It's a reference to this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQffpK2sCsA

Which must have been huge because the term is everywhere to the point that it was difficult to find the origin.

That grin when he tears the photo apart, damn. Cold blooded

I want Danny to come on the set tomorrow and tell a story about whales.

If Jeff had never been fired from Gamespot today would have probably been the day that Giant Bomb was born. We'd be listening to him podcast from his house, re-enacting scenes from Heat and talking about buying two flat screen TVs at the Costco.

Kinda feel bad for him because I think at this point he might be stuck as "Vinny's Brother." Vinbro.

I can't say no to a pool game. It's an early-in-the-generation console tradition.

 

[danm999]

Whelp, in between the glut of great Quick Looks and the amount of Premium content that I'm interested in being generated at the moment (working my way through the Mario Party feature), I've bitten the bullet and gone for a yearly sub.

It's a huge turnaround on how I felt a month ago; with Vinny leaving for New York and the new hires not yet announced I was pretty skeptical about the site's output. But both coasts are firing on all cylinders now and I'm glad my skepticism was unfounded.

1996 was when Jeff first started as well. Right?

Did they both actually get hired at the same time? I thought there was a year or two between them. Maybe I am thinking of Ryan Davis.....


Ryan MacDonald is good people. A hard working producer type. He should hopefully be able to land a new gig even if it will probably be outside of the media.

 

[shadyspace]

Didn't Jeff and Ryan MacDonald used to do shit together all the time?

 

[Spaghetti]

mario party party was the best stream in a long time

dan was exactly the shot in the arm GB content needed.

 

[funkystudent]

I think they knew each other when they where teenagers.

Jeff always mentions Ryan MacDonald when he talked about sneaking into old CES when they where underage.

 

[Tan]

Jeff definitely made the best outlines and faces in those minigames I don't know he lost.

 

[Odrion]

Would not be surprised if Giant Bomb's video views:staff ratio compared to Gamespot's factored into this.

Don't forget that on top of that, Giant Bomb earns around 1 million dollars a year from subscriptions.

Jeff was too technical, everyone else put what that Toadstool fucker wanted to see, accuracy be damned.

This afternoon I was in the car with my significant other and Childish Gambino was on the radio. They asked me

"Who is this? Macklemore?"

'Ha no, it's Childish Gambino. Does it sound like Macklemore?'

'No, but it sounds like that one song he sings with Ryan Davis.'

'*Turn to look at SO*. Ryan Davis...? From Giant Bomb?"

"Oh, Ryan Lewis!"

That bummed me out. I WISH Ryan Davis did a song with Macklemore, just to add another great thing on the list of great things in Ryan's life.

 

[Mister Negative]

Saw the mario party thing and subscribed immediately. What other good sub content has their been lately?

Speaking of which, I REALLY hope they keep doing mario party vids. I know Jeff hates it but man oh man it was fun to watch. Definitely wanted to punch dan in the face by the end, which means I got invested in the game.

the premium velvet sundown/bot colony videos are even better than the nonsubscriber quick looks

also cool to hear Gamespot's resident Strider expert is still around (liked that segment on a bombcast where they called his extension for some Strider advice but he wasn't there and he replied later on) .

Dan is the strangest person ever. Is this what all people from the midwest are like? The shoebox thing made me legitimately sad believe it or not. I just felt mournful.

I've lived in the midwest all my life and I'm as perplexed by Dan as everyone else.

That Mario Party Party video was so much fun to watch. God damn was it great. Brad's scream when Drew switched the stars and Dan's reaction made me pause the video just to laugh and calm down for a while. I really hope they do make more because there's this interesting dynamic of Jeff fucking hating everything, Dan loving everything, Brad as neutral and Drew as
