Wouldn't surprise me if they shut down GameSpy once and for all. Poor Rorie.

Seriously.. They need to just bring him in and be an editor over at comic vine or something.

Indeed, Comic Vine should hire Rorie to help out since Sara is now an East coast correspondent

 

[vitaminwateryum]

That's really depressing.

 

[Perfusion]

I don't understand how in an industry of asshats Rorie gets bounced around so much. His Dark Souls write up is one of the best pieces to appear on GB.

 

[Ozone]

Rorie is too good for this.

 

[slightconfuse]

Rorie really got screwed by the buyout.

Dude single handly kept screened alive after Alex went to the east coast.

Yup, makes no sense. Especially so that he's also great on camera (just watch that Adult Swim promotion he did for Screened).

Would be great if Giant Bomb took him in, but I think any new hire would be a video guy.

Time to work on your video production skills, Matthew.

The good guys of games journalism.

 

[funkystudent]

Rorie deserves better then this.

 

[Megasoum]

They should get him for a TNT or Unprofessional Friday at least.

 

[Sleeplessnights]

Time for some good news, the other Brad is on tonight in TNT.

 

[Spookie]

Rorie needs to catch a break.

 

[SpudBud]

Rorie has the worst luck.

Anyone else having trouble downloading the vids to the Giantbomb Video buddy app?

Downloads aren't working for me. Streaming is fine.

every day, millions of children die from starvation in the third world. we let them die, because we're too selfish to aid them, or to boycott their governments that let them starve, or to pay attention to anyone outside of our own worldview


but what if


those children were aliens

I love how these games are telling me I'm selling my soul to the man and that information is power, when they're funded by billion dollar corporations on a a console that embraces the invasive facebook-era interconnectivity.

ok same thing for me, i was able to download the crysis 3 video sometime yesterday but nothing else since

Rorie is PERFECT for Giant Bomb, hire him goddamnit!

IMO Comic Vine seems exactly like the sort of site that'll also be shut down in less than a year from now.

 

[Typographenia]

I really wish I had a super successful website focused on editorials and reviews to give someone like Matt Rorie a job. : (


That sucks, man. I hope you're able to find something again, soon.

 

[slightconfuse]

IMO Comic Vine seems exactly like the sort of site that'll also be shut down in less than a year from now.

the database is very comprehensive and get tons of traffic. i browse it a lot. so i dont see it going anywhere.

plus the forums seem very active

 

[Rapstah]

Didn't Comic Vine have something like two times the visitors of Giant Bomb the last time those numbers were brought up in here?

 

[Doomshine]

I thought Comic Vine got more traffic than Giant Bomb?

really? Dave put so much work into the redesign

This is the problem with both sites. The data they hold is valuable, not the sites themselves.

Lol wut, for a lot of their time at whiskey, comic vine was the highest traffic'd site of any of the whiskey sites. Even with GB, Tested, and Screened combined. They really haven't waned in popularity as a comicbook site, they just continue to get overshadowed because people here only cared about GB and heard from them through osmosis

 

[Dark Schala]

Rorie laid off again. Dude can't catch a break.

Spoiler

I wish Jeff was in a position to pull some strings

Man, Rorie doesn't deserve this. I like the guy a lot, and he just got a job.

Shucks.

Where am I going to get my puppy info now?

Such a bummer Rorie really needs to work some magic and become a full time giantbomb member, would be great.

GiantBomb needs more video staff. Maybe he can join as an intern.

Rorie's blog: It’s Been…Well, It’s Been A Pretty Short Road, Actually.

Maybe, but I really want him to land a full time position somewhere, Rorie needs to eat =( And all of his editorial content is great, would hate to see him disappear.

 

[slightconfuse]

it would be nice if they got rorie to more long form impressions of games. his dark souls piece was very enlighting. sometihng like that for Ni no Kuni would be great. also much like patrick he would be a guy to play games the main staff would not touch

This is exactly why I want Rorie at Giant Bomb, he fills in the gaps and works well (as far as I know) with the crew.

So let's come up with genres Rorie would fill in

-Niche JRPG
-Dating sims
-Hardcore strategy
-MMOs
-Non-flight simulators
-Roguelikes
-Dwarf Fortress
-Anything hard like D* Souls and Monster Hunter

 

[Ken]

-Non-flight simulators

Euro Truck Simulator 2 QL tells me this spot is already filled.

 

[slightconfuse]

those wow videos they did with rorie around cataclysm where awesome. they did not even do anything for Pandaria

Until Drew starts gushing about how awesome the game is, no.

I was sort of dozing off watching their live reaction video to the PS4 stuff but woke up during a part where Ryan and Patrick suddenly started sounding a lot like they were saying the Dualshock 4 didn't have R2 and L2 buttons. It does, so what were they talking about? This is somewhere around ten minutes from the end, I skipped around a little to get context but I couldn't make sense of it.

They're saying the Vita doesn't have L2/R2 so it will make Remote Play annoying because they'll probably use the back touchpad.

Pretty sure they were talking about the Vita and how it wouldn't work properly when it came to playing PS4 games on it. I don't own a Vita but I'm guessing it only has two shoulder buttons?

 

[kylej]

Rorie is the best writer by far of the old Whiskey crew and he's really entertaining when being recorded as seen by the GB Dark Souls quick look. I think he has unique tastes that would offer something fresh for GB, wish CBS would pick him up.

 

[derFeef]

Unless they changed their times, the coming up time seems wrong.

 

[demidar]

Didn't even think about that. Well shit.

How is remote play done? Just streaming video or are actual data sent to be run on the Vita? I'm not convinced it will be lag free.

Oh, okay, I didn't even know that about the Vita. Thanks.
