Super Best Friends Thread 5: There's a Skeleton Inside Each of Us

So we're just known as anime nerds, huh? Well, I guess... Yeah... Yeah...

I like both equally, I just got in on this thread at the beginning.
 
Hmm, well, if I had to summarise it: The main output these days consists of the weekly podcast (Giant Bombcast) and Quick Looks (commentated videos on new releases) which are about 30-60min long on average. The site runs on a premium model on top of that, subscribing gives you access to Premium videos which can range from playthroughs (stuff like Demon Souls, DMC1, Bioforge, etc.) of whole games to one-offs to other series like Pathfinder (crew plays board games) or Demo Derby (Dan & Drew play old demo discs).

There's obviously a huge video archive to dig through with lots of old features (Random PC Game, Load Our Last Save, Endurance Run, This Ain't No Game, etc.) that are discontinued in favour of other stuff. Ultimately, though, your enjoyment of the site will solely hinge on how much you enjoy the personalities, the humour, etc. I reckon it's not too different for SBF.

As long as it's hilarious, I'll most likely get into it.

IF you're interested, the OP has some Best Friend one-off from Machinima that showcase the kind of humor the Zaibatsu do.
I've seen some Quick Looks. I like the daft humor Patrick(I think that's his name) brings to the videos. I always appreciate a good smartass.

Thanks, I'll have to check that out!

Patrick is great on video but since he was hired as a news guy first and foremost AND since he's alone in Chicago now he's mostly doing articles these days. He still does Spookin' With Scoops, though (Scoops is one of his nicknames; he plays horror games - his favourite genre - in that feature), and the occasional Spelunky.

Oh that sucks! Who's the core group that we should all focus on? I Know Jeff and I know Dan and Patrick. Not sure about the others.
 
Quick Update!

Narukami (Staryu) LV 14
Navi (Castform) LV 15
Issun (Heracross) LV14
Marle (Meditite) LV 8

Not going to bother with Marle. I am now attempting Mt Moon.

So, the situation right now:

Patrick is in Chicago.

Jeff, Dan, Drew and Jason are in the main office in San Francisco. Also, honorary bomber ("Green Ranger") Danny O'Dwyer from Gamespot. Note: There's a lot of people that do not work for GB that are considered secondary bombers, basically. People like Dave Lang, Adam Boyes, Johnny Vignocchi, Samantha Kalman, Cara Ellison, and many others. GB has lots of friends!

Alex and Vinny (who moved pre-E3) are holding it down in New York.

The split has actually made it possible to produce more content. NY is moving office soon but once they get settled in, it should get pretty crazy. We had a couple of weeks where we were drowning in content. They can just do way more this way which was a pleasant surprise (since a lot of people were sad to see Vinny go, understandably. He's a fan favourite, gotta love Vinny.).

Here's a very recent thing GB West did y'all have probably already seen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkL9SP3HJZE

You know, a good way to try out GB might be the upcoming Extra Life stream (next Friday is probably the date). We're possibly looking at 72 hours of streaming if GB West does 24, GB East does 24 and Brad does 24 solo from home like he did last year.

HAH that GIF has gotten plenty of mileage in here.

I passed by the GB office in NY. They're pretty close by. I know that VGNY they did a video on.
