The Brad Muir Thread: Also Starring Giant Bomb

Stilts · May 2013

Hey, you. Yeah, you!

You know about Brad Muir?

Well of course you do, but I'll pretend you don't for the purpose of writing some clunky exposition.

Brad Muir is a game designer at Tim Schafer's Double Fine Productions. He is currently working on BRAZEN, a game about killing giant monsters with a bow that fires axes.

He was also project lead on Trenched Iron Brigade, a game responsible for inventing the famous double-salute.

Many fans speculate his eternally happy disposition is due to his heart being composed entirely of rainbows, sunshine and Schafer's beard trimmings. That last part may explain the existance of Brad's own captivating facial hair.

Occasionally, Brad leaves the safety of Double Fine to hang out with some of his best friends, who are collectively known as Giant Bomb. Many of these antics have been captured and uploaded to Youtube for your enjoyment.

Disappointment roils within my American heart

Sleepy Dogs has a mission where all you do is break into someones house while they're gone and fuck up there feng shui.

Hong Kong is gorgeous.

And the game is just the right mixture of Stephen Chau and John Woo.

And the shooting tutorial is an awesome crime scene recreation level.

Sleeping Dogs really surprised me. And I love its title. Let them lie, HKPD. Just let them lie.

@stilts Damn you now I'm watching Dinobot's death on Youtube and god damn this show had amazing writing and voice acting. Damnit. I knew this show was amazing but I never went back to reconfirm.

Sterica · May 2013

Oh god, I was thinking of an entirely different Muir.

Erlec · May 2013

Also I am glad justice was served

It would've been a bummer to not post in a GB thread

Poorochondriac · May 2013

If you turn off the lights, look into the reply box, and type Chris Muir's name three times, @Rolo appears

PwnanObrien · May 2013

So it looks like Sony's been watching recent episodes of Extra Credits.

They're opening a manufacturing division in Brazil.

So close to stopping your terrible opinions

So close

Stilts · May 2013

Vow is alright.

Gatsby · May 2013

Bullshit

UnbreakableVow · May 2013

Whoa

Okay, so, the free version of Sleeping Dogs on PlayStation Plus?

They also give you the Retro Triad pack, Street Racer pack and Red Envelope pack

So, $9 worth of additional DLC

That's awful nice and something they really didn't have to do!

SwissLion · May 2013

Busting into this thread with some holdover opinions.

The best sandwich condiment is in fact a quality Chilli salsa of some kind. Blandwiches not permitted unless they are being toasted (Grilled if you are a weirdo)

And the Interrobang the Ishimura sequence in Dead Space 2 has almost 20 minutes of uninterrupted exploratory tension, and while it would have been incredible for that to have gone on longer, what they had was an incredible moment, and a pretty significant achievement in a game that was clearly meant to be far more action-oriented than the first.

But the only opinion that matters: I want to play Dota with Brad Muir so bad.

that is pretty cool

Sleepy Dawgs is something I will probably buy some cheap-ass DLC for during the summer/christmas sales, whatever one gets Sleepy Dawgs dlc first

Zay · May 2013

man thinking back on Dead Space 2 compared to 3

2 was a LOT better

I hope if they do decide to make a Dead Space 4 it returns to the roots, which they showed they are capable of with the Awakened DLC, at least

Diarmuid · May 2013

Huh, we didn't get them while it was on Plus in Europe.

Giggles_Funsworth · May 2013

Hey guys I know this is a really long shot but

well Nintendo's closing what little online the Wii had in a month and a half and I have a copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy lying around which I never got those friend vouchers for

does anyone have 15 (I think it's 15 to get everything?) vouchers in that game and would be willing to send 'em over before they lose all value? If so, let's...

*sigh*

let's trade friend codes

@SimBen What it's this business? I have a copy I never got around to playing and I don't know what you're on about.

SyphonBlue · May 2013

Did brad recently break up with his girlfriend and is filling his time slash depression with dota?

SwissLion · May 2013

Nah, he mentioned his girlfriend kicked him off at some point.

Dota is just fun.

And if you can't accept that, remember that he's playing with Brad Muir

ChicoBlue · May 2013

OP should probably have

after every line.

okay listen i've been tossing up whether or not to get this game for some time and this post may have put me over the edge

Gatsby · May 2013

@Crimson King there is a mission where you basically hijack a minibus and get into a car chase with goons in sports cars while you have passengers on board who still have to make their stops.

This is like, the third mission.
