails account suddenly talking about Obama for some reason.

It makes the iDroid menus slow as fuck too. I just play in offline mode.

I need to remember that for when I start playing.

 

[stump sock]

yeah it's really shitty, not sure why they thought it would be cool to have idroid ping the MGO servers every time you try to access something.

just play offline...

 

[alr1ght]

I just hope they won't fuck up MGO (they will). MGO in MGS4 was so much fun.

 

[AcridMeat]

My enjoyment of this game is growing. Is it just me or are the colors off in the avatar versus pic? Oh god my eyes.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Do they not make the pax panels into podcasts anymore?

THE DAYS OF AUDIO ENTERTAINMENT CONSUMPTION ARE OVER! IT'S ALL ABOUT VISUAL ENTERTAINMENT CONSUMPTION!

Looks blue and white to me.

Trust me you wouldn't want to subject yourself to that audio on the go.

Looks blue and white to me.

Weird I see black and gold.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I mean the beginning audio was bad but it seemed to have settled down after awhile.

I kinda like listening to them on the go.

 

[Rhaknar]

I'm sorry who is this Patrick person? I don't see him on giantbomb.com

Spoiler

:3

 

[LiK]

finally finished MPP5 and that ending was awesome. definitely the best MPP they had. the crowd made it awesome. Dan is right, they need a crowd for this lol

 

[Basileus777]

Somehow the Q&A was the best part of a GB Pax panel.

 

[FStop7]

Next time I call my mom I'm just going to ask 'do you live in fear of the white man' the minute she answers the phone.

 

[Van Owen]

Watching some of the PAX videos. Did they hair say Dan is having a baby? Is that some joke I missed or is his gf actually pregnant?

Don't worry, Danny is going to raise it.

That's what I thought too until Alex shouted into the mic later on and actually killed me.

Luckily I can post from outer heaven.

What was it revealed on?
