You should absolutely assume the worst in this particular instance. Like, I don’t know the devs or their hearts, but the association here seems pretty obvious for a group of adult male game devs who have clearly watched a great deal of South Park.

Not the OP, obviously, but as far as I can tell, much of the complaints are about this little number. Which, like, not for nothing -y’all know this game is made in Russia, right? 

Even the last line felt kinda sour grapes-y to me. “We reached out the Bethesda, whomst has wronged us, for comment about this gameplay decision - rather than reaching out to the people who actually had any hand in designing it and making that decision.” What fresh insight were you expecting the -publisher- to have…

I have never felt in a stronger “stop trying to make fetch happen” kinda way than with entertainment media’s constant attempts to try to make me give a shit about Avatar. An absolute non-entity of a pop-culture franchise, resuscitated over and over again.

I think based on Anthony’s twitter, we can pretty safely assume that he’s not going to be involved. 

I’m really stoked for you, as a fan of the original work. I really hope it does well, so that it might open the door for other series like it.

But, as someone who abjectly loathes everything with Kirkman’s name on it, I’m choking on my outrage that this book I hate from what I consider to be the stupidest period in…

The absolute pits is when you’re in a vehicle where you -can’t even see the animation-. It literally just makes the noise, forces your vehicle to a complete stop, and then lets you proceed on your way. 

The fact that we got that episode in the year we did, and the fact that it was so tender and thoughtful and funny without being cruel is one of the biggest miracles in animation, as far as I’m concerned.

And yet you just can’t help but defend yourself, because deep in your heart you know how desperately small you are. 

If that is a point of pride for you, I have some terrible news. 

Yeah, what a loser, helping people with their education. How embarrassing for them, I can’t even believe they show their face.

Oooh, 29 and uncomfortable with slang! You’re so not like the other girls. A real iconoclast.

I’m a little salty about them having what might be the most ill-concieved idea for an episode in all of podcast history, but I’ll admit that they handled the situation with more grace than the chucklefucks in this comment section have cumulatively exhibited in their entire pathetic lives.

Lot of folks in the comments confirming that the thing mediocre white folks fear more than anything in the world is being told what they are. 

God, you’re the absolute smallest kind of person. Die lonely. 

That would probably be for the best, fam. 

Everything is recorded ‘live’ - that’s how recording fucking works. Podcasts are rigorously edited and yes, frequently, episodes never see the light of day. You absolute fuckin’ dweeb.

I love them dearly, but their absence doesn’t actually surprise me. They have an extremely dedicated fanbase, sure, and they’re very successful in their relatively small pond, but they’re still an unknown entity to the majority of folks - in a way that something like Serial, or even Nightvale, probably isn’t. 

The McElroy Brothers Will (Not) Be In This AVclub List.

That aside, I think I tend to listen to very different kinds of podcasts than most people - all the true crime stuff blends together, and I’d probably rather eat glass than listen to a politically-focused podcast. I really enjoyed Reply All and Heavyweight in the…

I’m actually into the rugby goon face. It’s a positive for me.
