The guys from EZ Allies openly wept when they saw Darth Maul. Why does Giant Bomb have to be so jaded and cynical??

I feel like EZA have gotten far too teary eyed over stuff that isn't that impressive or exciting. I get the Shenmue and FFVIIR announce trailers, or the return of TLG...but it's fucking Darth Maul. It's like they built a brand around melodramatic reactions to live reveals.

I mean I think Alex plays the most games out of anyone on staff.

You're right, and when he gets three minutes to speak without interruptions and forced segways I enjoy listening to him. It's one of the reasons I keep listening to the shows each week even though I'm obviously a little frustrated with the content. I really enjoy listening to most of the folks on both shows talk about games, it just seems like that happens a lot less now than it did a couple years ago.

It sounds like this is probably not the most appropriate place to be raising those criticisms though, so I'll stop derailing.

That makes me actively want to avoid their content

They make some great podcasts. Maybe top 3 right now.

I avoid the e3 stuff because everyone seems to be trying to get that viral clip for the attention.

Giant bomb is great bc they can just be themselves. If they are jaded, well, so am i probably

Milf Fighter 29 when?

I think that was a joke.

That's probably the case, but I wouldn't put it past EZA either. I actually like a few members on their team and think they do good work, but I think as a whole they get too carried away around the "hype" that can come up during a conference.

This isn't true right? This has to be a joke. They CRIED when they saw Darth Maul?!

I honestly thought the idea of weeping over Darth Maul in a multiplayer Star Wars game was so absurd that my sarcasm would come through. Foiled by Poe's Law again.

I have no idea how EZ Allies felt about the conference. I'm sure as hell not going to watch the snoozefest again for their commentary.
 
Bombcast has turned into the "I watch fighting games tournaments but don't really know what I'm talking about fighting games podcast"

I stopped listening to the Beastcast after Abby joined, their humor is bland/crappy in comparison to the Beastcast.

Yeah, the Beastcast really sucks compared to the Beastcast.

So you don't like any of the giant bomb content?

I need to start an influencer channel reacting to the reactions of professional influencers. I will influence the people choosing which influencers to be influenced by. Seems like that is where the real interest is at.
