Now THAT is a shirt I would wear, I guess the moral of the story is: buzz_clik is really good at making game logos into Giant Bomb shirts not so hot at much else.

Now that's a great design.
The little phrase tabs above and below the GB2013 completely ruin it, goddamn it.
In case you didn't love the Gerstmannia shirt enough, here's the back...
I think they like his designs and he gets paid for them.
I think it might be a wipEout reference?
lol....

I'd take a shirt that just had NDX4EVA on it
What about a sweet skull with worms and shit crawling out of the eyeballs?

He's talking about the Gerst Mannia shirt.
Also, Buzz_Click has been doing the Wipeout style for awhile now, he's made logos for pretty much all the guys:
That new GB shirt is pretty damn awesome, except for the smaller text on the bottom and top.

It's pretty lame we went from near daily premium stuff to not even weekly now...
I know the BLLSL stuff is probably being arranged, but that doesn't cut it for me.

They had a period where we got at least something every week. Then they skipped a week and since then it's been pretty spotty.

Alright, not daily, but we used to get 2/3 per week at WM when they got in their stride.

Maybe I was dreaming but wasn't there some weird live thing and in the chat Brad said we'd get a Breaking Brad this week if nothing was planned?

I don't know if any of these were practical, but they're fun to look at.

There were some good ones from the Deadly Premonition ER as well.

I wouldn't call it sleazy per-se, but they definitely need to show a real commitment behind premium content over the next few weeks and during the BLLSL for me to re-sub this year.
It's sleazy when you don't do shit about the premium sub for over 6 months and then flood the site in the days right before the BLLSL.

It doesn't look good, I agree, regardless of the intentions.
It's riffing on Ed Roth's classic "Hot Rod" art. Which Jim Phillips riffed on.
ugh. The QLEX or whatever it was in which this happened was a low point for GB.

It's been more like the last 3 months, but you're right its very suspect when a lot of peoples favorite thing about the subscription suddenly shows up again the week Giantbomb does their subscriber push.
There has been about 60 premium vids in the past 6 months; I'm not quick to complain for the $35 I paid.
I fail to see how it's sleazy to be extra busy when promoting something like the BLLS. It's just standard business, of course they'll do an effort draw more attention than usual.

Yeah...I'm not a huge fan of a lot of his designs.
At least they finally put up a shirt with just the basic logo. I remember hoping that'd come out for like a year, but it was always other shit instead.
Is that the Beats by Dr. Dre logo?

Uh, no. More like 25 or so since the buyout. Half of those are Jar times. So you're looking at a dozen videos in just under 6 months.

If you exclude TNTs, which I don't understand being in the premium section, there's hardly anything. Kinda depressing to actually look at it.
Since CBSi, exlcuding TNTs and Jar Times: Olympics, Giant Bomb Talk Radio, Dave Fortress, Flight Club, Behind the Scenes, Radio Show, Lanterns Finale, North Korea, Design Talk, Flight Club, Vinny's Kid video, Breaking Brad Doom, Talk Radio, Random PC Game: Mechwarrior 4

Well, at least half of those are TNT recordings which aren't really premium content
edit: i'm slow
Well, sure, if you're going to remove videos just cause that makes sense.
I'm fine with the amount of premium content they're providing as long as the price is reduced once again this year. I have more of an issue with how they're presenting these videos. TNT is just an hour and a half of dull conversation and it has been that way for a long time.
Huh
Why are TNTs in the premium section?
A similar thing happened when the initial subscriptions were about to run out. The only premium content for almost a year was Happy Hour and archived TNTs (which were available on twitch anyway). Then 3 weeks before the first subscribers would need to renew, they started doing tons and tons of premium stuff. Random PC Game, Load Our Last Save, the Lantern Run, Breaking Brad, Jar Time, the retro console marathons, and more random videos all started within that 2 or 3 month period. The output of premium videos was great for that 7 month period, which was interrupted by WM selling the site. Hopefully this is them getting back on track.

They never used to be archived (no idea why, I had to rip loads off their JTV account) and when they were it was for subscribers only.
Seems to go against the "won't charge for what was free" thing they always talked about. Very confusing.
Yup, first year of premium sucked, as well. Like you said, the 6 or so months leading up to their buy out was amazing. Top quality stuff every week. More than I had time to watch.
At WM I was more forgiving of it sucking because it felt like I was keeping them afloat. Now they have the might of CBSi behind them and my expectations have changed, especially since at the end of WM they were pumping out so much.

They're always free on the justin tv and free to watch live.
Just when you watch them hosted on giant bomb they're premium.
It has been this way for a very long time.

Yeah I don't know what happened there. I either read wrong or misquoted or something.
I actually have no clue why I wrote that.
