In somewhat less fortunate news it looks like The Technomancer is as much of a janky mess as its predecessor. Bummer, I was hoping it was good.

It's probably fairly accurate near the top. I wouldn't use it to try and prove a site ranked 2500th is more popular than a site ranked 3000th (or 100th vs 150th), but I think it's pretty safe to say that at 173 and 4436 CNET and GB are not really in the same ballpark as far as popularity goes. And the further down you go the more apparent its flaws become (like that 20 million rank drop for videogames.com).
Also these suggestions on another site are hilarious:

I suspect I'll end up just spoiling what the things about Inside are on YouTube because slow-ass puzzle platformers basically do nothing for me.

It sounds like the game's length is short enough where you could play for ~90 minutes, get a good feel for what it's offering, and still be able to return it on Steam if it does nothing for you (assuming you're playing on PC).
How much do they show inside the quick look?

I might just get Inside just to see what ever is jazzing about.

I think Patrick was the only one to ever play any of the Zero Escape games.

Inside looks kinda boring?
I'm not sure why its getting such high review scores.

I wonder how hard pressed Brad will be to find 10 better games than Inside this year.
Watching 16 minutes of the game is probably not gonna tell you much about why it's getting high review scores!

Maybe read the reviews?
You're right, but to me at least it made a fantastic impression. Granted you're mileage with Limbo will probably have an impact on how much you enjoy this game.
Brad's review is definitely worth a read folks. It's way more expressive than the Quick Look, which fits this kind of game.

Oh yeah, reading the review and watching the QL it very much seems like a refined, much deeper and complex Limbo. So if you didn't like Limbo I would guess you won't like Inside either.
I liked Limbo and this looks amaaaaaaaaaaaaazing!
That must be it.
Kind of want to watch that Inside QL, but I don't want to see much more of that game either since I plan on picking it up.
Any reason why Jeff never went to Max? I find that stuff even better than the classic stuff.

same reason I wouldn't switch from diet coke to coke zero, I suppose.
They only show the very early bits - the bit where it looks like just another Limbo.
This is good in that it doesn't spoil anything.
Not so good in selling people who were not sure if they should buy it though.
I would have liked them to, after giving the repeated advice that ppl go play it for themselves, skip ahead and show off some of the later stuff that prompted all the rave reviews it is getting.
I am sure he tried it. He seems to try every soda. Obviously didn't like it. If taste were not subjective they wouldn't need multiple versions of coke and pepsi - everyone would agree on the best and just buy that one.

Industrial farming does seem mean.

I've read some of them.
Just doesn't sound like my cup of tea.
I am curious to hear Brad talk more about it on the bombcast.
Nothing is going to persuade you if you don't like the premise, gameplay and/or genre.

Glad Brad liked the game! I'm looking forward to hearing his thoughts on the Bombcast.

Max is the best!
Yeah me too. I don't think I'll be getting it with all the bad reviews.
On the other hand, man I hope Inside comes to PS4. I need to see what this game is all about these reviews are rapturous.
Anyone know if it's a time exclusivity deal? Limbo came to everything so should we expect the same from this game?

I think their wording was that it was timed exclusive? No idea for how long.

Since I haven't seen the video I can't talk to exactly what might have been brought up, but if you don't like it or are worried about it, you should definitely try to buy local or straight from the farmers themselves.
A good chunk of what people might consider "industrial farms" are actually still family owned, We're not talking the giant farms, but the moderate sizes that have maybe one or two silos and a large barn or pen area for the cattle (Chickens are a whole different matter that I don't have experience with). Larger brands buy from these smaller farms to help meet need, and in today's market, most people just want the meat to be available. Dairy can be the same thing. So not everything that comes from a large brand might be an industrial farm.
Where I grew up, there were twice as many heads of cattle per capita than people.

So many perfect score reviews this year from our cynical friends at the giant bomb dot com.

They've reached a new pinnacle of cynicism where everything is so terrible that the new baseline of quality means everything is great.
Really really cool video from a GB fan who made a steel logo of GB. Via Dave's Twitter

Not sure I'm a huge fan of the paint distressing but other than that it's a really fucking cool video.
