So GB back in everybodies good graces?

They were never in my bad graces, but I found the panel to be lame other than the excitement over whatever Jeff and Brad saw. Hopefully they will be able to say soon.

We'll have to see how the new hire for SF turns out before I can pass judgement, honestly.

Dan brought the energy and excitement back to the website after its darkest times. I don't know how the hell you could possibly replace that.

Increasing burn out and cynicism?

 

[EdReedFan20]

When Dan goes to NYC, what will Jason do? Apart from the last month, they've been working in the same place for many, many years.

 

[Basileus777]

Is this a real endurance run where we're getting several episodes a week or just a rebranded version of the features they're been running forever?

Relax finally.

Weekday updates.

Poor Drew, first Alexis then Danny then Dan, losing all of his weekend-gaf boyfriends

Be very happy for his friend, I'd guess.

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Its a shame Dragonball Xenoverse 2 comes out in late October. That would be a great for Vinny to expose Dan to that majesty and wonder that is a Dragonball game.

I want that game to be good. The first one was like, a great idea executed poorly.

Be very happy for his friend, I'd guess.

That can't be it.

There are a lot of fighting games that have yet to be ranked.

New ep every day they said (i think)

this.

 

[jbug617]

Dan left SF for NY food. That will be the only way he will kick his Taco Bell habit.

my guess a VR game

 

[LegoArmo]

The voices in this game are creepy as fuck.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

That's pretty awesome.

I missed the panel, so I'm wondering if they addressed whether they're going to keep doing ERs even after Shenmue is finished. If so, then that's pretty much what the popular youtube groups do: long-running LPs everyday as the main content with one-off game videos and other features sprinkled throughout the week.

 

[EdReedFan20]

this.

Yeah, he has an actual son to take care of now ;p

Jeff essentially said Shenmue 2 is next once Dan moves to NY in the Winter. Nothing else was elaborated on.

they were bad dubs. it was never good.

I hope so! If a VR game impressed Jeff enough to say that, it must be something.

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

As far as I'm concerned the defining feature of an Endurance Run is that it be a weird Japanese game set in a small town where the mood swings from goofy to oddly self-serious. So this seems like a solid pick.

It's hard to say with so much stuff coming up, PS Experience, TGS, Nintendo Thingies.

 

[ScaryShark]

So, they recorded this ER when Dan was there and did all the other stuff too? Dan really is the hardest working man in video games.

I remember the time when the amazing-game-we-can't-talk-about-yet was No Man's Sky.

I see mindcavity more often, is bionicpuppy his GAF username? I was going by game tags. >_>

Yakuza 3 endurance run confirmed next

 

[Jintor]

oh right bionic is his gaf name

so dan perma moving huh. Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh yeah west is gonna take a content hit... they desperately need new talent on that side of the coast.

Guess the plan was rotate in Dan for Austin and hire up on the east coast... hope that comes to fruition soon because that side desperately needs someone high energy

 

[Gozer the Gozerian]

Yakuza 3 endurance run confirmed next

I never played the series but from the snippets I've seen this would be just as great a choice as Shenmue.

 

[LiK]

who will be the next person destined for greatness with the GB crew? i feel bad for them because Dan is a tough position to fill.

 

[cb1115]

Vinny and Dan together forever

best timeline

 

[Toparaman]

My favorite GB playthroughs are weird story-focused stuff like MGS1-4, Contradiction, etc. so Shenmue seems perfect.

 

[Data West]

so jeff and brad are going to wave dan away and then slowly turn to look at the empty coming soon docket

and realize what they've done to themselves

 

[hiphoptherobot]

Yakuza 3 endurance run confirmed next

I wish. Unfortunately, Dan mentions that he hates the Yakuza series in the first episode of the Shenmue ER.

 

[Antiwhippy]

This ER is so fucking good omg.

Shemnue was the best choice just due to how dumb it is.

 

[Jintor]

this isn't strictly related but i wanted to say some people were ragging on austin because they didn't want politics in their video games and i was thinking about how nice it must be to be able to be blind to the ideas and concepts that permeate every inch of reality

 

[K.Sabot]

I wish. Unfortunately, Dan mentions that he hates the Yakuza series in the first episode of the Shenmue ER.

its funny cause Yakuza is just shenmue with a better combat system and less qtes.

 

[trh]

I just hate the fact that I've been conditioned to think that whenever there's something to be announced regarding Giantbomb I automatically assume it's inherently negative - like someone leaving. It's nerve-racking.

and more cool guy stuff

dan only likes poorly written pseudo-intellectual cool guy stuff like mgs though

 

[MassiveNights]

Guys I did it. I exorcised the bad feeling spirit out of this thread and transferred it to the new vessel of that new thread.

You're welcome.

 

[hiphoptherobot]

Agreed. I honestly wrote the series off until pretty recently. I just played 4 and 5 within the last couple of months though and now am super excited for 0 in January.

 

[LiK]

man, i wonder how many parts Shenmue ER will take. a full playthrough already. i forget how long the game was.

 

[FStop7]

Congrats Dan, it definitely seems like NYC is a better fit for what he enjoys. I still think he will someday end up at the WWE and this brings him much closer to their HQ.

 

[Blastoise]

Dan is going to become a family man. With a mortgage and a joint bank account. Are we ready for this?

 

[TraBuch]

Dan's hatred of Yakuza honestly boggles my mind.

 

[Data West]

Yakuza also has more pro wrestling style swerves than any other video game

 

[LiK]

Dan's hatred of Yakuza honestly boggles my mind.

i think he approached the game the wrong way. it has everything he likes. so yea, i don't get it either.
