My god, yes.

This is what I want.

(Also, I love Brad simply for goty podcasts and his enjoyment of jRPGs.)

 

[LiQuid!]

Brad enjoys JRPGS?

"Wait, Happy Hour is for everyone today. Not just members! Enjoy gang?"

Woo, come one come all GAF.

Nice. I hope they've made massive changes to the format.

Brad enjoys JRPGS?

According to the FFXIII-2 QL, he played and mostly enjoyed FFXIII. Which would lead me to believe he's enjoyed better titles in the genre.

 

[SmithnCo]

Didn't know they were bringing Happy Hour back soon, will have to check that out.

 

[MiniBossBattle]

I would give anything for a Soul Calibur 5 Scrub League or Warlords Round Robin Tournament.

In my years of following Giant Bomb those are literally the only 2 JRPGs I've ever remembered him even mentioning playing, which is why I asked...

well, Brad did mention that he hasn't really played much since FFX, iirc.

He apparently used to be a fan of the genre in the past. I'm sure he mentioned it in the past.

I could be wrong! I might be mis-remembering things.

I just

really want to like Brad and I'm looking for more reasons.

 

[LiQuid!]

Ok, so he possibly liked JRPGs back in the day. That to me isn't the same as being a fan of JRPGs the way most JRPG fans are fans of JRPGs. The only time I ever see actual JRPG footage on GB (aside from Brad's review of FF13 and this latest QL of 13-2) was when they were shoveling them off on Kessler.

 

[Azar]

Nice. I hope they've made massive changes to the format.

It's going to be MAGIC.

 

[Lonestar]

I want to find the various E3 Vidcasts. There's some Gold in dem dere hills.

 

[LiK]

It's going to be MAGIC.

they gonna make you taste drinks?

Love him for his tenacity.

 

[BaroqueSampson]

Done.

 

[LiQuid!]

Also "dulcet tones" and "endearing badness at videogames" are popular Bradisms.

He's Brad, that's all the reason you need.

i envy brad's sideburns

Happy Hour Tease!

Remember folks, tonight is free for everyone.

Brad just seems straightforward and a fairly personable person. He seems likable enough?

 

[BaroqueSampson]

Brad's Bombwiki article is wonderful

 

[Mahonay]

Happy Hour Tease!

Well it looks like Tested is not changing their Happy Hour formula.

 

[JonCha]

Is a Happy Hour basically just messing around on a game for an hour?

 

[JPBrowncoat]

Excited for Rhythm Heaven and Happy Hour!

If only

Shots shots shots shots shots shots shots everybody!!!

first time?

 

[Mahonay]

It's basically a variety show. They do a series of fairly random segments.

 

[JonCha]

first time?

Yeah, never seen one before. Usually at ridiculous hours in the morning for me to even stay awake.

 

[LiK]

hohoho, you're in for a treat.

They archive every show. I'm not sure how it works for non-subscribers though, whether or not those are available to you after they air.

 

[Riposte]

He apparently used to be a fan of the genre in the past. I'm sure he mentioned it in the past.

Back when JRPGs were mainstream I imagine. That would fit with the Giant Bomb style

I'm a subscriber (don't really know why with 720p videos, though) but only watch Quick Looks and Jeff's jar feature really. Sometimes I don't find their video content that interesting on the video side. Perhaps it's a cultural thing, I dunno.

 

[Svafnir]

God I love GiantBomb and the bombcast, easily my favorite video game website.

Pretty much like all the video content they put out, just recently subscribed and been catching up on backlog of videos. I wish the chrono trigger endurance run was longer, it gave me many laughs ;.;

 

[theinfinityissue]

Oh, is tonight a free show? Hell, I wasn't even aware that they'd stopped happy hours. This is perfect if it is free, because getting drunk and watching one of these shindigs is exactly how I'd like to spend the first part of my friday night.

It's pretty much dumb white people heaven.

I can't get enough of all the different dumb shit they do for video features. I can absolutely see why someone would not be into though.

Beginning to hate the Giant Bomb chat, some keep on saying brad is leaving etc...

It's true, hohoho

Turning chat of as soon as you open the stream page is a requirement to be able to enjoy it.

 

[obonicus]

They mean Brad Muir. And he's leaving to Giantbomb. Clearly.

 

[giant_frying_pan]

Brad will indeed, one day, leave Giant Bomb. This is true.

Just like everyone who contributes towards keeping that crappy running 'joke' alive, will one day, die

 

[Chuck]

Ryan hosted.

I'm already disappointed.

 

[EmCeeGramr]

that joke has been going on for like nearly a year now

 

[shadyspace]

lol fuck, sounds like no Comic Vine. On blast.

 

[vitaminwateryum]

DIORAMA-RAMA

OH YEAH

...oh jesus Dave is wearing a fedora.

 

[A Pretty Panda]

Oh man this sounds great already haha.

 

[joeyjoejoeshabadoo]

Diorama-RAMA!!!

 

[Khezu]

Oh shit, I was really hoping they would follow through on the diorama nonsense. Fantastic.

 

[Mahonay]

I've blown up in a couple threads over at Giant Bomb over some the excruciatingly dumb running jokes, like "Brad is leaving" or "Jeff hates video games".

I've quickly learned that is a losing fight though. Giant Bomb has a large segment of the community that's very young, this shit just comes with the territory.

 

[derFeef]

wait it's on? not showing anything for me.
