Some people (including myself) have been advocating this for months. It's part of why I stopped posting in that thread. We're trying to starve it to death.
You're a monster ;_;

Agreed, no real need for a QL thread

I was originally against the idea, but I have come on board the last few months. No need for the split, in my opinion.
Gamespot Gameplay is a pretty good podcast. Haven't listened to the one Matt is on yet, but I enjoy the podcast.
There needs to be a loop of "Drop a Bomb on Me"
but the "Baby" lyric replaced with Vinnie. That's what that site needs.
The original was giantasshole.com, though.

It's really weird how the top spot on the website only updates like once a week. Imagine if it was actually the most recent content...
I'd imagine right now Ryan's snowed under in E3 prep.
I used to be in event production, and it's no fucking joke. Even the smallest one day shows take a shit ton of coordination. Once spent an entire day emailing, on the phone and running around; just to lock down what wireless frequency our mics could use.
They also organise their own guests, which is a whole other clusterfuck that usually requires a dedicated producer.

Swapper took a dark turn when he left his real body in a pit and became the clone.
I remember this. I was dying at work, good to hear again.

But he triumphed over adversity. If that's not inspiring and life-affirming than I don't know what is.
Oh cool! We should play DOTA sometime

God damn it, my sub re-upped without me realising. 
At least he managed to avoid seeing that super guide asshole during world one.
I hate that fuckin guy. sitting there all smug and taunting me. I will not use you, super guide. no I will not.

Jeez. I'm not a person to complain about someone sucking at a game in LPs or Quick Looks, but holy shit. Ryan should never try to play platformers, haha. So bad.
I'm sure it was only a few levels where I saw him, but when you do see him, you tend to see him like 20 times in a row, especially on the hard minecart levels.

These guys constant requests for hand-outs is getting irritating. Hopefully GB just ignore it.

I'm down, but I'm a noob just a fair warning. D:
Yo daaaamn. This shit made me crack up hard, because it's true. I have no clue how you guys keep up with all this stuff. I only listen to the bombcast and watch UPF weekly. I barely have time for the quick looks, I may watch them when I hear people rave about certain ones. I got such a big backlog of GB content to watch. Sometimes I feel like it's too much content. Especially since I want to jump in on one of the DP endurance runs.
You are the best. Keep fighting the good fight.
Jeff even mentioned it was pretty strange of them doing a second crowdfund without completing the first yet. Now they've got a third? I highly doubt we'll see any content dedicated to it (aside from a passing mention on the Bombcast/TNT etc).
Also, I love Tim Schafer (Grim Fandango is my favourite game ever made), but when he said they're getting away from the publisher model, I hoped he had other ideas than just crowdfunding everything.
I corrected my post, it was a Humble Bundle campaign to fund their annual 'amnesia fortnight', not an actual Kickstarter.
Constant handouts? They've done one Kickstarter and sold some of their games as a bundle. Games aren't made for cheap you know, and funding is hard to get from publishers ever more reluctant to make anything that isn't another AAA action game.

Err, it's the first kickstarter project led by him.

They're making Fire Emblem. All your opinions are invalid.

Little by little, I'm breaking through.
The biggest obstacle I see in the way of my campaign to get them to cover a 3 year old game, which happens to be my own current fixation, is Brad's Dota 2 obsession.

Looks like Brad Muir grew up and got a real job in the big city - he will be too busy to come around to play any more.
I shall miss him.
I shall miss him.

dat video. Look what DOTA has done to him....
How in the world did Brad get the "bad at games" meme.

Nah, it was way before that. "Pulling a Brad" was a meme during the GameSpot days.
Though, it should be common knowledge that Ryan is actually the worst at video games.

Not the same as it picking up though, the stats don't lie

I understand that talking and playing a game at the same time is a difficult task, but this QL was truly horrible to watch. Good platformer, in my opinion at least, is defined by the feel of flow that is generated by you constantly moving forward and jumping on / dodging the enemies while picking up all, or at least the most essential, collectibles. While I don't expect flawless runs through the levels, I'd expect them to even try doing that in small segments to show that it is possible and that the game can support different playstyles (again, not expecting them to show everything). In this particular QL I just feel Ryan is a sloppy player and that makes the game look bad as well.
