I don't get it.

He said nothing at the start.

Welp.

"I know all about this. Go ahead, ask me anything."

"What about..."

"No comment."

it's only trolling if you allow yourself to be trolled

I showed the roller coaster video to my girlfriend and she said "the blonde tech guy has really nice hair".

Got level 20 mastery on sapienza in Hitman


What a fun level. And easy to do quickly too if you know your shit or take ages if you want to explore and poke at things.


Hitman is pretty good. I just wish IO did more custom hits other then the limited time, 1 shot ones. The escalations are too repetitive IMO.

Also I hope by the end all the levels get a bonus episode set up. That's what I have wanted since Paris.

This is me eating crow.

I still don't think he's leaving/going to NYC.
But now I can't figure out what else would be so hush hush

Unless now I'm being double played.

 

[EdReedFan20]

I hope each week they have to come up with the episode title live. That was sort of neat to see that. Now they need to go back and retroactively add titles to episodes 1-439.

now that the archives are up and for those who missed it earlier:

bombcast thread

Vice seems a great fit for Pat, he could really lean in to those activist stories.

However, he just got a mortgage. If there is any time he could be lured to the dark side of game dev it is now.

Edit: Just saw that he says he is staying in journalism.

As an aside. A certain reddit community is having a wonderful existential crisis right now. They hate Kotaku (clue is in the name) and want to crow about them losing a writer but they also hate Patrick. They can't decided if this is a good thing or a bad thing for Kotaku or Patrick - and fear it might be good for both. Hilarious.

Jokes on them I was trying to download it directly from the site.

But it looks like it works now.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

They're naming the episodes now? After 400+ episodes? That'll probably annoy some people.

Also, my creepy Dan prediction: secret wedding.

 

[Kyari]

I can't keep track at this point. Is Dan leaving or not?

Is Dan is leaving the new Brad is leaving?

 

[MassiveNights]

Dan is saying he has already answered the question when he started his AMA but I'll be fucked if I can be bothered figuring out what he's talking about.

KiA is just a sad place.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Dan keeps saying he put the answer out there "an hour ago". I'm looking despite the possibility he's making a fool of me.

 

[robotrock]

It's NYC.

He posted a picture of a Letterman hat and they shot that in NYC.

He posted that about an hour ago I think

Fuck, Boxes figured it out.

Whelp, that's that I guess. The lack of RV road trip makes me think it's permanent, too.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

pour one out for the west coast crew's content output, y'all

13 cents, leaving on the 13th? (a saturday)

[kai3345]

he said he even gave it a date: 8/25

 

[Karspankey]

Well, that solves that. The David Letterman hat is probably another hint then!

 

[Mister Negative]

When he said that I tried to make something out of his AMA message, I never even looked twice at that pic.

Great find.

Well that sucks..

Fuck. How much money is on the table? is that the date hes going?

You stole that from the guy who posted on the GB forums didn't you. Admit it

Could be nothing but if you look at the amiibo by his laptop in his AMA tweet, and the order they are in, they are (G)anondorf, (B)owser, (N)ess, (Y)oshi, (C)aptain Falcon. Giant Bomb New York City? Could just be going insane though.

 

[BearPawB]

I officially bow my head to massive.
I was wrong! Oh so wrong!
So wrong, so many times.

I will never be right about anything again.
