There is the burden of proof, to not completely decimate someones life on the word of c tier journalists.

Oh. Well, if you're just gonna jump to this shit, that's disappointing.

I'm assuming rather than some "c tier journalists" (I literally don't know who you're referring to?) they trust 1. their friends, who are among the accusers* and people who were tweeting about it due to other people having talked to them about it, and 2. the other people who came to them privately with their stories for what they're writing about it currently. But sure, whatever, the words of c tier journalists.

*(I feel like "accusers" sounds kinda weird/mean to them; I'm not sure how else to word that other than "victims" though, and not everyone wants to use that label for themselves)

I'm not sure why I thought they might have decent intentions. You were smarter.

So did they bring up the Robinson stuff on the Bombcast?

Seems like more of a Beastcast topic.

Any time any sensitive issue comes up on the Beastcast, Vinny invariably says something along the lines of "Well, this isn't really the time or the place to be having this discussion.", which always leads me to question when exactly he thinks is a good time to talk about difficult issues, if not for a 2+ hour podcast amongst friends and veterans of the industry.

I do kind of wish that they had a podcast for that kind of thing where they could talk more candidly. I'm not a huge fan of Waypoint, but Scoops and Austin aren't afraid to address things and it's something I appreciate and respect them a great deal for.

Guilty Gear is a respectable game, I think

its anime so no

I always try to forget that there are people like this hiding within the GB community

The Game Gear was essentially just a portable Master System. A wasted opportunity.

 

[Aselith]

I told y'all

I'll be honest, I kinda like getting to that point

I think I do remember the PDP stuff actually now that you mention it. Obviously when I say always, I'm exaggerating. A teeny bit.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Did he go in on the vr dude? I thought it was alex.

I think he mostly called pewdiepie a dumb kid.

 

[OdysseusVA]

yeah, alex went in on whats his face. it was great. a gb highlight of the year.

 

[robotrock]

alex went in harder than vinny did (especially if we're talking about the GOTY cast) but i think both vinny and alex went comparably in on beastcasts.

 

[Antiwhippy]

I can't remember the exact lines but Jeff basically said "and white supremacy is always a hottest mess."

 

[- J - D -]

Let's be real though it's easier for them to go in on pewdiepie because 1) he has no past association with GB, 2) he's a youtuber, 3) the overlap between GB's viewership and pewdiepie's is probably minor at best.

Oculus guy was likely a milkshake duck moment for Jeff and the crew though. He was on GB videos before and they were all very chummy.

 

[robotrock]

I can't remember the exact lines but Jeff basically said "and white supremacy is always a hottest mess."

it's been a while but i remember being disappointed in how long it took them to actually declare oculus as hottest mess that year. if it wasn't for alex it might have been SFV or something

 

[Ashby]

Alex has always been the best

Spoiler

tied with Brad

 

[DanLongman]

not saying it isn't appropriate in this case, but they tend to try to make everything a teachable moment and it wears thin, which is what I think Necro is getting at

You would know about wearing things thin....

they all hang out in the GBGAF discord

This. Most toxic hideout for GB fans.

dangoodman imo

 

[Liquid Shake]

Wow. I was considering signing up to check out the discord as well.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Eh I don't actaully remember discord GBGaf being that toxic, but it's been awhile since I visited.

Even the usual suspects are mostly just being dudes there.

 

[Tubobutts]

Wow. I was considering signing up to check out the discord as well.

You're smart not to everyone there sucks.

 

[Blitzrules240]

Can someone tell me what song Vinny uses for the postcard segment on the Beastcast. I find it oddly delightful.

 

[OdysseusVA]

whats the discord link? i want to see this for myself

 

[kambaybolongo]

Really wish they’d put a hard limit on dota talk on the bombcast

 

[ThreePiMatt]

Is Baby Steps like the tennis equivalent of Cross Game?

Cross Game is likely my favorite sports anime and Baby Steps is probably my number two.

 

[Liquid Shake]

whats the discord link? i want to see this for myself

From the op:

GBGAF Discord Server - If you really want to venture off-topic but still chat with Giant Bomb GAF thread regulars, this Discord server is the place for you.

 

[Ashby]

Patrick just put up a really great article about video games and opiate addiction over at Waypoint btw

 

[OdysseusVA]

From the op:

you know no one reads the op

 

[Nerokis]

Don't worry, Dan is still there.

...yep.

I feel like Dan's total lack of teamwork not only serves to hold everyone back, but also messes up his game. Like, his inability or refusal to be on the same wavelength as everyone else seems to totally compromise his situational awareness, and he ends up approaching situations in this blind, unfocused way.

Seriously, going from Vinny to Dan was like going from Obam — nevermind.

You all seriously overstated how annoyed they were with Dan during Murder Island

Also I just figured out that a big part of why I like Murder Island is because it unites both east and west

100%. Feels so nice having the coasts brought together. Been loving Ben in this format, in particular.

I get no feelings or pseudo intellectualism from Waypoint. Overall I think they do good work. The only thing that bothers me is all the hemming and hawing on their podcasts.

I love all the "whoofs", "oofs", "mans", and sighs though!

I do feel like Rob Zacny has been a big plus to me getting back into listening to the waypoint podcast. He talks a lot, which I always appreciate on a podcast, especially on one where one of their regulars has a tendency to dominate conversation.

Thats some good sarcasm, I'm so sick of "whoof" as an expression

Other than the main GB Discord.
