I felt like my subscription was about to run out so I checked the billing part of the website and it tells me that I'm currently on "a free trial of the Giant Bomb Premium Yearly plan"?

Long time for a free trial.

 

[Salarians]

Finished Pyre. I was kind of down on the game for a while because I wasn't enjoying the rites, but I was really into the characters and the story and I ended up loving the game. Actual best moment contender:

Spoiler

the credits sequence.

It's a shame the performance is so horrendous during the last few rites, at least on a base PS4.

 

[Han Seoul-Oh]

I wonder if they have a download limit for the free trial, because I feel some people would just mass dl a bunch of videos if they didn't cap it.

It says you can't download videos on a free trial.

 

[OdysseusVA]

how can i do this hack

 

[Archaix]

his twitch channel is pretty fun, I appreciate the act!

He seems like he's good at what he does. I hate what he does, and he does it while seemingly only playing a game I also hate and hate to watch, but he's fine enough if you're looking for somebody doing whatever that is.

 

[SuperStiltzkin]

how can i do this hack

Well first, you go to the trashcan, look for an empty subscriber account, take it to the bathroom and then you waaaaashh it out. Then you get a free renewal.

 

[formated4tv]

I think it's how they transferred our accounts over to their new system. If you were paid up until (x) date, I think you just have a free trial until that date now.

 

[tryagainlater]

I was worried that the thread about the premium trial on mainstream GAF would be met with "man, fuck premium, just put ads on the videos so I can watch it all for free with my adblock turned on" comments but it's early days yet.

Giant Bombcast 494: Fievel Fight

This week we round up as many new releases as we can, like Sonic Mania, Starcraft Remastered, and Matterfall, run down the end of the International, ponder card games, weigh in on scorpions and Riff Raff, and try on our best accents.

Man, Fievel brings back memories. I actually got Fievel Goes West on blu not too long ago.

Monolith might as well take a shit on top of Tolkien's grave while they're at it.

Literally the only thing that would make me preorder that game.

That's actually the final boss, which is a qte.

Jeff describing the porn channel is amazing

 

[TraBuch]

I'm thinking GB should stop doing quick looks and use that time on more interesting premium features, and then make Unprofessional Friday a free feature where they play the like thirty minute chunks of games released that week.

Who's with me and my awesome idea?

 

[OdysseusVA]

Yeah

No Thanks

great act

oh wow
guy is literal garbage

I'm with you and I'm sure they would've done it in some form if QL's didn't bring in the views, which they do. So, yeah.

Are you a cop?

No but I am FBI and you need to send me your credit card number or else you'll have a felony on your record.

I still enjoy Quick Looks and UPF! This thread is out to take away everything I love

but he's a character hahaha get it guys just relax

Confession: I have not watched a Quick Look in like 2 months.

I do too, don't get me wrong. It doesn't mean that wasn't a sound idea, ya know?

You missed out on one of the best QL's in recent memory, Serial Cleaner. Don't read the comments or anything, just watch it from beginning to end.

So what you do is cut up the thirty or so minute chunks and then release them throughout the next week as quick looks.

Maybe it's easier to plan out when it comes to QLs? We all know how much of a pain embargoes and shit are. Sometimes users want QLs of things that released asap which is also another thing to consider.

Confession addendum: I prefer to watch the Best of Giant Bomb vids for a hyper-condensed Quick Look experience.

Okay DM I trust your judgement, I will watch this sight unseen. Hope it doesn't disappoint me like Annabelle Creation did just an hour ago. What a snorefest.

That Sonic game is very good.

They Live will be far and away the best movie they've Films&40s if true

 

[Death Metalist]

I've watched They Live so many times(only upped by The Thing) that I don't even have to watch the film. I could play the entire thing in my head haha.
