well, i guess they can’t go ad-less forever. if it bugs you that much you could always buy a t-shirt and then turn on adblock.

I was more than happy to subscribe to Gamespot years back to get rid of ads. I might consider it for GiantBomb as well, depending on pricing.

good point. i’d be open to a sensibly price subscription system too. it would atleast give people some choice.
Which show had her on it? Gotta see what all the haterade is about.
No, you don’t.
She wasn’t terrible [bad female guests and speakers always seem to get more criticism than bad male guests and speakers (ESPECIALLY FROM MS-OGYNIST-STEVE)], but she certainly didn’t do a good job, and is not worth seeking out.
just bought a Giant Bomb shirt
Anyway, I can’t believe the Endurance Run is still going on, but I love the site for doing it. I don’t know how the staff justifies the time sink to their corporate overlords.
I’m, uh, Moggraider on that site if you guys want to be, uh, Bomb Buddies.

Just sent you a friend request. I’m Zerot there.
Too bad there isn’t group functionality (yet).
God. ListenUp needs to have someone on there who has the job of taking the mic away from Garnett and slapping him on the back of the head when he refuses to shut up. I’ve already bitched about his bizarre whining about Prototype in that thread, but when David Ellis starts talking about playing Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory on X-Box Originals and that the co-op mode involved enemies who could hear your communications, I wanted someone to defenestrate Garnett when he kept saying “Manhunter says hi!” Fuck you, Garnett! In Manhunter it’s a gimmick. In Chaos Theory’s co-op game it’s obviously a very core aspect of it. You can play Manhunter without the headset, you can’t communicate at all without it in Chaos Theory. They made it a major part of the experience and I wish you would have shut the fuck up so David Ellis could speak, because it sounded really goddam interesting!

Charlie got Chie pregnant because popularity leads to intimacy.

Between Garnett never shutting up and David Ellis starting every opinion with “The graphics…” or “It looks…”, I’m really starting to get tired of this show. The whole segment where they played fortune teller about MS’s new Xbox plans (and has propagated into actual NEWS around the internet) really rubbed me the wrong way, as well.
Really, I only listen for John Davison.
I generally don’t listen to our own podcasts because I work here and basically experience the podcasts continuously for most of the day (especially with my office being next to Garnett’s), but did he really call Manhunt “Manhunter?” I’d love to give him shit about confusing the R* stealth-snuff game with the original Hannibal Lecter movie starring the CSI duder.
Oh, no, he probably didn’t. That’s likely all me. I DIDN’T HAVE A PS2! DON’T JUDGE ME! :(
Man. Now I feel like some kind of activist judge. Manhunter and the Evil of Resident Creek are games that are bad for our kids!
But don’t let that keep you from giving Garnett shit anyways.
Yeah! Tell 'im to learn to play Prototype before bitching that the controls are too good.
And give Dave a pat on the back for the crack about Prototype’s New York being like when they shoot a movie in Vancouver. Highlight of the whole discussion!
And then tell him to take it easy on Milo - he’s just a kid, fergodssake!
Giant Bomb needs a t shirt that says ‘Are you a cop?’ and then in smaller text ‘You have to tell me if you are.’

I would buy a “yip” t-shirt.
As well as a “Popularity leads to Intimacy” themed one.
I cheered when they

finally asked Chie to be their girlfriend. I also like how nothing changed during the Investigation team meeting, and they were like… uhh… “So Chie and I…”
Classic.
I spit out my iced tea when they asked about Teddie and Jeff said that he was living in a box behind the liquor store. I just about died laughing and choking.

The Official EA Podcast has made it’s debut (no iTunes link yet), hosted by none other than Mr-Sir-Black-Dragon himself, Jeff Green.
“Its.”
Shit. I’d totally listen to this cuz of Jeff Green, but I figure he’d be way less interesting in a corporate product such as this one. Is he? For example, I think Out of the Game is hurt in regards to game talk too, with everyone employed by game companies.
Yeah, how can this not be anything more than a marketing tool?
That goes without saying, but if it’s interesting, is that necessarily detrimental?
