So here's a thought. Jeff is in the video, Ryan is in the video, Drew is in the video, Vinny is in the video.

Brad isn't there, Patrick isn't there.

Who the hell is holding the camera?

Pretty sure you're mixing up today's ILM and Mailbag together in your head. Jeff recorded the ILM and presumably Drew did the mailbag.
 
While people where taking about shit that hasnt gotten done since they joined CBS.

They still havent had Ryan Macdonald or John Davision on the bombcast yet.


I want Macdonald and Vinny on the same podcast.
 
It's likely because the 360's online mode is still busted, iirc.
Or maybe Jeff doesn't like it.
I don't recall him being a big fan of Blazblue and I don't think he's the type of guy that would enjoy the visual novel story mode that the game apparently has.

P4A probably wouldn't make for a good TNT anyway. If they play with the community chances are all you are going to see is matches against Chie and the chat would just be filled with people repeating Endurance Run memes over and over. A scrub league would be a good way to TNT that game that would be fun to watch, but without all the other Whiskey guys and Brad and Patrick gone they wouldn't have enough people unless they pulled in people from Gamespot.

That would be better than Tribes Ascend by a country mile.
 
I tuned in for about 20 seconds after they were already well into the show. I told myself, "I'll just catch it when the archive goes up."


I knew I shouldn't have trusted myself!

I did the same thing, man. Never trust yourself.

And on the complaints about TNT, yeah I'm bummed they're going back to Tribes again. Makes me miss the Whiskey offices/atmosphere, I don't think TNT will ever again get as awesome and magical as the Double Fine team hanging out on the couch/in the bar/on the green screen getting wasted and playing Iron Brigade.
 
I'm not happy about how things with GB have gone since the sale. Since just before it, really. But it's better than no GB at all, which I'm guessing was the other possible outcome.

That said they did their best E3 podcasts this year.

The place they were holed up in really was the first thing that killed my expectations of the "resources" GB was supposed to have now. That place looked dingy as fuck.
 
The Bombcast has been excellent lately, but I mostly attribute that to Patrick's absence (I know it's because of unfortunate circumstances, but I haven't enjoyed his contributions to the Bombcast for the past year or so).

Patrick is awesome, your opinions suck cock.
 
Yeah, god forbid the guy express his opinions respectfully WHILE being mindful of Patrick's personal situation. That effort gets him a "Your opinions suck cock" in response.

Stay classy, Giant Bomb defense force.
 
I honestly don't get how anyone could act so fucking insensitive. you don't even know these people why do you think your preference means anything to anyone.

I don't even understand how anyone could even say anything personal about someone you listen to indirectly on your Walkman or whatever.

Fucking Christ get a grip, go outside and fuck a girl.

How the fuck is what he said personal? He said he doesn't like a guy on a podcast. He didn't say he was happy the guy's Dad died. "Go outside and fuck a girl"? Jesus Christ. Giant Bomb fanboys are the worst.

It's not fair to shit on someone out of nowhere while that person is dealing with personal matters. Dickless should have kept his opinion to himself.

Defensive overreactions are the norm around here.

Patrick Klepek is a public figure. All public figures are open to criticism no matter what is going on in their personal lives as long as the criticism doesn't cross that line into becoming personal and unrelated. Not only did he not cross the line, he acknowledged that he knew the situation was, in his words, "unfortunate" and made it clear he didn't approve of the situation that took Patrick away.

Keep overracting.

He didn't shit on the guy he just said he preferred the podcast without him. If you genuinely think that's shitting on somebody or wishing ill-will upon them, you're incredibly over-sensitive.
 
Everyone in here needs to chill out-

Honestly I'm just frustrated that this keeps coming up, not specifically at this last dude

"I don't like patrick because so and so"

"I don't like Jeff because he says this and that"

like, I honestly don't give a fuck, but it just frustrates me that people go on the Internet and say weird shit about actual people with jobs that you don't even pay them for.

This is more "I hate a lot of the human race" thing more than "fuck that one guy" for me. idk, I need to see a therapist or something idk
 
Honestly, I almost feel like GB has been flailing as badly these past couple of weeks as they were right before the sale was announced.

But last summer was pretty brutal as well, as I recall. The highlight was when Amazon went down and Radio Dave started.
 
The problem is that a certain section of the Giant Bomb fanbase completely delude themselves into thinking they have a serious, personal relationship with these guys to a scary level. So naturally, whenever someone makes a legit criticism in a professional manner, they jump like someone just came at their Mom with a knife.
 
I miss Patrick on the site and the bombcast. I think Giantbomb has to add another person in the future to keep the ball rolling.
