    Brad... I don't want to not like him, but he makes it difficult.

    Oh yeah, the PS4 stream was also a great way to see everyone slowly turn on him when he'd ignore everyone.

    Brad is just unable to play a game and talk at the same time.

    No one QL'd like Ryan. But man, pretty much anyone is more fun to watch do a QL than Brad. I like him on the Bombcast, but on his own I just can't watch much of him.

    I think Drew's reaction to Brad in the Madden clip sums up a lot of the Brad situations.

    Drew played Brothers and liked it. He is a bro. :P

    I've used that exact same expression while trying to talk my father-in-law through how to setup his printer.

    Someone would need to sneak up on him with a camera to prove to me that it's not just the talking.

    Like I said, I try not to dislike him but he makes it hard. It's not even really the video game playing. He often says stuff that is just flat out wrong and acts like it is gospel. I also dislike when people are on their phones all the time, which he does constantly in the bombcast.

    During his Extra Life stream he had some amazing Rogue Legacy runs while basically dead silent.

    He talks about social issues and really dislikes a lot of popular games. Plus, he's the newest member and not as "funny" as the others tend to be.

    Really it's just him talking about social issues. He gives most games a fair chance, and out of all of them is the one most likely to try something new and strange.

    He's fantastic and fits the role of "news guy" really well, which is something that was kind of lacking from the site before he joined up.

    The internet is just being terrible as always.

    I didn't get it either. Then tumblr accidentally enlightened me. I legitimately think that a good portion of the Patrick hate comes from this exact sentiment.

    That might explain why I don't hate him; I started listening after he was already a member.

    I feel certain I'm going to unintentionally use that expression when discussing my department's ops plan for Christmas later this week with my boss.

    I started following Patrick when he was still at G4, so I already had an idea of what his style was and how good he was at his job.

    The internet haaaaaates patrick. I just don't care for him on the bombcast/QLs sometimes, probably about brad on the phone tier. I like his writing/news though.

    I don't get the love for Patrick. Or the hate.
    The only time I really roll my eyes is when he is attending a PR event, and want to be mr Scoops, and get all cranky when the pr rep won't spill some hot scoops for him.

    There's the odd moment where I really like Brad, like when he wouldn't back down to Jeff's bullshit argument that Bioshock 2's mediocrity should disqualify Minerva's Den from winning DLC of the year. It's a separate bloody story, Bioshock 2's mediocrity is completely irrelevant. ME3 may be terribad but if Citadel wins this year, I'll be fine with it (though I haven't played it).

    But most of the time, yeah, Brad is Brad.

    You're right, it's terribad with a blue/green/red glow that you get to choose! Player choices are important!

    Nah.

    Mass Effect 3 is an excellent game that happens to have some flaws.

    Yeah, the last 20 minutes or so is the only real problem I had with ME3. 99% of that game was incredibly good, including the multiplayer stuff.

    It had the best gameplay of the series, the best squad interactions of the series, the best camera and sound direction of the series, and despite some story issues here and there, was able to wrap up long running plot lines I was invested in like the genophage and Geth in ways I found very satisfying.

    ME2 was probably a better total package but the highs of ME3 were the best moments in the trilogy.

    I really hope Brad tries to get DOTA 2 for GOTY just to see how Jeff reacts.

  • FuriousJodoFuriousJodo Seattle, WARegistered User regular
    Even though DOTA2 was released in 2013, considering it's essentially an unchanged (other than graphics/etc) version of a super old mod I just don't see it really getting recognized.

    There's no way it won't crack top ten

    If Jeff got Syndicate at #7 last year, Brad can get it in the list easily

    Surprisingly, Jeff himself has said he considers it eligible.

  • Undead ScottsmanUndead Scottsman Registered User regular
    It's the #1 game on Steam by like an factor of 10. I think you'd have to pull some major pedantry to really justify not including it.

  • LockedOnTargetLockedOnTarget Registered User regular
    Well they go by what they like, not by what's popular. It's their favorite games of the year, nothing more.

    On the Brad hate - I like him because I can relate. His boring, monotone way he talks about games is like me when I'm sober, and he's bad at games, like me.

    I'm really starting think that dota is my GOTY 2013. I can't think what else I have consistently out my time into and felt as rewarded, vidja games wise
