Agreed, but I've also always really liked Alex. A little variety is definitely good though, it'd be nice to get a guest in for a GBEast QL every once and a while.

god I love that intro music at the start so much.
This, he never goes along with Vinny's jokes and it makes things too serious. I don't even dislike Alex but if he keeps killing Vinny's humor then I might start to.

I don't know what you consider negative but I don't think Alex has been all that negative. In fact I would go so far as to call him 'chipper' in his quick looks with Vinny.
The NBA, chariot, bridge constructor, naruto and the moon platformer quick looks have both of them having a lot of fun.
I don't understand where the Alex being negative thing comes from.
And Velvet Sundown is probably one of the best Quick Looks the site has ever done.
I really hope so.

if vinny was tired of GB/had any plans of getting tired of GB in the near future he would've left when he moved.

He's barely even snarky nowadays, though he probably used it all up on naming trailers.
I dunno - I feel like Alex has mellowed out a whole lot. I feel like in his GS 'backwards cap-wearing days' he was super, super, snarky, and sometimes it felt really overbearing.
Now, he seems much more quick to talk about the things he enjoys, just as much as anything negative. Maybe that's a result of actually being part of content that they have much more personal investment towards -I'm not sure.
Now I feel weird for trying to analyze a personality. One that I only know through the microcosm of video game websites, no less...

let's get down to the real GB problem at the moment: Jason, bless him, sucks at writing the little one sentence summaries that are attached to videos.
Like, he really sucks at it. But I like the guy, don't get me wrong.

They're called weekends in this thread.
I think the main issues with the Vinny and Alex content is a lack of variety they just need guests to rotate in. ANother issue is in SF you would get a mixture of the games Vinny wanted to play (adventure games, weird indie pc stuff) and games Jeff and Brad wanted to play (AAA games, shooters) whereas now SF gets sent the majority of the console stuff so it only really leave the PC games and the occasional console game SF aren't interested in such as D4.
They need to clone Jeff.
You gotta' do what you love!

I have some old Football Follies vhs tapes i could send them...
I wonder why there's no Borderlands QL on the site
As someone who used to work in a videoclub and would see similar stuff with some of the porno vhs in the return bin, I can relate.

gamecube games are better when they stick together

When that happens do they turn into Wii games?

Clone Jeff would go wrong and hate fast food, wrestling, and NFL Blitz but love Yoshi, Claptrap, and Shenmue. Do you want to unleash this on the world?
Yeah, good idea even if it got a bit old after a few minutes
Anyways, going back through a few Random PC Games and stumbled upon Daggerfall. It has over 1200 comments, and I wondered why. Turns out it's one of the first Premium videos, and maybe the first "Quick Look style video of an old game" to go behind the paywall. If anyone's interested to see what kind of backlash there was against Premium in the start, I recommend that comment section
VENGEANCE!!! Breakfast burritos, but also VENGEANCE!!!

Jeff cosplaying as Claptrap...
I feel like this would go well for a few months, but it will all go wrong when Clone Jeff spends a significant chunk of some podcast explaining his deep love for Nights Journey of Dreams

Yay! Love these and I haven't seen any content with Vinny in a loooong time.

You've got to say it 5 times while looking in a mirror.
YES ;_; I need this.
Excuse me for a moment. I'm certainly not starting a kickstarter for a wrestling anime where Jeff works his way through all challengers on the internet to eventually face Anti-Jeff in a cage match.

The problem i have with alex is thay he's too serious about things, Vinny suggests doing something stupid in a quick look and Alex just does not want to play along.Vinny is great because he manages to look outside the box on games and discovers ridiculous things but Alex is restraining him a bit.

Y'all should watch some 2003 Alex. What a rascal.
This really makes me miss the Whiskey Media days

How does he find time for anything?

I decided to look at old GB content...

It's weird.
Basement office is still the top tier Giant Bomb.
I don't know, that period of Giant Bomb is a little too "underground" for my tastes.
...
I'll see myself out.
I preferred the Whiskey office. It was just enough off the grid, but also not a dark, flood prone, flea infested basement 10 miles away from San Francisco. Basement office also felt weird because they were in such a shitty place but filled it with great work and amazing talent.
I fell off the bombcast for a long time this year, so I was catching up and Jeff's rant on REREmake is my favorite rant since the Duke Nukem or the SimCity GOTY one. It's a quality rant. It's not the 'it's hot trash!' ones. It's the one where you're like, 'oh god, he's right.'
I miss the basement days too. It's when the guys felt the most free to do whatever they wanted.
Also Giant Bomb Achievements Check-In is definitely when Drew looked the most like Dexter.

Quick Look: After Burner Climax is the best Endurance Run.
