Go read the exchange again, calls him it like four times, It must be on his word-of-the-day calendar. I didn't think the joke needed explaining. You are being pathetic.

I can't understand people who are obsessed with the NPD numbers to such an extent that they want other people to be obsessed with them too.

The other guy calls Jeff pathetic; not the other way around.

I am at work, wanted to just listen without using all that bandwidth on my phone, but I'll be home in an hour.
Thanks anyway

That's exactly what he's saying. And why he wrote "Jeff is pathetic" in his post. Because that dude called Jeff pathetic like 5 times in that twitter exchange.
If that were to happen, I want to have a nerdy podcast between Brad, Rorie, and Tara. Brad was like Computer Sci undergrad for like 1 term, Rorie was a Physics undergrad before jumping to English Lit. And Tara herself is MSc. in Math. I wanna hear them talking about group theory, graph theory, etc.

I feel like if a response on Twitter requires more than one message, it shouldn't be engaged on Twitter. I also can't believe Jeff got baited like this.
Pretty sure it's the music they used for the very early videos, like Coke chugging and testing that weird hotdog maker. Great times.
I have said this before but I don't really want new "on screen personalities".
Just hire video editors etc so Vinny and Drew can be in front of the camera all the time. Jeff, Brad, Vinny, Rorie, Drew as the "main" dudes in San Francisco. With occasional appearances by Danny and Alexis. Patrick and Alex do their own thing with some meets with the main crew at events, GOTY, etc.

Wow, it's crazy how obsessed and PATHETIC you are being over a typical NPD obsessed weirdo ranting at jeff for not chanting or caring about how much the ps4 is crushing the xbox one.

Man, you guys should watch last night's Spookin'. It somehow evolved into a Breaking Patrick and it's hilarious.
I get what you're saying, but they may not feel like that's an effective number of people to produce the amount of daily content they're looking to output. It's definitely not enough for big trade shows like E3.
Adding new voices to the mix, be it writers or on camera personalities, ensures Giant Bomb continues to evolve and grow by bringing in new perspectives and tastes that still fit in with the core values of the site. Not to mention guys like Vinny and Drew are good at production, that's what they're trained to do and probably enjoy doing. Video editing, live production and a/v setup is fun, and just because people like them on camera doesn't mean they (or Rorie and Alexis) should stop working behind the scenes altogether. They're shorthanded as it is when it comes to production, adding new folks while taking away what's currently there doesn't solve that problem.
We just need to have some trust that if the site expands it will be done thoughtfully and with the fanbase in mind. Resisting change is probably not the best outlook to have when change is inevitable, I'd hate for a knee jerk negative reaction to greet whoever does end up getting added to the team because of it.

just as I complain about the lack of focus, they wake up with an excellent pod cast, a jar time, and a bunch of good quicklooks. Hopefully this keeps up for a few months.
Wait, are popo and claudiob03 the same person?...

Pathetic? You guys (and that one gal in the back who wont make eye contact) dont know pathetic!
Pathetic is sprinklering all over your white, Quiet Riot-branded jeans in an outhouse, then blaming it on an incredibly dweeby child with an encyclopedic knowledge of SpongeBob SquarePants. As the dweebs parents beat him with a rattan flyswatter, you feel the kind of self-loathing and shame that only a messy peeer can comprehend. The childs screams about the pee-honor of Patrick Star never fade away
Pathetic is covering an incredibly sexy statue of Nipsy Russell in cream cheese, then tricking a tourist flock of very trusting Cinnabar Boobooks that its the ghost of Manchurian delis. While the birds are busy covering the statue in (Shaq) diesel fuel and slinging the maddest incantation rhymes this side of Dubuque, you steal all of their choice tail feathers, selling them to the highest (on ludes!) Peloponnesian bidder. The Cinnabar Boobooks, unable to fly back home, are enslaved in a helper-monkey racing ring, never to know the taste of happiness, or cream cheese, again
Pathetic is feeling pride in giving a high-five to a wax reproduction of Sir Alec Guinness that you keep in your spare taco closet
Prophetic is saying all that was said before, but saying it with crazy eyes this time
Whats Twitter?

Quality > quantity
So random!! Now try it again but funny this time
That's kind of his shtick. Not that I find it funny either.
Chill. I was just carrying on the joke. Maybe a touch too far. To be fair it isn't the first time I have found something funny and people have looked at me like I am crazy.
I just loved how the dude kept repeating it, like when a toddler learns a new swear and keeps throwing it out in every sentence. Don't really give a toss what he (the troll) was butt hurt about or if Jeff was baited or not.
It is harmless. Reminds me of this guy called DogDavid who used to post on quake message boards. Not only would he make up random meandering stories but he would fill his posts with random images to illustrate. This was in dial-up days and people used to get really upset about the threads he replied to taking 5 minutes to load
I liked how that dude just straight up ignored the part immediately after Jeff saying "NPD, who cares" where they directly addressed Microsoft switching to "shipped" numbers and how bad that looks compared to Sony's sold numbers. I like to imagine that he just whited out for a bit as fanboy rage engulfed his mind.

The most distressing thing about the claudiob03 thing is that his twitter bio is "a father, a gamer".
How anyone can have a child and still harass people on the internet over console sale numbers is beyond me.

Having a kid doesn't mean that you've grown up.
In many cases, it means the exact opposite.

I really don't get why you guys are giving that Twitter post so much attention.
The giant bomb effect.
Any attention the crew gives to something, their fans must give 10x that attention.
Watch Brad and Drew spin like pretty pretty ballerinas

This Bounden QL is soooo romantic~~~~
Yet another quicklook where they should release the raw green screen footage as premium content lol
I did the same today for the long afternoon stretch at work. Their reactions to Microsoft's 180 on the Kinect and DRM last year is still priceless.
I was real sick yesterday. I watched this QL last night fever-adled, exhausted, about to fall asleep, while trying to down some water so I wouldn't perish in the night. When I woke up I thought I had dreamed that this game happened. Just baffling.

They usually rent a place near e3 and have epic hours long livestreams/podcasts for about 3-4 days. It's kinda the best time of the year if youre a GB fan outside of maybe the GOTY stuff.
