I enjoyed it a lot on early access, it's just that i played too much of it and didn't have the appetite for it anymore once it's released

Thinks for mentioning Dont Starve tho, I might go back to it since I'm binging Supernatural, and having a small game thats kinda mindless like that on the side is what I'm looking for..

I'd be interested to go back to Don't Starve now actually. I really enjoyed it when it was first released so it'd be cool to see what its become.

Alex talking shit about Screwed 
I like that movie. Dave Chappelle and a creepy Danny DeVito before he was crazy Frank Reynolds. Movie's pretty good.

I don't think our speculation was bad, or harmful, like I've seen some on twitter say.
I do think it's good Jeff shut it down, rip off the bandaid and all.

I kind of had a secret hope that Danny, Mary, Drew and Dan would somehow end up breaking off and starting their own site. They always seemed to have the best chemistry together and all seemed to have a big desire and always wanted to try new stuff content wise.
Never thought it'd actually happen but for some reason always kind of wanted it to happen?

yeah but stuff like having no actual sleeping areas that didn't degrade really stressed me out, or the fact I couldn't browse the in-game menus (crafting etc) so couldn't really plan out my day without time ticking forward. A bit too stressful for my liking. Not to mention combat was real garbage.

I mean you can't intentionally wind up your fanbase with Street Fighter contests and segments about staff moving and not expect there to be speculation when staff move.

It also didnt help having Jeff in the background in that E3 video obviously whispering "hire Danny" over and over again.
You don't like Norm?

I dont think Norm would necessarily have the personality to hang with the guys quite so much but to be honest, anything linking back to the Whiskey Media days I would lap up so I'm all for it lol
(I wasn't serious about the Norm thing. The real hire will be Karen Snider).
Not particularly, I never really bought him and Will as a cohosts - their chemistry was pretty awful.

I don't know if it's actually Vinny, but Jeff has talked about Gamespot covering a WWE event where they scanned everybody in attendance to potentially be in the game.

I just stopped following Gary after one of his many twitter plea's to get free stuff

There was definitely a period during the Whiskey era where I was looking forward to This is Only a Test more than the Bombcast each week.
yeah i can't say his twitter is very good
i miss a bunch of dads though. jeff green the goat
And him sucking up to whoever he was writing something for. Remember when he deleted all his negative Star wars posts on GAF when he got that writing gig?
I mean I just separated out all my suss tweets into a separate twitter account since i'm on a job hunt so i'm in position to criticise.
It really irks me that Alex and Pat go "yes, Sean was very vague and dodgy about the game, but you shouldn't have believed him"
Yes, you should never believe developers and publishers pimping their game; but lets be clear here- there's one side that is clearly at fault here, and it's not the side whose largest sin was to take what something said at face value.

You're probably using an Android phone or something shady like that.
Yup. I think I said it before in here, the story isn't bad it just seems to end after act 2 when there is clearly still act 3 to come in which we get down to the real shit.
were you being snarky about something? sometimes people take it the wrong way. i've blocked people for that before. i recently purged my block list. starting fresh again.
The game itself is great and definitely the best Deus Ex had played but the story is completely unengaging and there isn't a single good new character. Sure they had to change the ending for the sequel but it wouldn't have been good either way
you gotta get past the prologue.

Woof, Federation Force looks not good. Why did they make this?

You just made me check him out since it became apparent new Tested was awful (so about 24 hours into its post-Whiskey life) and I'm surprised to see he's just got married. I thought he was gay for some reason.
Wonder if Tested is still fun for him, especially with Will moving on to bigger, better and more exciting things.
When you realise you're taking too long or the police station mission.
I think the police station mission is the peak of level design in HR. Choices galore that fulfill the four pillars design and verticality throughout the station.

I really hope, like when they hired Austin, they hire outside of their direct video game friend pool. I would love someone young and fresh, and hopefully someone who doesn't leave for bigger things immediately. I don't think I can take people regularly leaving my favorite website.

Tested is such a bummer these days.They just have no focus, and Adam Savage is unbearable. Everything on the site just feels so self-indulgent.
Will, on the other hand, is doing a live FOO Show interview with the Quadrilateral Cowboy guy INSIDE THE GAME. I can't for that stuff to start putting out content, it's one of my favorite VR things.

I think Austin proved what a waste of time the theorizing about the new hire actually is.
Jeff has a good eye for talent, and who will fit the vibe of the site.
he seems to be enjoying it last i checked. altho i no longer listen to the podcasts or check the site after Will left. Will was the main draw for me. Norm is a great gear reviewer but he needed someone like Will to have discussions with since they tend to have great banter.
also yea, i was pretty shocked when he said he got married. dude never even talked about having a GF before or maybe i just never paid attention.

Nitpick, you can be gay and get married. Though even adding "to a woman" still makes it a weird sentence to put in public.
Woot, 4 days week-end starts now.
Go F1 2016 and DXMD alllllll daaaayyyy
Oh I'm sure I was snarky lol but then again, like many people said in here, his constant pandering toward some people and his constant using of his follower numbers to get free shit really really bugged me.
Cara Ellison also blocked me for being snarky lol... The only time I ever mentionned her in a tweet (I never even followed her) she blocked me haha
