Does Brad wear the same shirt every day and I just never noticed it until now?

Just went through the thumbnails for the premium only vids for the past year. Brad is wearing that shirt (or one VERY similar) in every thumbnail.
Eh whatever, maybe he has more than one of the same shirt.

I approve of the Sean Coonce worship.


No one was playing Unbounded (well, one person was) and the GB crew was discussing how Namco released this without telling anyone. sent to die etc

I hope the lack of interest was just because it's such a recent release. Bugbear deserves better.

Something I was just thinking about: Now that Vinny will probably be out a lot of the time for the foreseeable future, it might be a while until we see another Random PC Game (plus... they have to get a PC).

So who else would complement Dave on those things until Vinny gets back to normality? Drew? Brad?

Mike Horn. Did he go with the Tested crew or with the Giant Bomb crew?

Don't worry. Patrick will do it.

I hope they get another tricaster and don't just keep using the in-house stuff at CBSi. The tricaster and its cheesy effects like the animated fire and the dancing guy are a big part of Giant Bomb's charm.
 
Well it's Suppose to be a community thing. I usually just have it up on a different tab and treat it as a podcast.

The community thing was the original pitch, sure, but after Cards Against Humanity, Dead Island and Fortune Street, I don't understand how anyone wants to see them playing anything against the community ever again.

Yep, playing against voiceless people online offers nothing, may as well play with bots for all it offers this sort of video.

Playing with the community is fine, it just has the be the right game. Adversarial multiplayer is almost always boring, but stuff like the Banjo Kazooie episode was fucking awesome.

I think it would be better if they just didn't broadcast TNT, and actually had all of the guys playing and talking with the community that they are playing with. It's kind of silly that their "playing with the community" thing is just one of them playing with in a server while completely cutting themselves off from the people they are playing with. Like if they were playing TF2, just set up a few servers and have all of them play.

Playing in the GB/Tested TF2 server with Will, Gary, and Norm for a few hours was more fun than playing in the server during TNT.

From the sounds of some of the recent videos and stuff, they're actively shying away from shooters as well. May be that they've gotten the sense that they've overdone it on that front.

Giant Bomb members aren't quite the typical Xbox Live idiots, but that would not be a good idea. Especially for shooter TNTs.

Brad should really go ahead and start ME3. It'd be fun to hear them all talk about the game on the bombcast considering the outrage. At least while the topic is current.

Unfortunately Jeff's Formspring seems to indicate what I thought: The idea of doing an ME3 spoilercast has been all but ruled out at this point.
