Eh, it's not like the dude owns the official giantbomb tumblr, just a fansite really. I'm sure Dan can take (and had faced) the same criticisms over his life. Just feels lame that someone can care that much over what is ultimately a relatively harmless lifestyle.

Max Hardbod is a great D&D name.
It's the friggin' greatest, and is the only way I watch GB videos.

Yeah, it's not perfect, but the features it has make it really fantastic for my use.

I actually like the video player now other than its tendency to crash when watching really long videos.
The player is a lot better than it used to be, I hated it when it would automatically go to the next video (I saw the beginning of the Skyrim Quicklook far too many times), or when it would replay a video immediately after finishing.
100% agreed; makes it perfect for work watching
Really looking forward to the new Powerbombcast. Reigns' spot on The Lobby was good as was Jeff's participation. Hearing that he was on for like 45 minutes and having gotten the typical "celebrity in a game" questions out of the way on The Lobby, it should make for a good segment. For guy that can often be a rather stilted talker on TV, Reigns seems like a well-spoken interview guest.
Yep, top left quarter of my monitor is GB content and I work around it.

I've had that stupid MGS 2 theme in my head since I watched the first episode of Metal Gear Scanlon last night. It's a really good theme.

Is it patrick's capture method the reason for the weird... pixel wave thing in binding of isaac video?

If this all stems from the hiring controversy, then shouldn't tumblr guy be mad at the people who did the hiring and not the person who was hired? Or does that get in the way of his one-way friendship with everyone else on staff?
"(WW2/Vietnam/Modern/Near-future) is such a lame setting for anything."
Pick one, it's all been said.

apparently Dan did some more dumb shit.
hopefully John Drake returns to talk about that.
and yup it sounds like Mario Party 2 is imminent.

I can't stop reading this tumblr, so thanks to everyone who mentioned it.
Here's a gem: #hyperbolic internet people are exhausting
Yes. Yes, they are.

I'm shocked that some guy on tumblr is mad at him. One should think he ate kittens for breakfast.

Only if you're making a first-person shooter with the same boring assault rifle gameplay you'd have in a modern military setting. Nothing lame about the setting of Deus Ex: Human Revolution or Mirror's Edge, for example.

Wouldn't Deus ex be considered far future?

2052 is when Deus Ex took place, so I would consider that far future, especially pack when it came out.
The example was human revolution which is set in 2027 so I would class that as near future.

Uhm .....no.
I mean maybe they were, but it sure isn't presented like that. You are at a super serious funeral of you best friend, then get prompted to "press x to pay respects" and that's it.

Yeah, in addition CoD: AW takes place in 2054 which seems to be considered near future.
That's why I said the setting is only bad for boring first person shooters with boring weapons. The original comment was that near-future is a lame setting for anything.
Antiwhippy

Thing is, far future and near future are pretty relative terms. I would consider near future to be stuff that uses tech that are currently being developed for use in 5-10 years time. I can't quite remember if human revolution has anything that goes beyond that.

I don't suspect we'll have robot bodies that let us jump 15 feet in the air, punch through brick walls, or turn invisible in the next 10 years.

Press X for a smooth shave.
You don't think we'll have those?

Maybe the lizardmen don't want to let you know we have them.
How do you want to fight? Sticks or stones?
Well, seeing that COD thing in context, it doesn't come across as them being very self-aware. But who knows.
I know technically this isn't Giant Bomb content, but can Giant Bomb Unarchived grab this stuff and put it up on YouTube before it's lost forever?
As much as I want to give them the benefit of the doubt, you're probably right.

Well, "press X to pay respect to Kevin Spacey's lips" on the bombcast still made me laugh, so there.
Yeah, that was a pretty great line.

Edit: Sorry wrong thread.
No it certainly hasn't
You havn't read the piece so how do you know it's "stupid and unimportant".
Also: Oh no, it's a whole day later? Burn it down.
