I was playing that the other day and it just felt so right. It... Enlightened me.
the part where you're just racing on and the text "Metallica" just cassually strolls slowly through the screen is the funniest thing ive seen in a game in 2013

Oh no, I fully support augmentating our inferior human bodies.
I just feel it weird that it's going to happen this soon.
Just watched the Ken Levine interview, really cool. I think they failed to talk about some of the obvious things like his role in the cancellation of the film, and the DLC plans for Infinite, but it was cool, just to give someone enough time to really ruminate on their thoughts and let an interview progress more like a typical conversation.
I wish they'd do more of these. Obviously very few people command the kind of attention Ken Levine does, and very few people are going to want to do something like this if they're not forced to in order to sell a game, but it'd be great if they could make something of a habit of doing these.

I had to laugh at Patrick talking over Ken Levine. Dude doesn't discriminate, I'll give him that.
I don't think it's intentional, I think it's because he asks a question, then immediately doesn't like the way it came out so he re-asks it with a different flavor. The interviewee begins to respond but doesn't realize Patrick isn't done talking yet.

There was also an instance in there where he butt-in to summarise Levine's thought and then finish it for him though. Not a dig either, really, it was pretty obvious he felt the need to contribute something after a pretty long one-sided discussion between Levine and Jeff.
Levine would make a great non-PR guest, the end of that interview was great.
Stuff like that can happen in a conversational setting like this, as opposed to a traditional "ask question, get answer" interview.
I thought we had already decided that it's no longer news when it's 3 hours long? It's more that it's news when it's less than 3 hours?

Sounded a lot like a child butting into a conversation between adults.

Pretty ignorant response. He has done it both times giantbomb has had these interviews. Wasn't he apparently learning from the constructive criticism?
So Brian Altano just tweeted this:
Dudes funny as hell, I would love to see him on.
Whoa, this needs to happen. Brian Altano and the entire Comedy Button cast are awesome.
Yeah Anthony is one of my favorite parts of the Comedy Button. He seems like a really cool guy.

Formerly worldrevolution. The only reason I am nice to anyone else is to avoid being banned.
If they're gonna put no names on the bombcast they might as well invite me.
Brian Altano is from the Comedy Button, one of, if not the very first wildly successful Kickstarter campaigns.
I'm not saying that puts him on the gaming name level of an Adam Sessler or anything, but he's definitely well liked.

Goddammit Patrick was annoying in that interview. Was still a very enjoyable video though and Patrick is a good guy, but he needs to stop interrupting people all the time.
That would probably be the day I swear off the Bombcast for all eternity. Please spare us from your opinions.

again..who?
If randoms with a twitter account can petition to be on the bombcast, just get Wario64.
But my opinions..they so right! Your's..so wrong..

Nanomachines, son.
Jeff casts a big shadow and has a natural rapport with Ken. Must be difficult trying to fit in in a situation like that.

More guests on the bombcast would be welcome but a guest normally means Vinny isnt on and if they have no Vinny then they might as well not do a bombcast that week.

Altano is great, bombcast is great, 2 great tastes taste great together.

That wasn't aimed at you. Not aimed at that interview either. What you said just reminded me of a scene from that movie and I felt like referencing it. Continue to dislike, I don't care about that.
Swazzle stars topping, oh boy!

This summarizes my feelings about every interaction that Patrick has with the other members of the GB site. It feels like he is constantly trying really hard to fit in.

Seems to fit in perfectly to me. Can't really imagine Giantbomb without him at this point.
