It's funny how quickly that Bombcast thread turned into the driveby shit on GB thread.
Should have been locked by page 3 honestly.

One laptop would be cool, get Austin on it in case there is any breaking shit online or to check whatever Kickstarter is on the Sony stage.
The biggest complaint I ever see are 'those dudes are too cynical'. Which is weird. No one ever has anything of substance to say.

Because they don't bother to actually dig into GB material at all. A lot of people have watched one video or saw the gif comparison last year and made their decision on how all of GB must be, ignoring the background of these guys in the industry much less their personal preferences towards games.
I'll admit it took me a number of podcasts before I really warmed up to them back when I first started. For the internet, more than one is too much.

Just wait for the Fifa 17 announcement.

Is it weird that I want to see them recreate these in real life?

Most of these complaints seemed to conveniently crop up around E3 last year, the people making these complaints have likely never made any actual attempt to watch any GB content and just get upset at them not being excited for games they have zero reason to be excited for.
Funnily enough, the most unfair criticism came from a GB thread regular.

I don't get how people get so upset at an outlet for not liking some dumb game they like. If you don't even care about the site in general, why does it matter?

Really? You can't see how people who are extremely excited about a game existing might be mad at people who have more relaxed reactions?
Like dude I don't think people should be losing their minds over game announcements but come on.
If you don't give a shit about an outlet, what does it matter to you if they aren't losing their minds over what you like? Hell, even if you do follow an outlet, what does it matter?
You didn't see see getting all pissy about places that aren't front paging every bit of Persona 5 news or report on the initial silly reveal countdown.
I mean, just look at review threads. People like to have their opinion validated by all sorts of outlets and people.

If there is one thing the internet hates it's indifference. You can either be extremly happy or extremly mad about something and nothing else.
"FUCK YEAH!" and "FUCK THAT!" are okay, "Meh" is not.
Just look at Youtube.
I understand the mechanics of how it happens. I've been on the internet long enough.
I just don't understand how people put so much silly personal validation on random external sources.

Man, is there a good download manager for PC that can deal with it when the internet goes out for some time? I have one on my tablet that doesn't care but my PC is always like "Oh, the internet went out for 5 seconds? Guess what, I just lost the 96% of the video you wanted to download, lol"
There has to be one, right? If my tablet can do it my PC should also be able to do that, right?

I'd watch this illegal wrestling
Basically yeah.
This:
is not the reaction people are looking for.
Getting mad at them for not caring is of course dumb, but to be fair a lot of GB fans also tend to be too defensive.
They are cynical which is a plus to many people. They're also probably too cynical for those who are pointing it out. It's fine but I agree that it's a weird thing to just drive by and post about. I don't think anyone is going around stating the exact opposite against other sites. "They're too optimistic"

Firefox continues where you left off after a DC on most downloads. Or just use torrents.
It's weird. Not every site releases content for everyone. You don't see me going into Kinda Funny threads posting about how unfunny I find Greg Miller or go into Easy Allies threads and call them naive. Sometimes, an outlet just isn't for you.
I'm just weirdly excited to see more FF VII so I can continue to have an extremely strange and abusive relationship with that game.
I've played through it 3 times and really want to play the remake, and yet as a whole it's one of my least favorite JRPGs ever. I just really want to see that game be what people claim it is. With some tweaking, it could be a really special game.

I thought the PSX footage of FF7R, though REAL choppy, looked super fucking cool. I'm definitely eager to see more.
I hope the new versions of the music is as good as that Distant Worlds version of Bombing Run.

This is the craziest thing about the outcry. The announcements for Shenmue and FF 7 were basically nothing at this point, which is what they reacted to, Shenmue specifically which was an announcement for a god damn kickstarter.

There was gameplay of it? Damn I forgot.
Wonder if theyll show more this E3. Iirc runors were going around that CC2 waz developing it and the first episode would be out by this December
I will probably also continue to just listen to the audio, but I`ll go back to the video if there`s a particularly great moment. But either way it seems like they`re really aware of the fact that it shouldn`t impact the audio, so this is just adding something for others and I`m happy with that. It seems incredibly smart to have the Bombcast as some kind of timed exclusive for Premium members while it`s streaming since it`s by far the most popular thing they do.
People get really angry when you criticize the FFXII English VA, huh? Wow. Haha. I did not expect the reaction I got in the FFXII thread.
CC2 is confirmed to be doing the heavy lifting. That being said, I bet we get Part 1 next year. December is too early, even with CC2 being a dev that can deliver things on time.

They confirmed the CC2 stuff back at PSX. No way Episode 1 launches this year - too close to FFXV, and next year is the 20th anniversary of FF7.

The video part is not what interests me. It's the live part. If it's Tuesday morning Pacific time, I can watch it live while I work.

There was a few years where I'd listen to Bombcast twice a week, so I'm looking forward to seeing if I get back into that with audio+video being slightly different experiences.

I was thinking the same! Depending on what time of day they record, I'll likely miss a lot of it live.

Since someone said Alex is heading to SF, that means potential Alex Bombcast.
I don't know how many edgy suicide jokes I can take.
Sweet.

Yeah, I disagree with you on that too. I like the FFXII VO.
And the guys were completely right that besides these big, third-party announcements, Sony's E3 2015 conference was rather empty and not full of much else. They saw through it all and of course nutters would jump on them for being "cynical".

Imagine if they had video podcast.
thanks for reminding me to put this in the E3 thread
I'm really shocked how well liked it is. I hadn't heard anything particular about it prior to booting it up this year. After about 3 hours I was looking for a Japanese VA patch and was sad one didn't exist. I honestly think most of the main cast have awful line deliveries. Fran in particular is unlistenable to me.
Oh well, to each their own. I'm fine with being a minority opinion on this one.
Imagine if they had video podcast.
What video is this? how can they do this if Vinny is one camera?
Bakalar mans the cameras in all of GB East's content.

We may also see Alex commit double suicide if he drives car this time.
