It's dead, right?

Metal Gear Scanlon was the last interesting piece of content they made.

yeah, it's pretty much dead, ben and abby killed it, But In All Seriousness, I Think We All Have To Agree That Dan Brought Plenty Of New Fresh Content To The Site And Without Him Giant Bomb Wouldn't Be As Fun And He's Actually Pretty Fucking Based And Hilarious When You Think About It

Its been dead since they left whiskey media. You've all been watching a zombie for years

Metal Gear Scanlon wasn't even that interesting either. Just a literal retard and a guy bad at videogames bumbling about.

The only funny guy they have left is Vinny and he is shackled by his new co-workers.

I Agree Dan Is The Best Ever Dan Is Super Fucking Hilarious Lol I'd Suck His Cock.

Elder God Tier:
Jeff

God Tier:
Vinny

Great Tier:
Ryan > Bakalar

Good Tier
Dave > Drew > Alexis

Tolerable Tier
Brad > Rorie > Abby > Jason

Fuck Off Tier
Austin > Ben > Dan > Patrick > Alex

Stop typing like that you fucking faggot

>dave that low
>Jeff that high

Jeff has shit tier opinions and taste in videogames. He's overrated as fuck. Hardcore Dave was the only actual normie with good taste

Am I the only person on planet earth who doesn't mind Ben?

>another premium sale

They're desperate. Deader than Jeff's wife.

West is beyond salvation, East gets worse over time as Abby gets more comfortable.

Christ Ben sucks though, it's like Patrick all over again except I cringe.

Shut The Fuck Up Kiddo, I Fucked Your Mom.

>Jeff being anything more than a miserable, crotchy old man that only likes old games OR retarded 'parody' shit no one would like other than ironically

>Jeff has shit tier opinions and taste in videogames
Yeah, but he's honest, informed and funny.
>Hardcore Dave was the only actual normie with good taste
I agree

Is he? How worthy is the opinion of a man that hates everything?

I like Steal My Sunshine except when Alex is playing any sort of platforming section. I liked Beast in the East all the way through. I enjoy Kingdom Heartache, although I'm not convinced it's going to last much longer if it's not already over.

Dan doesn't deserve to be that low, at least he made them do shit like MGS and Mario Party.

But In All Seriousness

>I liked Beast in the East all the way through
Why? Alex and Dan are insufferable and Dan doesn't even know how to play the damn game. You god damn masochist.

Jeff's the most talented, just he's such a depressed mope that it's rarely seen.

Ben was a terrible higher, Abby gives them something, Ben is just terrible. I think they always try to stay true to the "just friends playing video games" thing they started the site on, unfortunately all their friends are untalented nobodies like Ben now. Abby was a diversity higher and she still manages to be way better

there's no way you can crunch numbers and tell me a website that can only get 220k youtube subs and 214k twitter followers can sustain a business with offices in Downtown SF AND Manhattan. It logically makes no sense, they'd have to get like half a million year subs at least to pay for those offices, salaries and other assorted profits to keep CBS happy. Sinking ship

youtube.com/watch?v=3lLFDJ-lSqw&feature=youtu.be&t=1h26m4s

Everything wrong with Ben, distilled

>you can actually see him looking over to see if Jeff laughs

No one has been above tolerable in at least 3 years

Fuck you, Ben.

literally how the fuck is Abby tolerable again? how? stupid gamer girl attitude who doesnt even know anything makes my teeth itch

Not even Vinny?

>we dont want to be that persona site
>we dont want to be that hitman site
>but we'll gladly be that pubg site even though were so fucking terrible its rare for us to finish higher than 50 while missing every shot, making every wrong decision, choosing fights poorly, etc
>abby "why am i always the first to dieeeuuh:

She doesn't do that 99% of the time. She usually just admits that she doesn't know too much about games, much as Drew did when he was first starting. The stuff like with Bayonetta where she gets indignant about it's sexism without having seen anything but the most surface level trailers and stuff is annoying, but very rarely happens.

I know this word gets thrown around a lot nowadays, but I honestly do cringe way too much. I don't watch videos with Ben anymore out of embarrassment. His "le ironic humor" shtick is almost as bad as Dan's "le im being retarded to troll you" shit.

Dan was fun for the first year, MGScanlon 1-2 time on the channel. First time Drew seemed interesting, Jeff wasn't so depressed and Brad seemed to actively hate him. It was pretty awesome. Slowly fell apart from there though

What a joke Ben.

...

Abby "I don't get that reference because I haven't seen that movie or any movie ever" Russell

>>but we'll gladly be that pubg site even though were so fucking terrible its rare for us to finish higher than 50 while missing every shot, making every wrong decision, choosing fights poorly, etc
You understand that people don't watch them because they want to see them win, they watch them because they're entertaining, right?

>that picture
Is that supposed to surprise anyone? The entire staff has the same opinion on that stuff.

>Heels in wrestling work because it has been proven people will pay to watch someone they hate get their ass beat
>Dan fans believe his retardation is a work and people will pay to watch someone they hate...play video games

Drew didn't have awful opinions about everything.

Anybody want to speculate why Jeff is out for emergency?

He is right though.

What is the significance of that tweet? Just looks like whining.

its not only very entertaining to see the same game over and over, but even better when they drop at the school over and over, and just mesmerizingly fascinating to see them get obliterated by the first person they see EVERY TIME

the personality thing isnt as strong when half of it is alex, abby, and ben

I'm sorry, are you saying Mario Party is bad?

abby, on top of knowing nothing about games and sucking at them, is like a 13 year old girl trying to fit in but flops on repeating jokes she heard because she doesnt understand timing or delivery, she is monotone, has no emotion in her voice especially when trying to act frustrated like when dying, and overall has no personality whatsoever

He said at the start of today's Bombcast. His wife is getting a biopsy.

That's my point. Ben is a whiny bitch.

I was always on the fence about Jeff and his shilling for VR, but him outright saying "fuck inside" on last years GOTY podcasts bumped him up quite a bit in my book. Fuck this indie bullshit.

>MFW Jeff still believes in VR
The best part is that his VR streams were the best evidence of how absolute shit it was.

on what exactly? tiddies biopsies on lumps are pretty common and are almost never anything. if she's getting a tumor biopsied then she's in a world of shit

Ben is fucking autistic and making it really hard for me to watch their content anymore. I really never minded Dan, as dumb as he can be, at least he sounded normal and didn't seem to constantly be falling asleep.

So far Abby has been alright.

He just said lymph node in an armit.

sounds like a tiddy biopsy but usually the benign masses are in the actual boob. Armpit sounds ominous, honestly

Christ

Ben drinking game, drink when
>Ben says a pun or ironic joke
>Ben fucks up the camera feed
>Ben phases out, staring into nothingness
>Ben's eyes start to slowly close as if he was falling asleep
>Ben looks at Jeff for approval
>Ben mentions DOTA
>You didn't quite catch what Ben just said

Damn those comments are brutal. Probably just because it's on youtube though.

>Ben starts looking at his phone and leaves conversation

Dan can be annoying but he's hilarious when he's mad. I rewatch the quick look of drawn to death every so often.

Abby is growing on me.

Even their main site and reddit don't love Ben, there are some sycophants but his approval is pretty fucking low. He was a terrible hire and everyone knows it.

>Watching the XCOM Let's Play
>Realise that this is the ability of the average video game journo
>These people get paid to review games

>How closely Drawn to death hit to home and how absolutely butt-devastated he was to be looking in a mirror.
The closest we've had to Dan being self aware. Abby is fine but she's getting pushed too hard and Vinny humors her too much by forcing any and all conversations to include her, only a problem because she's seen, played or read absolutely nothing.

It was cute how Vinny bet his stars on Abbey even though she hasn't done anything and nobody thinks she can do anything. He threw his stars away just to try and make her feel better.

Ben is seriously the worst human being on the planet. He's like Alex & Patrick Klepek swirled up and combined into one super baby of unfun.

>Dave not in Elder God Tier

c'mon son, there will never be anyone as cool as Dave

I refuse to believe there are three comments on the entire Giant Bomb website saying something even remotely close to "Ben isn't very good". That site is an echo chamber.

Remember when?

youtube.com/watch?v=DAeIk1yIA1c

How did that song go again?

>Dan is worse at it than Abby
>He's the one who gave XCOM 3 stars

>Dan loses 2 units
>Fanbase tear him apart

>Abby loses the entire team
>"Oh look how well she did!"

I really shouldn't read the comments.

>70 pages of comments acting like Dan's garbage play gave their dogs cancer.
It was easily the most entertaining episode to watch.

>Greetings from Germany! Me and my wife are so happy that Abby is finally a part of the Beasties. The only bad part is that she didn't join sooner :)

Abby made some stupid mistakes especially near the end with that grenade, but Dan was playing poorly on purpose. There's a difference.

anyone want to just post good GB vids?

youtube.com/watch?v=LGtM901Mmk4

Hahaha, you mad bro? Sounds like someone got WORKED!

I cannot parse how the site that produced this video turned into modern GB.

They dont make enough fresh content anymore.
>Weekly good podcasts
>the exact same boring Battlegrounds videos
>Fucking dota
>Fucking xcom playthrough
>FUCKING kingdom hearts playthrough
>Fucking super mario sunshine playthrough
>Upf is too often shit because theres no one left at west and theyre still not even there half the time.
They need more neat one off videos. More quick looks, and maybe if hell freezes over some written fucking content. I actually cancelled my premium because i just haven't been watching them lately. Im sad.

It was a different time.

>watching fat white male feminists that hate you simply out of habit

I am still salty about the time Brad begged for more bombcast mails on twitter then complained about how many he got the day after then only read 2.

I mean he always said itd be good if good games were made for it. Which there arent really. He never said its great and people should buy it, he just said theres potential. Also vrodeo is top their giant bomb. Informative and entertaining.

Things were not always as they are now.

giantbomb.com/fat-princess/3030-21184/forums/feminists-unhappy-with-fat-princess-2984/

What blows my mind is that people who posted in this thread still have active subs.

Have they ever actually won a PUBG game? It's boring to watch, so I have no idea.

I love that Dan has cultivated this persona that he's merely pretending to be retarded, really covers his ass for his actual retardation.

No, and they haven't improved at all. They basically only play the game on that day and never actually try to improve. Alex still hides whenever there's a gunfight and Dan might as well be playing solo.

Oh how far we've fallen

It's another
"Jeff talks about how he backed SiN instead of Half Life"episode

That's not it.
It changed when they sold out.

>Deader than Jeff's wife
w-what

>Listening to old Bombcast clips
>Ryan casually saying he'd like to have sex with hot women
>Discussing the merits of eating dumplings from a dog's ass
>People making pedophilia jokes about Ryan when he's talking about trying to get kids to play Sesame Street
>Child bride jokes
>People able to talk about their balls without immediate clicking of tongues and, "Let's move on"
>The eShop music for Wiiware 3DSi releases

I laughed my ass off at a lot of them, which I didn't expect. It's kind of depressing how well they hold up.

Since pubg, tearing on Dan's skills is the new norm. Ironically he's probably the best shot, if he didn't panic whenever a single shot whizzes by him or completely ignore the team while looting, he'd probably be a valuable player.

youtube.com/watch?v=AkqPJwxUlWo

will always be the best thing to happen on the Bombcast

>3 minute conversation about Peter Molyneux's balls
>Vinny making casually racist jokes
>Ryan talking about Star Trek porno
>Jeff and the whole crew laughing about feminists in the game industry

>Play Bombcasts from the start as I play some vidya
>Podcast opens with them drinking some energy drink
>Ryan and Jeff talking about the shit they did in the past
>Conversation inevitably ends up off topic
>Hear their thoughts on upcoming games and new releases

It's fun but makes me sad to think about the state the site is in these days.

I still remember Carrie getting mad at the Frag Dolls.
Like, really annoyed at them.
This was pre-GB podcasts though.

>Roku app busted for 8 months
>One response from Rory to say "I think someone is fixing it tomorrow"
>replacement is somehow worse
>can't listen to east because Alex
>can't lose stern to west because Ben
>premium podcasts are dan and his idiot father talking about idiot stuff

I'd trade Ben for Austin...

All e-celebs are cancer. Quarantine board when?

You're on one.

I'd trade Austin over like half of GB's hires
Patrick: Yes
Ben: Yes
Abby: Yes
Brad: Yes
Rorie: Yes
Alex: Yes
Alexis: Without Drew Yes
Jason: Maybe
Dan: He's less obnoxious but no
Drew: No
Dave: No
Vinny: No
Ryan: No
Jeff: No

I would stop listening again if Austin still worked there. Intolerable.

...

Be 100% honest. If Abby wanted to, would you?
