Griffin should definitely play Cook, Serve, Delicious, it is manic enough to fit his al dente taste.
i am surprised they have not collaborated with bonerman, inc. yet

Disgusted by the meme-machine he has become, Griffin goes on a self-imposed exile to South Africa at the height of his popularity

please he is already a divine being of pure light traversing the cosmos to the sound of carly rae jaepsen tunes

Dave Lang is the CEO of Iron Galaxy, the studio that made Divekick and Iron Brigade. He is also a man that repeatedly gets drunk on camera with the Vice President of Disney Interactive, which always leads to disaster.

Iron Brigade is a Double Fine title, Wreckateer is a more emblematic game from Iron Galaxy portfolio

I'm genuinely worried that MBMBaM will devolve into a "dads talking about their kids/parenting" podcast.

Yes, yes, I know it's practically memetic at this point, but I've gone through enough frustration with favorite indie comedians who swear up and down that being a dad won't change their acts/they'll complain about how annoying "dad comedian" humor is and like two years later they're wearing plaid shirts and talking about how little Timmy took his first steps or some really cutesy anecdote about something young Mandy did. They lose all their edge and it's really unfortunate, pretty much the only person I've seen transition to "being a dad" humor well was Patton Oswalt and that was largely because he still made it about how much of a depressed fuckup he was, and how he suddenly had obligations to be a happier person beyond himself. Pretty much everybody else just loses their edge and what makes them compelling, and I really hope that doesn't happen with my three favorite goodboys.

look at all those words

I am in no way making GBS threads on Griffin, but at what point do we expect to the Polygon series of him and some other dude breaking out a box of legos and laughing -so hard- at how wacky the shapes are

Thanks for the notes, I'll try harder in the future. The joke as conceived was a light-hearted jab at what I perceived to be a disconnect between the seemingly mundane inanities of what Griffin and co are playing and the uproarious laughter that ensues. Legos, a block toy for autistic children, serving as a hyperbolic example.

Obviously I'm in the minority, but hey that's just more great content for you guys :)

There is nothing mundane in being able to make a 100% Bart Simpson in a MMORPG

appropriately, I started listening to Friends at the Table recently and it's mindblowing how much better a GM Austin is compared to Griffin

Austin's podcast is a reminder that tabletop rpgs are still awful and embarassing, despite the best efforts of tres horny boys.

Austin jumping into it from the start made me believe it
He is one of the more level-headed dudes in that games clique and an EIC of a website in a serious organisation, he wouldn't throw poo poo on a fellow gamesperson from the same circle if it wasn't something concrete and damning

I think the CGI format could definitely continue under a different name with a different cohost because 80% of the entertainment came from Griffin and the suggestions themselves.

Amy Nicholson continued Canon podcast without Devin Faraci after that scumbag got destroyed overnight, but I don't see any of Nick/Griff projects moving forward, the brand relied way too much on the friendly attitude and community interaction.

I assume Nick's was similar.

Nick was a full-time employee and Vox did not purchase his pre-existing brand, so they can't be similar.
Nothing crazy in it aside from the extremely lowball price, but Bro team guy is a psycho so he probably freaked out when he discovered that selling your property means selling it.

Yes, because defending the possibility of a $7/hour minimum wage retail worker stuck in the crushing dystopia of hawking bullshit in the mall is all actually a cover to hate women!!!

Y'know, maybe if a man wasn't hiding in the bushes filming this confrontation/interaction for social media clout, it would be easier to take these arguments more seriously, but that specific mentality which led to this behavior and was met with pretty obvious backlash for pretty specific reasons is what people are not seeing here.

I originally peeped this thread out of curiosity to see the reaction from McElroy fans, and the fact that someone responded with what was essentially arguing that the only reason anyone might take issue with it is because there's a CBD cult coordinating "harassment" against anyone who takes issue with it was the reason I spoke up in the first place.

To see your side of the argument, you have to make assumptions about the facts that do not hold up under scrutiny. Coming up with all these post-hoc justifications because we finally found the one usecase to publicly humiliate a retail employee is what people are finding incredibly disturbing, not this imaginary "CBD Illuminati" which is what I originally came in here to address.


Hmm. No it isn't. Nobody responding negatively is trying to defend CBD's honor.

It's pretty obvious what exactly the controversy is about, and it's beyond arguing over the usecases of CBD oil. Regardless of your post-hoc justifications for it, it's still yet another episode of an evergrowing genre of White People Stereotypes.
