I don't know what Xcom ya'll are playing, I'm looking right at the anime here.

I feel like this sentiment goes around fairly often, cyclically. Definitely a rut atm. Starting to wonder if GB West's feature output isn't a long rut with some occasional peaks (not counting regular QL's and so forth)
Ironically, they have one feature seemingly everybody loves (Demo Derby) and fucking NEVER DO THEM
they sure don't mind having some famous characters on the set
Kidding aside, in the end the sets had a decent amount of decoration. I totally get the reasoning that they want to figure out the setup and baffling before dressing the set up.
The GI shot is too far zoomed out, for my taste. But looking at the photos posted from the new podcast studio, that won't happen despite it's size.

I don't even know what point you're trying to make.

I'm on the boat for a Demo Derby weekly
Dan, I know you're in here! Imagine how many taco bell commercials you haven't seen yet on Demo Derby's!

A bunch of marketing materials doesn't make for a great set.God I hope its Mary or Danny. Someone who doesn't apologize for talking on a podcast after they make a comment or state their input.
Anyway if GB every did a video podcast I think it would be super dope if it was like the GI podcast. They sit around a table on a cool set.
Pretty good way to contrast what makes GB special compared to other sites. They get that shit, too, but either just make fun of it or making the material their own (Cool Baby). Just unironically putting publisher shit in the background is pretty terrible, not far removed from those other people wearing the plastic Fallout Pip-Boys while podcasting.

Screw that, think about all the board games they've been sent. Where are they even keeping them?!
I also saw special Kerbal episode with Scott Manley. shortsFortallPeople

well, with jason and dan came a few new features but nothing really since. We had a couple of old games shows and rank of fighters is a once every 2-3 months thing if we're lucky.
I remember when they were really trying to pump up subscription numbers after the first year of premiums was basically HD videos and Whiskey Happy Hour ::shudders:: and they had so many new and great features that it was like overload for a minute there.
Project Beasts is great, but MGScanlon is winding down and Mario Party Party hasn't happened since they did a live episode (a common tv gimmick for ratings). we're now balls deep into february and there's been a drought in content for several months now.
I would just like an update or something, I know a lot of this is out of their hands but the lack of any sort of comment about why their output continues to suffer as the west coast studio looks like it's at least functional is starting to get past the hey-theyre-moving-give-them-time stage into the should-i-renew stage.
It feels like an eternity since when they would often post 2-3 videos/features a day AND also throw a quick look up on saturdays and sundays.

That 3/5 was very well deserved.
The only proper way to decorate a set.

I'd probably stay subscribed indefinitely if there was even one demo derby a month

I'm all about the idea of having a weekly Demo Derby.
PLEASE. They probably have 100+ demo discs now, and could use some more good / consistent weekly content.

I still say just turn UPF into a whole crew live Demo Derby each week. It's something people love and has less chance of going back to being in a rut.
Where is your hang-up?
I think UPF is fine, but would be more interesting if they did more than just pick random games off of Steam 20 minutes before it started. I do like the looser nature of the show compared to the old Friday shows when they were with Whiskey Media, but I think maybe setting up some special stuff to do during shows or trying to spice it up would make sense. At this point it feels more like "this is a thing we have to do" instead of something they actively enjoy.
Hell, they should just spend a Friday show decorating / finishing the studio.

Only if they wear their Fallout 4 Pip-Boy edition Pip-Boys.Anyway if GB every did a video podcast I think it would be super dope if it was like the GI podcast. They sit around a table on a cool set.
i.e. hell no

I do sometimes wonder why they commit to having everyone bring a game, especially when that sometimes leads to games that nobody seems to care about being on.

maybe if we just keep talking about how great a weekly demo derby feature would be, someone on the GB staff will notice
but seriously I remember seeing them tweet out a picture of their discs and they totally have a OPM demo disc I have that I want them to play
It's got demos for Gitaroo Man (Mojo King Bee level, too), Maximo, Airblade, Parappa 2, and Frequency on it, it's so god damn good

Part of that is that F1 isn't happening yet. Although with Pastor Maldonado out, they should do a special commemorative podcast.
Yeah every week there's a "someone tweeted me about this dumb game on Steam an hour ago and I have no idea what this is."
Hopefully so. Didn't MGScanlon basically happen because people loved that Demo Derby segment and asked for more?
Hey Dan, hey Brad: You two should do a Hitman: Blood Money premium series. That Unfinished was a lot of fun.

Hitting Brad?
HitDan: Brad Money?

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Yes. That's how that works, dummy.
Sometimes Brad or Dan come here to steal out ideas for GB content so we just have to keep mentioning it until they see it.

OPM #61 has Robot Alchemic Drive. #71 has Fugitive Hunter. #86 has Ghost in the Shell. #107 has Yakuza. Actually, the demo DVDs get sad closer to the end of the PS2's life. There's always OXM to fall back on.

Look man, I need my giantbomb 24 hours, 7 days of the week.
We need the CNN of giantbomb.
BIG LIVE LIVE SHOW LIVE EVERY DAY
I think the only real option is HitDan: Brad Money.

If I can consume it faster than they can produce it, they are doing a poor job. Lazy bastards.

I think that they understand I (we) have no life (lives) and chew through the content at a faster than normal rate as well as enjoying it so much we tend to prioritise it and desire it more than content from a lot of other sources.
