Shaking my head to be quite honest.
>>333703776
New and old stuff is getting uploaded to MEGA. I don't see the problem here.
>>333703874
there is a google doc that links giant bomb premium videos for everyone. they recently fixed the exploit. no more vinnyvania for me :')
>>333703776
You can still download the MEGA links, watch Jewtube & watch the streams live. Not much has changed.
>>333703776
there is only one tolerable person on that website
>>333703987
i don't have an account there. is it worth it? how are the downloadspeeds?
>>333703978
Shouldn't you be calling a lawyer, Tobuscus?
>>333704070
You don't need an account and MEGA is super fast.

Clearly you. I came to /v/ in 2006 and there were constant Spoony and AVGN threads.
It's a fact of /v/ - learn to use your mouse wheel and keep scrolling

Does this mean I can't get to their podcasts now?
I only just started kinda giving a shit lately.

Shhh, you'll hurt the newfags' feelings.
Giant Bomb threads are established and approved /v/ material, hence why the mods don't delete them.
>>333704548
There's a difference between occasional fun off-topic threads and e-celeb threads where it's just reddit memes and rumor discussion.
>>333704608
they do though
Man, I hoped to come in to this thread to hear that someone had died, or at least that they were going out of business, not to hear someone whine about some e-celebs making their content go behind a paywall.

I can't even fathom this.
People actually pay to watch Giant Bomb stuff?

>>333705013
At least they still make content. GBWest barely does anything these days.
canceled my sub yesterday. the guys at gb are apathetic towards games and lack even the most basic knowledge about them now. this coupled with them wasting more time on retarded online drama that has zero to do with games like gamergate and allison rapp and other bullshit nobody with braincells cares about makes me feel like it's not worth the money anymore. even their premium content is a total bore. the only thing i've been interested in that they've uploaded in months was the old game preview tapes. the site died with ryan. they need to either shape up and take this seriously or move on.

should've just bought premium when it was $35 :'3
Been a subscriber to giant bomb since the beginning. Up till now I never let any of the SJW stuff or whatever bother me. Just shrug it off as people who don't live in the real world feeling guilty. The latest bombcast with Jeff going on about Alison Rapp and misrepresenting the entire issue is the first time it's ever got to me. Just how oblivious they are really pissed me off.

Guys I just ate a raw hotdog. I don't know if it was safe but I was so fucking hungry. Should I be worried?
>>333705261
It's the worst I've ever seen him, to be honest. The thing I've always kind of appreciated about Jeff is that unlike pretty much everyone else (especially Brad), he usually avoids trying to give the listeners a lecture when it comes to stuff he finds distasteful. He just voices his opinion and moves on. This time though, Brad wouldn't let them change the subject.
Same thing happened on the Beastcast with Vinny.

Yeah it's so out of character, I don't understand how she is getting defending with some of the tweets she put out.
The way Jeff was preaching, I dunno why but it bugged me so fucking much. Couldn't care less in all honest about anything going on at NoA but the way Jeff was talking about made me angry

You couldn't be more wrong. They just did literally all the VR content. 10 hour streams for both Oculus and Vive, Jeff wrote his review for Quantum Break and did the Quicklook for it, UPF, an Unfinished, etc. And I'm actually using "etc." because there's more, not because I ran out of stuff to list
Meanwhile, here's GBEAST's content.
https://youtu.be/Wwz-R8vRrWw
They all gathered around and put a camera on them so that they could overlay themselves in the scene and WATCH the content that GBWEST put out. HAHAHAHA
Giant Bomb as a whole is complete garbage. If Ryan didn't die and Jeff didn't sell his soul to the lowest bidder it might be alright... They're lucky they scored a fucking deal with a huge company to back their stupid asses. Just like with most of these more known groups covering video games and tech in general they've risen to the level of their incompetence. They all come off as someones dad trying to be cool and play all the new games to fit in with their son who hates them for knowing what giant morons they are.
Giant Bomb? More like Giant piece of shit.
Video games
>>333706063
Sincerely curious, how old are you? I'm a couple months away from 30 myself and I don't see them as that, but maybe it's because I'm getting up there myself.
>>333705509
Jesus Christ I'm listening to the Beastcast right now, it's the worst. I feel like Fox News but they literally never talk about the "other side" of the entire argument. The women, the minorities, the fucking journalists are never at fault for anything when shit hits the fan in whatever epic Twitter drama came up this week, it's incredible.
I have neither a stake in this story nor have I followed it closely but even I can see how one-sided their entire argument is.I don't even hate these people, Beastcast is actually one of the better gaming podcasts I know but why is this fucking progressive apologism so pervasive in big gaming outlets?
>>333706158
I'm not even a few years younger than you and the majority of GB are like generic old dudes" of the manchild era fucking cheap old sneakers included. They're seriously on that level of "youtuber" "e-celeb" that just reeks of mediocrity and complacency while pulling in easy money from morons and children. The only respectable thing someone like Jeff has is a knowledge of gaming from years of exposure on the "inside" yet it's all wasted on bullshit content now.
Im a newcomer. I dont listen to their podcasts.
Austin is typical commie. He has no other identity.
Dan is bearable, but only when coupled with someone sane.
Vinny should come back to proper GB.
That mexican shittybeard guy can fuck off.
The dogfucker can fuck off too.
Jason, drew and brad are meh. Only brad talks too much about shit he doesnt know.
with the rapp shit, its not like she was trying to hide it. she ACTIVELY tells people PUBLICLY ON TWITTER that she is pro-pedophilia. she doesn't hide it at all. the giant bomb guys are rushing to defend a KNOWN pedophile. why would nintendo want any association with her at all? i feel like i'm in bizarro world. what the fuck happened?

>why cant I shit up the board get out of my /b/;-(
Legit question as a subscriber: What am I supposed to be paying for?
Looking over their premium content for the past few months, I don't want any of it. The only consistent premium video they produce is UPF which is their least interesting, lowest-effort content. And if you don't love Dan Ryckert, there is nothing to listen to in the premium podcasts.
I've got a few months left on my sub but I feel like cancelling. I'm not getting anything out of this site anymore.
>>333705434
>raw hotdog
I know it's a joke, but I don't think they sell raw hotdogs at stores
I'm only a sub until Metal Gear Scanlon is finished. Then I'm unsubbing.
The series is shit now anyways, but still.
>>333707421
same problem here, unprof is shit unless they bring some fun guest in (drake, d-leazy, whatever), bombcast is so boring I don't bother listening anymore (no fun banter allowed, thanks brad), vinnyvainia is boring as shit, playdate is fun once in a while, metal gear scanlon went from the best content to literally the worst content with mgsv, no fun mailbags in years, the VR streams were average, funny for a couple of minutes I guess, fuck...
>>333707668
No way I was going to watch the VR streams. I don't need another 20 hours of Jeff being disappointed and dismissive.
>>333707593
drew doesn't even give a shit anymore. nobody gives a shit about mgs anymore. I bet when they finally get to the "YOU'RE NOT BIGBOSS WHOA" moment drew will be like "whatever, could have guessed" with dan desperately trying to sell this shit as the second coming of christ
>>333707730
>>333707730
They're mad because they're all too poor to even afford the headsets personally or a good enough computer to fully utilize them. On top of that they all live in tiny places with no space to set up for full room scale vive other than bare minimum. Jeff was dismissive because he is surrounded by retards, used it a lot already and doesn't want to get invested too much because he knows he can't do a good room scale setup and take full advantage of it.
>>333708027
I would think Jeff would be in the best position to take advantage of it though, as he seems to be the only person on the site that doesn't live in an apartment.
>>333708196
He said on the VR streams that he can't. If he moves shit around in his "office" at home he would be able to barely do minimum room scale so it sounds like a cramped shit hole. That's where a lot of his disappointment comes from and even in the GB studio they can do barely minimum for room scale.
>>333708196
He addressed that. He says, he wont remove stuff from his office, where his pc stands, just to run around the room for an hour for a day. The only place he could do it would be living room and that would require to move the pc and keep it there.
What the fuck happened to Old Games Show, Ranking of Fighters, Demo Derby and that Tapes stuff? At least that shit was entertaining.
>live E3 conference coverage will be ruined by Alex and Austin
Fucks sake.
>>333708196
His house is cluttered with old game shit. He talks all the time about slowly clearing space and put things in storage. The man's home is like a video game dump site.
>>333708395
With old cabinets in his fucking kitchen... I bet it's mostly junk that hes keeps for the sake of nostalgia and memories of Ryan. He let video games consume his life in the worst way. Hopefully his new wife changes him for the better before he dies of a heart attack.

Wow you guys are delusional. She got fired for moonlighting, that's it. She even admitted to it. They said multiple times that there's no way they could ever know who was in the right and wrong so they can't make any judgements. There was no reason to bring up the pedo shit since that has nothing to do with anything, and spreading what you assholes were using to try and get her fired only gives you what you want. I was surprised they even alluded to it, which they did more than enough that anyone interested could find out what they were talking about with a quick Google search.

It's because of the high concentration of kissless virgins in the gaming community, it's just white knighting on a massive scale

She was fired for moonlighting and the pedo shit has nothing to do with it but somehow it's still NoA being misogynistic, huh
>>333708689
>There was no reason to bring up the pedo shit since that has nothing to do with anything
100% delusional bro, the moon lighting was a easy thing for Nintendo to point out so they don't have to acknowledge the employed a pedo. Also even if you take it at face value, how is Nintendo wrong for firing her for moon lighting? I'm tired of the narrative that people doxxed her when she was tweeting the pics from her modeling shoot on her public twitter
>>333708689
The sandwich chain Subway announced it had "mutually agreed" to suspend its relationship with long-time spokesman Jared Fogle, and I see no reason to mention anything else.
>>333708689
gb framed it as shame on nintendo because they listened to "trolls", which is not what happened, and they also left out that the people that disliked her were justified. they didn't hate her for being a woman, they hated her for being subhuman scum. gender didn't matter at all.
>>333708356
They all still happen, just on a very irregular basis. There was a demo derby like a month ago. I'm probably the only one, but I'm glad GBEast finally finished Rondo of Blood so they can get back to play dates where they play games that are actually fun to watch.
>>333709059
Where did the word misogynistic come into it during the Bombcast discussion? They said it was cold and unfeeling when Nintendo ignored her being harassed, but corporations are cold and unfeeling in general so it wasn't a surprise.
Reminder even the most psychotic murderers in jail hate pedos and they need solitary confinement against the other inmates because they'll be stabbed up in an instant.
Yet Alison Rapp is just a poor victim of trolls and bullying despite boasting and publishing papers about fiddling children being morally okay to do and even encouraged.
I don't know how Jeff and the gang even arrived at their conclusion, they can't have looked into it at all because they're now pro-pedo by association.
>>333709659
That's child rapists. Most inmates don't give a shit about what was posted on twitter five years ago.

Nice burn, Austin. How's your fourth attempt at a PHD in media studies going?
>>333710456
friend, I'm not Austin Walker...
>>333710327
Whether they are hypocrites or not is irrelevant. They could all be literal pedos with rape dungeons full of small children. It doesn't change the kind of liability to the public image of Nintendo that person represented.
If it turned out that Brad had been penning literature for NAMBLA all this time he'd be out the door and his named erased from the tongues of everyone at GB by CBS.
