 Polygon is a video game journalism company owned by Vox Media. Apparently they review games and write walkthroughs or something, but this thread is mostly about their entertainment content, which includes several weekly shows on YouTube and a web show/podcast, The Polygon Show. https://twitter.com/Pizza_Suplex/status/963467735396167682 CURRENT PROGRAMMING The Polygon Show  Four cool ladies talk about current video game news and which Overwatch player they want to kiss the most. UPDATE: As of 10/12/17 The Polygon Show has pivoted to video! Look for streams on Twitter, Thursdays at 5:00 PM EST. Awful Squad  A bunch of idiots try to play PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds. Game Ogre  "Long ago, Pat and Simone were cursed by a powerful game wizard. Now at the wizard's cruel whim, they transform into a lumbering, two-headed beast, and must overcome challenging game trials lest they ever remain...GAME OGRE." - Justin McElroy's narration in the intro WEEK IN REVUE  Polygon's newest hire Brian David Gilbert (BDG) provides a one minute long recap of weekly game news in rhyming couplet form every Friday. Monster Factory  Griffin and Justin McElroy use character creation engines to create their own precious children. Video Game Theatre  Simone, Pat, and others from the Polygon crew reenact (in)famous cutscenes from classic video games. The Besties  Monthly show in which Griffin and Justin are joined by Chris Plante and Russ to discuss the best games released that month. Audio only, also has a podcast feed if that's your thing Let's Play the Baseball Game  Allegra and Pat watch every opening video in a particular series such as Kingdom Hearts or Crash Bandicoot. Gets its name from this ridiculous song. BACK CATALOG Please Retweet - Producer Pat tries to get Nintendo's official twitter account to retweet his very good picture of Toad. SEO Play - Host Simone asks all the hard hitting questions the internet has to offer about new games. Griffin's Amiibo Corner - Griffin McElroy reviews every aspect of Nintendo's lovable collectibles, Amiibos. Pokemon Y Nuzlocke run - Pokemon Y run done with Nuzlocke rules applied by Griffin McElroy, featuring live commentary. PeaceCraft - Griffin tries to complete various tasks as a pacifist gnome named Raandyy in World of Warcraft. Lots of fan interaction as the series progresses. Car Boys - Perhaps one of Polygon's most popular series but not often discussed anymore due to the inclusion of now-pariah Nick Robinson. If you're able to get past that, there's a lot of very funny content in this series and even a great conclusion. Touch the Skyrim - Another Griffin + Nick collabo joint. Also very funny but due to how horny it gets about mid run paired with the fact that Nick Robinson co-hosts, it hasn't aged particularly well. CoolGames Inc - Nick + Griffin again. A weekly video game design podcast that is now decidedly ended, but there are some funny animations of some of the highlights in this playlist. FINALLY, I'D LIKE TO LEAVE YOU WITH THIS VERY GOOD PICTURE OF TOAD:  Jan. 22 edit: Added Game Ogre and WEEK IN REVUE, moved SEO Play to the back catalog. timp fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Feb 13, 2018 |

Paul Zuvella posted:I heard Nick Robinson was a creep is it true, thread? to give a little more detail, since I have a weird feeling this is gonna come back up otherwise: yes. very very yes. he had a seriously bad reputation for that poo poo among game devs, they just never said anything because they didn't want to gently caress up their relationship with Polygon. then he crapped on Overcooked on twitter and the floodgates opened, because many of those devs just didn't want to loving deal with him anymore regardless of how it affected their relationship with Polygon. Polygon fired his rear end almost immediately and we don't talk about Car Boys anymore, the end.

Gumball Gumption posted:Is this the thread where I poo poo on Polygon for liking games and having feelings? Yes, also the place to ask questions about former Polygon staffer Nick Robinson Seriously though, I expect at least a little bit of Nick chat - obviously it's certainly on topic for this thread - but I'm hoping that sooner rather than later we can all just, y'know...move on. The whole thing is lovely, let's just put it behind us and focus on the man who will carry Nick's workload going forward:

It's cool to see a bunch of new video content from him now that he's lost several shows from his workload, but he doesn't even have a good report with Russ. Not that many people could.

Simone and Allegra playing Tetris is the best because Simone doesn't slowly lose it; she start out having irreparably lost her it, and things go downhill from there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbm5W3NGBio

Around minute 4 Simone makes a joke about her and Nick shopping around a series where they play Peggle called "Get Pegged with Nick and Simone" that does not feel good in hindsight.
