There's something dodgy I've found with their podcast video editing, in that the outro on their Gamescast and GoG episodes is quite jarring. Not sure if anyone else feels that way, but it's not, smooth...? IDK.
Not that I thought Colin's scripted reading skills are bad, but Tim freaking kills it with that kind of thing. He's a natural.

Speaking of Tim killing it, he raised some quite remarkable points on their
Game Awards topic today. He's knocking it out of the park IMO. I also think Colin raises some good points about criticism being valid so long as it's not personal. I can't necessarily sympathise with that personally, but it's definitely a position I wouldn't want to be in. It's not something necessarily exclusive on GAF, and it's definitely better here, but on sites like Twitter, people can be so malicious and mean spirited with their opinions that their criticism doesn't become constructive anymore.
Greg's such a nice guy and so respectful of other people's opinions.
Oh, c'mon, talk about cherry picking man
Seriously though, it's not as if much effort was put in the guys tweet in the first place. It's a clear trolling rebuttal to Greg's comments that TLG just isn't for him.
Tim honestly has more knowledge on video games in 2016 than both Colin and Greg. He carries the Gamescast now.
Again, c'mon dude, that's just revisionist history
. Just because Greg or Colin never played enough of TLG, or cared about it, it doesn't mean they don't necessarily have knowledge on VGs released this year. You can just see how many games they've all played this year and the topics they've discussed about.
Yeah, perhaps there have been a few blights in regards to their knowledge (such as the PS4 Pro 'debacle' -- which was blown out of proportion to begin with), but don't you think what you're saying is pure hyperbole?
That TLG talk was fucking awful. Sometimes I wish Tim just made his own videos, since he's the only one who seems to play new releases.
You see, I respectfully disagree. Yes it's true they may have not liked TLG and so never finished it, but that's not really an issue since the game just isn't for them, and I don't really see why they should force themselves to finish a game they don't like just for the sake of pleasing a crowd that can go and watch other reviews that do like it. I think Greg touches upon that point in the video.
It's not like in the IGN days where they're journalists and have to finish a game for a review, even one they don't like. Here they have so much more autonomy on what they want to play due to the nature of their business and that's fine -- some people aren't going to like that, and so the rational and logical thing would be to find personalities or reviewers who speak to them for those types of games.
He really can't stand the fact they both didn't fail like he foretold. #colinwaswrong
LOL.
To be fair, he did say that at worst, FFXV was going to be good, and that he wanted both games to be great. TLG just isn't for him.
