No Trials?

 

[Jintor]

Lantern Run: 3, Giant Bomb: 0

 

[Dany]

this sounds like the best video feature in awhile. I can't wait to watch it when uploaded!

 

[Megasoum]

So I guess Brad really is leaving now? lol

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Ryan's fired, Patrick is gonna quit, Will will go on to star in some more mediocre movies and Brad will be alone, playing Trials.

 

[Hot Coldman]

That may have been the greatest thing they've ever done.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

i guess brad is leaving after all.

 

[Zaph]

That ragequit was just the icing on the cake. Definitely going to be a couple HR meetings come Monday morning.

 

[StopMakingSense]

Ryan's fired, Patrick is gonna quit, Will will go on to star in some more mediocre movies and Brad will be alone, playing Trials.

No Brad's leaving.

 

[Rapstah]

It will all end in the way no one anticipated: everyone else will leave.

 

[Patryn]

I didn't think it was particularly bad either. In a moment of pure frustration, bad words come out. Perfectly fine.
Besides, that moment was god damn hilarious and Ryan apologized straight away.

The only thing I think we might have to worry about, and I think Brad's voice betrayed this fact, is whether what he did was verboten by CBSi standards.

If it was Whiskey, whatever, he said it, apologized, let's move on. But it's not unreasonable to suspect he may face discipline now (though I doubt he'd be fired... right?)

 

[shadyspace]

I don't like Ryan for his attitude but an accidental slip of the tongue is the last thing people should be up in arms about.

 

[firehawk12]

Hahaha, that ending. So much salt.

Brad REALLY needs to play "I Wanna Be the Boshy". PLEEEEEASE.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Did I miss why they aren't streaming Trials there?

 

[MiniBossBattle]

Lanterns brought Will back to the BombCrew, broke Brad, almost got Ryan in hot water and made Patrick hate Will.



I can't wait for the next Lantern Run.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Ryan's fired, Patrick is gonna quit, Will will go on to star in some more mediocre movies and Brad will be alone, playing Trials.

Ironic that Brad is the only one NOT leaving Giant Bomb.

 

[derFeef]

Did I miss why they aren't streaming Trials there?

They are boring people :-/

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Did I miss why they aren't streaming Trials there?

everyone was still shouting around and swearing. you could hear it in the background.

It was funny how Drew just came on 'Hi Brad. It's Drew. I'm going to turn off the stream now.' Haha

 

[Brewster's Wallet]

Did I miss why they aren't streaming Trials there?

End of the working day. And Drew probably has to put the thing in to encode for the site before he leaves for the day.

 

[Patryn]

I will be very curious to see when and even if this Lantern Run ever gets archived on the site. And what that archive will look like.

I hope it gets archived, because that was fucking hilarious.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

They are boring people :-/

Sucky end. I don't mean the faggot thing, that's no biggy. Brad just rage quit abruptly and then Trials is flashed for a second and zip, stream gone.

Shame. It was great when it lasted, at least.

I didn't hear that, haha.

 

[drizzle]

"Siri is a worthless bitch. And I would've called it a bitch regardless of the gender" is ok, but "oh god fucking dammit, noooooo, come back here you fucking faggot" is unacceptable? Vinny saying Cunt on the Podcast is no biggie either?

So I guess demeaning words towards woman are ok. But oh, not the gays!

People are funny.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

It will be up on Monday is my guess. Likely missing the F word and the ending.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I think it was the perfect end.

A symbol of their misery.

 

[Patryn]

I will say... give it time for the wounds to heal.... but we really do need Lantern Run IV: The Revenge.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Great show. Very funny all the way through.

 

[CB3]

Brad turned heel. That was amazing.

 

[ArjanN]

That was entertaining, but of course you're never going to beat it if you give up so easily.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I'm guessing they will bleep it. He sincerely apologized almost the second it slipped, even with Brad nervously laughing and saying you are so fired over and over again.

 

[megalowho]

So salty, the whole lot of 'em. Great show!

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I think it was the perfect end.

Haha, true, just not the best way to end a stream for the viewer.

I hope they don't edit the archived version. GB audience is smart enough to realise Ryan just said something dumb in the heat of the moment. It would suck if they do edit it. Plus it was fucking funny and I want to hear it again.

 

[inky]

So this game destroyed Giant Bomb. Great.

 

[Crag Dweller]

I love Giant Bomb.

 

[Kazuma Kiryu]

It will be up on Monday is my guess. Likely missing the F word and the ending.

man, i really hope they don't cut the ending.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

So many people in the chat saying that this might be the end of GB as we know it, Ryan will be fired, etc etc.

What a bunch of idiots.

 

[derFeef]

That was fantastic, everything!
3am - perfect weekend dive.

 

[smr00]

Too many butthurt politically correct sheltered kids.

 

[ZenaxPure]

Makes me sad I am not a premium member anymore haha, would of loved to see this.

What a bunch of idiots.

They are clearly joking as much as everyone else here is.

 

[Kabuki Quantum Lover]

That was the best ending since the Endurance Test.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Some, not all. Did you see some of the things they said? No hint of sarcasm or irony.

 

[Antiwhippy]

It's the giantbomb chat.

You might be giving them too much credit.

 

[shadyspace]

A lot of people are calling for his head, man.

 

[inky]

I was being serious. I don't know if you know anything about the internet culture (I'm an expert)... basically Ryan better apologizes or he can kiss Giant Bomb goodbye.

they lose ryan and jeff will follow.

GB will be dead, they won't do SHIT.

 

[Patryn]

Honestly, the only fallout will likely be that he may not be around as much next week while he goes to various additional HR sensitivity training sessions at worst.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I'm waiting for the GAF topic to be made.

"Giant Bomb Editor in "faggot" outburst"

Edit: Oh God, people are seriously saying he might be fired here too? Lord...

 

[Dany]

He is.

People are funny.

All has to do with context. Ryan calling Siri a bitch? Sort of stupid by him, sure, but the word is a negative slur used against mostly females and he used it to refer to software that speaks with a woman's voice. Vinny's "cunt" doesn't even compare in that context because he was literally using it to refer to vaginas.

Ryan using "fucking faggot" to refer to a tentacle monster, in that case the slur has nothing to do with what he's trying to insult. He's using some implied negative connections to the insult to bring the monster down. Of course he was really mad and frustrated when he said it - not that homophobic slurs being what come out when he gets really mad somehow reflects well on his character. I don't think there's a double standard for people getting upset about this slur and not the others, though. Neither do I think people are noting this on GAF because GAF traditionally has stronger norms about those kinds of slurs than others.

He did apologise a lot in different ways imemdiately afterwards and he's probably going to get a lot of shit about it from both fans and maybe CBSi, so this'll probably be evened out in the end anyway. If any parts of this post don't make any sense whatsoever it's because I stayed up until three in the morning watching this damn lantern run.

He did like 1000000000 times a millisecond after it. And man, there was a lot of other sweairng. It sure is a bad word, but he was not using it in a harming manner or something.
I do not take offense for sure.
