Also gross sweaty fat guys are one of the reasons I never attend video game expos, so I agree it would be nice if GB kept themselves presentable when doing a kinect/move QL.

You're a fuckwit
 
Since Ryan is a slightly larger gentleman, he is bound to sweat a bit more than others. Add to that filming in confined areas, all the lights in the studio and madly jumping around, of course he won't look his best on camera. That's why GB works so well. Relaxed guys having fun with games.

Posting a differing opinion in reply to a previous message is considered trolling here? I thought this forum was a hang out for gamers, not veterans of the Gestapo or KGB.

I'm actually giving you the benefit of the doubt. You might not be a troll, just someone who lacks the social graces that allow you to understand how to conduct a civilized discussion without seeming like a troll. It's very common in us nerds; maybe you think the ad hominems actually make your point stronger. I'd suggest you tone it down, because this place is too busy for mods to be able to give junior members the benefit of the doubt.

I use 'ad hominem'? What do you call the replies to my messages then, enlightened discourse? I also think it's funny how you're throwing around threats of a ban all while saying you're giving me 'the benefit of the doubt'. If the moderators here have a totalitarian urge to silence any critical opinions about a video game website than that's the most pathetic thing I've ever seen on the internet, truly a remarkable feat considering the competition.

For the record I never directly insulted anyone on this forum. I stated that I find Endurance Runs useless, which I shouldn't have even needed to because this is a QL topic. I implied that the sort of person who'd watch other guys play videogames for dozens of hours may be the sort of person considered a social outcast by society at large, aka a loser or nerd. I gave my casual opinion on a couple obscure Japanese video games, and if that offends someone to the point of calling it "baseless SLANDER" I have to ask where have you been? How do get by if something so trivial upsets you?

I'd assume people who spend a lot of time on video game forums would be used to people who have the audacity to insult a video game or video game related video (OH THE HUMANITY). If you're the sort of person who gets mad over any of that than I will call you a loser, because only an internet dwelling shut-in would be up in arms for reasons as petty as those.

Some other guy said that my 4 posts in this 240 page topic are ruining this thread. Well, either I'm the god of forum trolls or you're overreacting. Of course it's the people replying to me who derail the topic every time I post. I get it, I hurt your precious feelings, you don't need to make half-a-dozen or more replies saying variations of "U SO STUPID >:(".

Now back on the topic of Giant Bomb Quick Looks. Here’s a QL related video I made that I hope calms everyone down. You like internet video game comedy right? Then you’ll love

This is some masterful trolling, right here
 
Well, really, anyone who posts in the gaming side of NeoGAF is probably a shut in loser nerd of some kind, let alone a troll.

Do you have any problem with Rifftrax though? I'm curious, because those guys are basically making a living having sad shut-in nerds pay them to hear them complain about movies during the actual movie.

Yeah, just like the I consider the guys who watch other guys play [insert sport X] for dozens of hours social outcasts. The society at large doesn't like that I spend time watching others play games? The society at large probably spends more time watching others have sex than I spent watching GiantBomb Endurance Runs anyways...

So much projection going on here. A psychologist could have a field day with your post.

I know right? It's like he's literally railing on every insecurity he holds himself, anonymous on an internet forum.

He really cares.
 
Christ! This thread became a shit show.

Love GB and their quick looks, there one of my main sources on how to gauge a game if I should be interested. Love the guys, find them all informed & most importantly on my wavelength when it comes to my hobby.

Look forward to seeing whats up this week.
 
Oh hrtdy098u7 you so crazy...except not in a way that either funny or insightful, please move on you are making some of us uncomfortable.

Now for something on topic: Did i miss the Tactics ogre quick look? It's pretty weird because they mentioned one in like 3 I love mondays. Or they showed the game in one of the Happy hours i don't watch? Weird.

I really hope they do a QL for it, if they haven't already. I don't have the membership benefits so I didn't see it in the happy hour.

They didn't end up doing the Pokemon Black/White quicklook either. :(
 
Bahaha. Even the dude's youtube channel consists of that one video.

Either that's some serious dedication in his Giantbomb Crusade of Hate or someone from Giantbomb is on this account trying to fuck with us.
 
pretty sure they have had 0 tactics ogre coverage so far, definitely not on the live show.

also a few othe psp games they have skipped

On topic, Yakuza 4 actually looks great. A little bit slow, sure, but seems like a really enjoyable experience if you have the patience.
Click to expand...
Yakuza 4 does have cutsceneitis, but the part the QL showed was one of the slowest parts of the first half of the game, easy. There is plenty of gameplay to be had, it's definitely the best Yazuka IMO (though I never played Yak 1).
 
God I want El Shaddai. Is it supposed to be an international release or something? I find it weird that it's not out in Japan yet, Shane said they're working on the voice stuff right now, they're obviously showing it off, but it's not even up on Amazon, Gamestop, or whatever as a preorder.

The best aspect of hrtdy098u7's posts is the aura of "I'm no nerd, I refuse to watch someone else play a game and just so you know, I don't waste much of my time posting on nerdy things as video game message boards". Yet here s/he is getting all riled up about the most miniscule things, acting like the worst type of nerd.
Click to expand...
I love that his posts probably take more time to write out than it would take to watch an episode of an er or a ql.
Dude cares so much about video game videos on the intertrons.

El Shaddai looks incredible, but to say Creme Eggs aren't good? Baffling.
Click to expand...

Creme Eggs are horrible, can't even stand the adverts. It's all about the mini-eggs.

Like the look of El Shaddai, seems Aizen has snuck into another game.
