[LurkerPrime]

MGS or DotA 2 content, huh. We got monkey paw'd.

 

[Hindl]

They can't do another Metal Gear Solid series.

They can do a Metal Gear series though

 

[BreezyLimbo]

I recently started watching Giant Bomb on their YouTube channel and with their sale, been curious about premium.

What type of special content would the membership give me?

Folks, don't overlook this question.

 

[Tubobutts]

Will either of them bring back Unplugged?

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Finally GB has somebody who likes Dota and Red Dead Redemption

What type of special content would the membership give me?

There are hundreds, maybe thousands of premium content on demand , as well as hours of premium content per week. It's honestly worth way more than they charge for it. Most of their best content is premium too!

They do a lot of videos focusing on more specific games. For example, the East crew just finished up a playthrough of an FMV game from the 90s called Tender Loving Care and are working on playing through all of Yakuza 0. Its really good, entertaining stuff

The West crew is...well not doing much, that's why we're so excited to get Ben in

This is an out of date list by now but here are some of the things you could expect.

 

[kai3345]

They still haven't picked a video person, it seems. The job listing was taken down, so it is only a matter of time.

there never was a job listing for the West video person. they say at the end of the post that you'll see another post like this one "later on in the year". I imagine the search for west's video person will start after E3

Premium shows such as this is the run or metal gear scanlon

The mario party series of torment

Lotsa good video content thats been built over the years

 

[Mr. F]

This is going to get drowned in the new hire talk, but Tumbleseed came out of nowhere for me. Looks rad and like a great fit for Switch

But...but I am on Giant Bomb dot com and I don't see anything out of the ordinary!

Oh FUCK. Awesome. Why isn't it on the front page?

There are a lot of premium only streams/videos that they do. The OP of this thread has a lot of good examples. Some of my current favorites are:

This is the Run: Vinny/Dan play coop (Contra) or against each other (Soul Calibur) in an attempt to work together and beat he game in one run, or beat each other in the case of Soul Calibur.

Playdates: Streams where GBW/GBE play random games.

Beast in the East: GBeast is currently playing through Yakuza 0, I have found it to be pretty entertaining so far.

Film & 40s: GBeast watched and recorded podcasts over all of the Fast and Furious series (While drinking 40s).

Tons of old premium content as well (ex: Brad playing through Demon Souls while Vinny gives him "advice"). The GOTY videos they did for last years GOTY were all really good. Tons of awesome Hitman content over the last year as well.

 

[War Peaceman]

Abby seems really good!

Less excited by Ben, not because of anything to do with his personality but because I really wanted a fresh perspective and some new energy. I'm sure he will be good though.

Mario Party Party

Or more seriously, Mario Party Party the First

Some are hit others are miss for me.

I have been a subscriber for bit under a year and to be honest I am happy. UBF is boring, and some features like retro gaming (Megaman, Castlevania) are things I am not interested at all, but Beast in the East and Hitman features have been amazing.

Why can't he have a fresh perspective? Because he was a intern like 7 years ago? Because he happens to know them?

I think GBeast is your best bet for the diverse perspectives, as vinny has way more input in those decisions.

They both pass the "do they seem cool based on their Twitter feed" test.

Makes perfect sense to me.

 

[SexyFish]

So we're going to get a Downton Abbey podcast called DANton ABBY right?

 

[EnlightenedMint]

The real question is do they have gaf accounts?

 

[CoolBatteryCharge]

Catching up on the news. Looking forward to seeing/hearing more from them.

Super common practice especially in the media industry ¯_(&#12484_/¯

Drew Scanlon was a former intern too...

Makes perfect sense from an experience perspective.

 

[YuriLowell]

Yeah gonna need it since Brad is leaving.

Abby is BronsonLee, Ben is BobbyRoberts

New premium members should watch everything on this page.

 

[repeater]

Has Myggen been available for a comment on the new hires?

Also, do we know what this Murder Island stream in 30 minutes is going to be?

 

[daveo42]

that is not possible

yeah not possible.
the man is getting married in a Taco Bell.

Let me believe it can. Just for Dan's reaction. Please.

They can do a Metal Gear series though

Who gets frustrated first: Dan, Abby, or us?

 

[KillerDark]

New premium members should watch everything on this page.

I second this idea, they totally sold me on Hitman and it is awesome

I'm guessing to help Jason out altho I'm sure he'll be on camera like everyone else.
