Don't they make that PAX joke every year. Sort of, "never going to top that, might as well shut it down".

Yeah, those kind of comments worry me. They make references to it more and more lately.

Really hoping everything is okay structurally over there.

They don't seem angry about it though, maybe a little frustrated. Just budget wrangling and the BS red tape that comes with working for a huge dinosaur of a corporation. They were also promised growth but, although traffic has gone up, I don't think any game sites are making money at the moment.. Jeff and Vinny both speak highly of the people above them, it is just the corporate structure that can be restrictive, especially coming from a startup.
 
If shit was really hitting the fan and their future was uncertain, I doubt we'd be hearing jokes about it.

CBSi is just doing what corporates do.

I agree with this. The first time you heard anything at Whiskey has going south was when they announced the sale. They are very tight lipped about the serious stuff.

Or, rather, when Kara Swisher from AllThingsD got the scoop and reported on it hours before GiantBomb announced the sale :p

I remember that. I wonder whoo leaked. Either way, things must have been bleak when they were looking for buyers and they were not all cracking jokes about running out of money.

FYI, we'll be getting Unprofessional this week on Thursday rather than Friday!

Don't know how you all feel about this but I'm pretty happy! I have classes on friday nights this semester.
 
oh geez

I figured out the lion/eagle thing back when I played War Thunder, but that's all out the window now that I'm watching this quicklook.
 
I promise you that Jeff will hate it.

I like other Japanese rhythm games, but I found the demo very difficult to play and not much fun. Maybe if I had to stick with it my eyes would have adjusted, but yeah. Figures that this is what they break out the PS3 for. I think it'll be a fun QL.
 
Miku's a pretty good game, but I'm not sure how they'll respond to it. Though I hope anime editor Brad Shoemaker is on the job.

From what I understand it's a pretty good rhythm game, but I'm sure they'll hate the actual songs, and of course make fun of the whole otaku fanservice angle.
