He's too busy updating the shop.
Got to pay my respects by quoting it again, this is fucking awesome.
It takes him all week to edit the podcast.
The drop in output of pre-produced videos is kind of a shame as well, as opposed to earlier in the site's lifetime. Definitely understand it's due to a lack of resources, they explained it at some point, but it's still disappointing. At least we got the epic GOTY '11 content before things went all batty, and their E3 recaps were top notch.
I also still consume more GB content than most other media options I pay for, so while it seems like they're treading water at times they've still got me on board.
Brilliant!
I think more what I'm getting at is GB seems to be de-emphasizing the need to review new releases. It was never really their thing to review everything that came out, but I was surprised that Sleeping Dogs was reviewed by Alex. Hopefully everyone will play Borderlands 2, though.

At this point they could safely drop this "reviewing" thing and turn the site into a video production business only, with the occasional actual journalistic article by Patrick.

Oh man, I hadn't seen that. That's hilarious, I imagine he did it for that very reason.

I only follow the fabled Jeff Gertsmann. Who the heck is this "Gerstmann" guy?
From what I recall, you don't choose to become verified. Twitter chooses you.

Did his twitter account just recently become verified? I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few fake Jeff Gerstmann twitter acounts created during the whole Gerstmann-gate situation.

It's at the bottom of the page.
yeah, it's been around since 2006-ish, but it wasn't nearly as big in 2008 as now, of course.

Yeah, I'm pretty clueless when it comes to twitter. I should probably get with the times.

I only opened a Twitter account in April 2008 to get free Xbox Live Arcade codes people were giving out.

They've looked at this game before right? I'm getting major deja vu.

I'd rather watch and listen to them commentate random old GB videos.

Excellent.
And he didn't even need a creepy parrot mask for that
Been noticing issues for a while with streaming video around nights (starting around 9-10PM Central for me) with videos on the site just constantly needing to buffer. Not sure if it's just me, but don't think it's my Internet since I don't notice any issues streaming Youtube or anything else. Pretty annoying.
HAHAHAHAA OMG! thank you for that.
I don't think Patrick will be back.
Holy shit, one of my coworkers was at this same place posing with those same birds a week ago. It's in Hawaii, there's a guy who brings his birds out and charges people for photos with them.
This is beautiful.
OH LAWD
