Instead of buying a iphone x you could have giant bomb premium for the next 20 years.

Nearly 29 if you wait until a sale.

Is it odd that YouTube commenters seem to like Abby way more than Ben?

Youtube commenters are people with taste too.

If YT comments are the rule of thumb, the internet is weird and full of creepy, disgusting people.

Ben has that awkward style in both presentation and humour that isn't for everyone.

Jeff signed off on it, LETTTSSSS GOOOOOO

 

[Salarians]

I just want Vinny to introduce Alex and Abby to Mass Effect 2

I hope you are aware that it's not a real game.

I like Abby more than Ben, but I just think she... has... more... interesting things to say? :\ I haven't really gotten anything out of Ben other than Dota 2 and repeated attempts at humour of saying something intentionally lame followed by sardonic forced laughter, both which do nothing for me.

 

[BTA]

I hope you are aware that it's not a real game.

It took me a couple minutes of looking up the game to realize this.

6 weeks until the game of the year comes out.

I mean it's very believable conceptually. The Sega CD library is just small enough though for me to know pretty much all the games.

 

[The Dear Leader]

I saw Austin, I saw Endurance Run, I saw Jeff's approval, I didn't see if the game was real or not...

Personality and humor wise, I totally get it, I mean is it odd in that the white, straight, male nerd is way more disliked than the woman who talks about equality in gaming and isn't as "knowledgeable" on a platform that's notorious for hating anybody that's not a straight, white, male nerd.

Did PUBG move up their release?

 

[The Technomancer]

Ben I think has more interesting things to say on the topic of video games, but Abby is more traditionally charismatic. They're entertaining in different ways

Oh, heh, I see what you mean now. I just ignore YouTube comments so I wasn't thinking about that angle.

There are already two Life is Strange games. That's enough Millennial games.

I think it just speaks to how likeable Abby is that she managed to overcome the regular hate barrier of being a woman on the internet, in gaming, with something to say. It is kinda amazing that she doesn't get much hate in the comments compared to both Ben and Patrick back in the day. Don't remember if Austin got any hate but I'm leaning towards that he didn't.

 

[oti]

is this your goty

A) I appreciate the joke
B) Not being Premium triggered a Marvel vs. Capcom ad and now I'm considering re-subscribing just because of that

pretty sure ben hasn't disclosed his orientation

 

[Salarians]

youtube commenters are just jealous of his height

 

[oti]

Ben is awkward in a way no other person at GB is. Which is fine. I just wish he wouldn't go after every opportunity for a stupid joke that doesn't land and creates an awkward pause. Abby is really good at playing off the bad jokes she makes.

Austin got tons of hate for being "pretentious". Yeah, it sucked.

pretty sure ben hasn't disclosed his orientation

I'm fairly certain I've heard him use female pronouns to refer to his partner before. It only stuck out to me because he normally uses gender-neutral terms like "they" or "partner". Which sticks out to me as a gay guy who's used that trick plenty of times before.



Both Ben and Abby are cool with me.

I haven’t heard many interesting video game opinions from Ben actually. Then again, I’m not into Dota.

Abby was at least right about Sonic..

That like saying all Abby ever does is yell "spice" at random moments in PUBG streams.

Pretty sure they all do this

 

[Zornack]

Abby is liked because she's just Vinny in disguise.

 

[TraBuch]

I actually think Austin would've gotten hate even if he was white. Less? Definitely. There's more than a little racism in there. But if he was white, people would look at him as another Patrick and we all know how well-liked Patrick is.

TEW 2 might be a late contender for OST of the year based on the new trailer

not that its a contest but Patrick got more hate than Austin. The amount of hate Patrick got was straight absurd.

That race part sure added an extra dimension though.

Maybe she does, but I only listen to the casts, and I seriously don't have much to recollect regarding Ben's contributions on that front that don't end up being that since when he does talk about other games it ends up being in a hazy unsure way.

 

[MontyBrown]

Ben is slowly becoming tolerable.

But Abby is just grade A, top tier, awesome pretty much all the time. Female Vinny indeed.

I still get angry thinking about the hateful messages people sent to Patrick when his dad passed away. The way he was treated by the community was straight up garbage.

 

[Antiwhippy]

Btw, Off topic, but i recently discovered that you can get those angry onions that you get on the angry whopper as a side and I've been obsessed with it.

Help.

I feel weird discussing this and furthermore anyone's sexuality/gender/personal lives/etc. but because this is open knowledge on Twitter: Ben's partner uses they/them pronouns.

 

[pizzacat]

also btw yakuza 0 is 35 on psn right now, had a phsycial copy but snagged anyway because this game can be sold back for more

It probably helped that Austin could be funny while Patrick kinda came off as trying really hard.

You don't watch any GB videos at all?

I think Ben's been good on all his Quick looks and seems to know a fair amount about a lot of different types of games.
