I'm going to sound like an asswipe (again) buuuuut... Isn't Anthony Burch writing, not designing? Wouldn't one the designers been a better choice to interview?
maybe they put him because it was Destructoid, and basically he says what we already know, so no harm done
Gearbox Designer at 2k Booth: Ah crap, here comes those Destructoid people. Ugh.
Hollie Bennet: Hi, I'm here for my Gearbox interview.
Designer: Oh yeah, I'll go fetch one of the people that worked on the game.
*Walks in to the back area where they keep the writers*
Designer: Yo Anthony, time to do your Destructoid PR.
Anthony: That's all you people keep me around for isn't it.
Designer: Yup. Hop to it.
*Both walk over the tired, lifeless bodies of 2k writers to get back to the booth*
*Camera sets up and interview happens*

I've wanted to meet Anthony for years, loved his writing, videos and podcasts for ages obviously. And what do I do when we filmed this? Couldn't say a word. Totally froze up. I've hung out with legit A-list celebs like it's nothing but one bearded games writer and I'm a mute.
But yeah, awesome dude. Great to have someone actually talk in front of the camera and not just repeat pre-approved marketting lines.

Why does this article not cite him as one of the greatest contributers in dtoid history? Hollie....?
@manasteel
Good story, but Anthony should be wiping choco taco crumbs from his mouth before the interview.

I love Anthony, but man he seemed less than enthused to do the interview with Hollie I mean wouldn't you be excited just because it's your old stomping ground? Hopefully he's not "too cool" for Dtoid now. Seriously man, seriously, lose the beard. You look homeless.
@Casey Baker: You obviously haven't seen pictures of him from the Gearbox Community Day. That beard was like…*POOF* epic homeless beard. Lol
Any who, great interview. I hope to hear more about Borderlands 2 VEERRRRYYYY soon.

I miss the Reverend, his rants got me reading Dtoid (I stay for Jim trolling idiots who are too emotionally invested in their toys)
