I watch GB on my WiiU so I'll never know about it because it's a match made in heaven.

I bet Jason and Dan will help him along by telling him what he has to do to unlock the missions, there's enough there to warrant more than just looking at Youtube videos.
Pocket Casts is amazing. Don't know what id do without it.
Damn, what a shame about GT.
Remember Jeff saying recently the balance of video hosting costs vs in-house ad sales is at the tipping point where it probably now makes more financial sense to go fully youtube-hosted if they had launched the site today. Can't imagine what the numbers must have looked like for GT.

Danny is showing GameTrailers lots of love on Twitter.
Man, I can't imagine a world without YouTube. And in fact, despite being 19 when YouTube launched, it's sort of hard to remember a pre-YouTube world, to remember the Wild West of so many various video players. I remember watching said videos, but remember very little about those video players, since YouTube absolutely perfected (well, not immediately) everything.

Anybody blame ad blocker too? I don't use it but when I talk about it with other people, some of them talk as if they're going to die if they didn't have it.

RealPlayer is still a threat.

I never frequented Gametrailers but anytime a site with a following like that shuts down it's a major bummer. Hope the staff there lands on their feet.

I just checked to see if RealPlayer even existed anymore. It does.

That sucks for GT but i think it was coming for a while (Keighly, Shane Stat leaving, layoffs, wasn't a fan of the Defy company, etc)
still though *pours 40*
They were pretty damn good in the early days and the E3 stuff was usually some of the best (i chilled with them for a good while until GB took over my viewing time)

Ooooh shit, just finished the latest Project BEAST.
I cannot freaking wait for the next episode.
What a great episode! Every pass through the atmosphere was exhilarating, and then that teaser at the end!!

Really sad for GT and their fans. Having your favorite game's media website close down hurts a lot.

High quality video production is either expensive or slow, you don't get fast and cheap. Its why everyone is either going low-fi on YouTube or making the subscription thing work like GB. Ad revenue just doesn't support high quality video any more. The question is if it will continue to support text
Love the boost voices and remove silence features as well.

Damn, super sad to hear about GT. Used to watch their reviews all the time. Hope they all land on their feet.
Also, it's always bizarre how many drive by shitposts about GB show up in GT threads. The sites seem barely connected to each other.

The Kerbal teaser is out of this world.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun introduced a subscription service (for supporter articles) last year that they've said is working well for them. They're entirely PC-focused and largely text-based with some video stuff. IIRC it's like IGN where the subscription has additional benefits, like coupons or free games or stuff like that.
So I'd imagine it's crowdsourced revenue or bust, with ads going away in the long-term. Advertising is counter to usability, and this has been its downfall in an era where usability and instant access are key.

After last year's E3 crap, it's not surprising.
Same. Checked out the rest of the story on youtube and called it a day
Don't you have to listen to every Important (marked Yellow) tape to trigger

what the fuck
if i kill you and eat your heart, do i gain your isp?
What actually happened? I don't remember any beef and typing giant bomb game trailers into Google has not been productive.
It's a made up and sad beef between fans of the sites
The stupid debate that GT got too excited and GB doesn't show any emotion.

And I'm here with 15mbps, the best I can get where I live. Damn you.
15 MB sounds like a dream to me. Because the rural US has trash internet, I have to live with a connection that goes between 1.5 and 2.

It mostly angry Shenmue fans pissed that Giant Bomb didn't cry at the Shenmue 3 Kickstarter announcement.
Oh boy that's some bargain basement non consumer grade beef right there

I'm screaming at Project B.E.A.S.T.
They seem to have this conception that they'll be stuck in orbit if they eject their booster too early during this weird re-entry experiment they're doing. but their periapsis is IN ATMOSPHERE. Even if they ejected, every time they pass through the atmosphere, they will slow down. Eventually the orbit would degrade enough that they would actually re-enter. They're literally ignoring the very principle that they're already using!

Actually that thread is an interesting snapshot into the vibe of GT after E3, if you cut away the beef.
I have good news
they use that principle to get home. Even if they do it in the slowest way possible by jettisoning their remaining fuel
Just a bad look for everyone involved. Got so bad that EmCee was close to shutting this thread down for a while. The most pathetic of fanboy Wars.
And here I was thinking that every place up there had great internet. Grass is always greener, I guess.

Pretty sure they were misled by the visuals:
they're so afraid of their remaining fuel exploding from atmospheric heat that they eject it super early, even though the actual heat they're experiencing is mild and it just looks scary on screen

I have good news, most of the US has my level of internet coverage or worse.
