Giant Bomb Thread 2: A thread on a popular internet message board

Status
Not open for further replies.
I would like to know the thought process that lead to it being ok to give some random trolls XBL ID out for the whole internet to see but still poorly edit the video because (I can only guess) someone said something that might count as breaking a review embargo or something.

I was expecting jeff to cover the ID with his hand or something at least....


But as for up coming videos its pretty dry this week and it will be for a while. Now would be a perfect time for a short ER or similar feature to fill the void but I dont expect it.

Why should he want to protect that guy? If he thinks it's ok to send people that sort of message then he's bringing it on himself. From previous posts it looks like he does it regularly too, so I don't know how he's even still got an active account. I hope that changes after this.
 
"Don't put something in an email you wouldn't mind seeing on the front page of the new york times. "

It amazes me that people are still so dumb with their online identities.

Dude, did you hear the message? Guy deserves anything that's coming to him. Don't send messages out that you would regret later.

While I don't think Jeff needed to go out of his way to hide the guy's name, I doubt he deserves "everything that's coming to him." Internet "justice" is always unbalanced, and it sucks that people who are potentially even worse get to feel like they're decent human beings because they're united behind a cause.
 
All of the people at GB say constantly how they think people on the internet should be held accountable for their actions. Don't know why anyone's surprised that Jeff highlighted some dickhead's name.
 
I don't know, WW2 fighters don't have the crazy number of switches modern aircraft do.

Plenty of things to toggle in that cockpit.

Dude didn't you watch the IL2 quick look? It was at least on par with the DC10 one in terms of entertainment value.
 
I get Alex getting one, but how often does Klepek even review games?

Patrick only reviews certain games:
Wii Games
8 Bit Chiptune
Games that were made by 1 person
iOS/OSX games
Games that aren't fun, enjoyable, or playable but make you choose between doing something bad or something bad.


The main guys review the big games and Alex reviews everything else.

Alex is the main guy. He produces 98% of the content.
 
I'm beginning to suspect Brad has been compromised.

As many hats as he has had lately, I think Valve has managed to wield him to do their bidding.
That or he's flagrantly mocking the CoD hat eating bet. Or he like wearing silly hats. Nah.
 
If he ever wants to be taken seriously as Giant Bomb's resident anime reviewer, he had better stop being ashamed of his cosplay.


I believe in you, Brad-chan, uguu~

Patrick just reviewed Dragons Dogma though, which is an awesome game.
 
Little known fact: Dragon's Dogma was actually made by one person.



Man, I hope that Portillo's was still okay. I'll be sad if we get twitter messages tomorrow of the entire staff suffering from food poisoning.

Also, great to see Jeff so excited for PSO2. I can't wait for the coverage when the game gets released proper. : D
 
What's the deal with Portillo's rolls anyway? I don't see the appeal of beef (it actually looks more like kebab meat) and gravy in a sour dough roll.

29th June LIVE [Premium] Dave's Descent into Dwarfdom

What is this?! Some PC game? MMO?
Dave finally returns with a game! I hope it runs a bit longer than 2 hours, it's always more interesting when they dig a bit deep into the game (like Phantasmagoria).

What they actually should do is just postpone the new site for a week and have Dave play a different game for each day of the week.
