well I spent five bucks. you should too.
I wonder how many steam games have benefited from the "Giant Bomb Touch".
How has Giant Bomb touched you?

The Jackbox party pack is the only thing I can think of where I instantly bought it after watching GB play it.

Downwell only, I think.

I bought Persona 4 and Deadly Premonition because of Giant Bomb.
And I've got some hot couch multiplayer game tips from them of course, like Gang Beasts.

Yep, same here but thankfully I came to that realization within the Steam refund window.
Jackbox, Grow Home, and Pony Island are the games I can think off of the top of my head that I bought after seeing them in GB content. I'm sure there are others, too.

Just a bit of cross posting from the Japan travel thread, but there's a bit of a price war going on between United and Delta. If any duders here are looking to visit Japan there a dirt cheap prices are to be had. I just bought tickets last night, non-stop O'Hare to Tokyo for $440 (after using my credit card reward points I only paid $75).

GB made me check out Warframe and given the hours i have placed in it so far that suggestion was both a blessing and a curse.

This reminds me I tried out that Marvel FTP game because of Jeff. Didn't end up getting into it, those sort of FTP models always seem to overwhelm me at a certain point and they turn me right off the games.
So one(?) interesting game behind.

I'm now two UPFs behind =/
Definitely wouldn't have thought twice about Divekick if not for their coverage/knowing who Dave Lang is. I even bodied Jeff on a stream once!
I've bought games that they've played, but not necessarily because they played them? Like the first time Gang Beasts was on I had downloaded it before their first fight ended. That beta had about twelve total downloads before Vinny showed it off on UPF, but I would have gotten it no matter who introduced it to me.
As far as games I bought only because somebody on staff strongly recommended them, I could build a Cyberpunk category in Steam now and that's all Austin's fault. Divekick is definitely another good example that I probably wouldn't have bought if they hadn't talked about it as much as they did.
On the opposite side I avoided Downwell because I thought it looked bad in GB videos until I had it repeatedly recommended by friends.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
That's a weird thing to say.
If I just heard "Yeah, this game is good for 2$ but never for 5$" I would think it's a fucking terrible game.

The first two games that come to mind that GB sold me are devil daggers (obviously) and mount your friends. Mount your friends was such a good purchase. The Nuclear Throne QL also sold me on that, but I had been aware of it before.
Haha, I missed that too!

GB sold me on Dropsy and Her Story and they ended up being two of my favorite games of 2015.

I'm like 2 minutes in but this is already the most stilted and awkward podcast I've ever listened to.

That iranian game seems pretty good looking for a bunch of self taught dudes.
I'm self-taught and I made Rise of the Tomb Raider on PC.

That dagger game seems like something you'd check a youtube channel for every week to see what the latest run is. Wonder if it actually ends or not.

Finally watching the Witness w/ Jon Blow video, this is great.
I'd be way into a running series of devs coming in to talk at length about their games post-release. Giant Bomb Commentary Track or something. (I guess this is kind of what Double Fine / 2PP's Devs Play series is. I also guess not many games would be as interesting as The Witness to dive into.)

The Cook, Serve, Delicious QL sold me on the game, and I bought it pretty much right after.

Euro Truck 2 and Dark Souls are two games I bought because of Giant Bomb. Though my purchase is more to support the games because I haven't played them.
Oh and Contradiction and Read Only Memories too.
Cook Serve as well.

Do you not listen to Idle Thumbs?
He was like a top secret spy sent by nintendo.
I didn't say it, that is why it is in quotes. It is the official response to Kanye suing The Pirate Bay. I have not heard the album so can't speak to it's quality.
