For some reason Vinny signalling before merging cracked me up more than anything else

Oh THAT'S what they did with the Grapevine. What a bummer. The Grapevine is the only interesting part of the 5.

An entire Best of Giant Bomb episode can be made from this one quick look alone.

No doubt.

Oh huh, I have no recollection of that being so long. Maybe I only watched part 1 or something?

It was split into 2 parts it was so long. Total running time was over 3.5hrs
I certainly didn't watch it all
Seems to be about 3 and a half hours.

I'm a little bit behind now and I just heard about the multiplayer, the idea of a server where people role play as truckers is amazing.

That's fucking long! And then a week later everyone forgot that game existed.
Yeah, they talked about it on the latest Beastcast. Apparently taken very seriously, and you'll get banned for breaking relatively small rules.
My normal non cool guy edition still hasn't updated.
Arma for truckers.

Am I a bad person because I haven't really cared about any of the guest columns on GB?
You can be honest.

no
let me be the bad person here and pose a question:
who goes to GB for editorial
no, i don't give a fuck about any of them either

I think I nearly fainted from laughter when Alex almost flipped. The build up of the by the book driving to the sudden chaos was just too good.
Nope. But I to felt a little bad when Austin was plugging them at the end of the last Beastcast.
Well, mine officially just shipped ... via USPS.
Dammit. That basically guarantees it's a bubble envelope. Glad I'm not super picky about box condition. Also, USPS is rarely on time in my experience. Have a feeling I won't get the promised release date delivery.
I've skimmed over some of the articles but I haven't listened to any of the introduction podcasts and don't plan to. I hope it works out for them, but it's not something I'm interested in.
Mine still just says "Pre-ordered" with the expected delivery date of Friday.

I'm not opposed to them or anything but I was hoping for something a bit more....meaty I guess? I'd love to read an article about the development of a game (though obviously those are way harder) but "Let's talk about touching anime faces" or "Hey, this Dragon Age DLC is kinda good?" just isn't interesting to me. The one about labor conditions was the only one remotely interesting for me so far.

I listen to the podcast and mostly skim the articles. I've honestly found the podcasts more interesting. The articles are fine, just none have really been my kind of thing.

I've really enjoyed the guest articles. The weakest one to me so far was the first one.
Curious to see where they go for the follow-ups.

Yup
Some people seem to be enjoying them, so great, but if it isn't actual reporting, or some inside-industry dirt, I just don't want to know. Most editorial reads like blog pieces anyway - I just don't think games themselves warrant it yet.

I've also been enjoying the articles but I've also wanted some more writing on the site for a while.
Amazon tends to stock enough regular editions of games that they can put them in a bunch of warehouses. They likely haven't shipped to you yet because there is one close enough that they don't have to. For special editions, they can be congregated in just a few, so they might have to travel further.

Yeah, terms have gotten weird when talking about a site that is mostly video/audio.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm close to a warehouse since I've had things shipped in one day even with two day shipping. I was just kind of hoping they might mess up and I'd get it tomorrow.
My Best Buy copy of the SE hasn't been updated since November.
And my brother STILL doesn't have his copy of Street Fighter V I ordered for him from their website. They finally posted a tracking number on their website this afternoon for that, which just says "electronic info recieved" when you check it.
I've been buying games from Best Buy's website for close to 2 years now (since GCU became a thing), and never had it miss release date delivery. I'm getting really worried.
I haven't looked at any of them. It feels very Polygon-y.

Just finished reading Janine's article and it's probably my favourite of the bunch so far, it's certainly refreshing seeing someone actually explain why they would be bummed about the face touching stuff being removed from FE instead of just whining about it.

Your Best Buy doesn't have it available for pick up? I'm picking mine up on Friday from the store.

Though really.
It's a pretty weird relationship where the ultimate sign of affection is that you can pet their head.
Not that head petting can't be part of a healthy relationship. I'm not here to head pet shame.

Some people pet heads and some people get belly piercings, relationships are weird.
simultaneously while being entertaining, interesting, and highly affable
he's awesome
