Giant Bomb died when Ryan died
Do yourself a solid - stop consuming Dead Bomb content

Just watched the playdate with Abby , got to say im a fan. She seems to fit in and isn't a spouting sjw shit every second.

>>376991746
There's no other video game related podcasts worth listening to. If there was something better I'd gladly stop

I miss austin. he's a good crew member but not a great captain. waypoint sucks.

>>376991598
She doesn't even fucking say anything the whole podcast and the one time she does she doesn't even know who kojima is. How the fuck did she get hired? Was she the only person who applied?

Ben is already a better fit for the west than Dan ever was, he gives Jeff way more to bounce off than anyone else there does.

Abby seems pretty chill too, although from the playdate video it seemed like she hadn't played or even heard of most of the games they played/talked about and that strikes me as pretty odd.

>>376991981
i think she's going to be a femdrew. play the straight man and mostly brought on for a video producer. the non vidya stuff drew would talk about made him more interesting.

>>376992017
i like ben. his voice is weird but i got used to it after the first episode and he knows alot about games and having someone who actually knows stuff about current fighting games is nice.

There was a slight uptick around Dan but that momentum has died out and neither of the new hires seem particularly personable---and Abby barely seems knowledgeable about the last half-a-decade of games outside of the girl-bait like Zelda.

>>376993986
I still don't get the Alex hate on /v/. On mic/camera---pretty spotty but he's undeniably the best (living) writer of the bunch and when he's not being a snide asshole, he is knowledgeable about gaming history and passionate about his tangentially connected hobbies (decent MC on the short lived wrestling podcast).

Granted, I guess GB only publishes like ten reviews a year so his usefulness might be moot.

Dear fucking God this. As someone who's actually invested in the genre it's grating listening to Jason as the supposed "expert" on GB.

>>376995896
ben also seems like a weeb so thatll hopefully squash that aspect of jason too

>>376995289
I watched that Mario Party 10 quick look and it dawned on me that Dan is legit autistic. He looked like he wanted to cry when his amiibo didnt work.

>>376995679
Best GB tier list I've seen. Why bakalar doesn't get more love on here is beyond me.

>>376991885
So despite it being bad, you will stick with it cause other stuff is bad? That is retarded logic

At this point people still watching GB stuff are like battered house wives

>>376996260
It's common knowledge that he's autistic you fool, and not in a 4chan petty insult way

>>376995121
This, specially one about videogames.

>>376995883
go away ben

The new hires need to adjust to the job before it's possible to assess their personalities. Abby and Ben are both inoffensive and bland, but I'm sure they'll start to distinguish themselves - for better or for worse - as they settle in. Dan being the exception to this rule.
Regardless, Ben seems aggressively bland; and Abby is just awkward, although Vinny actively tries to have her open up.

It's definitely a little weird having someone like Drew - someone who doesn't necessarily play a wide range of games - on the Beastcast. I'm too used to people who play the heck out of video games for a living.

>>376995883
Then again, there's literally nothing wrong with saltines and water.

>>376996360
Did you just call me a fool?

Who's the PC guy on GB these days, Jason? though he represents the weebs too.

>>376996576
I mean, most of the staff plays popular releases at least a little bit, or has an opinion if they don't. Emphasis on popular. Beastcast barely being able to recall what SMT is when they talk about Persona non-stop surprised me, but I should've known better.

Abby's just the, "I've heard of it but haven't played it," person.

This is true. I think people seem to forget that Drew was uneasy being on mic/camera early on too but he got better.

gameinformer 2011-2015 was better

Abby is the borderline normie they hired for production work. She's fine.

>>376997550
If she's just there for production, and not to add anything to their content - Why the fuck have her ON camera to try and add to their content

>>376997320
t. paranoid delusional idiot

>>376997321
True. Drew changed dramatically over time.

It's basically impossible to complain about Ben, but Abby will likely be shit on for months and months. Drew's narrow interest in games was sometimes seen as a benefit; at worst, an annoyance. But because Abby's a woman, there will undoubtedly be a lot more bitching about it even though she's working production.

>>376997643
It's almost like they want to develop people. That's all GB's done for years. Even Vinny learned a lot under Ryan.

it's good to see that giant bomb are still looking out for the consumer and not sticking up for their friends that work for video game companies.

>>376997809
I do, I love waypoint, it's just hard because listening to waypoint puts into perspective how far Giant bomb has fallen.

So he was arrested rushing at him while yelling, so... fake news. Nothing different than what happens to Code Pink people all the time. This guy isn't a reporter (even though he might think he is), he's some tabloid hack trying to push his outlets chosen media narrative.

Not that guy, but at this point there's no reason to be shitting on Abby other than that retarded ass tweet(some of her others are actually kind of funny). She's as inoffensive as people come, being mostly quiet, and acknowledging when she's ignorant of something. Most of the complaints seem to be the most egregious case of lonely virgin syndrome.

Drew was hired to ship out t-shirts.

>>376999320
too much work to write shitty blog tier article "pieces" as it stand now he is in a pretty high position cushiony job

>>376999107
in general he is pretty shitty but without anyone to enable his faggotry like fatrick he isn't that bad and sometimes he can be quite enjoyable, so far he's pretty good in the yakuza playthroughs

>>377003373
I purposely never mentioned why he was hired.

>>377003438
how is that at all like Drew then? What the fuck are you even saying?

>>377003296

As much as I think this argument is dumb as fuck, Drew made some shitty school video games and worked summers as a tester when he was young.

Still everyone in this thread is stupid, both the new hires are alright. Not great or terrible just middling. Ben does kind of lose that great historical knowledge of games GB has always touted but at least he isn't actively being shitty.

It sucks they keep hiring new people that just leave and it fucks with them building a strong chemistry. The best saving grace recently is Jeff just saying fuck it and Skyping Quick Looks and other shit. Jeff+Vinny best.

>>377003296
But Drew wasn't pushed out the gate, he was slowly eased in and even then people would complain about him on the podcast being an nonentity

>>377003489
Because they were both not meant to be on screen personalities. She mirrors Drew in video game knowledge and job class, through osmosis he became a great on screen personality.

>>377003538
There wasn't literal vitriol for everything Drew did when he was brought on.

>>377003296
>Drew, who had no vidya knowledge
worst meme

>>377003738
>There wasn't literal vitriol for everything Drew did when he was brought on.
Nearly everything Drew did was off camera.

>>377003738
Drew knows plenty about video games, he played up himself as a straight man on the podcast to help host. He also specializes into genres of games that I personally appreciated, which he knew plenty about.

He also worked as a tester. He also truly never was intended to be on camera. Not like now where it's very obvious that that person will be there to fill in on QLs or podcasts, fucking obviously.

I don't know why you're acting like such an apologist for an obvious diversity hire. It's not even that bad considering what insanity they could have hired.

>>377003738
>There wasn't literal vitriol for everything Drew did
Cause he was slowly eased in, was used when he knew stuff (when he didn't like many times on the podcast people complained) and was likeable

Abby is pushed from the start, knows nothing and isn't likeable at best being quite but when she opens up and is full LOL vagina farts people aren't gonna like her.

>>377003738
yeah because Drew is fucking awesome
he went to North Korea for shits and giggles

>>377003962
>pushed from the start

Ben has been in like 10 quick looks. Abby has been on screen once.

>>377003738
>through osmosis he became a great on screen personality
If this was true, then Brad should be amazing. There would be no "shit tier" or "glad they left tier", either.
Some people just work on screen with the crew and others don't. Abby isn't here, you don't have to defend her so hard.

>>377003738
Thing is they've been constantly saying they want to hire people who can be on cam in addition to whatever else they need to do so we kinda expected that.

first, he said "another quick look another salty brad" which he didn't need to say to express his criticism. at this point he's just being an asshole and its literally the first thing in his post.

then he posted an actual criticism but worded it bad.

and then he capped it off with a straight up put-down of brad as if calling him a walking bummer would somehow make him shape up and act differently.

all the mod said in the first post is to be respectful and of the 3 lines posted, he wasn't in 2 of them. and then mr. edgy here came back with some gussied up /v/ shit about fedoras and safe spaces just because he's that mad about getting modded.

Why delete the comment? Did the moderator fear Brad's actions of Bradley Footwearcreator if he were to read the Giant Bomb forum and discover a paying subscriber said wrote he noticed Brad's consistently dull and lackadaisical hosting and how it mad for an unpleasant viewing experience? Was that moderator acting on whim, policy or personal favor? Was the site's forum improved by this moderative act??

>>377021632
>when they're literally paying money for that product

why do you idiots keep bringing this up? as if paying them money somehow makes it fine to harass them?

calling him salty and a walking bummer is some thinly disguised shitposting, not to mention the tangent the dude went on about with the fedora/safe space shit all the while backhandedly saying "love you guys" as if to save himself from the ban.

protip: if you don't like the videos brad is in (which is quite clearly the case given how this guy started with 'another quick look another salty brad') don't watch the fucking video or better yet! don't fucking subscribe to them if its that intolerable.

>He called out Brad for being a whining little shitbag and they deleted his comment.

Drew is a pretty interesting person outside of videogames. He travels, has several hobbies, and does weird shit that's interesting to hear about on the bomcast. It's no given that she'll bring anything close to that to the table. There's also a very clear line between a casual like Drew who plays a few games every year, and someone who can only think of playing AC.

>only game Abby brought up was AC
>obviously its the only game she ever thinks about or plays

wow, i forgot how bad this shitposting here is when it comes to everyone's favorite e-celebs.

Rorie please go back to fucking your dogs, nobody wants you here

>judging new hires based on their first few appearances

Why don't you wait until they get into a groove and develop a rapport with the others before bitching?

>oneyplays

Who the fuck is this and why have I seen like 5 separate instances of his fan(s?) bitching about threads on him being deleted in the last day or so as if anyone else cares?

SJW hacks need to burn

>>377021989
>he said something stupid
He criticized a content creator as a paying subscriber
>worded it poorly
using direct language
>and they modded him for it
and they deleted the comment, warned him to only express positivity whenever addressing anything related to Giant Bomb and eventually banned him for taking umbrage with their interpretation of the policy.
>what a novel fucking concept.
>I'm sarcastically stating that restrictions applied to how an individual express themselves, especially when that statement directs unfavorable attention toward the subject is "novel" and new, which of course implies those in positions of power (like this moderator or adjudicator acting in Brad Shoemaker's stead) who enforce personal interpretations of a site's rules and regulations for interpersonal communication is totally okay and everyone should support any decision made by those using power. Without complaint!

No.

>Conservatives in ireland prosecute a comedian for "Blasphemy against the christian god"

Blasphemy laws in ireland are a product of their past that still exist and the claim was made to bring attention to them to bring them off the books. It had nothing to do with actual blasphemy and the charges were dropped due to lack of outrage.
