Gies really needs to rein it in...he's not helping.
Oh my god.
Did you read that 3DSXL review??? It's just like every decent review I've ever read about a piece of hardware.
THEY ARE NOT AFRAID TO GO THERE!

Girl. She's tattooing a giant douchebag. I think it's some sort of commentary on women in the workplace.
LMAO
DUDE. Holy Shit, this thread is delivering like mutherfucking Domino's.
GiantBomb's Patrick also made a remix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGB66-qIOKo&feature=youtu.be
I think the clear winner from this Polygon documentary is GiantBomb, basically.

Jesus CHRIST.
This keeps getting fucking better. I want a video of the Giant Bomb offices as they watched the original trailer.
Yeah, but they are linking the original and sort of raising awareness about Polygon. Basically what the Polygon guys want.
GB seems pretty close with a few of these dudes.

Someone with more talent than myself should put this shit to the Titanic theme.
Gies already had his Kickstarter and it was exclusively funded by NeoGAF members.

Self indulgent shite.
Pfffft, got left behind on a previous page, screw y'all 
This is just gold. Absolute gold. The GB crew HAVE to do a piss-take of this next week in video form, surely?!
Additionally:
You know how the Giant Bomb crew announce their site update? They sit in a podcast studio, drink coke zero, get "UH-PROVED!" family members and take Skype calls. Take feckin' note.

Caravella you magnificient bastard.
That said, I think there's been enough piling on and criticism now - more exposure and more talk is just what they want at this point, so if you truly, really want to discourage Polygon from continuing down this route, just stop. Stop talking about it, stop posting about it, just let it rot and die in some corner of the internet. Any more attention and you're playing into their hands again.

They've had most of the Polygon-dudes on the Bombcast at some point. I'm sure they're friends, and they don't mind 'raising awareness' or anything. This documentary just seems like a stupid thing that deserves mockery. GiantBomb is pretty good at doing stupid stuff. Maybe even the best at it. And so they did.

Vinny wins, of course.
But the real joke here is "presented by Internet Explorer."

Well, they are, you know, professionals.
Apart from the smugness of Polygon's Teaser and Giant Bomb tongue in Cheek humor is probably for the best that they dont want to actually generate a site war or actual salty blow of proportions Internet Drama

Now we need to see Jeff and Brad's versions. And Dave and Drew's.
I'm thinking Jeff's has some Dubstep and halfway through just changes to Track Mania 2.
EDIT: didn't see Patrick's take.

Patrick already posted, It was good.
Generally, you say that you're going to do something before you do it. You don't do it and then say you will. That doesn't make any sense.
"Hi, we're Polygon, and this is our intent."
Whether they live up to that is on them.
Frankly, I like what I've seen so far. The editorial articles (loved the Arkane one) strike me as fairly fantastic, and unlike a lot of sites I've seen, them seem to scoop some stuff early.

Brain slug problems?
Rebel FM took donations from people. They got a lot more donations than they could possibly spend on stuff directly related to producing a podcast.
So they used a small amount of it to buy a gaming PC for someone who's been on literally 100+ episodes of the podcast, who couldn't afford the PC for himself, and has directly used that PC to talk about games played on that PC on almost every single one of those 100+ episodes.
Bitch about Arthur Gies, Rebel FM, and Polygon all you want, but this "donation-gate" stuff is pure nonsense. They used their donations on a way that has directly improved the podcast for more than two years, on a person who uses the donation in the best way possible.

Incredible!
What is it with this Arthur Gies guy? I followed him on Twitter for a while but he doesn't seem to be an asshole for the most part, except his pathetic performance on Twitter today of course. Is he like, really bad at what he does (games journalism) or something.
