I played a bunch of Snow Bros at an arcade machine in a café near my high school.

They also had an Art of Fighting machine but I remember that game being bad.

This, Giant Bomb is basically corporate/branded youtube personality content. It's amazing how uninformed any actual game discussion is at this point. The Beastcast abandoned any serious attempt at game discussion/analysis half a year ago and has become the bob-and-tom morning show of gaming podcasts, and now the Bombcast is following suit with the latest crew addition constantly derailing the conversation into inane family-guy-esque diversions. It's really frustrating, because I used to learn a lot about games by listening to the Bombcast years ago while also being entertained, but now it seems like neither is happening. I guess it must be working for them, it's probably just a sign that I'm old and out of touch with what people want now.

Is this thread just going to be a week of these hot fucking takes? Because this is going to get real old, real fast.

Its like this every single time GB is mentioned/has a thread on the gaming side. I can't wait for the annual E3 moment of Jeff not getting hyped enough for a reveal so we can get all the messages about how jaded he is.

It's just an opinion, I expressed it, and I acknowledged that the standards I'm judging against may be out of touch with reality.

"Yeah, you're right, the rest of us love it and the content is obviously not for you so get over it" is a perfectly valid response and won't hurt my feelings.

Edit: I haven't read the every page of the thread, I just responded to one of the top comments on the latest page I jumped to. If there's some ongoing thread battle then I certainly didn't intend to contribute to it by saying something negative.

If people think the GB community doesn't allow any negative comments, boy do I have a thread on Gaming Community to show y'all.
I just think that if you actively dislike the things GB do why even visit this thread?

Whoa now. I generally agree with you about actually wanting games talk on my games podcasts (that's why I made a thread praising the Game Informer podcast recently), but the Bombcast has been guilty of this a long time. I mean it's practically a Wrestling podcast sometimes. But I still listen to it and think you are giving the Beastcast in particular too little credit. There's a lot of gaming discussion to be had on there. I mean I think Alex plays the most games out of anyone on staff.

If you don't want to commit to updating the OP Fantastapotamus, pop this link in since it will populate with most of the GB relevant stuff including after shows.

At least on the Beastcast end, Austin went off to Waypoint. Haven't listen to their podcasts much to know if it's worth recommending for those wanting deeper game conversations.

The guys from EZ Allies openly wept when they saw Darth Maul. Why does Giant Bomb have to be so jaded and cynical??

Funnily enough they seemed genuinely happy about EA's show this year.

While EZA's enthusiasm felt really forced (imo)

How weird is it that fucking FIFA of all things has a multi-game story arc now?

I need plot for all my sports games.

A UFC game with branching narratives would be amazing.

Yes and no. Depends on how much caffeine Danielle drank that day as to when she decides to derail any thoughtful discussion into nonsense
