I don&#8217;t want to be known as That One Guy Who Hates Everything. Also, red-faced nerdrage attracts a more&#8230; energetic audience. While stuff like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BFD2293oGvA\">MovieBob&#8217;s ten-minute evisceration of Pixels<\/a> is insanely popular, it&#8217;s not the kind of thing I&#8217;d want to be known for. I actually think it would be bad for my outlook on life. While the initial salvo might be cathartic, I imaging there&#8217;s a pretty strong feedback loop going on that would make it miserable to produce that kind of content over the long haul. <\/p>\n<p>But on the other hand, it&#8217;s pretty hard to have an all-positive show all the time. I have no idea how to make one. Explaining why something doesn&#8217;t work is usually a lot more complex than explaining why it does, so negative topics are usually more interesting. The Activision topic is a good example. If Activision did something ordinary and financially sound, then what would be the point of discussing it? Why bring it up? This isn&#8217;t a news show, it&#8217;s a commentary show. <\/p>\n<p>What I&#8217;m getting at is: I love positive content and upbeat personalities. If given the choice, that&#8217;s the kind of space I&#8217;d prefer to occupy. But the engineer in me wants to troubleshoot problems. This site is basically the balance between those two opposing forces. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hosts: Josh, Rutskarn, Shamus, Campster. Episode edited by Rachel.
