Finally! Giant Bomb does a complete playthrough of a game! There hasn't been an Endurance Run since all the way back to Deadly Premonition! I mean, I suppose if you ignore the Metal Gear Solid games, Castlevania, Bioforge, Phantasmagoria 1 and 2, etc.

 

[CrazyDude]

Alex is a necessary evil to control the chaos of Vinny and Dan.

 

[KnightHart]

They can do Yakuza 0 next year.

Oh god I forgot this was even coming out in the West lol

Watching the endurance run right now. This is a wonderful thing to come home to

Alex is the worst.

I wish they could get Danny instead.

He's such a downer. But that's why I love him

 

[jett]

Ehh I dunno about this trio.

I really liked the CT run. It was wonderful.

 

[Basileus777]

Good news on the new Endurance run. Can't wait to see the footage. I feel like Dan complimented Jeff's crazy ideas more than other west staff members and helped Drew with features, but at the same time he did great on gbeast's videos and podcasts, so I'm conflicted.

A lot of that has run its course though. Dan/Drew content carried GB for a long time and they haven't done much recently. Dan has good chemistry with Vinny and Alex so the fit is great out east too.

Alex is a necessary evil to control the chaos of Vinny and Dan.

indeed, they would never finish the game by fucking around constantly.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

The Beastcast is almost thereeeee. Got the two best members now but are still saddled with that nasal grinding moron Alex. Ship him out to San Fran so they can wallow in their dead phrases like "inherently" "thats a thing" and "lean into it". Send Jason or O'Dwyer..please.

 

[EnlightenedMint]

Holy shit, two pieces of great news, cant wait.

 

[ScaryShark]

i dont listen to gb west, tried a few times but i only got into video game podcasts when austin joined gbe

just a shame to donate to the site and then have austin leave

Buying premium isn't a 'donation' and isn't solicited that way either.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Alex is the worst.

Vinny, Dan and Alex are the worst. This should be a Max Temkin, Pat Baer and Mikey Neuman run.

 

[Laurentius]

[Dalius]

Amazing. Vinny will surely find new hilarious ways to break Shenmue. Dan fits well with them.

 

[Buttonbasher]

Looking forward to a bunch of people realizing this game is way more than that "sailors" meme that's like 4-5 minutes of that actual game.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Well, this thread is now hot garbo.

#vibekiller

 

[LiK]

everyone calm down.

 

[Loxley]

This thread is already going places.

Anyway, I'm excited for the ER even though I've never remotely been a Shenmue fan.

 

[MassiveNights]

Guys let's get back on track, do it for your old pal MassiveNights.

 

[TiffanyTryhard]

The Endurance Run is back and I'm about to resub to WoW for the first time in about 7 years. This is as close as it gets to traveling back in time.

(And Dan is going back to Beast. What a Saturday.)

 

[The Dear Leader]

What a stark contrast between page 1 and 2 of this thread lol.

 

[OdysseusVA]

LOUD NOISES

 

[jon bones]

So the response to that is to call the white guys on the podcast edgy?

Seems asinine.

i love vinny bakalar and alex

 

[jmood88]

He's such a downer. But that's why I love him

I never used to be a huge fan of Alex but he fits perfectly with Vinny (and Jeff on the podcast) and has become one of my favorite people on the site.

 

[Santiako]

Dan and Vinny have great chemistry so this is great.

Spoiler

Jason must be so happy lolol

 

[xxracerxx]

i love vinny bakalar and alex

So why would a new voice turn you off from the podcast? I understand that Austin made it work for you, but there is still good stuff in them.

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

What a stark contrast between page 1 and 2 of this thread lol.

Gbomb and Gbeast's are the WWE Raw and Smackdown of video game websites.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

How long is Shenmue?

 

[ScaryShark]

Gbomb and Gbeast's are the WWE Raw and Smackdown of video game websites.

Beast being Smackdown obvs

 

[Kaizer]

Always great to see a Giant Bomb thread outside of the Community board lol. Anyways, hype for the Endurance Run!

 

[SlickVic]

Wow, I didn't realize people here took the favorite/least favorite Giant Bomb personalities so seriously. It's just a site about video games, folks.

Yeah kind of a bummer reading this thread and seeing so many posts that boil down to 'this GB person sucks'. At least the GB OT over here is a lot more friendly.

I also want to believe this is setting the stage back up for a Vinny and Jeff Persona 5 ER. If Vinny needs to move back to SF at least temporarily to make it happen, so be it.

 

[SexyFish]

Everyone at Giant Bomb is equally great and I'm sure the new hire for West will be too.


Now give me that sweet sweet forklift.

 

[JeremyEtcetera]

Gbomb and Gbeast's are the WWE Raw and Smackdown of video game websites.

Beast being Smackdown obvs

Yep, Raw came first so it only makes sense. If there's ever a GB Midwest, it will be when they acquired ECW.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Yeah kind of a bummer reading this thread and seeing so many posts that boil down to 'this GB person sucks'. At least the GB OT over here is a lot more friendly.

well that's only because we all agreed that Brad is the worst

Beast being Smackdown obvs

who's the AJ Styles of Giant Bomb

Vinny has two kids and a wife. Makes perfect sense he would move across the country to play a video game.

 

[ScaryShark]

Wow, I didn't realize people here took the favorite/least favorite Giant Bomb personalities so seriously. It's just a site about video games, folks.

I hate how much it bums me out especially with how personal it gets when it often just boils down to 'this person doesn't line up with me 100% so they suck and I need to pronounce that at every opportunity!'

The crap Klepek got when he was there made me just detach from that community for awhile.

Anyways, probably not the place. Shenmue ER!

 

[Diprosalic]

Also Dan is moving to NYC.

say it ain't so.

 

[shwimpy]

so we aren't getting part 2 until Dan moves to NYC?

 

[ViciousAnchovy]

Guess I'll be returning to Giant Bomb.

 

[MassiveNights]

so we aren't getting part 2 until Dan moves to NYC?

They've already recorded it all!

 

[Sou Da]

Also Dan is moving to NYC.

RIP beastcast for me.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Dan fit in perfectly on the Beastcast, can wait for it to be permanent.

 

[jon bones]

oh there is, i love the crew even w/o austin.

 

[Basileus777]

so we aren't getting part 2 until Dan moves to NYC?

I don't see how it would be possible. We'll have to wait until the Winter.

They've already recorded it all!

Shenmue 2 was what was meant there. Only the first game is already recorded.

 

[Blastoise]

Alex kills all momentum. Such a downer.

 

[The_White_Rose]

What's up with Shenmue 3? Why is there a kerfuffle?

 

[cordy]

Can we update the title and include "Dan going to GBEast" or something? Almost made the thread by accident lol.

 

[Hellsing321]

Hope we get a season 2 of Project B.E.A.S.T. Dan having questions about basically every principal of astrophysics would be too good to miss.

 

[MassiveNights]

What's up with Shenmue 3? Why is there a kerfuffle?

I just meant all the chatter around it. It was pretty noisy (and probably confusing for those not familiar with the series).

 

[ScaryShark]

Alex kills all momentum. Such a downer.

He's really not but sure. Self-deprecating would be more apt.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

Alex kills all momentum. Such a downer.

If only he could be a fun happy chap and spend his time putting people down in forum threads they're likely to read.

 

[Hagi]

Dan is seriously moving to NYC? well shit...

Shenmue though!
