Imagine his meeting with the Bobs.
"What would you say you do here?"
"I am good about checking sources! I'm a source checker! Want to see my Never Jump To Conclusions Mat? There are different conclusions that you shouldn't jump to if you want to be a journalist."
Get right out with the 1 UP Yours. Garnett's such a clown.

We have Adam Boyes debating with scoops on the term "Console" Exclusivity.
Matt Kessler is scared of Bananas and Dave picking on him.
Dan made a new friend in Doritos.

Also what idiot listens to the bombcast!?

Honestly, I wouldn't mind it if they would stop doing these news posts everyday. It really doesn't add anything to the site for me. I am interested what in they think about gaming news, but with the morning show and the Bombcast they have enough avenues to get their opinions across. I don't really need it in writing, also.
That would also free up Alex to do more stuff with Vinny and Patrick to do more videos, longer articles and interviews. For example, I really liked the interview that Patrick did with the creative director of Wolfenstein.

Why Bomin' is No Longer On The 'Upcoming' List, And 5 Other Reasons We Are Concerned For Patrick
how? I didn't start playing PC games till this year but I've been listening to old episodes of GFW for years.
If you love the bombcast and haven't listened to GFW than you should give it a shot. It's so good.
It's a hit, I hear.

Divinity seems like a really daunting game to quick look. There's so much to it and you can go long stretches with exploring a city and talking to people and little to no action.

Be prepared for a three hour QL of them wandering around in Cyseal with a handful of failed battles against higher-level Undead.
I am prepared for this.
Chat will be their delayed guide to the game.
Yet, browsing NeoGAF on a midday Thursday suggests otherwise...
Yeah, it's a weird term that's really starting to show its age. I imagine it's of some significance at the beginning of a console cycle, but with the industry changing so much, as well as the definition of 'console' to the audience at large, it's becoming irrelevant. We have PC's becoming so accessible and 'consolified' (could get even bigger if the Steam OS/box makes an impact) and mobile/tablets doing serious damage. For a game like Grim Fandango, its most popular 'console' may end up being mobile (we all know the port's coming).
I would like to see MS/Sony say fuck it and just slap "Not on Playstation"/"Not on Xbox" instead. More mainstream journalists (not Gamasutra insider-y sites) should do more to spotlight marketing fluff to consumers.
For once, one of your Patrick posts is realistically worrying.
What metacritic rating do you think the game you're currently consulting on will receive?

I'm sorry?
So, completely unrelated, do EA pay their invoices in a timely fashion?
That's what I keep saying to my boss...

I think the most exciting Patrick related news this week is that he twitter-invited Brain Altano onto Bombing the AM. My Giant Bomb/Comedy Button crossover dreams are coming true!

Pantsu sniffing Brad:
I can't decide if this has ruined my day, week or entire life.
If this is a reference to me, sir, I'll have you know that I smell like salami.
I'll go back to my own thread now.
Haha
Man salami is so good. I knew I liked you for a reason. EDIT: I mean Man, salami and not man salami
You are the world's greatest monster.
All of the above.
Edit: @Jabee Without going into too much detail I actually agree with Patrick's general stance in regards to the XBone dev unit story. However the Grim Fandango one I felt was reaching. It is less of an issue in my mind because the terminology being used was accurate.
His first article implores news writers to wait for the prepared company line from Phil Spencer before writing a news story about Microsoft. It's almost as if Patrick is saying to wait for an official press release before reporting on anything.
His next story was about the deceptiveness of the phrase "console exclusive" framed around Grim Fandango being announced for PC, Mac, Linux even when it was clear in the presentation that it would be on PC. It may have been confusing if you never watched a press conference from one of the big three before. Not only that, but the head of Double Fine was imploring people during the press conference that it would be coming to PC as well.
Things are getting weird.
His time here is almost over. Let him rest. It's his Golden Years now.
No the better quote from Dan is "So was D&D videogame first or the dice thing first?" lol
