neither of those names are familiar to me. *looks at his rolodex of video game journalists and becomes depressed at how empty it is, as he failed to keep up to date on the names of grown men who write about the cultural impact of video games in our tumultuous 21st century world*

They should have hired Kesler and Lemon to do their horror game quicklooks and Patrick to eat gross poo poo they get sent in the mail.

Let me jog your memory with their most defining writing traits then

Matt "three words in every sentence are hyperlinks to giant bomb wiki pages no matter how obscure" Kessler

And Brad "Kotaku/joystiq/Destructoid/the National Enquirer is reporting this thing I am quoting and rephrasing so it sounds like I did some actual work" Nicholson

Dan chooses to be a human character because he can identify with humans more than the other races.

Dan's backstory is ridiculous and that of a character higher than 1st level. He is a veteran fighter that got hurt and changed his fighting style to rise through the ranks once again and then he got knighted by defeating some legendary fighter dude.

This is Ric Flair. He's just describing Ric Flair's history. He beat a "Man of nature" and took his title. His last name is Horseman. He's been divorced 4 times.

Word. For all his apparent "pedigree" as a news hound, he maybe had three actual unique "breaking the story" articles in his entire time at GB. The rest was barely above the level of Brad Nicholson reposting other peoples news bits. That, and long articles about "Why you should play these terrible indie games that will be forgotten next week."

A) I watched the Battlefield: Hardline QL which is really sick because Jeff is in a good mood and Dan is there for the ride. And B) the UPF this week is sick because Dan just keeps shooting people in the dick in slow motion while Dan, Rorie and Drew get more upset while Jeff laughs harder and harder.

I liked them talking about fun and interesting stuff you can do in d&d for five minutes and then Jeff chimes in with "I DON'T LIKE D&D, NOTHING ABOUT IT APPEALS TO ME."

That's just Jeff though. Nothing, at all, ever, appeals to him. Except CoD.

He's become one of the "Elder Statesman" of game journalism in a way, and yet the guy is basically still 15 years old in the brain. Everything sucks, nothing is worthy, shutupmom gotta 360 NOSCOPE these whack-rear end chinese fools.
