Holy shit Troy Baker
Bill Trinen tweeted congratulations at Patrick, so it's speculated that he's joining Nintendo.
[QUOTE=General;46822659]Holy shit Troy Baker[/QUOTE] what what's going on with troy baker
I like Patrick as a person, but I really cannot stand his editorials. Any of them relating to any sort of controversial topic came off as incredibly stand-offish and sometimes outright vindictive. I do hope he goes on to a nice place though.
[QUOTE=Fish_poke;46822813]I do hope he goes on to a nice place though.[/QUOTE] Did you even watch the GOTY videos? He's leaving to direct Evil Bong 4.
[QUOTE=Zuimzado;46822811]what what's going on with troy baker[/QUOTE] Watch todays GOTY recap video, then you will see. [editline]30th December 2014[/editline] Also not sad to see Patrick go. Never read/watch any of his content, but he's alright when he's in UPF's and shit with the rest of the crew. Him by himself/with Alex is ultra boring stuff.
I'm so glad he's finally gone, he's the worst thing to ever happen to the site. He felt so out of place there, he always seemed like a polygon or kotaku employee who gets triggered by everything.
I'd rather Alex left. I can't stand him.
[url]http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/stardust-s-top-10-games-of-2014/1100-5137/[/url] What is this.
Does anyone else find Patrick's leaving article a little obnoxious. Did he have to start it with "We'll meet again." I get changing a job is hard but you don't need to write it like you're dying.
the fact that he titled it "The End" seems very pretentious, especially with the usage of a group photo. imagine if somebody didn't notice it was patrick's farewell article on the frontpage and saw it in a related article and misunderstood it as giantbomb ending???
Also people are getting banned for any comment along the lines of "good" by the mods.
i try to ignore the users because they are absolutely awful. they think the ironic "shitposting" the guys do on videos/podcasts are funny, but when somebody does the same thing in the comments section they turn full white knight. like can you actually believe when somebody says "brad has put on some weight" or "brad should lose some weight" that it's actually rude and worthy of being banned from commenting?

Not permaban-worthy but why even bring it up?

[QUOTE=Damoman;46824956]Also people are getting banned for any comment along the lines of "good" by the mods.[/QUOTE] Zoe Quinn's Top 5 Games of the Year 2013 article randomly showed up a few months ago for me, I commented "I wonder what her 5 guys of 2013 were" and got permabanned within 10 minutes. This was like 3 months after gamergate started. They said they'll unban me if I say I'm sorry, fuck the mods I'm not sorry for shit.

[QUOTE=Marc Laidlaw;46825102]u sure showed them Seriously though getting pbanned from that place is a blessing.[/QUOTE] I wasn't trying to show them anything, thought it would be funny to throw that up on a 9 month old article.
[QUOTE=RainbowStalin;46824588]I'd rather Alex left. I can't stand him.[/QUOTE] I find Alex really inoffensive and sort of typical for a Sports editor. Patrick was straight up annoying.

Changed my avvie in honor of the best Mario Party bromance.
I sorta want an avatar of Brad chewing the veggies.
[QUOTE=Fish_poke;46825982]I find Alex really inoffensive and sort of typical for a Sports editor. Patrick was straight up annoying.[/QUOTE] I just feel that he tries way too hard and that he should just shut up. Sometimes I think I might like him and then he starts shouting about something and I hate him again.
I found out about GB this year... my objective next year is to listen to all the Bombcasts, watch all the videos and hopefully get enough money to buy a yearly premium. Seriously, that Mario Party video was fucking great.

Also you should watch the persona run for the pivotal Geoff and Vinny experience.
Oh man, I don't think I can hear all the old podcasts. I mean listen to all the podcasts that come out on 2015.
