Motherfuckers just better remember to put my GB Animations in the first post this time. I need my YouTube view money or i've got to sell my boat!

No, but I remember "obstensively."
There was another word somewhere that was continually being misprounounced. What was it...?
Not executable.

Emblematic and endemic fused into emblemic.

As far as overused words go, look no further than the GiantBomb Staff Word of the Generation: "Gross"
Wait. Is that meant to say PS extreme St. Haha oh Patrick.
Surely that honour goes to 'janky'. The word basically defined the first few years of Giant Bomb.

I'm not sure, either way is equally funny.
It sounds like a medical term

I wonder who it was... (Danganronpa spoilers)Probably Chihiro
I marathoned through DR these past two days so I'm kind of excited/curious if he'll discuss it on his shows after he finishes the game.

Weird. He doesn't play carries very often does he? Never seen him play terrorblade before either. Haha.

He did play Terrorblade that one time,
The big one
Problem is that, like you said, he doesn't play with it in most cases, Jeff asked that question and mocked it in a bombcast

Dracula does look ridiculously small compared to his environments now that someone has pointed it out.

Yeah. Thats what I though. Haha.
Oh well, good on him for supporting a game he loves.
Nah man, it's P. Sextremest
FFVII adult scenes so extreme, they're SEXTREME
The P is for Patrick... or Playstation. Maybe Both.

Didn't Arkham Origins(?) also have some issue with scaling? Like Batman looked hilariously small when standing next to a car.

i have a really weird/messed up confession to make...
i really like giantbomb and the guys, and through osmosis i've converted my friends and little brother into following them. they have a natural charm of bringing in people unlike any other guys in video game coverage.
the one thing i didn't expect is that my 9 yr old nephew (since he's always been around when i showed people GB clips) has also really liked them.
maybe its just an impressionable little kid just liking stuff that guys that he knows finds funny or not.
either way he LOVES watching giantbomb, if he likes a game he always asks "did giantbomb play it?".
he's a big fan of vinny and jeff, (he's deep enough that he knows their voices and stuff) and a REALLY big fan of ryan (because of tnt/UPF).
i know that giantbomb isn't really appropriate for kids that young, but outside of the language their content is really universal, just so funny and entertaining, even for people who aren't into videogames.
he loves littlebigplanet and minecraft and others, and enjoys GB playing games like that as well as stuff like gangbeasts and nidhogg/windjammers (he's just as entertained by WJ/nidhogg stuff as i am!)
anyways for a lot of the later videos, my nephew always asks "where is ryan? why doesn't he play games like giantbomb does".
since he's so young, i don't have the heart to tell him, and i just say "ryan just wasn't there that day when they played it" and he believes it.
either way, this post is about saying how incredibly charming and likeable the GB guys are, they just have the "it" factor that no other guys in videogame press do not.
and to say (not like anyone hasn't before) that i really fucking miss ryan and not just me, that other people that i've showed GB to.
its a testament to how great the guys at giantbomb are, you guys are just really good at just really being you.

There's a pretty comprehensive list on the GB forums. It's surprisingly reasonable to license for student/home productions.

Counterpoint: Crispy is fucking awesome and not annoying at all! Glad they gor Refleksy in there semi-regularly now, always like him when he's playing with PyrionFlax.
Yeah, that was really emblematic of his vocabulary.

Yes it does.
What kind of game developer and environment artist looks at this end result and goes "yup, looks fine, ship it!"On the subject of scaling, here's the lighthouse near Stormwind in World of Warcraft:
No one can be that inept, so the only explanation is that they're not allowed to fix it and cry themselves to sleep at night.
Oh wow. Found out Screened is closing pretty soon. Makes sense after both Rorie and Alex left.

Damn.. As soon as you mentioned your little nephew I knew where this post was going and it still broke my heart..
If it was me I would probably pull a Santa Claus and tell him that Ryan left to focus on his personal life after getting married. I really hate lying to children like that, but the questions isn't going to go away and I don't think I could personally handle telling the truth to someone that young..

Tell him that Ryan went off to college. Thats how kid shows usually handle it.

I was far too old when I finally realized that Steve from Blue's Clues didn't really leave to go to college.
