It's friday night, motherfuckers. What vidya have you played today?

>What vidya have you played today?
Transformers: Devastation
Mischief Makers.
Is this Dan's attempt to look mature?
>Mischief Makers
Lame, I wanted Mario Tennis
Now I'll have to rewatch this since I was too busy in the Quake server. Did anyone else join?I got 4th-5th place
>>342647937
Someone in another thread said that people mocked Dan for his bald spot and he got salty about it.
He could be full of shit, but it's possible.
Mischief Makers is my favourite N64 game
http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/guest-column-visibility-is-not-enough/1100-5466/
oh man this article.
>>342647991
I didn't bother and I was disappointed there was no Coon or Dan's Bald Spot in the player list
>>342648163
>Even trying to read the guest columns
No.
>>342648168
Maybe if Brad goes online again.
>>342648163
not gonna read that shit or any other article on giantbomb
Who has pictures of Dan's gf or Jeff's wife? Somebody posted them in the last thread but deleted, it looks like.
>>342647659
Jeff sick today?
>>342648163
>Scroll down to the comments
>Great article!
>Insightful article, really made me think!
>Thanks so much for making this possible, Austin!
Forced diversity is the antithesis of the spirit of diversity. We're all equal, all that matters is the quality of representation. Why are some modern progressives intolerant to the point of being regressive?
>>342648484
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctprfbTVQqk Jeff wife on the right.
>>342648693
Because you are wrong and i am right.
>>342648578
In the Bombcast he talked about not being in a lot this week because of some teeth related matters.

That Paper Mario Color Splash thing with the five fun guys and the somethinggate: exposed.
>>342649009
Possible GG joke in a Mario game
>>342648835
That article he had put up on the way out was actually all I could take, because I know the next person they hire will be as bad or worse, so I finally cancelled my subscription. Feels good.
>>342648835
What the fuck is this coon even talking about?
>>342648835
So he suggests that Nintendo retro-actively removes a joke that has been in since Mario Party 5 because some balding hipster professional victim with severe mental issues thought it was aimed at her?
Austin is a piece of shit and Vice Gaming is going to bomb so fucking hard.
Mount and Blade
I foolishly swore allegiance to Vagwrists and now the glorious Nords must fall. I'm so sorry, Ragnar.
>>342649009
people mistaking a watergate joke for a gg reference
>>342649271
No, just that Nintendo wouldn't put a watergate joke in the same scene,
>>342649009
watergate reference in the new paper mario was misconstrued by some to be a gamergate reference specifically aimed at zoe quinn.
>>342649153
>>342649195
It's a long-running joke
>FIVE FUN GUYS
FIVE FUNGIES
>Something gate
WATERGATE
We're just dealing with a mentally ill individual with severe schizophrenia.
>>342649394
>fucks 5 people while looking like a bloated Hot Topic mannequin
>WHY AM I FORCED TO SUFFER WAAAGH
>>342648835
>>342649009
Social San Fran Hipster Liberals not knowing history and thinking the universe revolves around them.
A joke about a DIET scandal was turned into a joke about Watergate, but because of the five fun guys pun they think it's GG. This is the part where them not knowing history kicks in.
They literally quote Deepthroat, Nixon, the watergate tape, and reference the five burglars that broken into the DNC.
>>342649214
You haven't heard about the supposed GamerGate dig on the new Paper Mario? There are five toads that call themselves the five fun guys and then when they try to rob him, they don't want to be found out because then it would be a real shuffle-gate
Zoe Quinn thought it was referring to her and got triggered, Neogaf lost their shit too. Apparently people have no fucking clue what Watergate is nowadays, or that there were 5 robbers involved.
What's the deal with Dan and the eyepatch and shaved head?
>>342649380
Good thing Nintendo doesn't give a shit about changing anything; whether it be SJW complaints or censory complaints.
>>342648163
>reading articles that arent by Jeff
LMAO
>>342649394
Top Banter.
>>342649570
He's not calling for removal, just that Nintendo would be more aware of triggering shit like that apparently.
>>342649567
You can only get laser surgery in one eye at a time.
>>342649495
This is what 10 years of college brainwashing gets you, folks.
>>342648870
its continue arrow.
twitter goes up.
>>342648835
>>342649495
I'm sorry Nintendo doesn't know every small detail about your retarded internet meme bullshit.
And "the negligence is so big that anger is the practical response", anger is not anywhere near being the practical response here.
Austin is a faggot and I'm glad he's gone.
>>342649495
"I'm not interested in talking about this" means "I don't want to have to justify my long fucking rant to people that disagree, unless you agree with me, then I'll respond"
>>342649731
Literally the first time I've seen that. Generally people use cont. or something.
>>342649664
I know right? Someone should think about the people that had to do time in Federal prison and the Presidency that ended with an impeachment and ruined a political career.
>>342649514
Of course they don't. Colleges are removing anything that has to do with white people from the curriculum because it is racist.
>>342649785
To be fair to him, your reading comprehension is really lacking.
He said that he's interested in talking about it.
>>342649816
I don't think watergate was about some group doing hatespeech and shit, which they're implying gg did.
>>342649664
Nintendo doesn't give a shit about anything or anyone.
>>342649567
he got fugg'd up i think.
>>342649803
Cont. Is too many characters
>>342649394
>y'all
Why are these bigots appropriating southern culture?
If someone gets into Drawful, what should they write?
>>342649858
The House Representative that started the sit in after the Republicans blocked the gun law meeting is apparently taking cues from Bernie Sanders and the youth movement according to them.
The funniest part is that he's one of the big six of the Civil Rights movement. They're legit suggesting that a man that was a major player in the civil rights movement and has been organizing sit ins, rallies, and marches since he was 18 and has been hospitalized several times for injuries sustained when being hosed and attacked by police is taking cues from Bernie fucking Sanders and the Sanders supporters.
>>342649910
Newspeak sure is worth 200K in debt.
>>342649567
He got a sty, don't know about the haircut.

With "cont" it would literally be 140 characters. You could also put "and" in the next message if you really want a period at the end.
>>342649896
Even misreading it, that holds true.
fuck I didn't get in
>>342649394
>>342650478
>>342650650
How is the impeachment of the head of state not career ruining?
Plus the five fungi literally threaten to commit robbery, the very crime five men were arrested for when they broke into the DNC building.
>>342650650
imagine how these people react to real problems
>>342650736
She's a fucking idiot is what's wrong here.
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK these SJWs
>>342648835
>>342648835
JESUS CHRIST AUSTIN SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY
>>342650830
I love the part where she's saying "wouldn't it be fucked up if it happened to a real person?"
Well, yes. 1974 was a year in which is legitimately happened to a real person. The man that held the highest elected office in the United States of America.
>>342650154
None of that is newspeak. Stop being so mad someone doesn't like the shell of South Park.
>phone games again
holy fucking shit GB Is so awful
i have missed nothing, i am glad i left GB and stopped giving a shit about their terrible content
im just glad my gb sub expires, not that ive been watching but they swim in this shit. Austin may have been generating the shit but the rest of the crew plays with it. not to mention the shitty mods
What the fuck happened to Dan's hair and eye?
>>342651308
Dan shaved it because he realized he was going bald.
>eyepatch
dan is an attention whore
>>342651279
Hey, man, fuck you. Jackbox games are great. They should do them more often.

>The entire chat figured out it was Lockdown before they even saw the answers
Yes, yes, well done, chat, well done, chat. HOWEVER.
>>342652163
IT'S A LOCKDOWN, BABY
These prompts are fucking stupid and whoever did them should be a shamed
how many people are watching UPF legally in average ?
>>342651997
austin's inner narcissist broke free and he said that he elevated the site and everyone around him
>>342652360
It's 2353 right now.
>>342651997
gamerkin get triggered at the mere mention of social issues
>>342652449
that's not à lot
>>342651765
im sure one of their faggot fans will
>>342649495
I hate the way the self-important, uppity motherfucker dictates his tweets like he's a fucking college professor and not a guy who talks about video games for a living
>>342652360
Not as much as last year, and more than next year.
>>342652609
he TAed at western for a little bit and as such thinks he's hot shit
>>342652423
Well, he also elevated me so high that I'm not subscribing to them anymore.
>>342652812
Well, he did just literally leave the website.
i havent watch giantbomb for almost 2 years now. has anything change? is the google doc still up? has any of them died or leaving? what are some sjw moments?
what will giantbomb be without austin
today and yesterday i replayed all the Call of duty games on steam from ww2 to future space tecno spunk
>>342652926
>>342652316
Boy that was some retarded bullshit. I shoulda just closed the window.
>>342652926
They've become more like youtubers, the doc is dead, that one afro-ed dude is gone, and the black guy still brings up race when he can.
>>342652883
I know. I don't expect the next hire to be any better.
did rorie really just say they're easing back into this show?
>>342652971
what does that even mean.
>>342652971
Him and Vice deserve each other
>>342652971
I love how it seems like the entirely of the arts discipline is basically just one big article review
tell me mr walker you bitch on twitter all day about these non-issues but what have you actually done to combat them?

>Find something offensive
>People call you out on being a fag
>"No, it's just a bad joke!"
>Then retweet someone who complains that the word is offensive

Giant Bomb is fucking lazy in everything they do but at least they don't treat it like a higher calling. Being humble is their only saving grace most of the time.

>>342653251
so nothing... ill check back in a couple years. i wonder if they will be up at 2018 since it will be 10 years since they launched.
>>342652971
what the fuck is this shit
why do they talk like that
holy fuck
when did they stop doing e3 floor videos? i always check back for those videos.
>>342654112

What the hell happened? Did getting hired to Vice finally get to Austin's head? This seems worse than his usual twitter mess.
SHIT I FORGOT ABOUT UPF. How was it?
>>342652971
guarantee he has mocked "soulless" businessmen types for talking like this
>>342654140
Sitting in a room > Lugging around shit to do interviews.
>>342654140
Banned from filming on the show floor after all the shit that Patrick pulled over the years.
>>342654254

are they really banned?
was there a UPF tonight?
>>342654413
>eg
why would Evil Geniuses be banned from E3?
>>342654364
shes tight like a tiger
I hate what giant bomb has become, but the Ryan era quick looks and endurance run persona 4/deadly premonition is such a reminder how bad that have actually fallen.
>>342654495
i dont follow many youtube celebs
do you know of any specific examples of patrick acting in such a way that he would be banned from e3? I find this difficult to believe as he attended the show with his numale friends and cried about the sidney driving thing
>>342653573
all he does is watch people react to things and then comment on how they could have done better
>>342654598
it's kinda sad it's limping along because jeff wants to look after his bros like he said in the e3 live show. i think they'd need a massive shakeup to ever be interesting again
>>342654598
which of the deadly premonition endurance runs is better?
>>342654598
last year of Ryan's era was mostly bad too but yeah, current gb is a fucking skeleton of a site. Jeff should move out of games and do his own show or someshit.
>>342655474
i like ryan/brad
>>342655528
>40 year old man with a mortgage and a >100k job moving out of his cushy no work tech sector job to start anew

>>342655645
which of them are bigger fans of twin peaks?
>>342655474
For me the jeff/vinny is my favorite.
>>342656039
brad since hes into pseudo-intellectual non-sense
>>342655719
He could be the new Eminem
>>342656635
if he was musically talented that would have come to fruition by now
it hasn't because he isn't

What shows are Mary and O'Dywer typically apart of on Gamespot?
They're both adorable, I want to see more
>>342657403
Mary is a producer so I don't think she's in any content on GS but she has her own site for indyshit or something
danny does 'the lobby' which is him talking about whatever dumbshit topic is hot in the news right now. He's a bit of a faggot so i try to avoid him whenever possible. He also does 'danswers' with rykert from GB but taking personal advice from those two train wrecks is pretty pathetic
>>342647780
how to fast forward in VLC?
>>342657953
dont use vlc
>>342657891
I knew about Dansers, couldnt really make it through multiples of them though.
There was that time they had Brad crash a GS show with the robot thing, and Mary seemed like she was hosting it
is there a download compilation or something of the songs on Giant Bomb's Royalty-Free playlist?
>>342658117
anon pls help
Thank fuck there will be no Austin until they inevitably get someone worse.
>>342652609
It just goes to show that just because you can articulate your thoughts well, doesn't necessarily mean that the thoughts themselves are worth articulating. I can see why it appeals to people without critical thinking skills though. "Wow, this guy sounds like he knows his shit and he's fighting against a big, powerful system that I feel victimized by." Then they stop there and never really consider what he's actually saying.
>>342649495
this nigger loves stringing together big words to sound smart doesn't he?
>>342653760
lol none of the giant bomb staff is humble
the eceleb persona is the passive aggressive persona , they are bitchy flippant aloof pissants who are manipulative as fuck
>>342649495
so he wants us to censor ourselves entirely because literally anything can be mistaken for an emotional trigger?
>>342649495
He is such a fucking nerd. I'm glad he's taking all his wordy bullshit with him and fucking off.
Maybe because I never look at twitter, but Austin always seemed alright.
Anything with him and Vinny was better than Alex and Vinny
is this fucking site still around? jesus christ i used to listen to the fags every day around 2008-2011
fucking patrick klepek
>>342650478
Embarrassing for her desu... Acting like that.
I guess she still thinks she is more important than she really is.
>>342658725
MPC
>>342661887
that's because alex is fucking terrible and the only person on earth that would employ him is his bestie jeff
its gross nepotism
>>342661994
she is as long as people keep giving her attention like anita
>>342648163
>http://www.giantbomb.com/articles/guest-column-visibility-is-not-enough/1100-5466/
the quality of writing in that article is garbage as fuck
written like someone who barely graduated public high school
>>342649910
i love that hes not mad but then goes on for an hour about how not mad he is.
>giantbomb cast talks about the biggest games at E3 and what their top picks are
>no mention of South Park at all despite combing through all of the other big games at Ubisoft including Trials of the Blood Dragon and Steep
>>342662691
haha didnt think about that
sjw as fuck
>>342662691
it hurt alex and austin's feelings
You know what GB doesn't need?
A news writer.
Stop hiring news writers and you avoid hiring people like Klepek and Walker.
>>342662691
Will probably be like hatred, they will do a quick look at release and shit all over it. There way of covering a game but also holding up the narrative running on all the other gaming sites.
>>342662813
neither of them are on the regular bombcast
I found it weird, they didn't even say it was shit or that the humor left a bad impression, they just said nothing about it at all
>>342647659
UT4
>>342662691
Maybe they just dont give a shit about superhero crap?
All that demo did was remind me that I meant to play The Stick of Truth one day
>>342662986
They need charismatic people to bring some life back into site, but it's just gonna end up being another Austin/Alex/Patrick tier person
>>342662691
What did you expect? Giantbomb has gone completely SJW
>>342658189
yes
>>342662813
Austin doesn't watch South Park.
Alex does, but he was incredibly butthurt over PC-principal and stopped after 5 minutes of screentime of that character.
>>342663023
Except the fact that if it's even as good as the last game, they will be shitting on a good game.
SP:SoT didn't even make it in their 2014 GOTY lists. Shadows of Blandor did though.THANKS BRAD!
>>342663107
you think any of them would talk about it after those two spergelords awkwarded up the room for 20 minutes?
get real. None of these people are adults (maybe vinny) and as such act like children.
>>342662986
seriously, hire some fucking showmen, not another think piece writer. ryan was great on camera, everyone that has come since is not at all.
>>342662986
willing to bet its an edict from cbsi
it's also free clickbait for low bandwidth content
>>342663182
no it was obviously alex and austin being fucking butthurt children
even when dan tried defending it alex 'shut him down' without really qualifying what wasnt great about it other than I DONT LIKE THING!
I love how neither of them are willing to cry about it being 'racist' or some shit because it would just show their true colors as being oversensitive babies which were the topic of a season's worth or ridicule
theyre so transparent I think that austin should have his race card revoked
>>342663460
maybe it is because no one posts on GB if they have a dissenting opinion, but it genuinely seems like the majority of GB subscribers love eating up the shit patrick and austin put out.
So who are the candidates that they might hire?
>>342664172
They aren't hiring yet.
>>342664163
they eat up anything these chuckelfucks post
I'm willing to bet that their shitty articles only get as many clicks as they do GR8 ARTCLE comments
>>342664172
They're hiring me, and all content out of GB East moving forward will consist soley of JRPG endurance runs
>>342664172
Some chick with a dick
>>342664172
leigh alexander
>>342664163
They slowly made the forums a shitty place for a difference of opinion. Posts get nuked if it's not in line with their ideology. I'm not even talking about posts breaking any rule.
>>342664342
hopefully
