Top men... top men... top men... That's me, I guess?

 

[def sim]

We can make this work!

 

[Fotheringay]

If we all keep refreshing it's bound to work.

 

[shwimpy]

upf stream is borked, this thread gets moved to community... what the fuck is going on?

 

[daydream]

But, as Emcee mentioned a while back, for whatever reason we're not well liked even if we are one of the most civil and well behaved threads on GAF.

Yeah, I don't mind the move, at all, but that part irks me a bit.

 

[Zaph]

Wait why?

*shrug*

dunno, pm them

 

[Hot Coldman]

wasn't me!!!!


(though i never voiced any objections)

reminder that large swathes of GAF are incapable of anything other than sneering

I'd avatar quote you, but I'm busy refreshing.

EmergencyEdit: CHAT IS DOWN FOR THE COUNT!

Alexis clearly sabotaged GB on his way out

The end is nigh.

RIP el Game Gigante thread, X is a decent enough milestone to go out on.

 

[SlowRevolution]

so many sponsors have already been pulled that they can't afford to do upf anymore

The world if falling apart. It's probably those Gamergate miscreants. They probably orchestrated the Percy Harvin to the Jets trade too!

 

[EmCeeGramr]

You guys have kind of exaggerated my statement, which was already exaggerated for effect. Most of the other mods don't really care too much about video/personality driven sites, and so most of their experience with the thread is "what is this and why are they rambling on about random stuff," as well as hearing stories about having to cool people down about "bad at games" and Patrick stuff and weirdo weekend shit.

Currently their level of knowledge about Giant Bomb is me telling them about Dan, who they are not convinced is a real person.

 

[stump sock]

well whatever that fried hotdog monstrosity on the thumbnail is, it's making me hungry

 

[Dany]

We can still have the weekly bombcast thread and the childsplay thread in OT and have it linked to here.

Right? :/

With Drew gone they're not getting that big Pear Cider money

Of course.

 

[Incandenza]

Gimme some more
time in a dream
gimme the hope
to run out of steam

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Dave....site is....ohhh ermmm
Alexis the site.....damn it!

 

[Shiny Llama]

This weird synth playlist someone in the GB chat linked makes great stand-in waiting-for-UPF music.

so basically this move was a result of bias

I thought this site was about ethics in video games

To be fair I don't think anyone is completely convinced of that.

 

[Dany]

Of course.

Okay cool. As long as people can find this thread (or the next one).

 

[Danomeon]

Hooray for chat being back!

I hope the video works soon, I've got a hot pizza and I always take the first bite when they fade in. It's a Friday ritual.

So you're saying it's a lack of education?

Give me names, I'll PM them my Jeff ER's Persona 3 fan fiction. I'm sure that'll straighten everything out.

I always thought it made more sense for this thread to be in community, but why now

Now you've done it

 

[IaN_GAF]

I am not sure what just happened.

Why would you tell an outsider about Dan? Not even we understand him!

They're going to have you comitted if you keep this up.

 

[The Dear Leader]

It's not a UPF without everything falling apart at the last minute.

follow the money

 

[Xeteh]

I'm still super bummed Alexis is moving on. He seems like an awesome dude. I do wish him the best though.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

I always thought it made more sense for this thread to be in community, but why now

Honestly, the "why now" is because over the last two or three months it's been this ongoing topic of "what the fuck are the super best friends and why do their threads have so many posts, i went in there and after 10 pages i don't know who they are" and when it was decided to also move it to Community, there was this question of what made the GB thread any different, really

 

[alr1ght]

We got moved to community ghetto

wild west time up in here now

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

follow the money

Dammit, I knew I missed one.

 

[Felix Lighter]

I always thought it made more sense for this thread to be in community, but why now

The sticky post on the Gaming Forum about OTs got some feedback about this and other threads like it. I'm sure it wasn't the first time it was discussed but it may have been the tipping point.

So those anime nerds fucked us. Jeff was right all along.

 

[Infinite Justice]

it finally happened huh?

thank you BASED SUBCRIPTIONS

 

[chogidogs]

They should use squarespace to host the show.

Poor Vita... it just wasn't meant to be.

Waifu's. It's always waifu's.

 

[Teddified]

Does this mean everyday will be a weekend?

I didn't even find out until I saw someone post about it on here. Heh

I remain unconvinced that Dan isn't some government experiment foisted on an unknowing population.

 

[Dany]

How many times is Dan going to utter the word normal?

I feel like the AVGN thread might as well move too

I know that sounds really petty, and you'd be right
