Everything's the same as it always is.
I think video games much like card and board games should be fun and entertaining. I will not apologize for this blatant bigotry.

Fun is just a buzzword when you can't actually think of any real reasons as to why a game is good.

Monopoly was created as a satire of capitalism.

likewise videogames that make statements are boring and suck donkey balls.

I've just realized how terrible the giant bomb site layout is. The articles seem to be sorted by random and to read the goty lists you have to scroll way down. happy new year everyone

It makes no sense and also the search function is awful. I can't just search for something I gotta make sure I'm not accidentally using their really bad wiki engine which is the default setting.

Also lol at "fun". It's why I don't play horror games.

*Andrew Swan is called in to see the latest NPD numbers*

"loving disgrace" he says as he reads that Mario kart 8 has topped the sales charts right behind Smash brothers.

"16 characters and not a single black woman of power, unfuckingacceptable how can people play a game if they're not represented in it?"

He leans back in his chair and ponders "How can we open up games like this to everyone else?"

I mean I loving love Dynasty Warriors games but if I worked at Giant Bomb I would not sulk and argue for hours on end that Hyrule Warriors should be on the top ten games of the year list. It's a shame because I think Brad is pretty cool but he needs to know when to quit.

I used to like brad because he was the "straight man" of the group but his incessant ennui is grating sometimes. Also the longer I watched the more I realized there was no "straight man"

is brad married? could you imagine having a hostile 3 hour conversation about what to order at a restaurant or which towels to buy at the store with his fat baby tantrum face?

I mean his argument was so weak that they had to go with "well the millions of people playing it can't be wrong", which is basically what he did with dota prior

millions of people are wrong all the time. he also barely expresses how much he likes the game as jeff poops all over it ever week. brad just meekly says "but theres something about it" for like 3 seconds. its been building forever.
