    I sort of get why Alex is so polarizing now.

    e: By the way, what kind of beer were they drinking?

    Playing Persona 3 has taught me why all the comments thought they were so shitty as Persona 4

    I've been playing pretty efficiently, and you know what

    If they were 'good' at Persona 4, the Endurance Run would have been insanely boring to watch

    I just spent like 25 minutes mashing on X buying like 100 sodas out of a vending machine so I would have SP recovery items

    I agree. They took precisely enough information from comments and stuff to not get themselves stuck but still have to figure things out for themselves. I imagine they could have spent a long time on the Yukiko fight if not for the info they had, and who knows it may have prematurely ended their run.

    In the market for a 40" gong. Zildjian retails at $2300, Sabian at around $1600. Unsure if I'd notice the difference.

    As a former percussionist I fear that he has no idea how to properly use a gong and will just bang it really hard

    Yeah I think if you're buying a 40" gong for a small suburban home you aren't going to be able to put it to any use other than to bang really hard

    And removing things like the animation of Charlie and Yousuke chowing down on the girls' food for technical limitations really takes something away from the game

    (I think that's what happened. Maybe I'm just thinking of P3 PSP)

    So there is a bigger redesign going on for the site.

    I've been comfortable with the transition so far but hopefully it isn't too dramatic, I like the site as it is right now.

    I think they need to put an adbox or two on the main page. They're not monetizing nearly enough, and I don't want CBSi to bring the hammer down on them

    As long as it's stuff they want to do and not a thing where they need to be more in line with gamespot or whatever

    But honestly if ads show up I won't feel too bad blocking them now

    cbsi is probably not hurting for cash

    They definitely need that, and if it isn't invasive then I'm cool with it. The fact that there's a premium video going up about likely means that there's going to be big changes.

    Alternatively: Clone Khoo.

    What makes me feel a bit better is that they made it a specific point that they're not becoming Gamespot 2, but we'll find out soon enough.

    I don't mind ads that aren't super obtrusive. The AV Club has the worst ads, oddly enough.

    But if GiantBomb isn't bringing in GiantBucks, CBSi is going to start making their own changes, and that should be avoided at all costs.

    Yea. Social media/advertising bars, full-page pre-load ads, anything with sound, and mouseovers are absolute garbage. Ads should be moderately sized and unobtrusive.

    If it takes youtube ads during their videos I am honestly ok with that, I barely notice those things while watching videos and can tolerate ads upon loadup.

    That meebo bar was what got me to start paying for the whiskey media subscription. Not the videos, or any of the premium content. That fucking stupid bar.

    Doesn't look too much different, but there's a lot missing at that point. I think the biggest overhaul is going to be the Wiki, they actually have to get off the Whiskey Media system and start using some new stuff. I think this stream is going to be less 'this is what the new design is going to be' and more "what do you guys want us to change?".

    Give me a game and I'll tell you if there's grass in it.

    Listen to the subscriber-only radio show if you can. Don't block ads on sites you like, even if you don't clickthrough. Hell, even Khoo's said as much - all it does is hurt them.
