I am down a whole lot in recent months.
I skip most random steam trash QL's and I find myself fast forwarding most UPF's. (seriously. Every segment these days drags on at least 15 minutes longer then it should and feels drawn out)

I'm the exact opposite haha, I always watch at home. Podcasts is mostly when I'm busy with shit I have to do, otherwise I'd listen while playing games I already beat(second playthroughts). Live podcasts certainly will change things so hopefully I'll be able to join in if the timing is right and all but we'll see (UPF for me starts 1:00am lol).
A lot of my watching is done in bed these days. Either just before I go to sleep or on the weekend when I want to pretend like I'm awake but have no interest in vertical living.
That song is literally the reason I loved part 1 and got stuck halfway through the Stand stuff. Holy shit Yes is so hype.
For the last 3 - 4 months I'd be at 0% but now I'm slowly making my way through the premium content I missed.

For me, it's almost everything. The only things I don't consume are The Powerbombcast and (while it was premium) Alt-F1. I don't listen to every episode of Danswers, just ones depending on the guest. As for the videos, I watch everything. Maybe not to completion, maybe with some skipping, but I watch each thing, even their Alt-F1 track walks, despite not listening to the podcast.
Good to see you again, Piston.
Vinny responded to me talking about Fantasy Sicily so that was cool.

Giant Bomb #23 | I love Brad. I love Vinny. I love Giant Bomb.
I liked it quite a bit. It's a slower show, which put a ton of people off. It's mostly about hanging out with these child soldiers and seeing them grow (for better and worse) through their journey. It's an interesting take and focuses on some of the really messed up parts of war Gundam tends to gloss over. There are a couple arcs in the middle that are rushed and overly heavy handed, but when the show really hones in on its character moments it's great. Definitely looking forward to season 2. What little action there is looks super duper nice as well.

The secret is that I've dropped TV and movies nearly entirely!
I multitask a lot. I watch GB while I'm doing shit around the house, playing video games, etc. I don't watch that much TV, so I'm easily able to fit in most of their content as background noise at the very least.

I could not risk watching Vinny or Paul shenanigans at work.

My shitty work laptop would probably die if I tried playing GBs video player on it.

Yep i got some long ago but even now you can still see them if you look hard enough
Same.
Currently running it at 1920x1200 (which is below my native res of 2560x1600) with literally every setting on low.
Normally sits around 40-60, but some of the outside areas see it drop down to the 20 range =[
Core i7 870 with 2GB GTX 670s in SLI will do that to you.
Can't wait for the 1070 and 1080s to come out.
I started going through all the old videos that I missed, so much content.
So much good content at least.

Starting new playthrough of Witcher, I knew you met his before but I totally forgot he was the first dude you talk to. (Heart of Stone related) Doh.

I have Giantbomb and assorted video content in a separate window. Podcasts are saved for fitness stuff, although I pause for heavy weights after learning the hard way about abrupt laughing. Nice system seeing as how when I gather a backlog, I know I've been lazy. And conversely, when I have to put on a Danswers, I know it's been a productive week...Just realized I haven't listened to Danswers in 2016 yet.
Also, GBEast Mailbag is great.

I don't think that is how that went.
Well, on the one hand that is kinda on them, for mostly showing up at those times, but on the other I get it, because if the thread is saying "Brad and Dan were hilarious" or "Man, this Quick Look is awesome" it's probably awkward for them to pop in and say "yeah, we're really funny" or "thanks!" after every good comment.
In general it's easier to respond to something that actually elicits a response or creates the possibility of a back and forth (like generally happens with criticism). I think it also depends on how that criticism is conveyed and how unfair it sounds.
It is cool when they drop by in good spirits (Dan and Austin do that sometimes) but I mean, this thread shifts so much and is hard to follow even for us, let alone GB guys who maybe look at this from time to time.
WE LOVE YOU BRAD! DON'T BE MAD AT US!
For real tho, I'd be interested in what a "day in the life" of everyone at the site is. Even the boring ass stuff, like "I sit in meetings" or biz dev or whatever. Dave Lang makes that boring stuff interesting in Team GFB Radio, I'm sure the GB crew could do better since they are actually much more likable and entertaining.

It's great. The massive Khan series is my favorite, though I'm not sure if that's free anymore.

Whiplash as Doom's campaign goes from my biggest pleasant surprise in gaming in... probably ever, followed up by crushing disappointment in SnapMap.

yeah I'll also back the Khan series, so good.
re GB content, I usually have it on in the background at work, or on in the background at home.
Yup. The lack of a proper map editor is very disappointing.

really I'm very good at multitasking because I'm doing this no matter what else I may be doing at the time. but at a certain point it's like breathing, or blinking. it's just a part of you.
This is automatically candidate one for the next thread. Combination titles are the best.
I love this thread. I love that the GB crew occasionally pops in to say Hi. This thread is why I joined NeoGAF. But that fact that it can be so shitty frustrates me to no end.
I'm glad Prophets of Doom is still free. That's an amazing episode. My favorite series is probably Death Throes of the Republic. I would say it's well worth the ten dollars when you run out of free stuff. Ghosts of the Ostfront is also amazing.

It kind of makes me sad to see that people think Homefront invented the term "Norks". That term has been around since the Korean War. I guess it is called "the forgotten war" for a reason
If I didn't hear it in M*A*S*H*, it didn't happen during the Korean War. Checkmate, atheists.
As someone who just pops into this thread now and then mostly to lurk I have to say that to people outside of this community it seems like a place of constant complaining. For the GB dudes it would probably feel a little absurd to read. I don't think most of these complaints would have even entered my mind if I hadn't checked this thread - and one should perhaps reflect and think about how 'healthy' it is for your enjoyment of something to always be looking for faults. I consume GB content every day and feel like it's packed with stuff to watch compared to other video game sites. Of course it's not flawless, and you should voice your honest opinions, but when 80% of your fan thread consists of pointing out flaws..
man i don't know if the fact that it's real racism makes it better or worse
I go away to sleep and both Vinny and Brad post here. Damn you time zones.
Also, I don't want to dig this back up, but I feel the need to say that when I asked what their day to day work life was it wasn't because I thought they didn't do anything. I am just curious about that stuff. I'm sure they all work plenty so I didn't mean it as an offense.
