The last Game Tapes was in August
The last Demo Derby was in November (one of two in the past 6 months)

All kidding aside, Polygon's stuff works really well because they're all based around adding unusual constraints / goals to games, which a lot of the best GB features do as well (This Is the Run and Project BEAST as two examples). In contrast the features that are just "let's play some games for two hours" (Ranking of Fighters, Old Games Show, UPF) tend to be the most easily skippable for me.
Would probably not watch because of Rorie.

The last TANG was in 2010.
The last Thursday Night Throwdown was in 2013.
The last Stuff We Like Wednesday show was in 2013.
I assume Demo Derby is actually dead without Dan, regardless of whatever they say. The formula doesn't work without Dan, who was the one guy on the video series who actually used to play Demo Discs- who could then play off of Drew (who had no context for 95% of the demos/videos), and Jeff (who was in the industry at the time, and remembers playing/reviewing these games).
Have they mentioned anything about Shenmue 2? I'm not convinced it will happen if they are playing through the Yakuza series. Even if they aren't that much alike, they are superficially similar enough that I could see them thinking they are fine with just Yakuza.
Regardless I've been very happy with the premium content on both coasts so far this year. I hope they can keep it up.

I don't think you could have described a more impossible piece of GB content. Drew livestreaming from the moon is more plausible.

What about a podcast where Jeff, Drew and Brad answer questions that people send in and also answer some Yahoo questions.

When are we getting the Bloodborne review?
Ranked List of Impossible GB Features
(top means more impossible, bottom more likely to happen)
1. Persona 5 Endurance Run (jeff+vinny)
2. GB West Shenmue 2 endurance run
3. Drew on the Moon
4. Game Tapes
5. Persona 5 Endurance Run (any form)
feel free to add on
They already did a whole playthrough of Shenmue. Blight Club has been going for a while.

I still maintain that this was a good idea

Some people really don't like the suggestions people have mentioned on the last few pages and there is some weird saltiness about it. I don't see anyone saying they have to do any of these ideas like THEY NEED TO DO IT OR IM CANCELLING MY SUB GUYS. They are pretty good suggestions for UPF segments, IMO
I still haven't listened/watched all of the latest UPF but I'm up for a change of pace.

Same way I reacted to Metal Gear Scanlon. Closing the browser and moving on with my life.
Forreal, Griffin's a content machine in the Dan school of quickness. I could take or leave Nick Robinson.
I couldn't get into it at all, don't care for Russ Frushtick at all and Justin's not especially great at improvising.

Why are you suggesting things they wouldnt like.
I think youre misunderstanding Giant Bomb. They always did things they liked to do. Except Mario Party
They should play DDR on the street and live stream from the studio like they did that one time Dan was looking for the PlayStation truck.
A series where Jeff plays some game with online interactions would be great. Something like rec room shenanigans. Maybe like rust or something?

So the UPF was good last night without any cringe calls?
Yeah. Drew was screening questions and it all went fine.

This is an /s post, right? I honestly can't tell. I feel like Brad takes everything super seriously.

The Culling, it's still around, but I don't think they did much to it lately. Seems like a lot of that crowd has moved to Dead by Daylight.
Regarding UPF, the call-in thing doesn't interest me if it's going to be every second week. As an occasional thing, sure, go for it. But we already have a segment on both podcasts where people can ask questions even if there's probably more questions about Stree Overlord than games. Adding a premium show on top of that seems a bit much. And yeah, I did actually like them just playing random games on UPF. But if they didn't enjoy doing it, oh well, not gonna force them or anything. There's been more than enough #content lately anyway.

Problem with west is they have have introverted personalities. Dan was a great counter balances. Vinny too
They need someone with similar energy.

They don't need Dan for Demo Derby. They only need Jeff. Him, Drew and Brad are just fine for the feature.

New Demo Derby should be Jeff, Jason, and Rorie. Jeff, Brad, and Drew would be way too low-key.
I want more videos where the guys compete against each other. That brings out the best banter and is fun to watch.
I get more enjoyment out of watching four of the dudes playing Mount your Friends for the third time than having one of them play through something super obscure while the rest struggles to not doze off. Some games just don't show well like that.

Man Metal Gear Rising was fucking amazing wasnt it
They really don't like to do that for some reason, especially Jeff and Brad.
