Giant Bomb Thread, San Francisco Extra Life Edition
Oh shit, Will Smith!
I don't give a shit about gbsf, when does the vinny-stream without alex and fatrick start?
Does anyone still bother watching MGSV scanlon? Tell me he ain't still using the riot smg
Are SF only streaming for 12hours? That sucks.
JUST!
Jeff's looking skinny af desu senpai
>Punished "Venom" Jeff, Kazuhira Rorie and Brad sharing their dark Gamespot days on comfy stories.
This is the best.
Also, Jeff gave the latest Call of Duty 3 stars out of 5. Is it that shitty?
>>315637307
Brad is doing a 12hr dota stream afterwards to make up for it.
>think it started really early
>mfw realizing that I woke up at 11 am
how much have I missed?
>>315637510
>3/5
>shitty
dude
>>315637627
50 minutes due to a 20 minute delay. A garbage periscope that was barely functional. Nothing much.
>MFW the Vinny stream starts at 3 AM
>Will have to be sleeping during it
Fuck
>Dan not saying shit while making his shitty Mario Maker levels
It's why this stream is great.
>>315637831
I'm tired as fuck and gonna have to go to sleep soon. I assume there will be a thread for the upcoming streams at least. Should be some comfy times ahead. Even Jason's stream was pretty good last year.
So is SF going the full 24 hours or are they relaying. Also where's dan
hahaha this Mario level reminds me of that time when The New Age Outlaws met Al Snow and Steve Blackman. FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUuuuUUUUU
>>315637914
He should be ill more often.
>Alexis is back
>STILL using a mother fucking dated engine
>They remade the worst fucking map AGAIN for the third time (nuketown)
>Day one DLC
I seriously hope you guys didn't buy this
Why is dan in a seperate room?
>>315637984
SF 12hours. After that Vinny, then Jason, then Drew & Alexis for 24hours and lastly Dave Lang.
Not vidya, fuck off
>>315638194
quarantine
>>315638225
Are you a retard, sir?
>>315638182
I thought everybody loved memetown.
Personally, I find the entire CoD couture to be rather bland desu
>>315637290
I kinda stopped watching when Dan told him to use the riot SMG and Drew did it. I wanted to see how he plays the game, not how Dan tells him to play it.
>>315638182
I haven't bought a Call of Duty game since Modern Warfare1
It's fucking crazy that Jeff still likes that shit.
>>315638182
Got Advanced Warfare, Black Ops 2 and World at War for like $15 last year from a Russian. Only played AW. Is Black Ops 2 worth playing through on a rainy afternoon? I played like 2hours of WAW and it's quite dated.
>>315638378
same the smg is shit anyway
>tfw shooting a dozen enemies on their legs and seeing each fall like dominos
>Dan with his retarded invisible block bullshit
The worst cancer in Super Mario Maker. Invisible blocks should honestly be removed.
>>315637973
Back when Brad was obese, good times.
>>315639018
>you just made it to the top of my list
Wait, Overwatch is out now?
>>315639320
Closed beta maybe. Either way, just a beta.
where is mary
>>315639384
I'd like to see some gameplay of that, even if it's with Brad most likely sucking.Or maybe he can translate his good Quake 3 skills
>>315639320
Yeah the beta for ecelebs only.
>Extra Life 2013 and 2014
>Giant Bomb endures a grueling 24 hours of actually playing video games, fucking around, and having a good time
>Everyone's together
>Full 24 hours
>2015
>Half the staff isn't in the office
>Solo streams are just them being boring, chatting, and avoiding actually playing games
>Only 12-14 hours at a time except Halo
Am I missing something or did they forget what makes their site good?
Dan is gonna casualize his level and make it easy as fuck
Based Alexis/Drew is the main event desu
Anyone got link to newest Scanlon?
No one will find out about that block. That's bullshit. Dan is the worst Super Mario Maker level maker.
All this hidden shit is bullshit. At least the first hidden block was obvious.
Hidden blocks are 90% likely to turn your level into pure shit.

Eating some pizza. Last year when the pizza deliveryman forgot the pizza for them I nearly died laughing. Jesus christ, how does something like that happen.
>>315639645
They're still people. They shouldn't have to be at their job for 24 hours just cuz charity. They have wives/girlfriends, they got other shit to do.
>>315637250
austin's stream was pretty fun
>>315640553
they ordered over a hundred dollars of pizza so its understandable
>>315640643
No doubt. Good music, decent taste in games, and he kept a good dialogue going with the chat. I'd have to actually be trying to hate him.
>>315640643
His method of answering simple questions drove me insane.
"Would you have an AI as a friend"
"Well... it depends what kind of AI we are talking about, if its such and such yadda"
Not every fucking question needs to be dissected to that level.
>>315640643
The two times I tried watching it, he was playing Galak-Z and sucking and then Far Cry 2. Did he play anything actually worth a shit?
>overwatch
Only good thing about it is staring at Tracer and Widowmaker's ass.
>Are there some options you have turned off?
>Like what?
>Like the "look good" one?
We live in a funny world were Jeff is more black than Fatrick.
>>315640995
He played Vermintide at 5 fps with Vinny
What the fuck is happening this tutorial is putting me to sleep.
This game looks really, really, really bad
Great to see Will.
Has they talked about his new company yet other than this brief VR thing?

Dave better pop in at one point. I need an hour of Dwarf Fortress analysis.
>>315641720
I sometimes wonder if overwatch really is the butchered remains of project titan that blizzard worked on since 2007. It would be scary if it were since it's so bare minimum and looks like any game a average company would shit out within one year.
Why is Brad such a shitter. The fucker wont even try different heroes, just keeps on playing the same boring character.
How are giant bomb so popular on /v/?
Aren't they just a bunch of fat sjw's?
Their podcasts are just 3 hours of innocuous, humourless banter for christ sake.
>>315642773
They used to be great and we hold onto that because there is nobody else.
>>315642773
Your shit pleb taste has been acknowledged.
overwatch looks so fucking boring
>>315642773
omg such sjws
>>315643118
yes. the only good thing seems to be tracer's ass and the purple girl with hips
>>315637561
>12 hour Brad dota stream
Why? Nobody wants to watch that shit.
>>315643473
There's a cancerous set of the Giant Bomb community that sucks Brad's cock at all time, and, perhaps coincidentally, fucking love Dota 2.
The fat guy with the hook is raping Brad in every encounter.
>>315643473
Pretty sure he was trolling. Vinny is coming up after GBSF.
Play of the game loos pretty cool.
Overwatch looks like it's best overlooked.
>tf2 without hats
How often do they put premium membership on sale?
>>315638146
B A S E D
Brad never fail to disappoint.
cool particle effects but this game looks like hot fucking garbage
>>315644684
I bet they'll do it for Christmas
>>315644684
Like every holiday.
Show Mario Maker again or something. This looks fucking boring. Of course it does since Brad is playing it though.
>>315645040
>>315645109
Okay, didn't know if it was rare or something and they had a sale for PAX I think.
>>315645109
>I hate TF2, I don't want to see this anymore,
>>*New game*
Reminder Dan has spent 30 to 40 hours making his shitty levels
>>315645269
He's made some really impressive stuff. Even Tezuka and the Mario Maker team were impressed by The Ryckoning and couldn't figure it out.
>>315645493
Impressive my ass. It's bullshit misdirection
Is it Commodore 64 time? That'd be great.
Is Dan going to just be building some lame Mario Maker level the entire stream?
>>315645827
I think so. Though I am not sure if they are doing that because he is ill.
>Jeff handling all the production shit
where the hell are Drew and Jason? I thought they were back.
>>315645493
>the Mario Maker team were impressed by The Ryckoning
link?
>>315645923
He is in "quarantine", so it makes sense. Plus it gives them something to check in on and add a little variety.
Also Jeff's FM Towns Marty shirt is amazing.
>>315646021
It was mentioned on some Gamespot stream where they talked to him, they mentioned it early on in the Extra Life stream.
>>315645929
Jason's still out with his newborn child.
Drew's not there right now because he's doing 24 hours tomorrow with Alexis.

He was, he'd quit working for CBS the week before, extra life was the last thing he was doing for Giant Bomb.

I found 3 on the guys tumblr, but since then he has deleted his account, I assume.

>>315649032
/v/ has disappointed me numerous times before, but not as much as in the present with the shameless and visceral attack on Dan. Why on earth need a bunch of alienated, nihlistic young adults with social maladjustment spend their short, numbered days attacking a guy that fails to live up to their arbitrary standards? These people spend their time bitching about a guy that nonetheless be accepted and enjoyed by the vast majority. Most of the hairs split by these posters are indeed confined to the realm of fantasy. They see themselves as the arbiter of taste in the medium yet have no experience or qualifications in creating content to justify their insatiable thirst for perfection. Their very bodies tremble at the thought that normal people such as you or I may find enjoyment in something they deem to be so disingenuous and flawed in its nature. What you or I see in good, valuable content to them appears twisted and distorted. Ultimately the posters who so viciously attack Dan are channeling their own frustrations at never being given the chance to create such quality content. This, and this alone, is the true reason that /v/ has continued to be a source of insecure, disagreeable young 'gamers', a term I use loosely for these people, in their hatred, have lost the true spirit of what it means to be a gamer in the end....

Official story is he left to advance his career, by writing for Kotaku...unofficial story is he had to take the fall for being part of the journalist circle that got into trouble during GG shit. Alex was on the same list but left earlier.
A ROOM FULL OF CUNTS.
>>315650463
Because he was already far away from GB anyways and Kotaku is incredibly likely to pay better.
>it's not like gin

Oh, no doubt. I just cringe when people somehow suggest that he wasn't wanted there. Like it or not, he was a part of their team.
>>315650463
It seems he preferred writing and being so separated from the GBWest offices pretty much made him irrelevant. I'm sure he's getting to do what he really wanted at Kotaku while simultaneously reaching a bigger audience.

I'm pretty sure Dan was shitfaced when he did it.
>>315636749
>alright time to tune in
>Patricia Klepkek
Doesn't that retard fucking work at Shitaku now? Or has his "popularity" taken such a nosedive after the move that he has to crawl back to GB to remind people that he still exists.
>>315651007
More bizarro world GG conspiracy theories where they win every battle.
When is the nigger going to quit to go write for polygon or kotaku?
>>315650729
He left because CBSi management doesn't want to pay for an idiot working remotely when they already have to pay for two distinct recording studios that get utilized for a total of 6 hours per week on a good week.
Yeah, I'm going to bed. I hope there's another thread in 10 hours or so for Vinny's stream.
>>315650756
>Because he was already far away from GB anyways and Kotaku is incredibly likely to pay better.
Basically, Patrick was only around to post the boring news articles that other didn't want to do. He wasn't really popular with the fanbase, or good on streams, or anything. He was just there.
>>315651258
I don't get what CBS seems in Giant Bomb, other than "LOL Internet stuff" I bet there are streamers who get more braindead 16 year olds than Giant Bomb.
why is patrick in SF
>>315651597
a wedding
>>315650865
yeah, because leaving to write for Kotaku to advance your career makes so much sense...
Honestly I'd prefer a game review site that only rated games on a 0 or 100 scale - either you would recommend it as worth playing, or you wouldn't
>>315651597
He ran out of dick to suck back home?
>>315651597
He's going to a wedding and dropped in.
>>315651597
He's a faggot, that's where they tend to congregate. Hopefully he catches the HIV.
>>315651597
He craves attention
>>315651597
Because he's a faggot.
>get home from work

Fuck, he's on this week's episode? I haven't even started listening to this one yet, still finishing hte Best Friendcast. I just started listening to the Bombcast about 3 episodes ago, and I can't say I'm the biggest fan of it. It's fun to listen to at least, but the guys kinda feel like shills for any AAA product.
>>315651920
I sincerely doubt it
>>315651890
Yes and?
>>315652152
He's on the second life stream right now. Not the bombcast.
Do people actually enjoy watching these shitty games? How is it possible that Austin's solo stream was more entertaining than this?

>s-so what, he is still dumb
>>315651668
Binary rating is not very good imo. Some game you'd recommend for fan of the genre but wouldn't recommend for regular players.
I think that 3 stars is the best (no half star shit).
3 stars - good game recommended for everyone
2 stars - ok game recommend for fan of genre/franchise or for player interested in the premise.
1 star - bad game, play only if you're really interested in it.
0 star - absolute garbage, don't buy it.
>start stream

This is the one made by Shinji Mikami, right?

>>315652152
>It's fun to listen to at least, but the guys kinda feel like shills for any AAA product.
it's a good podcast, keep listening or don't. they're at their best when they're not talking about the games but also this time of year is really heavy with triple A shit unlike the rest of the year.
there are probably some lists that compile decent podcasts but the past year has been pretty solid as dan has toned down the shitty parts of his personality.
>>315652520
>a majority of twitter accounts are real people and not bots
Patrick returns but Fatrick gets fired, Y/N?
>>315652351
Wording this. Austin isn't a bad dude by any means, but he doesn't belong at Giant Bomb.
>His persona is awkward, apologetic, bordering on pretentious
>Doesn't play off of others well, but it's understandable as he's new
>Has none of the wit or attitude of Jeff, Ryan's Ghost, or Vinny
He seems insecure on camera which just doesn't work for the type of content GB produces. Him and Alex together in the same room is like a miasma of boredom sweeping over everything in its path.
>Rolled out of bed
>Sick as a dog
>Still got work tonight
>Turn on the stream to pass time
>Fucking scoops on the stream
>>315652498
There is literally no evidence that he was ever in "hot water" for that with anyone. That's pure GG wishful thinking.
>>315652987
I'd rather Fatrick stick around. He's incredibly unfunny but as long as he's locked away in New York I don't care. He also doesn't flood the site with as many pointless and annoying "features" as Patrick does.At least not yet
How was the CoD QL? Did Jeff channel the Scatman again?
>>315652987
y, austin is cancer
i wish patrick would die
>>315652828
I fall asleep during the podcasts because they spend so much time half-assedlt shooting the shit instead of keeping it tighter. I enjoy the banter, but Brad isn't as skilled a showrunner as Ryan was, it can't be helped.
What the fuck is Dan doing to his level, that looks like pure hell.
>>315652520
Yeah a bunch of tumblrinas, obviously no one likes him here.
>>315653195
That only happened because the rest of them stopped giving a fuck after Ryan died. So Patrick took advantage and we got 100 boring Spelunky videos and 100 boring thinkpieces.
>>315652152
Brad is the biggest shill of the entire crew and can make shit unbearable sometimes. Other than that the rest of them don't seem as "shilly".
At least not as much as Brad. Good lord Brad's the fucking worst sometimes.
>>315653426
>After Ryan died
Every Friday was "Patrick fuck up the website" day.
