It's actually even worse than I thought??? Even if you count UPF, that is... not great

Dan can break out of his lease, he would just have to pay an exorbitant amount for it.

On hires, they should hire the Game Grumps. Now they can put out content every day. And they would fit right in, since they play old games frequently.(Dan from GG just soloed Space Quest 3. It was great #content)
It's been a while since I've visited this thread and it looks like that was probably for the best. I guess if you don't like their premium output or the amount of it then unsubscribe. That has to be the quickest way to get the point across, but I think it's really unfair to question their ethic.
It makes perfect sense that he would stick around for the job security, but I always found it funny how far removed from Polygon's general focus it seems that Griffin and Justin operate in with their video content. Although I guess that is increasingly less of an issue now that they're a "cover everything omg I don't even know" website
I would rather put my head into a blender

Game Grumps are good when they're not doing LPs which is a weird thing to say for a channel, but they're way funnier when they're not trying to fill air time and can actually think up jokes.
Just hire Danny and Ninja Brian.

Are you telling me that people aren't doing exactly that?

Finally, it's here. Diving in later today. This and FFXV(playing it after TLG) is all that is left for me to play before deciding on what my top 10 list for this year is.
---
Vinny outrage + Kojima talk were fanfuckingtastic.
The score by Hans Zimmer, Nick Glennie-Smith & Harry Gregson-Williams is damn good as well.
I enjoyed all of Alan Wake but I kind of agree in that it kind of becomes overly complicated by the end. I'm still very interested in that world though and I very much welcome a sequel.
I keep listening to the podcast and read articles. Not an avid follower of course but I keep up to speed twice a week on stuff.
Gears 4 came out at the right time, I feel. There was enough time spent away from Gears that returning to it felt right. I enjoyed Gears 4 but it could have been better to be honest when it comes to the campaign. However, MP & Horde 3.0 is top notch especially with buddies.
Man that FFXV update news is something, I think I'll just continue on playing it and beat it. Then maybe watch the new "cutscenes" or w/e on youtube, or some possible replay in a few years.
I'm only on chapter 5 or so right now so no spoilers
Yeah, I got the game a few days ago and I don't think I'll wait because by then there will be other games releasing and I'll be focusing on them so...yeah.
When it comes to Kojima for me, I always enjoy his work because he always gives me something interesting to think about and I echo Dan's statement in that I adore the way Kojima mixes up military, real world stuff with super melodramatic shit. I mean if you look at MGS on a base level, it's about a dad and his cloned sons all fighting against one another.
After finishing Titanfall 2 twice, I wouldn't mind BT winning. He's awesome thanks to the campaign that really put him and Cooper together in situations as well as good writing that really make their relationship shine.
I have added "Hot Streak" to my vocabulary. I have had numerous hot streaks within the past 38 standard hours.
Yeah, I agree. At the same time, different people have different needs when it comes to how they spend their money so, sometimes I get where the complaints come from. Not everyone has disposable income and that's completely understandable. As for me I'm just glad that I am able to keep supporting the duders who did so much for me in terms of entertainment ever since way back when(Hotspot days). I look forward to the GOTY stuff in a few weeks since Alex mentioned white smoke yesterday!
I've watched UPF since it's inception and still do because I enjoy it. Always look forward to relaxing over the weekend with some UPF, it feels wrong without watching one on weekends for me to be honest.

Danny is great, and I think he could actually fit in with the Giant Bomb dynamic. Arin, on the other hand, is kind of stale. He relies too much on the same jokes and voices to get him through each episode.
Honestly, though, I'd rather they hire someone that isn't in the public spotlight. Dan & Austin were great hires, so I'm sure the next addition to the crew will be great.
Has he said if there was some confusion or a misunderstanding over the original lease end date? Or did he just do the Dan thing and assume he'll have no problem terminating his lease early?
I rent in a very expensive city, and yeah, while some landlords are easier to deal with than others, enforcing the original tenancy agreement (or accepting a very large termination fee) isn't exactly rare.
The landlord probably just doesn't want to have a rental property with Winter contract dates. It's the worst time to find tenants and organise moving.

Arin*
But yeah he's the main one I'm thinking about when the "filling time" jokes come to mind.
I wouldn't mind Ross or Barry getting on, they do some solid work outside of Grumps.

Alex was with Jeff on Mixlr. this morning, so I would assume they'd be on UPF tonight.

Neat! Elite Dangerous is coming to PS4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oraiiX_S6ls
They are, and it is unfair.
As a consumer you shouldn't pay for anything that you don't think is good value for money, but as a poster in this thread you should realize that lack of premium content has never been down to anything like laziness. I would hate to know the amount of hours they have worked these past couple of weeks to get all the GotY stuff done in a strict time limit.

You guys Superhot VR is so god damn cool. It deserves its own Quick Look, although I'm sure the VRodeo segment will be good.

I was going to say that Gears was probably going to make the list. They seemed to enjoy Horde mode.
I agree that GotY is the time that should warrant the least amount of complaining, but this discussion has been going on for quite a while and I don't think it's necessarily directed at this precise moment of GB's output.
As usual the answer probably lies in the middle of "fuck this shit, they're just a bunch of lazyasses" and "my GB duders are perfect and can do no wrong, don't you dare complain about them".
Also, the way people go about expressing their views is an important thing to consider (and i'm aware that humorous hyperbole is basically one of the official "languages" of this thread, but sometimes it's hard to toe that line).

I might be imagining it but I swear at the start he said the landlord was cool because it allowed them to jack up the rent. Now he says the contract doesn't allow any transfer or sub letting. So it is hard to say if the landlord is a dick or Dan made some costly assumptions.
Oh, totally. And I'm speaking from a very specific place of not having known anyone in Dan's exact predicament, but everyone I know who had to move for whatever reason had very little trouble arranging a sublet while honouring the rest of the term. Sucks that it isn't an option.

I really need to charge my 3DS so I can play that game. I've been loving the 2d picross I've been playing on my phone.

Also, while it was great content, so much of the fun was due to Handibot, who is obviously not part of the game. That game Vinny played the other game was just as great content for us, but that clearly is not a good game. Rec Room is obviously well made made compared to that other game, but I think it will make few, if any, top-10 list.
Imagine how amazing mobile video games would be if phones had buttons. Man.
Do you know the first 3D Picross? It's very different from the 2D one and I'd advice to play that before you fall in love with 3D 2.
This. I'm defending them, but never want to make it seem like I'm just kissing their ass. They've rarely if ever done me wrong in the six-plus years that I've followed them, so I give them the benefit of the doubt when stuff like this happens. I assume they know how to create content and run a games website better than me. And if it ever got to the point that I felt my subscription wasn't worth it then I would unsubscribe. But I can't in good faith tell them how to do a job that I have no experience in, even if I'd like more content.
