E3, traveling, health issues, and the mcelroys leaving all happened at the same time, but they've already said that new series will be happening once stuff is done getting in the way.

Also I really dig FiendZone. It seems like fairly basic level genre dissection stuff, but it's in an easily digestible format and the stuff is covers is not something I would describe myself as actively thinking about, so having Jenna point this stuff out to me is neat.

It's really weird that Gill & Gilbert isn't even promoed on Youtube any more and you have to go to the super secret bit.ly link, or follow Polygon on Twitch, to watch it.

?? I just search for the Gill and Gilbert playlist on YouTube, polygon adds the vod a few days after it goes up on twitch. No secret links or twitch required!

As a big fan of both Polygon and Drawfee I wasn't sure who to root for, but of course Julia is completely in her element at the helm of a weird dark orb covered in teeth. Who could match that kind of synergy.

Regarding the recent lack of content, Tara posted this over in Polygon Pals:

quote:

hey y’all, tara here 👋🏻 just wanna clear up a few things before ppl assume the worst!

1) e3 pretty much destroyed everyone 🙂 three-fifths of our team got sick. some of us ended up in the hospital. so the return to normalcy has been a bit slower than expected =|
2) vacations: a lot of us are on them now! july/august are the industry dead months so you may notice a dip in output from most gaming channels during this time (and honestly, who doesn’t need a vacation after e3???)
3) we’re v close to premiering new seasons of some of our current shows (jackbox returns this saturday, with an exclusive new game reveal!)
4) we know not everybody has the time to watching multiple hour-long streams every other day (lord knows i do not and it’s quite literally my job.) so while our streams have been pared down, we are hoping to do at least one big event (a la our mario tennis competish) at least monthly. and i totally hear y’all on the twitch thing - tbqh we’re still working on some of the logistics, but i’ll make sure in the future that we don’t leave our yt audience behind on stuff like that!

i don’t check this group ~super regularly~ but if y’all ever have questions about anything, please don’t hesitate to hit me up on twitter! if anything, it gives me an excuse to use twitter more

Vitamin C doesn't help.

Wash your hands; act under the assumption everyone else was just scratching their own rear end in a top hat; and STOP TOUCHING YOUR GODDAMN FACE.

You can still catch some airborne diseases but the average person touches their face almost three times a minute, and you're usually not washing properly between contact with strangers.

I worked security at a large Vegas hotel resort, and these tips kept me healthier than my co-workers.

I think that there is an acceptable number of child rape tweets you should be able to make without consequence. Moreover, I think that the number of child rape tweets James Gunn made was below this threshhold. i’m Nick

james gunn getting fired is still kinda bullshit because nobody knew or cared about these tweets until he criticized Trump and people started drudging poo poo up

don't get me wrong they're absolutely dumb, gross, and bad, but they're also like 10 years old

Nick's take on this is as lovely as Nick is. I know it's not the thread for this, but here are some better takes to understand why people are concerned or outraged about this

The conversation shouldn't be "Were Gunn's jokes offensive?" It should be "The alt-right is gaining power in its ability to silence Trump critics, how can we stop it?"

Yeah Gunn apologized for those tweets in 2012 nd everyone moved one. He's grown up a lot and has mostly shed his provocatuer persona.

That's why I said franchise, lol if you think Disney will give Taika Waititi another Thor movie.

Also yeah, devoid of context those tweets look bad (even with context it wouldn't be much better)

Hey, seeing Nick again reminded me that I just recently opened up Pokemon Sun for the first time in quite a while. Guess who my Decidueye is named after? drat it.
