Giantbomb don't do a lot of written reviews, previews, news, etc.. they mainly do video content such as Quicklooks. Gamespot do lots of written articles but not a lot of video content.

Sorry, I'd left the thread open in a tab last week sometime and just looked at it again today. Should have looked to see how many pages behind I was; didn't mean to dredge up posts from that long ago.
While you're here, status on Bombcast?

It doesn't have to be. They could skype in Vinny, pat, and alex and people can deal with the skype. No reason that they cannot do this.

How's that going to work for the main kind of video they put out, Quicklooks?
Would also make for a boring Unpro Friday with 2 people in office and everyone else on Skype.
I cannot believe they let Pudge use Blink Dagger. You know what this means?! Getting eaten out from outta nowhere! Buyback got majorly nerfed, pulling is less effective, major spell changes. Also randomized Roshan respawn time.
This shit is crazy!
Still waiting on Techies though :/
"Fanboy" implies you support a specific company out of blind loyalty, possibly even when it's unreasonable to do so. Not to turn this into a semantic debate, but if you're going to tell me a fanboy is anyone who prefers something they think is better than something else, then there's nothing else to talk about here.
Yeah, I preferred the shit out of the 360 this generation because I think it was the best console by a mile on every conceivable level save Sony maybe having a better lineup of exclusives. It has nothing to do with being a "fanboy" of anything and everything to do with openly stating which products we think are objectively better.
I'm disappointed there are some people on this forum who take such a myopic view of this issue that simply liking a console better has to be reduced to this black-and-white us-versus-them tribal nonsense. If the PS4 turns out to have a better feature set than the XBO then I'm sure I'll spend more of my time there next gen. We've been completely open that we barely turn our 360s on these days and play almost everything on PC. Hell, I'm playing more Wii U right now than anything. We seriously play and love games on every platform around here and any assertions to the contrary are patently ridiculous.
Dude does get strangely defensive sometimes. Also, him calling out neogaf for being Sony fanboys was really odd.

On top of that, the 360 makes it enormously easier to move saves around and manage DRM between multiple consoles, since you can save directly to a USB stick and play your downloadable games on any console where you can sign into Xbox Live.
PS3 makes you go through an onerous file copy process every time you want to move a save around, and it's been less than a month since the last time we were unable to do a PSN QL because the second console my PSN ID was authorized on for games (besides my personal PS3 at home) had disappeared. If that comparison isn't stark enough I don't know what else to say.
Can't believe I'm still defending this in such exhaustive detail, it's making me feel like a lunatic.
Indeed. Why not read the full page and get back to me when you're ready if you still feel inclined.
The release of Madden has always signaled the start of the Q4 onslaught, but this year has been pretty weird with the new consoles looming. Not many high-profile releases so far.
Perhaps, but I don't think any of the other GiantBomb guys actually care enough to make the statement. Maybe that's what they all think about neogaf privately, but Brad's the only one saying it publically. That's part of what I mean when I say he's strangely defensive occasionally.
I'd rather just stop engaging with you until you figure out how to be less of an asshole.

Whatever you wish, Bradley.
I think that's unfair. I didn't reply because I'd essentially already replied to that exact same thing, and in fact, it was quoted right next to that post.
It's a combination of the new consoles and the release of the all-devouring GTA5. I don't think anyone wanted to come out anywhere near that game.
Like how the 360 got auto updating cloud saves first, right. And the controller is so much better, right. All objective facts, no ignorant BS or purely subjective opinions involved.

yeah, it's really fun trying to make a fun thread just for a fun thing I find fun that we can have fun with, and then *diarrhoea noises*
It'll happen. Vinny's here, it just takes him like two hours to get to the office right now, and that's only if he waits till the morning rush has died down. Hopefully BART gets its shit together sooner than later.

Well he specifically said "I think" immediately before the part

Is it just the strike or did those BART death's also affect everything as well? When I saw something about the BART, I googled it and the deaths were the first thing, then the strikes second.
I have no problem with someone preferring any system, even the Wii. Or Brad being ignorant about things like PS2 games being on the PSN store. Or not wanting to play TLoU.
None of those things are 'fanboyish'. Although, I have no issue with him being a fanboy either. I was originally just saying of course he spun the Watch Dogs delay as bad for Sony, because he's a fanboy, and didn't look at the news with a rational logic.
If I was given the choice to remove all the mudslinging (i.e. Stuburns) in exchange for riddling this thread with creepster stuff, I would probably take that choice.
Seriously, you guys are making this thread not fun. Please stop.
Jeff's not gonna be there right? Assume hosting duties and turn it into a Dotacast.
Do it, bring Crispy on as well.

Maybe if he did it in a less confrontational way with his snippy little remarks on GB videos where people can't answer back, he wouldn't get peoples backs up.

damn good call. I knew there was a reason I had put StuBurns on my ignore list a long time ago.
Claiming that the 360 was better on every conceivable level is also Brad being a fanboy.
For the entire generation online play has been free on the PS3. PSN definitely had limitations compared to Xbox Live and some of them never went away, but for a lot of people (including myself) being able to play any multiplayer game online for free was better than paying $50 or $60 a year for Gold.
Then when Sony did introduce a paid subscription service, they crammed it full of free games including AAA third party titles. So, value for money of the subscription service is one level where the PS3 clearly beat the 360 in the latter part of the generation.
Could this be a Volgarr, Spooks, Dark Souls, Pathfinder week + UPF? That's almost too much content.
Can we stop with this fanboy stuff? Brad has the opinion that the 360 was better because of the controller, the online, the achievements and for being easier to cover games with due to game management with profiles. He's not saying the 360 is the best console for everyone no argument shut up if you disagree with me. That would be fanboy talk, "I like this console more because of these reasons" isn't.

No, my ideal dad would be good at video games.

I just purchased a year long subscription to your website, and Dota 2 just updated with a brand new patch. Coincidence? I think it's time for you to get back on the dota 2 horse and get some big W's. You need to pull your weight around the website, the lack of dota content on the Giant Dota Cast is appalling.

Stop mudslinging.
