all this talk about rounders, makes me think how nobody's made a game about the best playground game...British Bulldogs

 

[Incandenza]

I only like sports if they're x-treme like bmx or slamball

 

[stump sock]

oi let's talk about conkers and top trumps right?!

I feel like that's basically just Infected in Halo, except more one-sided

Oh wow I remember that. Primary school. That was so fun!

 

[daydream]

let's talk about brennball for a second

it's awesome

ok carry on

 

[stump sock]

my Irish coworker asked if I knew what hurling was, and I said "it's basically lacrosse for psychopaths, right?" and he gave me a dirty look

I'm not wrong, right?

Ha, no. Motown Philly.

 

[bigwinnerx]

Were you born and raised in West Philadelphia?

Spoiler

I'm being a shit

Ha, no. Motown Philly.

Since I'm up to date on GB stuff, I decided to start working my way through a bunch of Gamespot videos I've had down to watch. Holy shit is the video player there crap, no matter what setting I have it on it stops all the time. Super annoying.

Yeah, long live the HTML5 player on GB. Most of the GS videos run at like 15 fps for me.

 

[NumberThree]

It does tell you at the end of the credits that there is another chapter.

Yeah I must have missed that, I started cooking when I got to the credits so I was mostly just listening at that point.

Got banned in our primary school when I entered year 4. Caused one too many nose bleeds.

Sad day. Pour one out.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

What were you cooking

 

[stump sock]

What were you cooking

eggs obviously

I remember when health and safety rules were getting too regulative in primary schools i.e. banning any type of hardball in favour of those really soft footballs, etc. at playtime.

 

[NumberThree]

What were you cooking

Beef in coconut curry

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Dan should have learned to cook eggs from sunny

Oh yeah. I distinctly remember our weekly woodworking class ending and all our cricket equipment was replaced with foam bats and balls.

That's...not cricket.

 

[randomlyrossy]

Yeah, long live the HTML5 player on GB. Most of the GS videos run at like 15 fps for me.

I occasionally have issues with GBs too but it's no where near as bad as it once was (GS seems to be similar to what GB was for me a while back).

I just remembered Gamespot upload most of their stuff to YouTube, so the day is saved!

It could be in a double game feature with Red Rover. In fact they could all be part of some primary school playground game collection.

Bulldog was shockingly banned in the school I work at, thankfully the kids in my class are smart and simply renamed it and carried on. I was so proud and kept quiet about it.

Make sure to not look at the comments. For some reason I looked at the comments under the trailer of the new game from the Remember Me developers on GS' YT channel. Wasn't a good idea.

 

[popo]

I used to love Pirates, where you can't touch the floor but there is a load of gym equipment to climb on. Got banned after a kid in another class fell and knocked both of his front teeth out.

I have comments completely disabled from YouTube so I can't even see them if I wanted to, it's very freeing.

You dont miss sexist, racist, homophobic comments? Poppycock.

Yeah, I need to install that Chrome extension again. The one that replaces every comment with "derps" is the best.

just installed. yes, this is good

 

[komplanen]

What if the new editor is a polar bear? What if...

 

[Jimmyfenix]

derps

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Somebody should make an extension that replaces all Youtube comments with compliments and friendly chatter

What if the new editor is a polar bear? What if...

GiantBomb is no café though

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Rorie needs to work on his beard. He's falling behind.

 

[Wunder]

the fuck is going on

[stump sock]

weekend gaf

 

[Dany]

Drew tho?

 

[Antiwhippy]

I never understood installing extensions to disable YouTube chat. It's easy enough to just ignore it.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

go ly dow

 

[EmCeeGramr]

i think Daniel Ryckert should take advantage of the Unlimited Anime™ provided by the fine folks at Crunchyroll™ in order to watch a fine Japanimation by the name of "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure," which, incidentally, has just entered a new season

i believe Daniel Ryckert would enjoy "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" very much, and wholeheartedly suggest he begin watching it, and then share his opinions via social media websites such as Twitter, or on more longform formats such as the "Giant Bombcast"

people are weak

who can blame them when half of the people disgusted at YT comments immediately go all Streisand Effect by screaming "DON'T LOOK AT THE COMMENT SECTION"

he'd be so confused

but there are definite parallels there for someone who enjoys some sports entertainment

I named all of my amiibo after stands. This is not relevant to anything, but I've been dying to share this information with people who know what all those words mean.

What should I call the Luigi I bought in yet another moment of personal failure?

I was thinking The World because of his final smash, but they changed it to a dumb vacuum.

confirmed.

Oh snap! I wonder who else with prominent networks and a strong video personality could go up against her?

 

[Basileus777]

It sounds like she applied. Getting through the CBS hiring process and acquiring a Visa is the real challenge.

Should we assume Jeff has final say in the hiring decision? Like, if he wanted Cara but higher-ups were bitching about the difficulty of it re: visa stuff would it not matter since his word is law?

 

[bigwinnerx]

Oh she applied for sure. But she put her name in lower case.

 

[Basileus777]

That would not be a safe assumption to make. I'd think the opposite is more likely to be true, with Jeff not having the ability to override HR.

 

[Zaph]

He could probably put his foot down, but it'd put GB in a tight spot. She could write and Skype from the UK while awaiting a visa, but that could be 6 months, a year, or never. And if immigration says no, then what? Let her go just as she's settled in? If not, they're stuck 'wasting' a full time position on someone on the other side of the world.

Jeff seems to be taking a much more active role in the growth of the site, talking about justifing expansion and budget to higher ups with traffic numbers etc. I don't think he's going to take the gamble and accept being understaffed for so long.

It sucks, but she ain't getting hired.

 

[hamchan]

By the very definition of higher-ups being higher position than Jeff, the answer is no.
