Guys I'm freaking out. Rorie just doesn't listen and is constantly talking over peeps. Like, ok, I can understand that plenty of folks enjoy that but man I feel terrible even feeling as irritated by his behaviour as I am.

You're not alone. I like his solo streams but I have stopped watching so many GB videos solely becuase of him

I liked when he asked Ben what he was playing on the Breaking Brad stream and then immediately interrupted him because he just wanted an in to talk about Horizon. I see you, Rorie!

Eh. Rorie does a good job of moving things along (asking about the game) when he's bored. Better than dead air IMO

That's strange. Why do you care if Brad, Ben or Jason get talked over?

 

[Hydranockz]

I get that but I would much rather dead air broken up with naturally occurring conversations than constant forced dialogue.

Edit: Apologies guys, I don't want to sour the mood here. Needed a quick vent.

Really digging the parallax dust particles on Dead Cells.

 

[KingKong]

Rorie is definitely the one with the most skeletons in his closet (and I mean literal skeletons)

 

[Erekiddo]

Fucking repeat emails!

That spider in the hair email was on the bombcast awhile ago.

To save me from potentially having to start from when I sent this in, anyone have any idea when this discussion occurred on the Bombcast?

Nah he's been like that a lot lately. And he just rambles and doesn't even finish a coherent thought. It's getting kind of annoying.

 

[DanLongman]

Rorie is great.

Jason though....

 

[PizzaFace]

You're not alone. I like his solo streams but I have stopped watching so many GB videos solely becuase of him

You're not alone. I've skipped a lot of content recently because of him.

 

[MassiveNights]

Crazy Rorie makes content better. It would be so, so boring without him sometimes.

 

[Giganteus]

The guy who mostly does backend work and has to host UPF this one fucking day will go away again, guys. It'll be okay. I promise.

 

[kingocfs]

*complains about something*

 

[Twin Tails]

David should host UPF

 

[Jintor]

yeah i'm with brad on this 'man wish this wasn't a roguelike' thing

looks okay tho

 

[Piston Hyundai]

The guy who mostly does backend work and has to host UPF this one fucking day will go away again, guys. It'll be okay. I promise.

this is far from the only UPF where Rorie dominates the discussion

 

[Ashby]

this is far from the only UPF where Rorie dominates the discussion

What do you envision the discussion would be if Rorie wasn't there

 

[Dineren]

Rorie has been great this week.

 

[Data West]

There might have been a time Deadcell would have been very appealing to me

but that was before indie developers pummeled my interest in roguelikes into the dirt

 

[Piston Hyundai]

What do you envision the discussion would be if Rorie wasn't there

not complaining, just making a point

but to answer your question

 

[Archaix]

this is far from the only UPF where Rorie dominates the discussion

I'm sure you're completely devastated that he's ruining your favorite two hours of the week.

 

[BearPawB]

Rorie is the only one that talks so yeah, hes gonna dominate conversations

 

[Ashby]

not complaining, just making a point

but to answer your question

Not enough technical issues.

 

[Giganteus]

this is far from the only UPF where Rorie dominates the discussion

He's far from the only one who has done that in past content, at times, and it was never worth mentioning. Not everything is worth criticizing or pointing out, IMO, but whatever, it's a forum.

 

[def sim]

Rorie is only dominating conversations because he's a talkative dude relative to the rest. I'd rather have this than dead air.

Ben Pack is certainly trying to get conversations going, though.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Did Rorie just say "umbilical coil"?

 

[wenis]

I'm sure you're completely devastated that he's ruining your favorite two hours of the week.

careful with the burns. not enough ointment to go around.

 

[DanLongman]

Seriously lay off Rorie. Remember when we bought him that fridge. Rorie works so hard for GB and puts up with so much shit. He's pretty great. <3

 

[MassiveNights]

What do you envision the discussion would be if Rorie wasn't there

Jason: "My kid did something"

Brad: "..."

Ben: "Hey I have a question from the chat"

Brad: "..."

Rorie is the best

 

[wenis]

Seriously lay off Rorie. Remember when we bought him that fridge. Rorie works so hard for GB and puts up with so much shit. He's pretty great. <3

he certainly does.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

is it really complaining or criticism to point out that Rorie is one of the constants of UPF even when he isn't hosting and that it's dumb to say that he'll "go away"

 

[Hydranockz]

Seriously lay off Rorie. Remember when we bought him that fridge. Rorie works so hard for GB and puts up with so much shit. He's pretty great. <3

Lay off Rorie? People are annoyed, sure, but no one is insulting him. I mean, he practically vocalises how self conscious he feels on these streams. I feel sorry that the West Coast crew are in the situation they are in where Rorie feels he has to put himself out there for the good of the content. To be clear, that takes guts and I'm glad he is there.

 

[Data West]

yall seem to defend rorie a lot more than jason

 

[chogidogs]

Rorie is gonna beat Bloodborne before the Black Dragon. How the mighty have fallen...

 

[MassiveNights]

yall seem to defend rorie a lot more than jason

No shit

 

[Ashby]

yall seem to defend rorie a lot more than jason

That's because I like Rorie and don't like Jason. Other people can feel differently.

 

[Harpuia]

Jumped on to see what the hubbub is about and it's not that bad. Rorie is ok. Sometimes he's kind of annoying but he's generally good and has some of the more interesting points to make in discussion.


I'm seeing Jason hate too? Y'all are the worst.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Im going to fight every single person here

 

[Data West]

That's because I like Rorie and don't like Jason. Other people can feel differently.

i dont ever tell people to lay off jason or have shitty remarks like i'm sure you're devestated that jason's ruining your favorite 2 hours of the week. the people reacting to people showing criticism in this thread are almost always worse than the people making the criticism outside of the 'what does brad do' crowd.

 

[Teddified]

hahaha gg rorie

I like all my GB dads

 

[mintyice]

Spoiler

They are both bad.

 

[BearPawB]

No i feel pretty good about saying the people that continuously bitch are the worst

 

[MassiveNights]

What does Brad do though?

 

[def sim]

bloodborne is p easy

let's fight goddamnit

 

[Data West]

wait a minute this was an anime game all along

 

[Hydranockz]

No i feel pretty good about saying the people that continuously bitch are the worst

If that's all you can see from what I've said, I do apologise.

 

[BearPawB]

bloodborne is p easy

let's fight goddamnit

I am not good at games and i've beat all the souls games.

their difficulty is overrated

 

[Giganteus]

is it really complaining or criticism to point out that Rorie is one of the constants of UPF even when he isn't hosting and that it's dumb to say that he'll "go away"

Yes. And I'm referring to him being so prominant today as the host. He'll obviously not go away from UPF or occasional content.

Edit: Don't lump me in with anyone who doesn't want criticism here. I'm for it, but I just disagree this time.

 

[MassiveNights]

A lot of people working themselves into a shoot tonight
