I know I'm not the average user but of all the content they produce, the reviews are least interesting to me. Their opinions are usually perfectly clear after listening to the podcast and watching Quick Looks.

If I had control of the content being produced by the Giant Bomb crew, it would be endless scrub league tournaments, quick looks and random PC videos, all day, everyday. No reviews, no previews, no events. Also, the site would likely have been shut down within 6 months because the content would be catered to crazy people like myself.

For sure, I couldn't agree more.

That's the content I'm always interested in. I watch all their Quick Looks and those are always a pretty good indication of how they feel for each game.

I don't think you're crazy, that is by far their best content!
 
Gotta agree with the point on reviews being one of the least interesting things on giantbomb.
I do check the scores they give, but to be honest I don't go to that site for it's written content. I go there for the videos and podcast.
I've never read a full review on there.

Maybe just having a small paragraph and the score on a game and a check the quicklook link would suffice?
Though I guess that would mean they'd have to prepare a bit more for the quicklooks.
 
You guys have never seen those commercials with the singing bunny and the commercial is all like "text '2cute4me' to get this singing bunny ringtone" really late at night? Or the commercials where a a nightmare scenario of a woman being left at the altar could have been avoided if she texted a service that could have told her whether or not her relationship would work out? That shit PLAGUES late night TV.

And yeah, I know exactly what commercial Khezu is talking about. I heard the song beforehand from the E3 livecasts too.

People still watch tv?

Man I always forget that is still a thing, I haven't had cable plugged in for almost 10 years now >_>

Regardless, this is pretty funny.
 
Due to a lack of new content lately I've been watching the DP endruance run. Vinny and Jeff are pretty damn funny in it, but I still can't get over how awful this game looks in every way.

I wish I cut the cable years ago, I've been without it for 3 years or so. With Netflix and the crazy amount of content available for free on the Internet, like at Giant Bomb, it seems silly to pay $45.00 a month to watch commercials and content I have zero interest in.

That is the only ER I've ever enjoyed (though I think it was mostly that I have an interest in the game but never got around to playing it).

My favorite part is how Vinny always wanted to do sidequest stuff and you could just hear Jeff dying on the inside but never telling him no.

Those enemies that crawled along the ceiling were the absolute worst, I really don't know why I didn't skip ahead in retrospect. But it's all worth it for the final scene with
Tom
, funniest moment of the ER right there.
 
At this point do we even know if they're bothering to do a TNT this week? Nothing on their schedule, no mention in ILM and nobody's talking about it on Twitter.
 
For anyone who thinks GB is overly deferential to publishers in the midst of criticism, go to Klepek's Twitter page and look at the conversation he's had with Arthur Gies today. What an asshole.
