Yeah Patrick was a hilarious train wreck. I am sure he will feel like an ass in the morning for ruining the Rock Band send off though.
 
Patrick singing over everybody typical....
I kid

That was amazing; I bet everybody especially Brad is going to hate themselves in the morning.
 
I think you missed my point entirely.

It's not the game mechanics that are making me avoid these games.

Ah, but it certainly is. You see, it is only a misunderstanding of the mechanics that would lead to any sort of rude behaviour from the community, although you're much more likely to catch flak in LoL/Dota 2 than you are in fucking Monster Hunter.

But yes, in both games you can completely ruin the game for others if you're terrible. If you don't pull your weight in LoL/Dota 2 (or worse, you just feed the enemy team), your team probably won't have much of a chance. In Monster Hunter, it's game over for everybody if there has been a total of three deaths within a mission. BUT! if you're at least competent at either game, these things won't ever be a problem.

So yeah, it's definitely an issue of game mechanics. You don't know them and you aren't interested in learning them, despite both games offering means for you to learn them in an isolated environment. Stay pleb, son, you missin' out on some hot games.
 
I can't tell what "side" you're on here
I'm on the "side" that thinks she was incredibly mistreated by the Giantbomb crew on that podcast, the following aftermath (remember the "leaked" text conversation), and by the listeners who excuse male behavior but not the female equivalent.

But, I don't want to derail the thread so I'll just let it be and leave it at that.

OK, so long as it's not the "I'm trying to stir shit up for kicks" side, which was my first guess.

I agree, for what it's worth. Like I said, drunk people. What you gonna do. Reminds me of when Johnny V first appeared on the Bombcast and everyone complained- now he's a fucking hero. (Johnny V being hilarious helps, of course)

as for the "leak", consider that's the dude whose podcast got burnt to the fucking ground who was saying that, I'd probably be pissed as well

To compare the E3 Bombcast with this Harmonix event is reaching when comparing expected behavior with alcohol in the speaker's system.
 
Vinny/Jeff or Patrick/Jeff. Jeff's the one who didn't finish it, right?

I thought it was Brad and Vinny who hadn't finished it. In the QL:Throwback of the game, Brad seemed to have very little knowledge of the game, and Ryan had completed it. Patrick, I don't know. I don't think Vinny has the time for an ER, especially if the start doing Fight Club, LOLS, Random PC Game, and the triumphant return to THE RIPPER. Jeff seems to hate Endurance Runs at this point. Who knows?
 
By the way, are we taking bets/odds on that Shenmue Endurance Run being announced at PAX? And if so, who will be the pair that does it?

I hope they go back to the VJ roots. Gotta get that combo magic backkkk. I would have liked Yakuza but totally fine with Shenmue.

edit: Actually good points about Vinny and Jeff. Jeff seems like he's been bogged the fuck down with daily meetings and shit and Vinny has been doing a lot of stuff on the premium side too. Who knows, I would LOVE vinny/jeff though.

So...Brad/Patrick?
 
Oh okay; I knew they'd joked about doing and endurance run but didn't know they had mentioned a specific game. I guess Shenmue would work. Its mostly cutscenes and and inane mini-games right?

Here's an idea do a premium Jeff/Vinny one and a regular Patrick/Alex one with Alex skyped in. I bet that would be fun!

Hold on before you go what was the details of this leaked text conversation? I have never heard of this.... What happened?

Ryan posted a screenshot of his screen that was talking about something unrelated to Leigh. On the corner of the screen, an IM was talking about "some crazy girl."
