Giant Bomb @ E3 2017: <>

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

No, I still like the Bombcast and listen in every week, I'm just saying it seems ever since Ben joined it's turned into 'Fighting games or EVO talk' which I personally don't mind and Ben's jokes/puns provide the lols.

I don't really like the Beastcast anymore, Abby doesn't really bring anything to the discussions on the Beastcast and Jeff's taste in games is kinda crappy IMO.
 
Oh man, unless they kiss Sony's ass this year they're going to receive a shitload of death threats aren't they?



Well that's not shocking, they both have Marfan's Syndrome and people who have it have share some facial characteristics.

Legit had no idea either had Marfan's.

This, Giant Bomb is basically corporate/branded youtube personality content. It's amazing how uninformed any actual game discussion is at this point. The Beastcast abandoned any serious attempt at game discussion/analysis half a year ago and has become the bob-and-tom morning show of gaming podcasts, and now the Bombcast is following suit with the latest crew addition constantly derailing the conversation into inane family-guy-esque diversions. It's really frustrating, because I used to learn a lot about games by listening to the Bombcast years ago while also being entertained, but now it seems like neither is happening. I guess it must be working for them, it's probably just a sign that I'm old and out of touch with what people want now.

So fucking true. I hate it, hate it. Never in all the years of listening to the Bombcast have been so compelled to forward though parts of it so frequently since the latest addition. I'm use to the Bombcast going of the rails but every few seconds with some "what if..." nonsense is getting to me. And the Beastcast is worse at times, they might as well add a laugh track.

Does Youtube or the GB website have higher quality video for the conference streams? I need to see the duder faces with as much detail as possible.
 
Abby and Ben are great.

Both podcasts are still great and the only gaming podcasts I care about.

I miss Austin and Drew.

I really don't get the hate.

So basically you just want them to cater to you personally. Ok.

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

This sounds like a group of people I would never want to interact with, much less take time out of my day to watch. The tone of Giantbomb matches my personality way better.

Uhh, listen to some 2010 Bombcasts. They go off the rail constantly.
 
Yeah, uh, the Bombcast's trademark has been how off-course they get when discussing games. e.g. For (roughly) the first year of Bombcasts they did energy drink taste tests. (And they are the best.)
wow the people that dislike the new hires will HATE this New E3 podcast

i kinda dig the irony weird anti-internet humor on GB tho

i also can't tell if either beastcast or bombcast has been going more off the rails than normal because it's been a long established norm that jeff knows old games encyclopediacally, brad knows dota, and everybody else just gets into whatever floats their boat at the time.

patrick and austin were most likely to deep dive into a thing just to deep dive into a thing
 
Well, NFS: Payback looks neat.

I'm gonna need a co op partner if I want to play A Way Out.

That Star Wars segment was way too long but it made me follow the dominatrix lady on instagram.

Madden story mode with Mahershala Ali and Scott Porter is cool but having to play a QB and also being a premade character just makes it a 2K story mode knockoff (hopefully a better story than Spike Lee wrote ayyy). Giant Bomb didn't even show the trailer but I watched it and yeah, it's neat.

I've always been an NBA Live truther, so I'm curious how the new games goes over but I'm gonna wait it out on that.

That's all I got.

Fuck, we got a long wait till the next stream. Damn you EA.

Real Giantbomb fans are all watching Jeff stream commodore 64 games from his basement on his personal youtube channel
