Holy shit, complaining about indie games getting some exposure? Hahahahahahahaha <3 this thread

[cr_blah_blah]

I wish I felt the same, for me it clashes too much with everyone else's style. It all clicked when someone asked him at the end of the PAX panel about making the site more indie. I wish I could unhear it. I knew overshadowing was the wrong word when I was writing it, I just couldn't think of the right one.

I think he fills a nice niche. Ryan and Jeff basically have the same tastes, Drew and Dave are great for PC games, Vinny can play and like anything, and Patrick seems to enjoy covering smaller titles. I do agree that it is a bit of a clash of styles, but I appreciate his open requests and willingness to try new things that would have surely been dismissed in the past before he got there.

I will say I much prefer him over Alex!

More like Patrick's multi-colored rainbow selection of hipster shit for the weekend.

LOL!

[funkystudent]

No Vinny and lots of Patrick makes Gaf a mean forum.




Also since Jeff hasn't written a last of us preview like most sites and the trailer hasnt been uploaded on the site and since they didnt even bother watching the videos for the new god of war and PlayStation All Stars I am starting to wonder if Sony finally cut them off?


That would be awesome but if it did happen I am sure we would have gotten a hate filled tweet from Ryan about it by now.

Maybe they are just being lazy.

I guess we will find out if they attend the sony e3 show.

Think Jeff said he was on vacation this week, in his last Jar Time

[Dany M]

Nope, he is off doing the E3 awards thing. He tweeted about Last of Us

Got to watch a quick demo of The Last of Us yesterday that looks outstanding. Definitely one of the coolest things I've seen in awhile.

He just arrived back in San Fran within the last few hours.

Also, why would Sony cut them off?

ah he did see it.

Cool. I guess we will hear more on the bombcast.

Well they dont exactly put there best foot forward when they are covering ps3 / vita be it due to technical reasons (component cables, how do they work?) or just due to a lack of fucks to give. (there God of War / PS all Stars coverage)

Then again they haven't exactly done anything to grab any negative attention for sony so no loss.

I was thinking that since they have been oddly quite on the PS front recently that maybe something happened.... I guess they got a review copy of starhawk so everything is ok.

[Dany M]

Isn't it all embargoed until E3 or they are not even able to write about it?

I remember one time where after Jeff went to judge the E3 awards, he could only talk about epic mickey and the cancelled Pirates game.

[obonicus]

Also, why would Sony cut them off?

Well, how can you expect Sony to keep showing them stuff when they display such obvious anti-Sony bias?

[Lijik]

I call bullshit on those tweets, Giant bomb NEVER is positive on Sony stuff, they only like Call of Duty games on the 360!
I read it all the time in GAF threads, so it must be true!!

Jeff went out and purchased it on his own if I recall.

But yeah, they give credit where it's due with Sony from what I seen. Most of them loved Journey.

I think their preference for 360 multiplayer games is more because of Live, achievements and availability honestly.

I hope they talk about The Last Gaurdian missing from E3 news on the next Bombcast. It'll be hilarious I'm sure.

[Antiwhippy]

Didn't they say it's alot easier for them to capture 360 footage as well? As well as publishers giving them review copies of the 360 version most of the time.

[Dany M]

Almost noone shows up when they do multiplayer games on the ps3.

[funkystudent]

Didn't they say it's alot easier for them to capture 360 footage as well? As well as publishers giving them review copies of the 360 version most of the time.

Yeah... But that argument kind of goes out the window when your talking about ps3 exclusive games or even watching a video of those games on youtube.

It was just the way they didnt seem to bother covering God of war and All stars that seemed a bit weird, no one went to the preview event in LA and they didnt even bother to watch any videos of the games before trying to pass judgment on them as if something was actively trying to stop them from covering those games in any kind of professorial manner.

I am sure Jeff we talk about TLOU on the bombcast as well as any other games he isnt NDA'ed for.

[hamchan]

Giant Bomb was much funnier back in the day.

[funkystudent]

Giant Bomb was much funnier back in the day.

I blame the move to the second office for that.

Back in the old old basement they where just by themselves and didnt to class up the join for those Comic Vine and Tested people.

They did some mighty fine work in that old shitty basement.

Serious talk, didn't you say you'd stop posting in these threads, funkystudent?

At least Totobeni had the chops to actually go through with his promise.

I don't post a whole lot in this thread but I always thought your shtick was sarcasm. Guess I was wrong. Keep fighting the good fight.

Those basements videos are the best. I remember one night before a stream of I think matrix they played a lady gaga song on repeat for like an hour.

The execs at Sony are upset that PS3 exclusives are rarely picked for TNT, of course.

I love Vinny behind the camera: "Spit on it."

Reading this, I wasn't sure of what the context was going to be, to make it funny.

Then I watched it.

:O

[Felix Lighter]

I went back and started watching TNT from the point when they went back to ACT I. Things got much better.

[Zel3]

Giantbomb at its best. The chances of them doing something like this again in their new office are so low. :(

Naughty Dog should make a game based on Gaf's Giant Bomb threads with you as the antihero. They could call it The Worst of Us.

[funkystudent]

Naughty Dog should make a game about you. They could call it The Worst of Us.

I would buy that but didnt someone already make a game about being a asshole on a internet forum? I forget the name of it... I could have sworn it was on the bombcast a few months or even years ago though.


Well random change of subject. Any updates about how the site redesign is going.

I was looking through some old videos and I noticed they havent updated the video categories in years. They still have a TANG category for god sake.

Right now the categories are

Reviews, Features, Trailers, Events, Endurance Run, TANG, Quick Looks, Subscriber.

I guess if I was in charge and I wanted to

Quick looks, Interviews, Events, Endurance Run, Mail Bags, I love Mondays, Subscriber, and Random Office Videos.

Agree? Disagree? Dont give a fuck because you are already using youtube exclusively because the new player sucks?

Then this threads for you! And if you like complaining on people complaining about people NOT complaining go to the bombcast threads!

[Zaph]

Hey guys, how about we drop the bickering over nonsense just for today and instead wish Dave and his fiance the best on their wedding day?

So, raise one up for the original Duder!

[Ghost]

The McPixel Demo (patrick wrote about it in worth reading) is a hilarious way to spend ten minutes, the real ending got me good.

http://www.mcpixel.net/

[shadyspace]

Fuck, I wish they found a way to stream it.

[Megasoum]

Fuck, I wish they found a way to stream it.

Dave said he wanted to stream it live and I think they even did some tests earlier this week so who knows...

But then again it's Ryan who will officiate it so I'm not sure I want to watch that.

[Curufinwe]

I'm sure I would not want to watch that.

[Hot Coldman]

I really wouldn't want to watch Dave's wedding, that seems too personal. Wish him the best though!

[cuevas, PhD.]

Yeah it does but congrats to him!

[Typographenia]

If streaming it meant seeing them all in suits, I'm glad it didn't work out. It would just be too surreal.

Plus, you know, the whole idea of watching a wedding streaming. That too.


Congrats to Dave!

I'm sure Ryan is still wearing shorts lol

Dave got hitched?

Congrats to Mr and Mrs Duder!
