like aesthetically?
because the dungeon design in twilight princess is anything but flat.
wind waker is my favorite zelda, but i recognize twilight princess as the far superior game.

the new hire won't be dan ryckert; brad knows a lot about western cultures, and in western cultures hiring another white man is considered unlucky so they won't do it out of superstition

As someone who has never played zelda I do find the wind waker style cute though.

I'd probably put Twilight Princess in the lower third of Zelda games, 8.8 is a pretty reasonable score.
Ugh, the guy who put quotes around game journalist.
You should only ever do stuff like that ironically.
And usually not even then.
Also Dan's name starts with a D. The FOURTH letter of the alphabet. And 4 means death.
This is amazeballs.

I'm so glad that name won just for the 8.8 comment alone, I had no idea people still cared about that, haha.
Ask him what the number four is in Japanese and you'll get your answer haha

Future generations will know Jeff Gerstmann as the guy who gave Yoshi's Island an 8.8

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I fixed it for you
Think they will introduce
Has anyone else noticed how lackluster this week has been without Brad and now that Vinny is gone. Like what exactly is the reason for having a Giant Bomb east coast? Either way, this week has been an example of what they should not be doing for too much longer. I think UPF was the only segment this week I actually enjoyed. Jeff is awesome as a host but having Drew host some of these Quick-looks is soo cringe-worthy, I can feel Jeff tensing up in almost every video Drew has hosted lol. Its so funny just listening to Jeff about to break and be like Dude just fucking play the game! During this Grid video especially at the beginning.

I hope they do a livestream on Monday to introduce them, but it's probably more likely that we get an article or an introduction on the bombcast.
You make it seem like they intended for this to happen.
I too felt Jeff hinting to Drew a lot to just start playing the game. Drew was doing the old Ryan thing of over explaining the menus.

Drew hasn't had much experience being the behind the camera guy for so long. Hopefully they let him sit in more often because I actually like his really informative personality.
I didnt mean to imply that this was done on purpose but if their content is going to suck this bad when only one member of the crew is on vacation then what is the value of sending Vinny to NY and Patrick to Chicago? The best videos they put up this week were the updates from GBeast. I really hope these new guys can bring the funny back.
It seems like alot has changed since Ryan passed. Brad seems more distant and has been putting on weight. Him and Jeff dont seem like they get along that great anymore, I dunno what it is but they can get into it pretty quickly now adays on the podcasts and such. Especially during UPF, watching Brad during those is soo sad lol.

Just to let you know, Jeff didn't really send those guys there by choice. Patrick and Vinny were going to their respective locations for certain due to personal, family reasons, and that led to the establishment of the multi-location Giant Bomb. It was either do this location thing or quite possibly lose Vinny and Patrick from the site.
What is this? Jars with handles? Sorry Mr Rockefeller, let me move these ruffians from your view so you can enjoy your meal in peace.

I think you're reading waaaaaaaaaaay too much into it. Like, to creepy fan fiction levels.
Also we're getting new hires soon, so it's not like this "only 2 people if one takes a vacation" thing will happen all the time.

I'm curious if hiring a tech/video guy will mean more Drew/new tech/video guy on Quicklooks.
Yeah, Drew did really well. You have to remember that a year ago he was barley seen on regular GB content. After Ryan's death he was (more or less) "forced" on the Bombcast and now that Vinny left and Brad is on vacation he had to appear on the Quicklooks. He did really well for a guy who more or less did this for the first time (I know there are other QLs with Drew but not that many). There were some weird stretches of silence during the Transformers QL but all in all he did a good job.

I think the job listing specifically said little to no on air time so I would guess they are taking over for drew.
Yeah I don't know what people are on about. Great week

Ever since that Toe Jam and Earl quicklook i was a believer of the Drew/Jeff quicklook.
it only gets weird when its a crazy game Drew is into but Jeff is not so much tbh

Agreed. Kinda feel bad the boys have to deal with those type of expectations. It's a regular job, people take weeks off, jesus.

Jeff's done extremely well on those non-Shovel Knight QLs, espeically considering how Drew-Ass Drew Game these games are and how many of them there are. What a change Happy Jeff is!

Same, I loved the Drew/Jeff QLs. They did great. I would like to see Matt on more often because of his just batshit insane comments at times.

given that you are the one doing ridiculous leaps i can see why that was said lol.
anyways lets see what these new guys will bring
Im sorry, but what Ridiculous leaps did I make again lol? All i said were my personal observations. I dont go onto their site with any expectations, and im surprised every time i do by all the great stuff they put out. Im sorry if I felt this week was alil lacking because Vinny and Brad are gone. All im saying is that I hope these new guys work well with everyone and can bring that great chemistry back that Drew seems to not have yet. If thats creepy fan fiction then my bad lol.
