My sub will run out in the coming two or three months and I'm not sure if I will re-sub. Looking at the Subscribers tab of their video section makes me realize, that only the SNES TNT and Drew's North Korea video (which was back in April) were really entertaining to me in recent months. I was never a big fan of the Jar videos, the Flight Club is getting pretty old and repetitive and the Dwarf Fortress videos are just plain boring as soon as the initial fascination wears off.
I would really like to see another Random PC Game or a new Breaking Bad that is not Doom 2.

I agree they need to up their premium game. They mention do many interesting things on the podcast like returning to kingdom hearts or what was it? Some crazy space game that brad mentioned. Idk. I really wish they would be a little more liberal in showcasing parts of gaming history. The tony hawk/neversoft TNT was great. How have they not rigged up a pso1 quicklook/TNT yet? Or how about a day long playstation1 showcase? I know there's an infinite amount of crazy interesting stuff to do so I'm not really in a hurry.
There's a QL of that one, though. Endless Space.

No, I think they were talking about Endless Space and then Brad was like "oh kinda like that one insane game from a decade ago.. and then he got really excited and was like 'does this mean there needs to be a blah blah TNT?'"
It started with a C, maybe. Coccoon? Calalafldk something. Maybe a sequel to Descent or something. I have no idea it was like three weeks ago now. And it was just an example. I think no matter what things will get VERY interesting VERY soon. The next gen is imminent and the next year of gaming is going to be crazy fascinating either way.

It was Galactic Civilizations, I think.

Dude, they need to get those GoPros head mounted and play some Gamecube Crystal Chronicles. It'd be perfect. It'd be like watching poker, they could cut between the POV view of the gameboy screen and whats happening on the TV.

Crystal Chronicles, Four Swords, Pac-Man VS., man they could do some great things with the few GCN/GBA games there were.

Oh man, Four Swords was awesome. Forgot about that game. How is there not a proper DS four swords?

I think they were working on one, must have been cancelled.
Oh, sorry about that. I misunderstood.
More board games please. TNTs or a new feature or whatever.
On the extreme end of that scale, I'd love them to try recording something like a weekly sitdown with an accessible pen & paper game, with someone who knows their shit GMing. They've got enough comedy/improv chops to make roleplaying a band of dysfunctional adventurers entertaining, I've no doubt.

As a HUGE fan of the game...
I completely agree.
It's terribly boring to watch someone play.
Can be really exciting if someone writes a cool story about it though: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/161570/blog/galciv-2-war-report-final-entry/

What is it about the dave radio shows that takes it so long to put up?

Them going home as it's the weekend?
If I recall correctly, Jeff mentioned they went out of space while recording. They made a backup but it'll take little longer to have that up on the site.

I would be for this, I love the TNT's like the Mario Party ones, the joy is seeing them interact in a completive way (and the fact that the compaction starts as a gag then becomes real just makes it better.)

They seem to have a video pipeline that makes it relatively fast to put up the video of streams though, if TNT is any indication.
Maybe it's because they want to put together an audio version too?

I think they mentioned subspace continuum a few weeks back?

That was totally it!
That would be great, I could easily see Dave/Drew/Vinny/Ryan/Brad being into something like that.

Sorry for the small tangent but are there any other stories/blogs like this one?

Just saw this in the "awesome" fanart thread. I laughed. : P

I <3 U GB Community
Have you read about the decade long Civ game?
I'll agree that the subscriber content has been pretty lacklustre since just after Xmas, but I feel the GB legacy and will resub. Though I still haven't bought a t-shirt, mostly because they ones on offer didn't take my fancy.
It's disappointing that since being bought out they haven't been able to get permanent recording space, but I have hope that this will change soon.
Right guys, right?

But it's usually just Brad crying about something anyways. ;P
Their own space for TNT is a step in the right direction, just hope we won't be having these same concerns in another 5 months. Shame on CBSi really, buying up a website that has video content as its bread and butter and not really facilitating them. Kind of hard to 'prove themselves' as a good acquisition when their hands are tied.

Im just reading about it now, I don`t know what it is but these types of stories are fascinating. I wish I could find some about sins of the solar empire.
It certainly hasn't been the same GB in the last 5 months, but I hope things will be righted soon enough.

Here's the sequel for the second expansion pack: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/195920/blog/galactic-civilizations-diary-days-1-26/
You could just get gal civ 2 and make stories of your own
http://www.stage.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=457263But, yeah theres that recent civ story (that sixghost mentioned) that is along the same lines. There are tons of stories about EVE that might also interest you, and they're pretty easy to find and very interesting.
I Love Mondays this week says they are Quick Look EX'ing the new Transformers game. I hope it's not shit because if it is then that would be the worst QL EX ever.

Brad's spending the week getting high off of protein shake fumes in his living room
Dota 2 fever.
Or maybe the best? Sounds potentially awkward.

No P4A for TNT? Eh?
Yeah, I thought they said so.

So, they finally broke Brad.
I hope Primal Carnage is good. After being burned on the completely dead online community for Dino D-Day, I need to rekindle my faith in the dinosaurs vs. human genre.
Stay Dead looks freaking great, hahahaha
I can't wait for that one.

Bah, sorry, I meant Dino D-Day. I don't know where that came from.

Not going to lie - I just checked Alex's twitter to see if he's visiting the GB offices this week
True. I've been posting on GB boards for several years now and I still do (I think the community is great overall), yet the place where a GB crew member (Jeff) responds to me first is NeoGaf. Kinda sad when I think about it.
I've seen Jeff and Dave occasionally posting on the GB boards though... I still wish there was more interaction between the GB crew and their community. In that regard, it's pretty cool how the Weekend Confirmed guys engage in discussions on Shacknews, especially in the podcast thread.

Noticed' P4A with Margaret on the tv in the backround of that video. Hiphop snacks sound terrible...
I would order a thousand euros' worth of Sugus right now if there were a handy import chain that could handle the tough parts for me!
Also, their jokey comments about Romania being salt miney and dollar storey... it's not that off. Romania was actually hell during the seventies and eighties and they're only now working their way back up. At least they have their own internal candy labels, that's a sign of some sort of economic competence.
