Turns out that mad max is true, except that instead of fighting over fuel we're fighting over amiibos.
Got amiibos for days.
Look for someone to post a picture of their apartment full of Splatoon amiibos like that one crazy guy did with the amiibos he planned to sell on ebay or whatever.
Normally I would agree, but this has amiibos. People are probably willing to pay a ton for that shit.
Imagine if it was a truck full of Ike(?) amiibos. Would've been the heist of the century.
wrong, the profits will be quite nice because of amiibos

Forgot I could now post on here.
Hello!
I've been a lurker for a while and finally decided to sign up. Got approved after a long wait and just wanted to say I've really enjoyed these threads for a long time (years?) and this has been just about the only place I've liked to read about GB lately. The forums have gotten terrible, the comments are getting YouTube-esque, and the subreddit isn't active enough. These OT's have been my sane GB discussion place of solace.
Looking forward to actually interacting with you guys instead of just getting to read now.

I see the Toys R Us full of Amiibos these days. The days of Little Mac are gone, friends

Man, those other places must have gotten batshit insane if we're considered sane discussion.

May you ride eternal, plastic and shiny
I refuse to believe it.
It will be weird when Nintendo begins to lock more stuff that people actually want behind owning specific amiibos (there's the skin stuff in Yoshi, but who the fuck cares) if they plan on doing something like that. I wouldn't be surprised if there's backlash if that happens because it will make it seem very much like on disc DLC.
edit: I think a Fire Emblem character was locked behind an amiibo in Code Name STEAM? Stuff like that.
Welcome.

At least you guys (pretend to?) like the site.
I forgot to mention chat. Chat sucks. A lot.
Chat sucks for everything, everywhere. Never read any chat for any live stream of anything. People weren't meant to be able to give that kind of instant feedback to something they're watching.
I haven't noticed the GB chat getting much worse because it has by and large always been terrible. I almost always watch live streams from the front page these days.
edit: If you want to visit a crazy place for discussing GB, go pay $5 or whatever it costs now to get a Something Awful membership and go to that thread. Aside from 4chan it has always been the most batshit GB community.

Front page live streams for me, too. It's better to pretend chat doesn't exist. I use these threads to comment, and I think we're generally a pretty rational bunch.
i think i have used the GB forums twice

5 minute cool downs and Mods having unrelated, personal conversations filling up the entire page are staples of GB's chat. Also being unable to understand sarcasm and jokes is a chat trademark. It's a great experience.
I stopped reading it months and months ago. Opening up these threads and following on here have been my go to for a long time now.
Depends on which ones they are. Check out the amiibo OT and tears continue to pour everyday.
I'm not gonna be too hard on mods cracking down on things left and right in chat because of how fast things moves, and how bad things can get. So I get the "ban first, ask questions later" attitude and I welcome it in some ways. Draconian moderation is what any live chat needs.
But still, yeah, I tend to stay away from live chats in general (the Awesome Games Done Quick chat is probably the worst chat I've ever witnessed, but that's a discussion for another day).
I hate PS4 Twitch streams with the chat on the stream because there's always people who try to be 2edgy4me with awful shitposting, and I'm so worried of that happening that I can't really focus on the stream itself.

I've been a premium member for years now and the forums were a place I wanted to start participating in but even pre-Patrick and Dan they were a place I wasn't enjoying. Since they added Patrick and Dan they've gotten considerably more intolerable to me.

my reward for trying to make jokes in chat is usually being warned by the mods
everyone's a critic

I don't actually have a problem with the actual modding, it just gets annoying when the global cool down is like 4 minutes and three mods are talking about their PC build or something with no cool down. Just makes it worthless.
The first Mario Party Party stream was when I swore off Chat for good.
Huh, I never had any issues with their mods in chat. What did you say?
You're probably referencing some strange sexual anime in chat or something. I'm onto you.
qlcrew has something like that, and Fattony does it too IIRC.

Wasn't there some dude with a chat log for every live video? The Stump Sock Mystery can be solved.

Full disclosure:
During Patrick's P.T. live stream I typed 'put your dick in it', while drinking, when a mysterious hole appeared in a bathroom. I got like a 48 hour chat ban or something. It's a dumb, unoriginal comment but considering I've never posted anything bad before (or much at all) I thought that was a little excessive. Especially since a lot of other people started making the same/similar joke after I got banned.
Messaged Rorie about it and he leveled with me. Rorie is a good dude and it was cool of him to treat me like an adult after a long day of work when he is probably inundated with inane bullshit all day.

Yeah he would probably be referencing strange, sexual J-pop.

lol, Jesus. GB's own version of 'Hafu nudes'. I don't remember that but I'm not surprised.
Everyone else will hate it confirmed.

Listening to old Bombcasts as I usually do, thank goodness for Ryan editing out spoilers. I wish they did that now instead of just putting notes on the podcast page.

watching Dan calmly fail over and over in Badland while they talk about E-40 and Lonely Island is pretty great
They weren't close to doing that all the time back then either IIRC. That was more the exception than the rule, wasn't it?

I wonder if there will be a game that gets them to do another spoilercast. Those have been some of my favorite GB content ever.
Maybe MGS V will warrant one.

It didn't happen a lot, but it happened the few times it need to be done.
He also edited out the infamous Resident Evil 4 digression.
30 minutes on the cutting room floor.
But, yeah, Ryan was a great host usually.

What Ryan said to Patrick when he came back after his father passed was one of the most genuinely kind things I've ever heard. I think it summed up what type of guy Ryan was pretty succinctly.
Ryan had such a deft touch at handling all types of discussion and knowing when to let guys go and when to switch gears. Vinny's inquisitiveness is also something I/the Bombcast miss.

Hey, second time that GB makes it to the front page of 9gag in 2 weeks lol

I remember that gif blowing up on Reddit too back in the day.
edit: Going by the Bombcast it seems like they've already got a location in LA for the E3 stuff. This is almost too professional.
Of course they do lol.. They always had them at least a month or two before E3. It's not the kind of thing you book 2 weeks before the show.
Yeah, I guess. It's probably that we haven't heard anything about it this year that made it seem way smoother than previous years. I remember them talking about going to LA and stuff like that last year.
