A lot better in terms of what?
I'm sure they are infuriating and hard to track down: But they need to do something about it. The bandwidth issues with Akamai have been very consistent for me - downloads from GameSpot have always been very slow, and now with their switch from Amazon the issues are replicated at GiantBomb.
Maybe there are different service levels at Akamai they can book, another CDN provider or maybe something like a choice of different providers for Premium users?

fuckin' called it, man
is anyone else worried this whole shrink shrak show is a prelude to giantbomb and gamespot merging?
I really don't understand why they have the gamestop staff there, its not like the GB guys can't hold down a show and theres plenty of stuff to play.
are they trying to get us used to the spot guys slowly? because they are pretty annoying apart from the host guy.

No. That hasn't been discussed at all.

Eh I hope they won't try and merge them in any way, they said right from the beginning that they would try to do some stuff together. But yes, everyone but yeah they are mostly fairly annoying, kind of also like the host though.

I'm not sure how I feel about the whole "I think this game is over so you should stop wasting my time and quit" attitude. Maybe if you weren't mindlessly clumping your units together and marching through the mines that game would have been over in less then half the time.

Nothing stops the Giant Bomb Thread.
Nothing is more obnoxious in SC2 than when a Terran who is completely beaten floats a structure off in the corner of the map, forcing you to chase it down and destroy it. That's just being a dick.
kickin it old school

Maxwell grates a bit, and Caro was super dull, but I like the rest of the Gamespot guys so far.
Mainly Chris, because I'm already familiar with him, and I enjoy watching Ryan call him out on shit when hosting.

This will probably be the last dedicated thread we have before the merger
exactly, thats what they want us to think. and then the gamespot guys start showing up on quicklooks and double fine thursday, and Jeff is wearing a suit to work and spending all his time in meetings and Brad is writing all the reviews and giving everything 5 stars and Ryan is huffing PCP in the carpark and Drew and Vinny and Dave fly off in a HOTAS plane.
Dips on the forth seat.
It's that beard! I like him way more with it.
Seriously, I have to agree. He definitely seems to have taken some of that criticism to heart. For example, he doesn't try to say something on every single topic on bombcasts anymore.

Seems that HOTS is back on for TNT (alongside God of War).

Just HOTS is fine.

Someone at some point in this thread brought up the observed minor tension between Patrick & Brad. I find myself noticing this more and more in the podcast and QL videos now. So thanks poster, you broke my GiantBomb.

They played it up a while on purpose, to troll us all
I fucking love this thread. You guys always come up with amazing soap operas.
sexual tension.

This Patrick/Brad "beef" reminds me of when people thought Ryan hated Brad.

Not only great gaming content, but a telenovela as well. Don't even get me started on the Davis/Smith beef!

Patrick said before that people were talking about the friction between him and Brad, that they can't stand each other, etc. So basically once in a while they are at each other's throats to keep the "rumor" going, or so he said.

yah i dont care for patrick but i think there is a sympathy angle now with his metal plate and his sad attempt at his facial hair :3
I hate when these streams start so far after there planned time. How am I suppose to time eating a hot meal with watching the live stream if I have to sit here and wait for 20 min while my food cools, or rather sit here and eat all my food before the show starts? HOW DAMNIT!!!! TELL ME!!!

They're doing SC2 after all? I'm missing it.
I'm watching it on a pi and it looks sharp as hell.
Except for the Creep, that looks not so wonderful.
Yep. Brad playing from home, Jeff/Patrick/Dave/Ryan spectating from the studio.
Edit: And God of War: Ascension multiplayer later in the show.
community otherwise we couldn't watch
that's a good point
