I haven't been watching the last few because it's a boring game to watch. Playing it is fun though

I think pubg content peaked with Vinny's car rampage. Other then that it's like watching someone who is terrible at the game try to play isaac over and over again never completing the first floor

watching PUBG being played expertly is really awesome, the giant bomb streams not so much. i like having em playing in the background though

i'm not disagreeing but i'm also not ready to pronounce this as the worst Dan Thing because there's just been so much over the years

I dunno about the Bombcast but Waypoint is well past the time where they don't realize that the fun they're having with PUBG doesn't really translate into good listening week after week.

I like that waypoint includes(included?) audio versions of all their articles. Haven't been to the site in months but I thought that was a unique feature.

Waypoint the site is whatever but it's a good podcast. Austin and Rob are both top tier, Danielle is good, Patrick is terrible.

We've passed the event horizon where Jeff's annual E3 burn isn't worth having to listen to him the rest of the segment

Patrick posted a story about how he almost got someone fired a while ago because they leaked information to him and asked him not to report it right away, and he promptly told the rest of his office, who immediately reached out to Sony for comment.

quote:

Our conversation eventually touched upon the idea of breaking the news that Barlog was leaving, and while my source didn't have a problem with me using the information, he wanted me to wait a few weeks. Emotions were raw within Sony Santa Monica, and having this break into the open, which would immediately invite speculation about why he was leaving, which would make things worse. My source asked me to sit on the news because using it earlier could put them at risk. I agreed; I was playing by their rules, not mine.

I ended up casually mentioning the news to a few people in the office, discussing what it means for Sony and God of War, and letting them know we'd have a pretty cool scoop to break in the near future. Not long after, I got pulled into a meeting. When it was over, I'd been told that we got confirmation from Sony that Barlog was leaving and we could run a story. Sony had sent over a statement, which means it was official, not a sourced rumor.

What the gently caress?

I hadn't authorized anyone to reach out to Sony. In fact, that's the opposite of what my sourced had asked. With a mixture of confusion, anger, and realizing the cat was fully out of the bag, I took the statement from Sony and began to write a story.

quote:

We spoke over the phone several times that evening. I tried to reassure them everything would be fine, that companies threaten to search network traffic all the time, but it doesn't usually amount to anything. (I was making that up. I had no idea.) This would all blow over.

What an rear end in a top hat

Goddamn it. He's a narc too?

I thought Vice had a rule. If you haven't done cocaine at least once you can't work there. Patrick is the type of dude that calls the cops if he smells weed in the hallway of a cheap hotel.

Dr. Walker, if you are reading this. Jettison that rear end wipe.

Edit: Mods please rename this to the thread to the "Patrick Klepek Hate Station."

Good evening. I'm Motherfucker Mike. Now, some of you may be wondering- "What is this cat up to? What's his plan tonight?" No plan. No jokes. Just a serious discussion on this countries borders and the safety of its people. That's why I- *puts on Lets Make America Great Again hat* fully intend to express my rights as an American and vote for Trump. Because it's time we tell those assbags in congress: "You're Fired!"
