>>386176168
Thanks m8

why do you guys even bother with these threads? its the same boring shit every week and the threads always get deleted anyway.

This is amazing who are these guys?

>>386176662
He orignally complained about Overcooked's optimization on the Switch and then some gamedev suggested that Nick ((( harassed ))) a bunch of women in the games industry. After that a few females*came out on twitter implying that they were *victims*.

All of this happening on Twitter and Neogaf.

She's actually funny on the podcasts, good chemistry with Vinny. I know Vinny can gel with anyone even a retard like Dan and a void like Alex but I prefer Vinny and her to either of them.

>>386177491
He's okay. He was in a UPF not that long ago and seemed really autistic about rhythm games. His twitter always seemed mildy SJW so it's funny to see them turn on one of their own.

He did make some comment about wanting to fuck Krystal from Starfox a while back. That didn't go over too well with the strong women.

>>386177578
>>386176925

Why is all GBWest content so baaaaaaaaad

Ummm, sweetie? /r/MGTOW is THAT way

>>386178735
He's putting out an extremely slow amount of videos, sold the entire thing as traveling with a large focus on gaming, none of it has featured gaming. Just a vacation for him.

>>386179484
Working a job at GB, which no way pays for the size of that apartment(see brad's apartment) , AIRPLANE FLYING LICENSE just casually joining it, which costs thousands of dollars to do, probably more in SF, bikes and exercises as leisure activities, always wearing expensive clothing.

That's cool. But he lives in a small ass apartment in SF. Drew's is twice the size, and he didn't make the bank off the CBS deal that Ryan, Jeff, Vinny and Brad did.

Yeah that's the thing there's no concrete allegation or accusation. It's more along the lines of a few women made some comments that point to someone being a creep. But these posts came directly AFTER that game dev said that Nick messages women often.

He was dating the the community manager for Crunchyroll. He was getting weeb puss and doesn't need whales who happen to like vidya.

You can tell people don't want it to be GG because there's literally no actual libel. It's all very vague. Nick hasn't said anything but if he does say something it could be the spark to blow everything even more out of proportion. At least this site isn't directly involved atm.

eh, he seems pretty happy with his significant other, i honestly don't care very much

>>386184803
Yes and no. It's honestly funnier and more light hearted than the west. The west is so dead and boring whereas the east is actually entertaining.

>>386184803
It's entertaining, if you care for the beast crew. It feels like they never quite managed to strike a balance of fun tangents and actual discussion, though, but nobody runs as tight a ship as Ryan did back in the day.

>>386184986
>>386184939
>>386184942
will they ever make a video podcast?

Is anyone else in tr GB Facebook group? That shit is the worst.

>>386185114

nope

>>386185047
JUST SHAVE IT OFF ALREADY

>>386182824
Ben is the exact opposite of breath of fresh air. He adds absolutely nothing to the west. Corny as fuck humor, taste in games that are already covered by other members and has a horrible podcast voice.

His only saving grace is the ability to riff with Jeff. But Jeff can riff with anybody as long as they're willing.

Jeff always looks like he's balding but never actually does. What's up with that?

My only gripe is that none of them ever finishes games outside of maybe a handful a year. Every podcast is them mentioning a game and then saying they only played and hour and never got back into it or just saying they dropped a game. Brad seems to be the worst with it.

>>386185303
Ryan chemically bleached his hair in a gas station bathroom.

I never believed in the chances of a Persona 5 endurance run, but I had high hopes for a Vinny/Jeff spoilercast, even cross coast. It's sad that they'll probably never touch it again.

Mark my words, they'll settle it at #10 on the GOTY list and let it get best style without anyone being particularly enthusiastic about it. And no way it's getting best music against NieR.

Nier has a few great tracks but by the end it's just generic orchestral video game music.

>>386185820
They'll give Cuphead best style. Which is wrong but considering only 2 of them actually give a shit about Persona, it's the way it'll go down.

PUBG will be GOTY for them. With Zelda at #2. Dan will try and fight for it to be number one but since it's Dan, and Jeff tepid response to it, he won't win.

>that time when Brad asked everyone to run a train on him and only Kessler showed up
Jeus Christ.

Hello, I'm from the distant future of 2018, and here's GB's 2017 list.
#1 : BotW
#2 : PUBG
#3 : Mario Odyssey
#4 : NieR Automata
#5 : Yakuza 0
#6 : Destiny 2
#7 : Horizon : Zero Dawn
#8 : Pyre
#9 : Wolfenstein II
#10 : Persona 5

>>386186930

>>386186920
That's the tragedy, this has been one of the best years for gaming in nearly a decade and a meme streamer game will take Goty because none of them actually plays games.

>>386179208
Nothing
Nothing ever happens, nothing will ever happen, and there's no real value in watching anything that comes out of Giant Bomb that you can't get elsewhere

>>386185820
Nah, both Persona 5 and Nier are Japanese games so they aren't going to get shit

>>386186930
>have to make up extravagant lies just to make these shitshows interesting
The absolute state of Giant Bomb. Even the fucking mundane ones like "oh shit Vinny looks fucking pissed" are 100x more interesting than the content they're shitting out.

>>386186660
He talked on this weeks podcast about being in a halfway house as a kid and letting himself get beat up because he didn't want to get in trouble.

can you fill me in

>>386186920
All PUBG has to do is get an official release before the year is done for them to hand the award to it.

And even if it doesn't, Jeff might still argue for it by making the claim "what is early access anymore?/every game is early access when you think about it". Alex was already starting that bullshit recently on the beastcast.

>>386187786
you have to read the book

>>386187910
I actually see Jeff pushing back against it winning to maintain his hipster cred because everyone else likes it. Doom deserved the last win but he brought up the irrelevant multiplayer to shaft it.

>thinking Mario Odyssey isn't taking GOTY
Jeff "screaming at employees about Mario like a manchild" Gertsmann and Dan won't let that happen

>>386188269
>implying jeff wont have some autistic nitpick about it and bump it out of the top 5

when the f*ck does it start?

I got out of the habit of watching quick looks and listening to the podcast when Patrick came on. I hate his voice and attitude. He was quick look poison for me. There was a time when I listened/watched everything they put out, before the paywall of course. I went back recently and I honestly miss Vinny and Jeffs rapport. It sucks they are never in videos together anymore.

>>386188405
It's ova nigga, you missed it.

>>386188269
Jeff's gonna react the same exact way towards Odyssey as he did towards Zelda. He'll be excited leading up to it but once it comes out and everybody praises the shit out of it, he'll lose interest and continually harp on some feature he doesn't like. He'll pick it up once everybody is done with it but once goty podcast come around, say it didn't do much for him.

>>386187786
Some female Twitch employee (I think they're an employee, either that or some established streamer) went MIA after the E3 Twitch party. No one could contact her for over a day, people trying to raise awareness about it since obviously the first thing they all thought was kidnapped or drugged or whatever. Turns out she decided to go to a casino with a dead phone and told no one about it. Some bullshit about "just wanting to get away from it all for a bit"

Don't know why that guy would think it's noteworthy enough to be mentioned for a GotY category. It makes the girl look bad. Alex wouldn't stand for it. Has to be a white male that is doing wrong (but can't be Nick Robinson because of his ties to GB)

>>386187058
>this has been one of the best years for gaming in nearly a decade
Fuck no it hasn't. Last year was better than 2017 has been so far.

>>386186920
>PUBG is not even released so it cant be "GOTY"
It technically is. A video game only gets one chance at a launch. "Early access" doesn't change that. Slime Rancher was just "released" but it has been in early access and completely playable for quite some time. Its first impression was its early access launch.

>>386186108
>>386186273

I'm kinda embarrassed to admit it, but I honestly think that compared to 2016, especially the last half of it, this year has been great for giantbomb.

I can see them coming down on him super hard to distance themselves, Ben threw the guy under the bus after going to a concert with him like a week ago

>>386189392
I think it's been great. But it's certainly a new direction, and that will turn some people away. I'm rather indifferent towards Ben, and Abby is just ok, but it's been a fun time. Vinny tries to play on Abby's improv experience WAY too much, though. It's getting annoying.
Drew leaving was a blow, but they've recovered fine in my eyes. Could always be better, of course.

>>386188873
i meant E3 in general, it was a complete shitstorm
in addition to the press conferences being trash, to gb's coverage being trash, to gb's night shows being trash, there was also all the twitter drama

I only just recently started watching his stuff with Griffin McElroy and it was all pretty good. RIP any chance of them ever doing anything again ever.

Reading that neogaf thread makes my skin crawl. I can't believe so many people are willing to throw him under a bus, his friends included, without a single inkling of proof. Just a bunch of vague nonsense. And apparently it's not the "victim's" job to prove it, you just have to believe, what the everloving fuck.

>>386194286

He slid in the DMs of some female devs and basically fucked his whole image up with some sort of scummy behavior. I don't think anyone knows any specifics, aside from the women he probably harassed in some way.

>>386194286
Some dev claimed that he harassed a bunch of women who work in the games industry. Then women starting posting corroborating it but they never actually said he did it or even what he said to them.

If you haven't yet, you should watch Car Boys before Polygon decides to remove any video featuring Nick and pretend he never existed.

>>386194480
it sounds like bullshit, especially if >>386181762 is to be believed
no one would want nudes from these women

>Look at the replies to Griffin's tweet
>Someone calls the "victims" SURVIVORS
>Nick Robinson is a murderer

>>386195058
Even if it is true, the response to it is as if he raped and murdered a woman. Imagine being in a world where finding out a friend was bugging someone for nudes on twitter makes you feel "devastated" or "so hurt and betrayed." What are these people on?

This sounds like the same exact shit that's been happening for years. It's kindof funny how one of Polygon's editors is getting the shaft now since they've been at the forefront of the whole thing, but fucked up that it's Nick getting it. I like those Robinson boys.

My money's on news coming out that he had an opportunity to suck some """dev"""'s dick at an event and didn't.

Is Ben officially a bust hire? He's knowledgeable of games and all but he's pretty unfunny and his personality is too similar to others on staff. Seems like the GB West problems will continue.

Even when they launch a new show it's not exciting. For example, who wants to watch Ben and Brad play Kingdom Hearts?

>>386194370
>I can't believe so many people are willing to throw him under a bus, his friends included, without a single inkling of proof

You realize that what very likely happened was something like
>friend texts Nick to ask about it
>Nick says yeah I did some shitty things
>then friend posts about it

If anything, the fact that his friends are reacting in this way is proof enough that he did some creepy shit. Not really sure what though.

>>386196992
I think that is actually very unlikely, because if you have done something bad, the last thing you do is say "yeah I did it lol", especially when you know how touchy your friends are about this sort of thing. They don't even slightly imply they've talked to him. They just immediately go into grandstanding about how awful the allegations are.

>>386197221
>They don't even slightly imply they've talked to him.

You must be too autistic to understand how friendships work if you seriously think they haven't bothered trying to talk to him about it.

>>386196992
Is it? They're calling sexual harassment. These days in the vidya industry it's standard practice to burn any bridge between you and whoever's respect for women get called into question flat out no questions asked. You back him up or continue being their friend, you get lumped in with them along with whatever they're being accused of. It has yet to be anything but occupational suicide.

And you have to remember, these guys' relationships are professional first.

>>386197358
Then why hasn't a single one explicitly said they spoke with him? Or even implied it?

>>386197591

Because they understand that it isn't their place to explicitly or implicitly speak for anything regarding their friend's situation. If they say they have spoken with him, they risk misrepresenting whatever Nick has to say on the subject.

Like, coming out and saying "I've spoken with Nick - and let's just say..." blah blah blah something like "it's really shitty to do whatever" is not something you do as a friend. It's actually very different from simply saying "It's really shitty to do whatever and I'm going to take some time."

>>386195058
Kessler publically disowned him, Ben and the McEllroy's are doing the same but less harsh. Robinson is fucked.

>>386198031
>Like, coming out and saying "I've spoken with Nick - and let's just say..." blah blah blah something like "it's really shitty to do whatever" is not something you do as a friend

You're delusional. The better question is "how serious is it even?" rather than "how do we know this actually happened?"

>>386195654
If you ignore or downplay the people chucking him under a bus, if you're a saddo like me who follows all these people, some of the wimminz have been making passive-aggressive tweets about guys being all nicey-nicey male ally in public and then being a chad in private.
Seems to have been less general complaining about evil men and more targeted whispering about Nick.

To be a beta fuccboi for a second, the dude is a handsome guy who's got a cult of personality that appeals to young women, any guy that wouldn't use that to get laid is a fucking liar.
His problems appear to be that
A) he's an internet dude so he's been trying for hookups online
B) he's thirsty as fuck
C) he works in an industry that villfies male sexual advances

so you've got a guy repeatedly contacting women and chatting away all nice then he after a bit he hits them up for nudes and hookups, and he does it repeatedly, and the women start talking to each other.

I mean I just went full pathetic armchair psychologist but think about any guy you know who's always trying to hook up, then compare it to this dude. His dumb ass just got caught trying to get his dick wet where he should have left alone.

You've got your priorities backward. You wouldn't care about how serious something that didn't happen is. It has to have actually happened.

>>386196864
He's like a shit version of Jeff who's interests make those of Jason, Brad and to an extent Alex semi-irrelevant.
So he doesn't bring anything new other than someone who tries for humour, which to be fair was needed as the others other than Jeff tend to forget part of their job is to be entertaining.
He's an okay hire but not someone who will mix things up and add much.

One of the people who spoke up was a fe(male)

Poor Nick.

>>386198993
>You've got your priorities backward

The logic is:

You're stuck at #1 like a retard.

>>386199160
>1. Did something happen?
The answer is actually "we don't know" because there is literally no evidence anywhere.

>>386199160
this may come as a shock to you, but women in the game industry are capable of telling salacious lies

>When someone preys on you sexually or manipulates you, or misrepresents situations to gain your consent, it's hard not to blame yourself.

That's the tweet this whole shit is about. idk, I have a sister, I've dated and been friends with girls, and saying an ex weaseled his way into your pants after a falling out/rejection is pretty much par for the course. I'll take the sentiment back if it comes out he actually violated her or went full matchstick men for that booty but right now there's literally no reason to believe he did.

>did he do it or not
Doesn't matter, there's no way polygon can come back after the weekend and say "we've investigated and Nick is completely innocent check out his new video linked below", they'd be set on fire and nobody would piss on it. Guy is done.

>>386199571
did she talk about it on social media afterwards?

>>386199672
This.
Whenever these people want to character assassinate someone nobody can do anything about it because these days people only want to believe the supposed victims for some absolutely gay reason like "feelings > evidence"

>>386199672
I'll bet money on them neither confirming or denying and instead just saying after their investigation they've decided to let him go. The real question is are they going to keep the content with him on their channel, because it's some damn good content.

>>386199672
That's the sad state of things. Allegations should have proof before publicly roasting the guy. This bullshit of not revealing evidence because it makes the "victim" feel icky needs to be burned to the fucking ground.

If he's a creep, substantiate it or fuck off. His life is now ruined based on heresay.

>>386199672
This. We live in a world where a simple accusation of anything will ruin a man's life and when they're found innocent, everyone who threw him under the bus suddenly goes quiet.

There were 2 tweets I saw after it but that one was by far the most incriminating.

Moriarty's kind of a cunt but seeing him rise up and make double what Greg does without having to split it with anyone else is god damn hilarious

His whole image is being a safe prettyboy for young girls to flick the bean to.
One of the accusations (that got deleted, so) was that one of the chicks he was asking for nudes was underage and he knew it. /oneofus

what i'm saying is no one gets raped and then blabs about it to the nearest public forum

>>386200524
Forget being raped, the accusations aren't even about him having physical contact with them. Just asking them for nudes over twitter.

I wish people who blindly subscribe to that "if she said it it must have happened" train of thought would realize this, and that women are in fact capable of lying for personal gain and/or being batshit insane.

Not saying every allegation should be disregarded, just that this judge jury executioner shit is wrong.

>this judge jury executioner shit is wrong

Multiple people saying the same shit, friends of the accused accepting it as truth, and the accused themselves refusing to speak? Seems pretty obvious something happened, and anybody who thinks otherwise is literally braindead. The only real question is the severity of the offense.

who knows what actually happened, i guess. all I know is that there's a ravenous flock of cunts on twitter perpetuating their nightmare high school gossip bullshit on twitter and i'm tired of it

Does anyone else feel like they're pushing Abby incredibly hard? I understand that she's a new hire and they want to integrate her into the content, but I just...

I just don't fucking care. It seems like she has less to say about video games than the rest of the GB East staff, which is an accomplishment considering Vinny.

It's not 100% out of the question for friends to stick together and go by one or two people's bullshit.

Mob mentality is real, even over false accusations. Remember the duke lacrosse thing or the rolling stone fiasco? Then you have to add in the type of people involved who so badly want to crucify white males.

Yeah, I don't dislike her but she's supposed to produce shit so vinny can be on camera more, instead he's treating her like she's his daughter and pushing her super hard

>>386201296
Considering she went from behind the scenes to in literally everything they do yeah, they are pushing too hard.

I think it's because she's a woman and Vinny wants to put a woman front and center because video games journalists.
