Has anyone seen this?

The guy's role playing as Jeff. Talks about Jeff's firing from GS back in the day as if he didn't explain it when they joined back with CBS then goes on to say all games journalists are on the take. It's really weird.

That's so weird. Why would he pick Gerstmann to make a point about reviews ? If there is someone whom you can trust to be independant when reviewing games, it's him, considering his past.

it's probably that guy who's really salty about that Driveclub review

 

[Jimmyfenix]

who is jeff?

Yeah

 

[Blablurn]

Holy Shit. The Subsitute intro at the Puyo Puyo Tetris Quicklook. What a time to be alive.

 

[erawsd]

Jeff has said multiple times before that one of the reasons he keeps doing reviews is that it brings traffic to the site that wouldn't visit otherwise, so he sees your point there. And they do bring a lot of traffic, at least they did the last time he spoke about it.

Yeah, he also mentioned that "some of the guys" (Alex and Brad?) still enjoy writing reviews from time to time.

Himself included IIRC. He would probably not do it if he didn't like it.

who is jeff?

Jeff Kasavin. He works at Supergiant.

I didn't realise we were coming to the end of the thread so soon.

We're only 75% of the way through which is nowhere near the end (for the speed this thread moves at).

Some new info on the hiring and this thread will move faster than the Super Best Friends thread

 

[Hot Coldman]

Yeah, it's taken us 2 months to get this far, so we're not due any time soon.

lol that's not happening

I don't think Drew has ever been this angry before

That's true, the thread does move slow these days. Eh.. 75% is quite close.

 

[erawsd]

Man that Puyo Puyo Tetris game looks so good. I'm not willing to import but I have a serious itch to play some Tetris now. Also, Dan really kicked Greg's ass.

The whole video makes little sense. Why does he mention that you'd think Jeff would be Editor in chief of Gamespot considering, you know, he runs GB. It's really fucking weird and the comments section is filled with Gamergate crap too.

Sleeping Dogs: Nightmare at Northport: Giant Bomb Quick Look

YES.

Vinny you beautiful man.

 

[Haunted]

It's almost as if the move to community has greatly reduced the amount of regular participants and led to less discussion overall.

shocking

Sleeping Dogs: Nightmare at Northport: Giant Bomb Quick Look

Was it this Sleeping Dogs QL that ended with a Chinese ballad playing or something?

Fairly sure I remember that from one of the three (four?)

Edit: It wasn't this one. I think it was the original QL.

This thread still has a large number of views relative to the other threads. 875000 relative to over a million.

[ThreePiMatt]

Yep, watching the end of the Tetris QL, Dan needs to play Tetris Battle Gaiden. I bet he could beat Ninja Kid Brad pretty easily.

Sleeping Dogs: Nightmare at Northport: Giant Bomb Quick Look

For my money I would still rather play Sleeping Dogs than GTA V. I prefer the more responsive combat and driving, and even if GTA has the more detailed open world it still doesn't beat weaving through Hong Kong traffic on a motorcycle blaring cheesy Cantonese love songs while you consider slamming that civilian over there into a pay phone.

 

[Dany]

YES. Give me a coffee mug with Drews face on it.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Imported Puyo Puyo PS3. Shit's scarce, folks!

Yeah I really wish they would come off that Triad Wars bullshit and make an actual sequel to Sleeping Dogs, as great as the first one is, I think a second on would be more refined and something really special.

Best rap song

 

[AcridMeat]

That poll allows you to vote for multiple characters, but I only needed one: Skullomania.

Did my part. Seeing Skullomania would be awesome.

Sleeping Dogs: Nightmare at Northport: Giant Bomb Quick Look

I really really need to reinstall that game. Was my favorite game that year, and I agree I'd rather play it than GTA5. The only game where I actually did everything/collected everything.

edit: Oh and the only game I bought story DLC for.

YES. Give me a coffee mug with Drews face on it.

I like how it took him drinking some coffee to have the epiphany. Solid merchandise opportunity. Flight Club would be a nice throwback, or the VinnCo design.

Where be MGS3

 

[Anjin M]

I'm glad the Giant Bomb still published written reviews. I like that they have to gather their thoughts into a coherent piece as opposed to throwing out opinions over the course of a quick look/bombcast/livestream/etc. Plus, they're still pretty good writers, and I like to read.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

Where be MGS3

cancelled

 

[Megasoum]

Dan, if you want an easy way to remember which symbol is the male and which one is the female. The male one is the one that looks like an erection...

 

[komplanen]

Where be MGS3

Next week is PAX South so they are preparing. The week after PAX South they are recovering and then it'll be time to start preparing for GDC/E3/PAX Prime/PAX East.

That's how it works.

After E3 will be perfect for MGS3

Metal Gear Scanlon 3 actually happened years and years ago. We just need to discover it.

something something nanomachines something something the patriots

 

[backflip10019]

YES. Give me a coffee mug with Drews face on it.

The coffee mug with Drew's face on it would play more games than Drew does.

Unpopular(?) opinion but I find their thoughts to be much more interestingly articulated in an oral format than in their written reviews (which always struck me as a bit generic, basically going down a list and checking off bullet points in a way that, I dunno, gaming magazines and I guess websites did reviews in '05). Wish they'd go a more open, essayistic route with them. Mostly looking at Alex for that.

Bring back video reviews

 

[ratcliffja]

I honestly thought MGS3 was going to start soon. Looks like I'm going to turn off auto-renew for now.

Don't forget GOTY.

Guess we're not getting much content this year. Better luck next year!
