I heard Ben and Abby are leaving to start a dabbing enthusiast YouTube channel.

I'm in

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

dab around the world in 60 days

 

[BronsonLee]

Dan willfully doing a dab incorrectly will get tired to me eventually

Just not for like 3 years

 

[Sleeping Lesson]

Samoa Joe was on the fucken couch? With Drew and Xavier? God damn I need to catch up.

Yep! At one point Drew almost gets an entire sentence in before they cut him off.

 

[JosiahPasquale]

It's very good. The interviews with the duders have all been insightful and indepth.

Thanks, guys! But I didn't really get the sense that Jeff or Vinny are planning on leaving anytime soon when I talked to them. Both seemed in it for the long haul.

 

[Death Metalist]

whoa, what? I don't remember this at all.

It was on the 1099 podcast(which is a good podcast, particularly the interviews with the duders). However, that is not what Vinny implied.

 

[chrominance]

Saying "people are leaving" in every page of every other GB thread is tiring and it's never been funny. If people actually are going to leave, we'll deal with it then. In the meantime all it is is a bunch of people going "HAHA GOTCHA" to each other and it's really, really old.

Dabby/Babby GIFs, on the other hand, I'd be happy to see tons of those kthx please like subscribe rate favourite.

Pretty much. I think it's just a mixture of people joking around while the rest are taking it seriously or are confused.

Yeah, seriously. I wish it would stop.

Jeff is next level on these night shows. He's interviewing tones of different people for hours and keeps it fun and interesting.

 

[killroy87]

Why would people even entertain the idea that Jeff would leave GB lol? He created the company, and he has never expressed any desire to do anything else.

 

[JosiahPasquale]

Hey, everyone! Just want to clarify (I know most of the comments are jokes, but still): None of the Giant Bomb folks I've had on my podcast (The 1099) implied that they're leaving.

I, like all of you, need Giant Bomb in my daily life to function. So whenever I talk to one of the guys, I like to dig into the dynamic of the site and pick their brains on their roles there. I asked Vinny if he (or anyone else) almost feels like they have an obligation to keep the crew together--just because so many people love what they do and a single "main member" leaving could throw the entire thing off.

By the end of the conversation, I could tell they're all super devoted to building GB and no one seemed to give me the "I'M OUT" impression.

Again, thanks for all the feedback on the shows! I really, really hope to get Brad on in the future (and possibly even the new millennial GB wave...?)

 

[Somnia]

When was the Battlefront actress on the show?

edit: Nevermind, found it!

We've reached the next level of shitposting - spreading so much misinformation that someone else related to GB has to come and put us down in the thread. Great job guys

Jeff will be around until gamespot.com redirects to giantbomb.com.

I'm listening to the Vinny one now and don't really see how people came out with that interpretation.

Great interview so far, will definitely listen to the others.

I would love for the fucking leaving meme to be banned already, it causes nothing but shitposts.

 

[Demption]

Every time I hear Brad describing a demo or game he played, he does it so fucking well, even while being sick. True pro!

 

[Seventy70]

I can already see what's going to happen:

Abby + Ben is going to take off and they are going to leave GB in a year because they founded a huge thing.

Samoa Joe is oddly charming for a badass mofo that could choke me out in less than 10 seconds.

 

[Walker_Boh]

I'm watching the day 2 live show and I have to say, Lorne Lanning is one handsome man. I hope I age like that.

Lorne could easily be the next "Most Interesting Man in the World."

 

[Eldon]

The final segment of Day 2 is unbelievably crazy.

 

[hamchan]

I hope Samoa Joe beats that nasty Brock Lesnar fella.

 

[Seventy70]

Lorne could easily be the next "Most Interesting Man in the World."

Lorne Lanning is what I imagine Drew is going to be like in 10-20 years. He's already got that chill. It's crazy how far Drew's come.

I mean, sure, but it was hardly the next MONTH people were worrying about

 

[Han Seoul-Oh]

That last segment from day zwei is great. It was fun having Austin and Patrick back on​.

If we don't get a Former GB Interns block tonight with Ben, the entire Giant Bomb experiment has been a failed one

noooo

 

[Meneses]

Day 2 was cool, and the guest distribution was great because it made it pretty easy to decide what to watch and what to skip.

 

[Curufinwe]

The AC origins interview on Gamespot got me pretty excited for that game. It really does sound like they changed it for the better.

How often do you have a famous, attractive woman who is tied to video games and is actually part of the culture and not just 'playing up to geeks.

O__O

 

[kiguel182]

These night shows are so good. Best part of E3.

We all now that's where this all is leading. Years in the making!

So mid-2018, then?

Those guys have their own podcast. No need to take a slot from (sorry to say) someone more important.

 

[slightconfuse]

McElroy's are great as usual

 

[BearPawB]

McElroy's are great as usual

I'm just sad we didn't get a Justin Sherlock Holmes update

 

[kingocfs]

We getting the Holy Trinity tonight?

 

[Xater]

guess' on tonight's guests?

Obviously: Lang, Boyes, (Drake?)

Maybes: Cliffy B, Yosp,

Not happening but would be rad: Michel Ansel, Reggie

I think Jeff's tease already confirmed that Boyes, Lang and Vigniocci are ending this thing.

 

[megalowho]

Pulling the Day 2 full archive from YouTube seems like an odd decision. Maybe there were technical reasons and it'll come back up, but they got like 50k+ views on the Day 1 feed just from the morning after. They're missing out on prime catchup time.

 

[AaronMT86]

Can't even seek on the GB video player, sigh

 

[strafer]

Peter Stormare Day 3 please

Youtube archives live streams in a really weird and fractured way, so they probably pulled it to stop people wondering why it's missing parts.

But yeah, GB needs to get a lot better at putting news worthy stuff on their site immediately. Several sites linked to the youtube stream for the Phil Spencer conversation regarding Sony, but that link is now dead. I don't know why Abby or someone isn't just pulling segments and adding them to the site as they happen - they're throwing away serious traffic.

 

[Megasoum]

I've been looking at the 75% off Europa Universalis 4 on Steam since yesterday thinking about buying it but I'm so fucking intimidated by that game lol...

Also the DLC situation is a bit of a mess

 

[Shaanyboi]

Plus she was clearly genuine.

She filled the gap Aisha Tyler left pretty well.

Well this sure was a post

Summer Sale is around the corner though.

I think I'll be getting the last AC. Since the new one comes out the same day as Mario I won't buy it for a while. Might as well get the London one, which is supposed to be pretty neat.
