#26 Congratulations Duder!2014-02-15 20:57You win 10 Internet points! You are a big man! Big man! Maybe you should start up a petition at whitehouse.gov next. That'll surely be the final nail in Patrick Klepek's coffin. |

#272014-02-19 07:37This article is spot on about Klepek. I'm sure he was brought on to widen the audience since the real guys aren't super into crap indie and shitty Nintendo games. Though he probably wasn't encouraged to move to Chicago, I'm sure nobody begged him to stay. I'm glad he's not a regular on the Bombcast anymore so I can start listening again. I hate you Patrick and I wish you'd go away forever. |

#34 Well2014-05-06 14:51Technically Patrick is canonical to the beginnings of Giant Bomb, on the old Arrow Pointing Down podcast with Jeff & Ryan (proto-Giant Bomb) Jeff speaks of a feverish games journalist known as "Scoops" who shuffles the show floors of bustling industry events such as the one in question (GDC '08 I believe) and picks up hot "scoops" (anecdotes, breaking news, and interviews or "Dumptrucks" as they are known the canon of the site.) This vision met with the fruition of hiring Patrick Klepek, an invariable counterpoint to Jeff (in that they both have layered ideas of the commercial and artistic history, future, structure and nature of games), a fledgling first mate in horror and action films, as well as journalism to the late great Ryan Davis (Ryan was a liaison as much as he was an entertainer, his humor & knowledge coupled into an invaluable ingenuity, while Klepek does not come close to this level of charm, he attempts to bring in discussion through interviews and writing, an obvious specialty of Ryan's.) An old buddy of Brad's (they are both legendary anime editors), and an unlikely trickster companion to goofball maestro and production bard Vinny (Cry of Fear QL and other similar though albeit more dispersed and obscure outings and moments.) In the end, while Patrick's tone of voice can brush up against they fragile egos of some, ultimately his subject matter is not far off from the ideals of Giant Bomb (push boundaries while still in the realm of the identifiably genuine in the form of casual yet poignant over-arching critique and referential, serendipitous comedy.) The issue is his execution, he lacks the body language and "glue" of the others, his method does not always sit well with vocal sections of the audience, despite on a technical level his contributions are admirable and he is close friends with the rest of the staff. The aesthetic side of his work disrupts some, obviously. P.S. I cannot tell if this is serious (much like my myth-like posturing over GB here) but yeah it was kind of entertaining. |

#402014-05-06 20:08What is your actual problem with Patrick? What is his agenda and why do you dislike it so much? I would honestly like to discuss this in a rational way with you. The reasons you have stated not really conducive to a valid argument. I would like to know more if you would please. Thank you. |

#43 HE HAS TOO NICKNAMES, EGO UP THE BUTTASS, AMIRITE2014-05-06 23:03Yeah, man, Patrick is a JERK-ASS! His stupid hair, his stupid face, always talking about things that I try my best to exclude from my life because my whole day is ruined if I hear just ONE current event or issue that's going on in this world that people say I live in. NO! I DON'T! I LIVE IN VIDEO GAMES, MAN. Thus, if I hear anything that's not video games on this site that they control the content for, fuck that...Patrick is a baby, NOT US, RIGHT DUDERS?!! |

Oppose Islamophobia Definition
We the undersigned oppose any government definition of so-called ‘Islamophobia’. We assert our freedom to expose and oppose the errors and violence of the Islamic religion and to bring the truth of the Gospel to Muslims. We deplore the inherent bias of the Government ‘Working Party on Anti-Muslim Hatred / Islamophobia’ in which every member is either a Muslim activist or, in the case of its chairman, Dominic Grieve KC, an apologist for Islam. We are dismayed that the sole focus of the ‘Working...

Cancel NPC's Car Park Management Contract in GMV West
The Issue The leaseholders of Greenwich Millennium Village (GMV) feel strongly that the decision to have parking enforcement in our private car parks—specifically those in Holly Court, Maurer Court, Metcalfe Court, and Moseley Row—was made without proper consultation with us. This lack of dialogue and transparency has resulted in a management system that does not align with the interests and needs of our community. One of the primary reasons for our concern is the imposition of parking enforceme...

The adoption and ratification of a new calendar for the United Global Trade Organization
To whom it may concern, I hope this article finds you well. **The Case for a New Calendar System Based on a Deck of Cards** The current Gregorian calendar, though widely accepted and functional, has long been criticized for its irregularities and inconsistencies. Months vary in length from 28 to 31 days, making planning and scheduling less intuitive. Adopting a new calendar system with "twelve plus one" months of 28 days each, and an additional "transition day" at the end of the year—would br...

Assembly Bill 928 is a reckless, poorly written legislative proposal. Whether it's for breeding, showing, rescuing, or keeping roosters for personal, cultural, or spiritual reasons, this bill undermines our way of life. It affects thousands across the state who cherish and maintain these animals as an integral part of our lives. Assembly Bill 928, under the guise of regulating cockfighting, does not distinguish between illegal activities and responsible rooster ownership. Legitimate breeders an...
