Yepp. They are the worst.

I liked the AI discussion in the Alone with You QL cause I just had a similar discussion with a friend.
I remember watching Interstellar and kept thinking "Alright, when is this robot going to kill everybody...any minute now......."

Did you know that there are apparently people out there who don't like Rorie? Crazy, I know.
Hate is a strong word.....but if he never appeard on any future content I wouldnt complain.
And Undertale got knocked off best music.
Last year was full of mistakes.
I feel like that was more of Austin and Vinny just not fighting enough for it.
Like for example, Jeff's argument against it was "I'm tired of 8bit music" and Undertale has tons of music that's not 8bit but they failed to mention a single one.

I might be late to the party, but why did they rename Panamanian to League of Heels? Are they trying to divorce the show from PAX? Maybe PAX pressured them so they wouldn't be associated? Sorry, I have pretty much stopped following Paxamania for the last year...
CAH was on Fallon last night. Just in time for casual google searches to lead people to tonight's panel.
I'm not sure that google name searches is what Max Tamkin is looking for the most.

Yeah, I'll definitely wait a couple of weeks until PAX is over. I hate PAX so much.

Edit: Or not, you wrote his name wrong.
Really though, it's kinda funny that we're lamenting the fact that a big gaming event is going on and the duders are going there.
There used to be a time where them going to events led to fun content but alas.
I get why they're doing it, it makes sense for them to be doing it, but it prevents them from doing what I want and pay them to do. Create content.
Especially for me as a European PAX is just awful all around.

And on top of that they go to multiple ones of these.

For me PAX can be summed up as my whole twitter feed yelling "LOOK HOW MUCH I'M HAVING SOOOOO MUCH FUN AT THIS PARTY WHERE YOU'RE NOT AT" for a week.
A bit like when you're the only person that doesn't drink at a party.
The panels go from "fucking terrible" to "ok" at best. Then we don't have content on the site for a couple of days leading up to the event and a couple of days the next week where the whole staff is sick and tired.

At least the holiday season is upon us with plenty of games and potentially two live streams with the PSVR and PS4 Neo launch.

What is the value of going to PAX outside of having fun? Is it good for advertising or something?

I wonder if after the Sony press conference next week they'll have Alex call in to the post-show. He's going to it, I think. It would suck for Alex if he gets the PAX Plague and then needs to go to the conference.

Advertising and subscriber retention. I'm sure some members even feel entitled to visit a panel for paying their fee. It makes sense to strengthen this bond between the viewer and the content provider but A) nowadays EVERYONE does that and B) Giant Bomb feels like it's gradually moving away from their paid business model (to me anyway).

They like interacting with their fans. It's like the unfulfilled idea of the road show from the early days. They are locked up in the office talking into cameras every day. It must be nice to get out and meet the people that are actually watching. I would go to one of these myself if I could afford it.

Wat?

Their biggest streams are free. Most of their content is free. They don't have a set schedule for premium content. Maybe I'm seeing things that aren't there but to me most of their effort goes into gaining more free (YouTube) subscribers. Which makes sense. I'm not criticizing them for that.

You should listen to the latest mixlr. Starts about 10:25. Talks a little about youtube, premium, future...

They are biggest because they are free. Demo Derby and Game Tapes would be huuuuge on Youtube.

Has anyone been watching that Pokemon let's play that Griffin McElroy's been doing? I've been enjoying it way more than I would have thought as someone who doesn't generally like solo videos.

Do they release like one or two of those as teasers on YouTube like "subscribe to get more of this"? I supported my first Patreon because a duo I liked posted videos from a series I wanted to see more of
That's why I always thought they should make them availably for everyone at a later point in time. Would be great advertisement to go premium
I might as well just drop my sub at that point. That's the only good premium content going rn.

They're doing commentary over the Neo thing, right?
Yes.

Youtubers really are awful, awful people.
But where else will I find grown men yelling at me about One Man's LIE?
I'm not sure that google name searches is what Max Tamkin is looking for the most.
Probably the kind of thing he should've thought of before raping a lady. Or passive-aggressively threatening to sue the lady who accused him of rape.
What a scumbag.

Patrick's not that bad ;p
But seriously, I assume you mean people who are only known as YouTubers, not people like Patrick or the Kinda Funny guys who were already well known prior to their channels being started.
Youtubers really are awful, awful people.
Poor Patrick
anyway, plenty of good Youtubers exist. You just need to watch the good ones.
