I don't know if it's real, man. Maybe I should look on the site. I'll tell you in about five minutes if you can wait that long.

Sorry, I'll redouble my efforts in trying to memorize every single article Patrick has written for Giantbomb. fuck I'm so stupid

Go to giantbomb.com.
See that the picture for the fake article posted is the same as Patrick's Worth Reading for the week, which should be on the front page.

If you pay a tiny bit of attention, though, it should be obvious. That's an article on the GB front page. Among the links featured below is the Fez QL, which came out this week.

My GB bookmark goes to the video page. You think I should be able to pick out a Fez screenshot based on the top third of the image?

If you weren't lazy you would have gone to the website to check for yourself, seen the Fez quicklook, noticed the similarity between the posted image and said homepage and not made a stupid 'dur, is this real' post. Best of all, you wouldn't have to be so defensive about it.

I know you guys hate when the GB guys pull the entitlement card but I saw this thread:

Aahahahahhaha

Here's the thing. As users who don't have a premium subscription, we deserve to know what is going on behind the scenes as much as the premium users. As we all know, Giant Bomb is a videogame website and about the people who run that website. At least make this available to non subscribers later. It seems that most of the premium content is more worth seeing and exceeds more in quality than the regular content these days. I understand you guys need money, but shouldn't CBSi cover most of that now? Sorry, I just really want to watch this live segment.
lol, so subscribe?
Speaking as a concerned user I want this information easily available to me (basically free)
more quality
 
oddly enough, most of the premium stuff these days is a webcam video of Jeff talking before he heads out to work.

Quality production value right there ;)

TNT is free, that vita extravaganza was free.

It's been a while since random pc and load last save...
 
If they build a new gaming PC for the site, I wouldn't mind a premium video of the process. I know it's been done a million times but I'd enjoy it.

The only thing that annoys me is making TNT recordings premium content.

Yeah I know you can watch the archives on jtv. But what if jtv stops publicly archiving videos? Would recordings on Giantbomb still be premium only? Not after the inevitable backlash/outcry. So they may as well make them free now to avoid potential problems in the future.

As long as we're complaining, I just wish their live content didn't use pos Adobe Flash.
Agreed 100%. That Twitch player is a massive CPU hog on this machine for some reason. That Gamespot live player during the Jeff/John livestream last month was maybe not great from a design standpoint, but it ran smooth as butter by comparison.
 
I always find odd that Jeff gets questions about love and life in the Jar videos, but then he gives out some good answers. Kinda funny- come for the Quick Looks, stay for the relationship advice!

I have little doubt it would still be premium even if the JTV archives disappeared.
 
Looks like Trick is playing the witcher 2, hopefully him and vinny talk about it this week.

I didn't even think about the Xbox 360 release resparking Witcher talk. Nice. That was a franchise you could tell Vinny really really got excited about but there was no one else to have a real discussion with during the Bombcast. Hopefully, he goes back to the game for the Extended Edition patch.
