This was fantastic! It is a really good idea. I can almost seeing this take off as a new challenge people would do.
the end shot was great.

I would assume so; if there wasn't then they probably would have said so on last night's Unplugged stream.

In the Metal Gear Scanlon bonus, Dan talks about how Metal Gear Solid basically got him his job at Game Informer, just because he called them as a Gamestop employee offering to make them a commercial.

oh wow, they were called "game advisors" even back then
I work at gamestop now, if I make a commercial does that mean I can become a professional game journo?
in other news, patrick still tries to push forth his agenda

news flash patrick, none of what happened to this lady had anything to do with gamergate. in fact, gamergate wasn't even mentioned until anti-gg people started looking at it and trying to spin it off as one.

i also like how he cites that the "accusations of journalistic impropriety" has been false because a kotaku article made by the compromised journalist's superior is a good source right.
The two new EX Quick Looks are jam-packed with hot Dave Lang action. Check them out.
Listening to Brad cream himself over Destiny is starting to get boring, I'm seriously starting to think that someone is paying him to say good things about the game.
Hopefully that wouldn't happen. I think of all the games sites Giantbomb would be the last to take bribes, especially considering the events that lead to the site's creation in the first place. I was just listening to the bombast as well, skipped through some of the Destiny crap, I remember Brad saying he's done talking about it on the podcast now they've got all the site content they're going to get out of it.

But we do get a break from all his DOTA bullshit, so it's not all bad.
I just think its funny that every time someone mentions how they don't like that game his only response is WHAT HUH I THINK ITS AMAZING.
You have to be taking a bribe to say Destiny has a good loot system.
i feel like brad talks wayyyy too much about a single game he's playing (what is this, like the third week he's been talking nonstop about destiny?)

At least it's getting him to shut up about Dota.
Away Patrick Klepek goes, continuing to shit fling about things he doesn't know!

Or maybe he's just a human being and likes some game and is excited about it?

Maybe, but it still makes for some pretty awful podcast material.
I want more premium content :(

Just listened to the new podcast
They need to stop talking about Destiny
It's so fucking boring

Pretty sure they said this is the last time they would bring it up.

Anyone else: "I don't like this thing about Destiny"
Brad: "what do you mean? its amazing what a good game can't wait to play more"
cue awkward silence
Like I understand he likes it, I just want more of an explanation as to why because honestly I can't see his point of view. People raise legitimate criticism and it just goes over his head.
Jeff has posted his thoughts on this whole thing

There's already people calling Jeff a sellout on Twitter (amongst a lot of positivity though) and cancelling their GB subscriptions. I mean, do what you want with your money, but some people are really taking this personally.
Then again, people also cancelled their subscriptions when they hired Dan and Jason because they're white males, so what can ya do.
I don't see how he did anything to anger people. He acted in a very neutral manner and acknowledges that there are bad sides on both of the conflict and that there are lots of decent people on the GG side that want media to change all of that stuff. But people will always get mad over nothing.

There are people who say they're cancelling their subscriptions when a review that they don't agree with gets posted on the site, it means jack shit.

Well considering he called it a "hate movement" I can understand people being angry with him.
