Looks like they swapped them? Showing them swapped on my end too.




Jeff should pick out the emails and Brad read them from now on. Brad not knowing what he is going to read is great.

I had to see if this is a thing ....

Looks tasty In this pic.

Wouldn't mind trying if prepared decently

This is Spin levels of cooking.

#FE is the best (and closest) sequel we'll ever get to Digital Devil Saga

I'm hoping Austin was there for the QL... I can still hope, right?

Needs more traumatic transhumanism, Vedic theming, and cannabalism to get anywhere near DDS.

To be fair on Dan, at least his immediate reaction was disbelief and disgust that such a system can be in place.

What gets me about these type of situations is always the "OMG U DON KNOW?!?!?" sort of "cool in club" mentality from people hearing about even proper responces.

No, you ain't thought this process over much. Not a bit.

First Gamespot gets speedrunners, now Colbert gets speedrunners. Giantbomb is a fine CBS property, too. Why aren't they getting speedrunners?

Time for more stupid review observations

• Unfortunately, Austin did not cross my review threshold to make many observations on his scoring tendencies.
• Austin wrote fewer reviews than Matt Kessler
• Inside is the first 5 star rating they've give to an Xbone version of a game.
• I'm pretty sure it was Giant Bomb's 700th review.
• Brad still has the highest review mean: 3.83 vs the site's 3.53.
• (Austin's mean was also 3.83, but on only six reviews.)
• Brad's review of Inside keeps the streak alive to have at least one review each month. That hasn't happened since 2013.
• 2016 has the highest average rating out of any year of Giant Bomb's existence: 3.78.

Giantbomb is all about those slowrunners instead.

Didn't they have some on the last Big Live Live Show Live?

I know. That made me queasy.
That sounds like when I was 300 pounds.

 

[AuthenticM]

Dan buys 120 cans of soda every two weeks.

His kidney stone should materialize soon.

 

[wenis]

Oh man yea. If he keeps that regiment up. I don't know how many ounces of water you'd need to drink to balance that out. Lots of legumes and water.

Best time to be playing video games, now scientifically proven.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I think I've played more games that are from this year than 2014 & 2015 combined.

2014 especially is a blur.

 

[Aarglefarg]

It would be a kidney rock.

 

[derFeef]

I never understood the dedication, or more like addiction to soda. Same way I don't understand why people buy bottled water (when there is good piped water available).

 

[Antiwhippy]

Because it tastes nice?

I dunno, until there's actual hard, concrete proof that diet soda is going to cause me to die in my 50s I'll keep drinking it. I still drink plenty of water, but let me enjoy my coke zero too.

 

[Jintor]

i just don't like the taste of any diet sodas.

i'm trying to wean myself off soda for the umpteenth time

 

[Tubobutts]

I don't like the taste of most non diet soda. But also I haven't had any sort of soda in some amount of months.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I think I've unwittingly trained myself to dislike non-diet soda.

Is this information in a shared Google doc or is it locked away?

what games did kessler review?

 

[Salarians]

I stopped drinking all soda a few years back, primarily just drink water and coffee. My old "main" sodas taste gross now. Still, I like a cherry or grape soda like three times a year.

Got a box of Tab recently, it's alright. Not as sassy as advertised.

Man, I keep hoping matt "created the most viewed video on giantbomb" kessler would appear at the late night E3 shows one of these days.

He's too busy being the person who is actually running Sony.

 

[Antiwhippy]

If only i became an intern at gb, i could be running a mega corporation right now!

 

[Chuck]

Hmm, I wonder if they would get more youtube views if they went more after the thumbnail business like some do.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Yes. They should definitely start doing thumbnails like these.

 

[Tubobutts]

I think if the do that they should also start dressing more revealing. Rorie is the only one who has been half naked.

 

[Catvoca]

Hmm, I wonder if they would get more youtube views if they went more after the thumbnail business like some do.

Thumbnail stuff seems like it's mostly there to attract kids who want dumb YouTube stuff, and they're not really GB's audiance so I don't think they would actually make much of a difference.

Yes. They should definitely start doing thumbnails like these.

Maybe I'm wrong though, because I want to watch these videos now lol, they look so bad.

 

[Myggen]

Hmm, I wonder if they would get more youtube views if they went more after the thumbnail business like some do.

There's a lot of stuff they could do if they want to attract more YT viewers. They could for example begin to name their YT videos Gameplay instead of Quick Look, as the interns experimented with back in the day. A number of their most popular videos on YT are random QLs from that time that are named Name Of Game - Gameplay.

That obviously gives people the impression that it's raw gameplay and not people talking over it, which will make a lot of people extremely mad (as seen in the comments of those videos) and is probably not a very good idea. But if you want a lot more viewers that's a sure way to do it.

I'm glad Dan is getting that Sailboat magazine I signed him up for.

Really really cool video from a GB fan who made a steel logo of GB. Via Dave's Twitter

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Q4SYJ7AY2s&feature=youtu.be

Not sure I'm a huge fan of the paint distressing but other than that it's a really fucking cool video.

Lovely video, give it a watch.
I think the guys should hang it up in the podcast room, should go great with the future video podcasts.

YouTube sure can be a really cool platform for all sorts of video makers. Love just stumbling upon channels like these.

 

[ArjanN]

Dan buys 120 cans of soda every two weeks.

Even besides the assault on your own insides, wouldn't it be a lot cheaper to just buy bigger bottles?

 

[FlammableD]

The new video room is so sterile compared to the old one, get some tat up in there

 

[Scizzy]

Dan buys 120 cans of soda every two weeks.

Did he mention if they're all for him? Maybe his girlfriend and his roommate drink some too?

 

[Peru]

Going through all the kinect quick looks... worthless games, but golden moments in every QL. I guess that's what VR is for now.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Brad still has the highest review mean: 3.83 vs the site's 3.53.

But what does mean mean?

Spoiler

I know what mean means.

 

[Antiwhippy]

You're mean mean.

 

[Volotaire]

Don't you mean that you're mean?

 

[Tubobutts]

What would knowing the mean mean mean?
