Even the PSP version is supposed to have lag. It's the only version I own so I wouldn't know how it compares, but I heard as much on Retronauts' PaRappa episode.

Also, I'd totally be up for a new PaRappa. At this point, the thing I'm most curious about is if they'd even be able to capture the feeling of the original.
 
3/13/12 is a great podcast.

Its the one whe they have a chili party at daves house, they talk about shitting in hands and mass efffect 3 ending. Brad hasn't played any of it yet and patrick jokingly says "By the time you play it, maybe they would have fixed the ending"

AND BIOWARE DID <3
 
You think there's a guy down in some basement somewhere planning to kidnap all of the Giant Bomb pets like Patrick's dog and Beaumont?
 
I wish Danny's headset wasn't complete shit, the audio quality is bad (or I'm just used to professional level sound out of streams).

Still, it's Danny. Of course I'm going to check it out.

Sixty second shooter looks like it fell out of the old Xbox live indie games section or a started off as a PS mini or something.
Thank you.

I immediately got XBLIG flashbacks. Seriously doesn't look like anything worthwhile. Good choice for the devs to be on XB1 and best of luck to them, it'd be completely ignored on platforms with a better library - yes, even at that low price point.

Is there a way to filter out all the old PC game stuff Vinny and Dave did in subscriber videos? I want to marathon but the site doesn't make it easy unless I missed an option.
 
Games 11-20 are only suggestions by the user. For subscriber videos, I use the iOS app. If you enter "Random PC" it will give you a filtered list.

That's mentioned in the post on that page. Oh yeah, I forgot you have to filter searches on desktop. Here is that search.

I need to watch that Daggerfall one again, just for the moment where that voice starts grunting "vengeance..."
 
Hospitals can be the worst.

What's the happiest video Giant Bomb has ever done?

Will marathon all that's suggested.

Hotline Miami, Rhythm Heaven Fever, Motorbike, probably the first Trackmania 2 QL?

Edit: Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time, Kinect Party, Incredible Crisis

Edit2: If you're just wanna have some good laughs, I'd suggest the 'Again' QL, One of my personal favourites, I lose it everytime I watch that masterpiece.

Edit3: Since I'm talking personal gems, the Lego Island segment is still my all-time favourite UPF moment (there's a separate YT upload, for convenience).

Edit4: Get well soon (?).
 
It goes away if you click on it.

So that explains why I've been having problems with the front page recently. Now I'm going to just stay calm and ask who the fuck thought that was a good idea? Seriously I'm having trouble coming up with positive aspects to the redesign they did a year or so ago and the amount of negatives just keeps adding up.

Is so that the content you havent seen stays at the top.
 
Because you would click on it for it to go away. More clicks=more revenue

So a typical GB user would go to the front page and see there's a shiny new video and keep clicking on it every time he went back without ever noticing the other content?

I'm seriously this close from just starting to use qlcrew.com and directly going to giantbomb.com/chat when there's a live show. That's how annoyed I'm getting with the site.
 
I think how it works is that once you've seen it, it cycles through the other unseen content in the top banner. That's how it works for me anyway, though it's not always consistent.

All the newest content is always shown on the front page though, so I kinda l don't see what the problem is.

Excuse me for the large size of the image but this is the first page for me right now.Notice how the ugly game QL is supposedly coming out... yesterday even though I took this screenshot a minute ago. Also I have listened to the dump truck and the podcast yet they are still show up top but the ugly game QL is gone.

 
I think they just need to rework the whole front page, and separate content more intelligently. The way it's currently set up has the potential to cause confusion on top of the already difficult to parse general "latest stories" feed. It makes some sense when you know how it works, but it just seems messy.

Huh, weird, I'm getting this too. Seems like their system is glitching out like it's sometimes prone to do.

Now I went back and it looks like this. The Friday Morning Show is gone (I never watched it) and an E3 video from a week ago popped all the way up top (I watched that one on another device). Still saying ugly game QL is coming yesterday but of course it's available in the videos section.

 
How much longer until they announce the new editor?
Ryckert

Two more weeks or so.

EDIT: When we originally heard they had completed the hire, Jeff said "As of 45 minutes ago we now have a Senior Editor...Well and then a month or so on top of that". So it should be a week to two weeks from now.

Most likely in one week. Rycert is moving into his new apartment in SF on the 28th, and it seems like Jason Oestreicher is moving soon too. My guess would be that Dan at least starts on monday 30th.
