Eh, doesn't matter if he didn't mean bad, it is bad.

Which is actually why I'm impressed by Ryan immediately apologising after the F outburst. He definitely didn't mean anything bad for gay people but knew that it's a word that really stigmatises them.

Also would new hires be new-thread worthy?

I suppose so but we will get "lol journalism" posts though.

Yeah, it's weird how certain words can just sour you to people so quickly. Years ago someone from GB (Ryan I think) guested on the ComicVine podcast so I gave it a listen. Half way through Sara just casually dropped 'retard' and it immediately put me off all future shared/crossover content with her.

People make mistakes, but I totally understand why it would put you off. It is the continued use that would bother me (if there is any).
 
I bet Dan is insisting his live stream introduction is held off until 1pm tomorrow so it clashes with the USA vs Belgium game. He's putting a line in the sand and he wants people to choose.

He did! Brad is saved. For now. Until they have some other ridiculous compendium element for him to chase with dolla bills. =X

Oh, but next time he does buy something insane, they need to stream it and have Jeff be present. Because last time was amazing.

There are always Arcanas.

Giant Bombcast 07/01/2014

Brad returns from vacation to discuss his handheld travel adventures while Jeff and Drew wax poetic about the news of the week, shooting Nazis in their privates, buying Japanese PSN games, and your emails. This week: Why can't Jeff stop playing Marvel Heroes? It's not that good of a game! Oh, also we hired two people and they're on this week's show to introduce themselves. So check that out!

So in his review, Patrick says that Shovel Knight is "an especially easy game by classic standards" and that he breezed right through it. Then on Bombin', he agrees with Alex that the game's difficulty is really well-balanced (Alex says it's a Megaman 2/3 style of hard), and that the checkpoints are placed just far enough that you start to sweat about it when one hasn't shown up.

Make up your mind, yo!

"Easy game by classic standards" is "well-balanced for modern standards".

If you want to talk about "not making up your mind", how about putting MM2 and 3 on the same level of difficulty? MM2 is a cakewalk compared to MM3.
