Support NeoGAF

[Bittercup]

Can someone GT-ify my avatar?

Here:

 

[Kabuki Waq]

do you think the GTA people got decent packages atleast?

 

[Static Veins]

So just out of curiosity I decided to take a look at the views on the videos uploaded over the past week on GameTrailers, and the numbers are very comparable to Kinda Funny (PS I Love You XOXO being the exception, with the views on that being over double the average).

If they can get the Patreon backing, the YouTube route could be a very viable option. The fact remains I don't think it could sustain the full team though

 

[The Dutch Slayer]

same. I honestly don't know if I'd ever heard about GAF before GT


gonna throw on the GT FF7 playthru in the background for the next few days to reminisce

Could you do mine as well?

 

[TONX]

I've seen Gametrailers go through so many different stages, but i really thought this last iteration was the best.

I've been watching Final Bosman since day 1 and I got on the Huber Hype train since last E3 with their reactions. Bloodworth's opinions are so spot on. Gonna miss all of them.

Man, 2016 is just the worst year. When's the hurting gonna stop?

 

[wiibomb]

can someone GTfy my avatar please? I still can't believe the best gaming site I've ever got to see is now closing.


also, is tehre any news about the downloads of the videos from the site-youtube?

 

[Ethelwulf]

Wow... I think I started visiting game trailers about 13 years ago. This is sad

It's only February.

[Palabragrís]

Mine pls?

 

[Sami+]

I'd like a GT avatar please. Gonna miss them. :/

 

[GamingOblivion]

Hate to turn this into a GT Avatar thread but can the same be done for my avatar?

 

[BlackBanditSho]

I will be forever grateful for the opportunity Geoff Grotz, Brandon Jones and Jon Slusser gave me in 2006. GT truly pioneered video coverage for the video game industry around the world and I'm humbled and honored to have been a part of it.

Don, Brandon, Daniel and others I wish you the best of luck going forward. I'm confident you'll land on your feet somewhere. Congratulations and good luck!

One of the legendary GT originals! Glad to see you on Gaf! Hope all is well!

MarioLinkSamus likely set the template on one of your favorite shows and was easily one of my favorite people at GT! Was sad to see him go, but thrilled that he moved on for the best of reasons!

Me too please

 

[GamingOblivion]

Sharing their departing words from their live stream. I missed the first seconds but the message is intact anyways:

I would have loved if you had kept the chat

 

[ShaoranWright]

Here:

Would you kindly GT-ify my avatar too?.

 

[Bittercup]

And the next ones:

 

[jeffers]

So final bet score was 3 super seat, 1 blood, 0 Jones, 1 kyle.. Unless someone wants to go time unravel credits. But regardless, super seat wins final series.

 

[Charles Alan Ratliff]

I tried going through a bunch of episodes myself but can't seem to find it. Does anyone remember what episode of The Final Bosman it was where Kyle was wondering why Elyse was being rude to him, and then it flashes back or something and Kyle is being really mean to Elyse, saying "and ______ is stupid" or something like that?

 

[Palabragrís]

I still treasure their retrospectives. In fact, because of them I fell in love with retrospectives. I still re-watch their Final Fantasy one once in a while. Also, I can't forget shows like Trailer Academy (I wish I could download every ep of it) and Pop Fiction.

And don't forget the classics: because of them I knew the AVGN, ScrewAttack and that silly show, Ash, What Are You Playing?. They will be missed.

I will missed them.
I miss them now.

Honestly, I never thought the ending a web site (just a web site) would affect me like this. It's like I lost a friend u.u

It will be a hard drink to swallow.

 

[Dane_gerClose]

If I could get a GT avatar as well, that would be great. Thanks in advance to anyone who might do so.

 

[crimilde]

Man, I can't even focus on my work today. So sad.

Same here, I've just been refreshing Twitter and this thread all day long. This still feels unreal.

 

[Palabragrís]

And the next ones:

Thank you!

 

[Onimusha78]

NO! This is awful. Gonna miss these guys ;(

Could I get a GT avatar please?

 

[Tankard]

Here:

Could you do mine as well, if not asking for much?


Still very depressed over this whole thing.

 

[silver moose]

I have to admit I'm saddend and honestly surprised by this news.
They were still my go to site for reviews, they were just so well put together and reasonable.

Sad to see this very talented group of folks out on their asses.
I sincerely hope that other outlets recognize the talent available there and snatch them up.

 

[SprachBrooks]

The staff was only told about the shutdown a few hours before it happened.

This is such a bullshit policy; no company worth their salt only recognises the need to shut down a day before they actually do. They need better employee protection laws against company-wide shutdowns.

 

[Mathezar]

Damn, I'm really surprised by this news. GT was my go-to place for video reviews. Their other content was also mostly enjoyable.

 

[dex3108]

It is really really sad to live in times where this [PewdiePie Alert!]

is worth more than this

[SprachBrooks]

And the next ones:

Can you do mine please?

 

[Komputerwelt]

Brandon said on the final stream that the game library was theirs, and they were going to divvy up the games amongst themselves. Huber joked(?) that he was going to sell his share to make rent.

Awesome! That's good to know! On a serious note though, I really hope they all find work soon.

 

[Reaperssj]

I just deleted it off of my bookmarks bar from chrome, gonna miss GT =(

Where's the button to +1 you?
Where is it??

 

[Hasney]

This is such a bullshit policy; no company worth their salt only recognises the need to shut down a day before they actually do. They need better employee protection laws against company-wide shutdowns.

Yeah, if this was in the UK it'd take months to do. I had so many consultation meetings and processes to go through to see if I could be put elsewhere as it was just a brand shutting down and not the parent company like this situation. Feels so weird that they can just go "lolbye".

 

[Drencrom]

Glad to see more people getting GT:fied, good work Bittercup!

 

[SpaceWolf]

I'd love some to add a GT logo to my avatar too if possible.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

And the next ones:

Can you do mine please, lol jk.

 

[Hasney]

Awesome! That's good to know! On a serious note though, I really hope they all find work soon.

Ha, shame they don't have a day left to stream that. I'd love to see people make arguments over who should get what.

But that's false equivalence. They each appeal to a specific niche. GT was doing better than ever this year. I hope they can go the Youtube route.

 

[Dictator93]

I still remember it like yesterday.

The year is 2007, and GT gave COD 4 the award for best graphics. The year Crysis came out.

Once a gamer, always a gamer. Your Gaf video feature inspired me to come back! You're a class act and professional all around Shola. Wishing you the best wherever you're at!

That would make an epic stream!

 

[Onimusha78]

If they did a patreon type thing like Kinda Funny I'd definitely support them. There's so many of them though :/

 

[Caipirinha]

GT me please, photoshop gods

 

[Eidan]

Here:

Thanks!

 

[Dane_gerClose]

Thank you, Bittercup. Wish this whole situation was different, especially for the GT crew. Man this sucks...
