I don't get why Griffin/Justin can't just make a normal goddamn video game podcast, but I guess they used to do one at Joystiq so maybe it's just tread ground for them?

Cool games inc is a good podcast Further reinforcing how it is Objectively True that Griffin is, in fact, the best brother

Yea between being a dad and MBMBAM stuff doesn't Justin actually have a fairly serious title at Polygon? Like, some level of management not just some writer anymore? I imagine of all the bros he probably has the least free time by far.

it's hard to overstate how public zeitgeist-y Hamilton is btw like i remember reading some Onion-esque article titled "Okay, okay, I'll go see Hamilton" that played on the concept of how that's the New Thing everyone tells everyone else to see after they see it like an annoying rear end in a top hat

Undeclared Eggplant posted:He used to be Managing Editor. I've really enjoyed his work with Polygon. Like most people I stopped following game review sites a long time ago and before listening to MBMBaM I only knew Polygon as "that site that made a documentary about themselves that was paid for by Microsoft" but giving him a platform to just be his bonkers self is rad as hell. Even before Monster Factory his casual quick plays and his weird one-offs videos have been great. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASwnEtMF3fo

I wonder if any of the Ethics In Games Journalism crowd is using the fact that Griffin has so many big celebs vouching for him as proof that Polygon is totes corrupt.

They already hate Polygon because there's a lot of articles about women and minorities in gaming on Polygon compared to other sites, and they let women write op/eds sometimes. drat SJWs ruin everything

Toxxupation posted:it's especially absurd since there's so many other, far more legitimate reasons to hate polygon Basically anyone outside of the original Besties has bad opinions. It's also just basically turned into a different Kotaku at this point. Hopefully Griffin's vanity projects can save them.

I did listen to it today and it's pretty great. I wonder how racist Founding Father worshipers handle his show. I'm guessing not well. I also hope he EGOTs because he is awesome and EGOT is fun.

remember that time arthur gies went on twitter bragging about how microsoft paid them 750k when they were starting and they honestly expected to be treated seriously literally ever after that about anything related to the xbox one family of products it's cool when your editor in chief literally fuckin brags about losing all journalistic integrity irt one of the manufacturers of the products you're ostensibly supposed to critique

Yea one of the best examples about how...let's call them certain factions...don't give a poo poo about actual ethics in journalism is that there are legit things to say 'ok well I kinda don't trust any review coming from you after these past examples of you being dumb and shady' but instead they focus on 'AND IN A REVIEW SAYING HOW GREAT WITCHER 3 IS HE ALSO MENTIONED IT WAS A BIT LAME THAT LIKE ALL FANTASY GAMES IT'S BASICALLY ALL WHITE PEOPLE WITH poo poo LIKE ELVES AND DWARFS REPRESENTING MINORITIES THAT loving CORRUPT LOSER'.
