I used to post on WrassleGAF more than any other thread on GAF. About 2 years ago it got impossible to deal with... I stoped and now just poke my head in every now and then... sometimes I shake my head... a lot.
The NXT Takeover threads every few months seem to be a bit saner.

If this is something anyone's interested in: "I made a script to download GiantBomb videos via the command line."

I've bitten my tongue until now, but it's one of the most miserable, insular, disrespectful, insufferable shitholes on this website. It's like a vacuum where you can get away with all sorts of shittiness that'd be shut down immediately on any other part of the forum.
Please do. They have more than enough content to justify an OT.

Jintor if you ever want help with that thread, shoot me a PM. I figure even if it's not something I'm good at having multiple people working on it is a good way to force it to get done.
Edit: The question is, would we do it on gaming community or OT community? Obviously they've got gaming stuff but the vast majority of their content isn't gaming focused.

The Witness seems like a fancy Talos Principle. I enjoyed that game though, so interested in The Witness.
Been a while since I played a proper Puzzle Game.

You should ask for modship since you seem to know everything about policing a community you're not a part of.

There's a reason I'm not a part of it.

Hey don't talk about GB-GAF that wa-- oh
probably ot since the podcasts I consume are mainly MBMBAM and the Adventure Zone
But you'll talk all kinds of shit about it in your little safe zone while it's not around.
OT might make more sense considering the like thousand different podcasts between the brothers.

For some reason, all of the best Giant Bomb moments relate to food somehow. (See also: Brad's hamster impression; twinkie pit; cake flush thing that apparently really happened.)

What has happened to Patrick since he left? He is even starting to use those terrible youtube thumbnails now.
Why Patrick?

I'll fire up Downwell for a run or two during my commute. But I will sink hours into Spelunky, BoI, and the current king, Nuclear Throne.

...Oh dear.
Peeg is such a ugly word, though. I try to block it out when I can.

I only brought it up since others were talking about it. I'm not going out of my way to shit on the place or attacking anybody individually.
Regardless, I've said my piece, it's probably best we just drop it.

He did the same thing with that trailer reaction video.
Credit where credit's due, though: He seems to be revisiting the video essay format that I lamented the lack of a while back.

There's nothing wrong with that style of thumbnail. There is a craft to it though and it starts with understanding contrast between text and image.
Oh yeah, there's tons of data on that. That's why you see so many big LPers doing the WEIRD FACE in every thumbnail etc. You gotta play that game if you want to grow on YT. The Kinda Funny guys are pretty big on the HUGE picture of a woman with them as a tiny part of the thumbnail for example.

The only use I find in them is knowing what videos not to click.

Yeah, it's just a shitty thumbnail overall.

It's still weird to see him do these in-depth articles and videos that you can take seriously contrasted with typical YouTube pandering.
They're not for us though.
The "science" of YT has always been pretty interesting to me, but I don't engage much with the content. GB takes up enough of my time. I'm sure I would've loved PewDiePie etc. if I was growing up now.

You're right. I just wish I could have a Chrome extension that blocked every youtube thumbnail with a face. They make me irrationally angry.

I would totally have a Rorie gif for that if I was on my PC! Picture Rorie giving you a thumbs up.

It's a work of Internet broadcast art. Everything came together perfectly.

Honestly Brad seemed too busy thinking about the Witness to really take in what Rorie was asking lol. Mary is the only one who seemingly noticed what Rorie was saying. Brads just on his end going like 'yeah, I wrote that review! Whoo! Recipes!'

Thinking about that 5 star score.
Oh man, I hope so. I replayed Braid recently and have been getting stupidly excited for The Witness

I don't know if I'm going to get what I want out of the Witness. Based on what I've read in an interview or two, Blow seems to think the importance of Braid is in the narrative, whereas I think it's in the inventive puzzles and gameplay.
