I just listened to Justin doing a rant about how awful it is to eat vegetables on the PUBG review update and I was going, wait, aren't you the guy who's essentially on a veg-only diet?

Anyway, people who don't like the entire vegetable family are sheltered nerdlords and should be ashamed.

He's on a low carb diet that's heavy on proteins and uses beans as the major starch.

Each of the McElroys is pretty on the record as having terrible eating habits. They did an entire episode on pizza rolls, afterall.

Justin stopped eating fruit once because he was worried about the sugar in them. He has a weird relationship to food that seems to land him in a different fad diet every year.

Justin also has an entire video series dedicated to trying new packaged snack foods from a gas station (that you should watch)

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Is Polygon like a Forbes where there is a core group of writers + online personalities, but they also have "contributors" who can be literally anyone?

Think so. Our forums own slowbeef has written one or two articles for them.

Griffin just retweeted an excellent Awful Squad Trailer by Joss Hendren. It really emphasizes the brutal, gritty, no-nonsense nature of the show.

This particularly rapid💨 unintelligible 😖patter💁 isn't generally heard🧏‍♂️, and if it is🤔, it doesn't matter💁.


I'm working my way backward in the Polygon show but have also listened to episode 1, just in case. I find it really appealing that they never explicitly say "This is the Polygon show, and we're all women." It's just the Polygon show with Polygon hosts, and they don't need to call out how unusual it is to have a four-gamer podcast that's all-female.

I am a woman, and I (think) I can perceive the ways in which they talk with each other that are different than the way mixed-sex or all-male groups talk, but it pleases me that they're treating "all-woman" as no more unusual than "all-man".

ꜱʜʀɪᴍᴘ?
listening to the latest besties, i know i'm awful but hearing russ talk about the 'problems' with xcom's design in comparison to Mario+Rabbids made me so angry I was shouting at the podcast on my way home. what part of '33% chance to hit' is a math problem? xcom 2 literally breaks down the percentage chance on each shot so you know what factors are in play. what do you mean reinforcements happen unexpectedly and gently caress up your plan? THEY ARE ANNOUNCED! WITH FLARES!

Russ' specialty is pretty obviously platformers. He can be funny, occasionally, but not on his own. Overall, I like Russ.

I don't think Angus would ever purposefully pilot one of the bureau pods into a bale of hay or anything, so not quite.

Russ was very good at Seplunkey, and is ostensibly pretty good at Cuphead.

Yeah, I appreciate this too. Which reminds me, the thread title kinda bugs me even though I know it was just thought up on the spur of the moment and it's a McElroy thing, but Polygon feels like one of the very few gaming-oriented places on the internet that isn't home of boys (and girls). It's just boys and girls and sometimes four of them host a flagship podcast together with 0 fanfare.

Yeah I know, it's bothered me too. Like you say though, I was under some pressure to get the thread up somewhat quickly and the title just stuck.

I'm definitely open to a thread title change. Any suggestions?
