Society manufactured it man!

No way, it was id.

 

[Arlecchino]

Get out your polysyllables everyone, it's over-analysis time.

So Patrick "Trick" "Scoops" "Tricky" "Klepto" "Picky" Klepek's recent article got me to play Phi, anyone else play this? I feel like the puzzle was pretty simple and there was really no payoff... shame really.

 

[Data West]

This never would have happened if Kessler were here. "If we have a Ritz emergency and you need to butter up..."

 

[AcridMeat]

I'm sorry but Scoops is and always will be Steve Gaynor.

"Thats a thing" is actually a thing in the office?


I thought it was just a photoshop some fan did.

 

[Arlecchino]

Funkystudent, meet printer.

Printer, funkystudent.

 

[Poyunch]

This the best thing that could ever happen to that 'shop other than Alex actually getting a pilot.

Is it safe in here yet?

I want to tlak about why the next random PC game needs to be Anachronox

Random PC games shouldn't actually be good. So I guess Anachronox is just fine.

You better not be implying that outcast or daggerfall were bad either.

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

How did the guys react to him? I bet that'll be edited out too.

 

[funkystudent]

They should beep over it with vinny saying cunt

 

[Agnogenic]

Ryan's since apology was the responsible and professional thing to do. I hope it blows over quickly.

 

[Odrion]

It will if people stop bringing it up.

 

[Blunt]

Wow, someone said something offensive in a moment of frustration and immediately apologized for it. Let's talk about it for another 5 pages.

And they did.

 

[Yo Gotti]

Damn, I missed some serious shit, I guess.

Nah. You didn't.

 

[Rapstah]

Of course it'll keep getting brought up, this thread has more filler than Dragon Ball Z.

 

[Backfoggen]

God dang why did I go to bed. Now I'll never see the whole thing.

 

[winstano]

Archive's up, what point did "The Event" happen?

 

[FStop7]

It doesn't really matter what we think of it. It matters what CBSi thinks of it. I wouldn't want to be in Ryan's shoes come Monday morning. Hopefully he'll just get a reprimand.

 

[Jb]

I haven't watched the Lanter Run yet but I gotta say I'm glad that Ryan apologized so formally, and perhaps more importantly stressed that it isn't a word he uses when the mics are off. I experienced firsthand how harmful words can be to one's psyche , especially when uttered by somebody you like, so he gets +1 respect in my books for reacting so quickly and professionally.

 

[Rapstah]

It's removed to the point that you can't actually tell there's anything removed. No bleep or anything. It's near the end, Will's reaction is something about a HR meeting.

 

[Xanathus]

This whole controversy feels manufactured by Ryan, did anyone actually get super-offended outside of the people doing the Lantern Run? If not, they probably set it up.

I don't think so he just blurted it out in the heat of the moment, didn't seem like he meant to say it.

I can only think you've never had a job to be able to think like that.
The guy would be hugely risking his job to do something like this deliverately. What possible good would come of manufacturing a situation like this?

 

[winstano]

That's the benefit of being individually mic'd up!

Still, good to see the immediate "oh shit I fucked up" response and the post on the GB forums about it too.

 

[Brewster's Wallet]

I know he wasn't saying it in the same way as him, but I like any excuse to post the Louis CK Poker scene

Really

Man can't feel repentant over his actions without accusations of manufacturing controversy

jesus

You say that, but just wait for millions of ad money they will be making once this story hits CNN and BBC.

Are you running around with a tinfoil hat, too?

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

...neither is the c-word even though using that word in public or a workplace is just as likely to get you in serious trouble or punched as letting the f-word slip out.

Woah now.

Us Brits wouldn't know how to string a sentence together without cunt.

 

[Backfoggen]

Disappointed that Vinny didn't replace it with him saying cunt.

Patrick's "Worth Reading" is complete garbage. It is not worth reading (or watching or playing), unless you are into indie pretensions.

Huh... this is the first time I've actually read one, how long's he been doing it?

 

[Riposte]

A couple weeks. Consistently the worst thing GiantBomb has ever done (though at some point he links articles that are not hipster brain mush, like that one game criticism blog comparing Zelda to Dark Souls. I'm not giving him credit for that lol). I'm not even a Patrick-hater, so to speak. He isn't anywhere near this cringe-worthy on the podcast.

That's not true at all.

 

[Riposte]

That's not true at all.

How freaks, normals, amateurs, artists, dreamers, dropouts, queens, housewives, and people like you are taking back a NeoGAF thread.

 

[Jintor]

What are you smoking Wesker

just salty you're getting your ass kicked in Shadoloo right now

 

[derFeef]

I think he's gone insane.

 

[Wunder]

Honestly, I'm more angry at Brad for ragequitting that game than anything that happened before that.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Agreed. He was at breaking point but the others weren't. Should have took one for the team and kept going the massive baby.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I'm thought someone else also said that it was pretty much the last one? From what I remember during that time everyone was pretty much at breaking point.

 

[Htown]

Next piece of random PC content needs to be Freespace 2.

YOU HEAR ME VINNY? FREESPACE. MUFUGGIN. 2.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

I have faith Will would have kept them going for hours.

I believe in Will!

 

[Backfoggen]

Next random PC game needs to be Interstate 76. I can't stress this enough.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Will "pushed 3 lanterns into Cthulhu" Smith?

 

[derFeef]

Random PC game needs to be DayZ.

 

[Foliorum Viridum]

Will "pushed 3 lanterns into Cthulhu" Smith?

Will really earned his stripes last night. Going straight into that enemy as the last man alive was like Cammie going into the Goomba in 1-1 at E3.

Hero he is. Fucking hero.
