I don't know what to believe.

absolutely no one should ever listen to GB gaf.

PAX 08 Bombcast

Ryan is the only person in the room who has anything good to say about E3. Rorie says he wants to take E3 to the back of the shed and shoot it. Everyone in the room believes that publisher events are rapidly making conventions obsolete.

Also, right after that, Ryan's girlfriend, Anna, phones him, and he puts her on speakerphone. I think this is the only time her voice has ever been heard on Giant Bomb.

pardon

It happened almost three years ago and it still hasn't been fixed.

Don't need fixing, it's a new shitting hole.

 

[popo]

Jeff hinting that they might finally be bored of the PAX cycle.

I wouldn't be opposed to doing an event here at the office like we've done in the past, but it's not currently on our calendar. I'd like to branch out beyond (or potentially even replace) our PAX trips and see some different spots.

[Zeouterlimits]

Remember when persona 5 was meant to be out of Valentines day?

Ugh. God, it would so good to play it on Tuesday.

 

[supermetfreud]

and Giant Bomb needs to hire Jeff Cork

Please.

 

[TraBuch]

When's Catherine 2 coming out?

 

[robotrock]

oh fuck, how can we make a samurai gunn port happen on the switch?

This I can support.

I don't want to tell you how to live your life, but shitting in walls is generally frowned upon.

Really loved the beastcast this week. Definitely had a loose yet excited feel to it, reminding me of the aim chat rooms my friends and I would make during snow days back in high school.

Alex recommending everyone read Universal Harvester made me very happy, too.

Best of Giant Bomb 116 - Stuck on Ska

This video is not for the faint of heart. It contains jump scares, haunted houses, and a ska radio station.

For those that aren't up to speed.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Holy crap.

Nioh is awesome.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

but what about the co-op

 

[The Technomancer]

Good lord Noctropolis really is every single self indulgent and somewhat offensive idea from 90s comics rolled into one game.

This is incredible

 

[Death Metalist]

Holy crap.

Nioh is awesome.

I SO want to go out and buy it right now however, I'll wait till I fully finish Yakuza 0 so I can delve deep into Nioh.

 

[Antiwhippy]

but what about the co-op

Eh I don't even like to co-op that much in souls games.

I got it today and entered into like a fugue state for 6 hours or so.

Oh man I forgot Universal Harvester was out! I was a huge fan of Wolf in White Van.

So nearly 5 years later, what do you guys think of the CBS buyout of GB? I'm still waiting for CBS to sack everyone and absorb GB into Gamespot.

 

[Lunar FC]

Just saw it. It's great.

There's a scene towards the beginning that gave me some heavy Hitman vibes. Was waiting for Wick to disguise himself as Helmut Kreuger

That's exactly what my brother said.

 

[Zaph]

Given the way website acquisitions usually go, and the amount of gaming sites shuttered in the last 5 years, realistically, we couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

 

[Incandenza]

It's far more likely that Gamespot gets absorbed into GB, at this point.

 

[minty_ice]

5 years later and they are still 'settling into the new office'.

It gave us more Giant Bomb. So I couldn't be happier.

 

[TraBuch]

People say that, but isn't Gamespot traffic still much higher than GB's? Gamespot has much bigger name recognition.

I'm glad it happened, and I've only been following GB actively for a few years now. From the way Jeff talks CBS is happy with the numbers GB puts up financially, which means that they have the security of a large corporation with actual budgets and stability behind them

Surprising no one.

But how much is there actually? Isn't their youtube subscription nuts, but their actual video consumption super low?

 

[mnz]

We live in weird times. Their facebook videos get hundreds of thousands of views sometimes and they got their own video player, too. They are still in a pretty good position, honestly.

 

[Wunder]

Surprising no one.

Yeah I haven't checked in a while but their videos were in the tens of thousands of views and the couple tweets I clicked through had a handful of RTs/Likes/Replies.

There's a new horror game out that Vinny and Dan should take a look at:

http://store.steampowered.com/app/569760/

You - a writer, tired of living in a big city and all the fuss, which wants to get rid of anxiety, find inner peace and return to this in a long-forgotten home. Locked in his own mind, he becomes the protagonist of his new work, which, according to the story, looking for a way out of this madness ...

[Archaix]

I've become broken by Steam. I can no longer tell the difference between some kid's misguided attempt at starting development and a shitty group of shits trying to take advantage of people by releasing shit.

 

[mnz]

Yeah, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to see there. Looks like any other horror game on Steam.

 

[Meneses]

Played For Honor Beta, didn't like it.

Played Nioh, still find it boring and don't like the feel.

Back to Yakuza Zero it is.

I have decided to spent €2 on Bequest / Last Answer just see how deep this rabbit hole goes with changes and updates.

Hopefully it is not a Cryptolocker virus of some sort!

Well...

"Bequest" and the "Last Answer"
7. FEBRUAR - TASTEGAMES
Dear users, we changed the name of the game, since it does not meet the coming big update, which will be released today.
The function of maintaining the gameplay will be released only on the next day.
We know that you expect the update, who have already bought the game, and we hope that this update will change your opinion about our game.
Sincerely "TasteGames" we will support all our games.

Also this

We changed the name, not because of bad reviews, but because of a change of scene in the game.

Seems fair, they changed a scene.

 

[wenis]

I juss saw it, liked it for the most part.

Also, what kind of freak watches movies in the am.

Someone who was very excited for this one and also only wanted to pay $8 for a movie. I also watch a lot of movies anyway. This week alone I watched twelve new movies.
