Wait, people are legit excited for Garshasp? I figured that all the talk in the Steam thread was just sarcasm.

It's a Giantbomb thread, so just assume they like it ironically.

I'm very excited about the Dragonball Z Kinect game, even though I do not own a Kinect, thanks to Giant Bomb.

Did you see the original Garshasp QL? I think that informed a lot of the "love" for that game here.

Have any of you ever played garshasp? No? Didn't think so. Its awesome. Play it. Takes like 2 hours max.
Edit: Rapstah played that shit.

I'm not going to lie, I had Ryan's "GARSHASP!!!" as my text message ring tone for about a week.

I'm pretty sure that channels only show up on the Twitch app when they go live (unless they have changed it recently.)
So you can only watch stuff live? Ughh that sucks...

I love Giant Bomb, and obviously think premium is plenty of value because I've been subscribed for some time, but why do they seem so averse to making premium content?
I mean all it takes is them to sit down and play a game while recording it, I know there's recording equipment and stuff but there are tons and tons of LPers on YouTube who make videos every single day with only short breaks in between series.
I'm not upset or anything, because really I barely have time to watch what there is, but I just don't understand what they're always busy with?

Yup, a breakdown of what they do as a reason for a lack of premium content would be really interesting. In my eyes, there's no real reason to not get at least one bit of premium content per day. 6-8 hours per week (excluding TNT which doesn't count as premium) would be the sweet spot.
QLs, Bombcast and reviews are really all the other stuff they do. Sometimes articles/news stories. Doesn't add up to me.
We talked about this a fair bit near the end of the last thread and some people thought it might be because Vinny does CV videos too, but I dunno if that's true. Even then I argued I'm sure they could set up a way to record themselves easily as (like you said) people on YT do it with much less sophisticated equipment when it isn't even their job.
I always feel like an ass posting something that looks like GB = lazy when I know they read but hey, it's how I feel sometimes. A bit of info one way or another wouldn't go amiss.
Monday - Random PC Game
Tuesday - Jurassic Park whatever
Wednesday - Load Your Last Save
Thursday - Something pre-TNT, retro games or something
Friday - Breaking Brad / Radio Show / Flight School could rotate since there's maybe less content to do them weekly.
+ Jar Time whenever Jeff has something to say.
A schedule like that would be Godly. It would only take two people to do each of them as well, maybe three if you need a video guy there. That still leaves a lot of staffers for other stuff.

Hell Yeah: Wrath of the Dead Rabbit it said on the screen.
Never heard of it, but great title.

It's not completely awesome though because they seem to have fucked up some of the archives in the process. Like the TNT where they played Civ V and the Ticket To Ride board game is unwatchable right now. It just redirects between justin and twitch endlessly. Hopefully that will be fixed at some point.

Yesterday they were showing that the DOA 5 ql was coming today. Now it looks like the coming up panel was pulled down. They could just be doing some maintenance/tweaking.

Was checking out the Jeff Gerstmann Wikipedia page and did you know Jeff is the 12th biggest video game celebrity according to some random magazine?

Apparently he is one above Reggie but below Adam Sessler.

And THAT was E3.
And here I was on a perfect 6-month streak forgetting she existed. Thanks a lot.
Leigh Alexander writes great articles as well as an interesting monthly column (Edge). I do not think that dismissing her because of a single drunken appearance on an after-show special episode podcast two years ago is fair to her.
People in the GiantBomb community really love to harp on her without knowing any of her other material.

I've heard her on multiple podcasts, have read a number of her columns as an Edge subscriber, and have read some of her articles online as well. She is abysmal.
Edit - her writing isn't terrible, though I've certainly disagreed with her in the past. But how she has presented herself as a person on podcasts and on twitter is extremely unappealing. Even if I thought she was a great writer I would be hugely turned off.
It's like when I found out Jack Kerouac was actually a big drunk jerk.
Do it once, shame on me. Do it twice, shame on you.

I don't get it.
Where can I view this chili cast?
Pretty much this. I'm a bit familiar with her work and find it fairly middling, which is whatever, but it's the persona that's sealed the deal in making me uninterested in further following her work.
Same reason I typically avoid Alex's content on the site.

I clicked this page and my computer locked the fuck up and froze. Hasn't happened in like 4 years. So I don't even know what happened.
