Giant Bomb Golden Duder Semifinals: Smith, Kasavin, Muir, Rorie

DAY FIFTEEN

Polls CLOSED!

Main Thread: Here

This was much easier than I thought it would be.

Brad & Greg all the way!

If the final isn't Smith vs Rorie I will be very, very sad.

Many thanks to @AlisterCat for the great work on the VS images.

I love Smith, but Kasavin made Bastion.

Lego puppies!

Ahhhhh!

@Winternet: New semi final portraits looks / are awesome

This was the first one I've actually had to think about. Sorry Muir, but Rorie beat you out.

Hoping for a Smith/Rorie showdown.

This shall be Muir's last stand, and he shall be overwhelmed by puppies.

Gotta go Muir and Smith, not a fan of Rorie.

oh man, this is the hardest choice ever

Smith and... Rorie? Muir is so funny though...

argh

I'm sorry Mr. Muir, I adore you - sincerely; but I have to give the edge to Matt. He's hard-working, intelligent, funny and always a blast to have around the site(s).

Will was a shoe-in for me, no question. Lots of love for Norm, of course; but Will has always clicked with me a bit more.

Edit: And by Norm I mean Greg

Durr.

Both Greg and Brad are great, but The Executable vs Puppies it has to be.

I'm disturbed by the fact that it seems like these ex-Whiskey Media guys are winning over people who have had more to do with Giant Bomb (ie, Johnny V and Brad Muir).

I feel with Matt recently appeared on TNT we have most recent exposure / nostalgia of Rorie.... now if Greg appeared maybe there would be more votes for Greg....

Just sayin'

Brad vs Matt? You son of a bitch!

Team WIll/Matt all the way.

Will and Brad, Greg just doesn't do it for me and Rorie can't beat out Brad

This doesn't seem fair to anyone not part of the OG Happy Hour.

This one was pretty easy. Smith and Muir no doubt. I don't watch movies so I've hardly seen Rorie and Smith crushes Kasavin.

Will Smith stole that last round from John Vignocchi, the rightful champion, so I want him destroyed.

@MooseyMcMan I completely agree. Except for a bit of WoW coverage and a couple dry QLs, Rorie is all but meaningless on the site proper. I think Smith is a much better case but even his presence is rare at best. Muir has absolutely been a blast on every QL and live show embodying what makes this website so goddamn great. Greg I think would have been a much harder sell without Bastion but he too is such a great associate of GB. I love Rorie but he's Whiskey Media award worthy, not Giant Bomb.

Come on Brad Muir =(

Oh crap, I accidentally voted A instead of B.

WHAT!! How did John Vignocchi not make it in. Go Greg and Brad!

Ahem. RORIE 2012. Also Smith cause MIB was cool.

I find Rorie death when he sits in for games, complete death. But mention puppies and he's in his element like a man who gains strength from the cuteness of an adorable puppy.

And here I thought this one was going to be hard. Wishing all the best to Rorie, but Iron Brigade and Bastion were two of my favorite games last year. So this one was easy. Also every time Will appeared on a Giant Bomb feature all he did was complain, at least is sounded that way to me. Especially when Ryan was joking with him about his name being the same as that actor...what's his name.

The only true answer is Kasavin and Muir. Anything else is blasphemy.

So Rorie wins it all, right?

This is starting to really break my heart.

THIS PERSON SPEAKS TRUTH, but seriously people voting will/rorie you just want this to be a incest whiskey media party?

Kasavin and Rorie all the way.  How the hell is Will beating Greg?  What is wrong with you people!

Greg Kasavin is a legendary videogame journalist.
He also happens to be one of my idols.

Brad vs Matt? You son of a bitch!

Love Will Smith but been following Kasavin much longer and Rorie wins easily, sorry Brad.

Goddammit. I want to pick "not Will Smith" just to spite him!

I can't do it. It's gonna be Will/Rorie for me.

I mean, Rorie has already won this competition, but still...

Kasavin and Muir are my choices...

Any man who will dedicate 12 hours to entertain me is A-OK in my books and Iron Brigades daddy, come on.

Apparently everyone completely lost their mind and Johnny is eliminated now, so now it's Brad Muir or bust!

Kasavin/Muir all the way. I personally don't think any of the Whiskey crew should have been in here at all.

You know you guys can pick the true answer (Greggy K) and still like Will, right?

@Winternet: I'd just like to say thank you for this amazing competetion! And fuck you for forcing me to make the hardest decisions of my life.

Brad Muir all the way

Rorie and Smith.

RORIE/KASAVIN ALL THE FUCKING WAY

Rorie to win, guys.

Isn't the idea of this the ppl who influenced the most? Clearly it's brad and greg!
