Angry children and emotionally stunted adults who lash out at people and things praised or appreciated by the public. They've gone their whole lives unwanted and unloved and now seeing that emotional support given to others is like a white hot knife drawing across their skin. They're bitter lonely shits whose only human interaction comes from their "peer group" of equally lonely pathetic shits.

I figured if the guys pulled 12 hour shifts in the name of a charity they liked, I want them to see that their efforts didn't go unnoticed.

Glad to see Patrick appreciating the fantastic game that ODST is.
If Microsoft had not forced it into being their big fall title, and instead made it be a great value game it'd have been much more fondly received by the masses.
It's so dam good.
It almost felt like they were twisting the knife in Bungie's back as Bungie walked out the door to independence.
But, as the rest of the Bombin' in the A.M. discussed, it was just MS incompetence and silly decision making in in the last few years of the 360.

It was a great game, probably my favorite since Halo 2.
At first I misread the emphasis on the words in your quote and thought Jeff had a Fucking Room like most people have a Living Room and/or Dining Room.
I wouldn't put it past Jeff to have a Fucking Room.
Been re listening to all the bombcasts lately, my 2 favorite running jokes are every time someone sneezes they say they are alergic to whatever they were talking about (I don't know why but it always cracks me up) and "X thing you just said is the name of my new music group/album", I love Jeff's delivery every time.
Also, Ryan was an amazing host
Jeff was also much funnier when he didn't have hosting duties

Nintendo has stupid video embargoes. The Quick Look will be a solo by Jeff and he'll shit on the game because he hates fun.
Me either, which is why it took me so long to realize I misread it.
Hell, I wouldn't put it past Jeff to keep a cup full of loose change in his Fucking Room.

jesus the wolfenstein quick look is an hour and 40 mins

Wait, what? Man, they're really pushing it with the length of quick looks these days. I remember when 30 minute quick looks were the exception. Lately, it's not uncommon for them to be an hour long. But almost 2 hours long?
C'mon, show some restraint, duders. There's nothing you can't show in 30 minutes that required another 70.
It depends on the game, but the primary function of Quick Looks for me is not to be informed, but to be entertained.
You can skip the first 15mins so far. Nothing has happened.

This post has been made every time they make a long quick look for the past 6 years.

I have no issue with their longer video features like UPF or Breaking Bads and things like that. But a quick look for me serves 2 purposes: to inform and to entertain. They don't need a ton of time to inform, so I really hope that that hour and forty minutes is really entertaining, then, because it's looking like a bit much.
Besides that, it's also continuing the recent pattern of bloated quicklooks. As an example, Bound by Flame was over an hour long but it wasn't really entertaining nor was it super informative after the first 30 minutes or so. Their MLB quick looks were, though. So it's a matter of quality over quantity with me, where I don't mind the length so long as it's not just bloat.
One could say that if you get everything you need in the first 30 minutes, you can stop watching there and allow those who enjoy longer content to watch the rest.
One could say.

On that same note, one could say that my criticism isn't unfair or unwarranted. But yeah, i'm aware of that option.
I dunno, I enjoyed Vinny's description of Drew's E3 phases.
Actually, I am complaining on the shortness of many of them.them. Wargame, Waywoard souls, BroForce and Towerfall accession should have been played longer.
True.
A person in your position could also argue that the longer quicklooks are leading to fewer individual pieces of content, because if they spend 1:40 on Wolfenstein, they theoretically could have potentially done two 30 minute quicklooks in the same period (assuming that my math of spending up to 40 minutes getting ready to transition is an accurate guess, which it well may not be).
Honestly, I stand on the viewpoint that I like the hour long quicklooks, but 1:40 seems awfully indulgent.

At least I'll have something to do while waiting for the game to download, then.
I'm halfway through and Vinny's talking about calling it already.

Wolfenstein looks so slow and boring.
The quick look's length is perfect (to watch while waiting for Transistor to release).

I'm... acutally... liking? the QL of Wolfenstein???
Edit: 45mins in
Vinny asks "Want to call it once you're done with this?"
Nope
He rarely speaks

Well, I generally think they've covered the games I'd expect them to cover with QLs so far this year, so I'm not sure if they have that many games to QL right now. And 1:40 does seem a bit much, but I don't have any problems with it. Didn't feel like they dragged this out just to drag it out.
Still a far way off to beat TESO's 4 hour QL

So, key members of the old Escape from Butcher Bay team built a generic FPS (with okayish cutscenes).
I am disappointed. :/

Yep same here. I'm looking forward to it, can't wait for some good old-school shooting action.

I can't tell if Brad just spoiled part of Transistor in the first few minutes of this quick look or not.
EDIT: Okay, probably not. Brad doesn't seem to have finished the game yet.

Wish I didn't watch that Wolfenstein QL. Early spoilers on something that would have been fun to see.

If people really liked Wolfenstein, then I must be definitely jaded. Games like Singularity and Syndicate nailed what I wanted from this kinda game. Unless Brad painted the game in a bad light with his his playstyle during the QL (which the the only video of the game I have viewed), then I do not think this is for me.,
what did he say?

Can't believe Vinny wasn't on board with that nightmare scene in Wolfenstein, that was great
