Wait... WTF is "Atlantic Rim"

This is Atlantic Rim
 
That Transformers game looks like hot garbage (not a surprise, but still). Just looks like shit, is the most generic third person shooter and seems to run like shit. Just awful. Activision puts no effort into these games, which I guess kind of fits with the movie franchise.

Don't you mean Change Formers?
 
Of course Alex doesn't mean that, it's obvious that he's joking.
I think you're mistaken. It's clearly obvious Alex is positing the query "What are you doing with your lives watching this?" in order to instigate mass existential reflection in the viewing audience so that they may reach enlightenment. He's a natural philosopher.
 
I just don't understand the Max Tempkin like "what are you doing with your lives watching this" type attitude that he sorta has too.

I think it's rather obvious that he's kidding. I think it's partly that he's humble, and partly that he's a satirical guy. He has a darker sense of humor, and he probably genuinely wonders why someone would want to watch. Maybe that's assuming too much about him, but that's how he strikes me.

He's a good guy, though, and I can't wait to see more from GB East. I wonder how Alex and Vinny will mesh. Their personalities seem both slightly at odds, but oddly complimentary at the same time.

Also that Max Tem
P
kin needs to get bopped.
 
I'm kinda shocked we're getting content from GB East already, I was expecting stuff around early August at the earliest, giving them time for Vinny to move in and settle and get everything sorted out. Pretty incredible.
 
Why would they need nearly two months to set up and get settled in? I don't think they get paid to sort things out at a leisurely pace like that lol
 
Except for Spintires, I didn't think the game audio was very low for the other QLs? I'm gonna go ahead and blame the Spintires audio glitch on Rorie and the game.

I thought Vinny was going to take time off so he could move in and get his new house all sorted, then come back and do the same for the new office.

2 months to settle in. Yeah, that'd be nice and all, but I don't think that's how it works when you have a job.
 
It is going to be a short first week if the new guys start on monday. Thursday is a holiday, CBS usually take the 5th off too and I can see GB maybe taking wednesday off as well, with it being the anniversary and all.

I am sure he would love that but he already used a couple of weeks of his vacation time moving across country. The tv guide offices are temporary anyway so they are not going to spend too long setting up in them.

The 5th is a saturday, so they'll have that day off regardless :) So only friday off I think (unless I'm misunderstanding something about American holidays).

Anyways, looks like Jason is moving now too, so wouldn't be surprised if both him and Dan are there on monday.

I am looking forward to Jason's arrival!
 
IS it just me or does the Grid game look... really bad? Dunno if it's just the bitrate of the giantbomb videos.

That cockpit view looks less like depth of field and more like low res textures.

edit: I guess it's just the city track that looks really bland. The next track seems ok.

It's an old gen game. Also there's no real cockpit, just a blurred image.

Other than that the game looks just fine. Like every other Codemasters games on the last gen. Haven't watched the quicklook yet tho so there might be compression issues over it too.

Also what platform are they playing it on? On PC it doesn't look bad at all.
 
Those three quick looks yesterday added up to only about an hour and a half of footage. Even adding in switching over time and setup it was only an afternoon of work. Must be Brad that distracts them usually :-P
 
You know what, I'm really looking forward to next week.

Everyone will be in the office with no vacations, and the new hires will finally come in, and we might get even more giantbomb east stuff.

Everything is looking up!
