Wouldn't that mean that you only have good experiences of Persona Golden the Anime though?

I do, but that episode had enough Marie to warn me of the garbage on the horizon.

This looks like an Early Access game I would love to watch Dan play.
So you are telling me that this guy is working on his PhD and has deep knowledge of video games, anime and wrestling? I'm not convinced he's real yet. Sounded a lot like Jeff Bakalar on the podcast anyway, maybe he just did another voice.
Oh...bud...

I am already looking forward to the Vinny QL for Yandere Simulator.
Or Creeper Jeff... Hmmmm.
WHY DO WE HAVE TO CHOOSE! WE USE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE BOTH!
Things where so much better before, you guys.

We can still have both! Vinny does the QL and Jeff does a weird home stream like he did for Funky Barn.

The Bombcast is pretty popular. The site has 20k+ premium users. It must do alright.

Alright what the fuck Cruchyroll? That's a legit major anime of the 90s with a bombing soundtrack and you don't bother to have at least the dub?
Pretty small I'm guessing.
I think Jeff said it gets about 100,000 downloads per week.

Big hitters like IGN/Gamespot/Kotaku with years and years of Google climbing? Small.
I'm pretty sure GB is like top of the middle-tier sites, with the Bombcast being ridiculously huge.
But the premium membership kinda makes it difficult to compare, because they've managed to crack a nut everyone else fails at.
That ranking more or less lines up with the Alexa rankings.
Yeah, there's really not another videogame website out there that's raking in 20,000 X $35-50 each year from subscriptions.
It hangs near the top of the second tier of sites. Ign are way in front, gamespot behind them.
With the subscriber base and the relatively small staff - I suspect CBS are pretty happy with them. I don't know how sites like polygon continue to be funded with all their overhead.

Can't be, Dan understands Giant Bomb.

I can't wait for the subscriber account real money black market.
I am not sure why media corps continue to fund big vg sites. IGN has been on top for 10 years - in which time it never once made a profit. Newscorp tried and failed to spin it off, eventually selling it at a substantial loss. Gamespot will pay for two stages at E3 and yet be dwarfed in terms in viewers by the latest LoL twitch stream or minecraft video on youtube.

it's like the SMT of anime, if you don't count actual SMT anime
just don't bother with the sequels

Gamefaqs is pretty good for FAQs, yeah.
Also whenever I google for a solution the gamefaqs forum is usually the first one to appear.

ugh and it's always some guy who has the worst morning DJ voice possible, usually with some kind of speech impediment who spends 4 minutes winding up to the point
Don't forget that KICK ASS 30 sec long After Effect intro.
2 is okay. It has Nazis!

If you tell me to like, comment, and subscribe before you have provided the service your video claims to provide then I am finding another video.

SEO is the god of the future and they worship so hard
Holy fuck this is a pet peeve of mine.
Nah, way more IIRC.
Those are probably not accurate at all since there's not really a good way to track site traffic and trends without access to internal data. I think Alexa still gets most of their data from people who have downloaded their toolbar, which is just an awful way to collect accurate data. Alexa is also notoriously easy to manipulate.

Though funnily enough giantbomb's most popular video on youtube is exactly that... and done by kesslar.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVtKfg8T7ro
Kesslar could have made big bucks becoming a youtuber instead of going to some random company who's going to become bankrupt sooner or later.

And you're missing out on that hot camera-recorded screen action.
You're describing most of the gaming content on youtube and it's making me real sad.
Kessler mentions that fact on his LinkedIn page.

I like that they showed the Borderlands vault monster but didn't show the rakk hive which is literally a walking vagina

I actually though I heard him say 300k, As to the post you quoted, how do we know premium subs are around 20k?

They like it hairy.
