People are giving you a hard time but even as lover of all things Giant Bomb, I know what you mean. There is some Cynicism with Giant Bomb where I feel like EZA has more genuine excitement. They are great at getting me hyped up. I love them both though and watch Giant Bomb first then buzz through EZA for their reactions to big moments.
Real talk, to me that just feels like a false narrative that people repeat over and over and over that cannot fathom that some people handle their excitement differently, have had different experiences influencing the way they feel, yada yada yada.
Doesn't make them less genuine in their excitement, the opposite actually. Sometimes things just don't speak to you and taking a step back reflecting on your feelings on things doesn't make you a cynic if that's how you roll.
And I say this as someone that didn't have any kind of online subscriptions before EZA(Patron and cutting into that caffeine budget for twitch this month because 5k patrons). So I clearly seem to have a preference myself.
But really this whole narrative is just so silly, the things people say to push it just make little sense and it's hard for me not to troll those posts. And it's not like I don't try to consider that perspective but every time I do it just feels like people have this picture in their head based on certain moments of last years E3 and that's Giantbomb to them, nothing else.
Also again to emphasize how silly this whole thing is I'm sure I've seen people tell Elyse last year to goddamn loosen it up and not be so uptight.(like seriously what...)
I will agree though that Huber honors the name of his old show, dude just has the presence to psych everyone up and raise energy making people enter hyper tension mode
. So yeah EZA is a great place to hype up for fun.
