Wait...they have an IRC channel? lol
That's really surprising. I'm not saying the GB guys would be miffed about it, but for me, I think I'd feel a little put out to be providing the content that's making the revenue that four other sites are living off.

We need to come up with a kick-ass black card, and submit it en masse.

It just hasn't been the same ever since those two new guys joined Jamie and Adam's site.
All three Wipeout Quick Looks are great. Kinect adds even more stupidity.
It's a shame, since those guys are pumping out some really cool content and didn't suffer from the content drought that GB did, but it's such a pain in the ass to use their site that I don't think I bothered to go and see half of it.
I think you just made my day! I'm going to go watch these right now.
They've been cranking out some really cool stuff since the BB acquisition for sure. The Adam Savage podcast is especially great, but it also showcases what the rest of the site (imo) is lacking, funny and likeable personalities. I'm persuaded what made GB's success is the bombsquad first, the features second. And tested only has half of the recipe.
What's the problem? You don't want an iphone news on GB?
Considering that the usebase is bigger than the 3DS+Vita combined...I think it's justified.
There's bigger and better places for Apple coverage.
New Windows phone looks kind of cool, but that didn't get a story.
They don't cover wrestling too but Jeff wrote a whole piece about HHH hair last week.

"_________ , so that's a thing"
Sure (and that's a good thing) but it's still worth a news IMO...
What, you mean like Tested.com?

It passes the "floppy naturals" test.
"_________ ? Oh man I don't like this at all!"
"__________, you guys."
Not in my opinion, where were the Lumia phones? Or the Razr? Or the Amazon thingies? It's not the right place. I am not mad or anything, but if you cover those things, be consistent or you may look like you favor some things over others.

What's the problem? ios is a legitimate gaming platform for a lot of people now, so this is relevant news. Deal with it.

We don't "cover" iOS games, but I'd like do, in rare cases where it makes sense, and we talk about iOS games on the Bombcast all the time. Fair game.

I've been listening to the GOTY bombcasts lately.

Well yeah I meant like in comparison to the other systems. I would not mind a more sophisticated mobile gaming coverage, but I may be in the minority with that.
Dude, love your avy!

His avatar hates yours though.
Burn: Cycle was great, hilarious stuff. I don't think Ryan's sense of humour really jives with Vinny/Dave's and his tendency to constantly cut others off or talk over them to get a referential joke in was kind of annoying after a while, but it was great to see Random PC Game back all the same.

Ryan didn't ruin it like I thought he would but he didn't let Dave and Vinny do their thing. He was really controlling. That annoyed me.
Eh, it's whatever. I'm sure a lot of GB users also own iPhones and may find the news interesting, I ignored it since I have no interest but it doesn't bother me to have it there for others.
Patrick shitting on Jet Set Radio Future's soundtrack though; inexcusable.
Sorta Giant Bomb related, but Rise of the Triad is on sale at GOG today, 60% off

They quickly hacked the site up after the sale to benefit from the Mythbusters tour, but I wonder how beneficial that was with the site being so awful. I'm a fan of Will and Norm, and their podcast is a weekly must listen for me, so I hope this doesn't kill the site.
I don't even want to see what Screened is like now.
Looking at all of their front page stories the most comments was 8.
Screened was always a special case to me.

Tested is doing OK. Their videos get a fair amount of views on YouTube. They're working on a new site and just getting settled in to a new office.
They are probably in a better place than GB at this point.

Fishing for reasons to complain about Patrick has gotten pretty pathetic lately.
If you would watch this thread closely you would know that I am one of those few GB-GAF members who is championing for Patrick and get shit for that. Express critique once, get shit for that too. Go figure.
Phantasmagoria remains as my favourite piece of content they've put out to date, so awesome that they played through the whole thing.
RIP glory days.
It literally is the best Random PC ever. soo funny.
It is the best Endurance Run ever too.
