So Dave is now actively trying to put Giant Bomb out of business?
Next he's going to make his own alternative to the post office.

"Hey Large Business Man?"
If I were still making a lot of smaller independent themed websites, I'd buy into this.
Sadly, I don't really have a need for it anymore.
Yeah, at some point you have to take more initiative. But it is true that they're ridiculously undermanned right now.

So how long before a big company buys WebHook and all the top men leave to start another upstart?
I think they are on a ~3 year cycle?
I think they are on a ~3 year cycle?
I mean, just look at the new releases tab on the site. Plenty of stuff they could be doing quick looks off, and I feel like in the past they would have.
I'm in the same boat and chipped in. Least I could do for Dave who has entertained me and was very nice the few times I called in during the Whiskey Media days.

Though probably without the 10-figure net worth.

Man I wish they had more then 10 of the $192 pleges that is a FANTASTIC DEAL. (that is why its so limited duh 
).
).They are site builders. It's like those space jockeys in Prometheus, create life and move on.

They should probably change that logo before Westinghouse notices.
wait a minute small businessman doesn't know what the internet is let alone what kickstarter is
He must have heard about it at the post office.
I went for the 5 dollars "Duder" option.

Dave's resume is kinda crazy. He could work anywhere with that track record
The magic is ruined.

This is a weird and only semi-related question but does anyone know if Dave has ever talked about how he got started with web design? Where/if he went to school, what he started out building, etc. I'd like to hear about that stuff.
Dave to use kickstarter money to buy the Post Office

Squarespace is cancelling their promotion with giantbomb based on this tweet by small business man.
He has a few times, but I can't remember specifically where.
Basically goes like this: Dropped out of college (partially because of Quake), started building Flash websites, brought along to company meetings because he was "that kid who knows about the internet", won a couple 'Flash website of the day" awards. Basically he completely capitalised on that moment in time when websites and the internet were like voodoo magic to most companies. Not really anything there that's relevant today.

Though honestly being able to build your own custom CMS is pretty cool. I don't think squarespace does that right?

One of the stretch goal should be a new Random PC Game vid with Dave.

Rami Ismail was one of the best bombin guest so far. Anyone want to comment on the controller support in Nuclear Throne? I want to grab it to support the guy if it works well

Man, Dave's credentials ARE hardcore.
But he chose THE WORST WAY TO SAY THIS.
Patrick, baby PLEASE don't frame this like any interest and respectful critique (or hilarious gifs) isn't any better than fanboy meltdowns, epeen waving, or spin. It just doesn't look like the someone wanting to stay out of the fray that you are.

It's this one I believe, Jeff has the 60 inch and I think Brad has the 50 inch.

Is that the one Jeff isn't too happy about?
I have a 55 inch Panny Plasma. It's pretty damn awesome man.
His issues with it are about the dithering, which you would only notice on a plasma if you sit really close to it..
What did he say?
And Jeff sits really close to his Tv's

Yeah he had issues with it, but overall it's a great TV, the plasma everyone considers to be one of, if not, the best.
