>implying he would find traps disgusting
that's probably the only reason his sort came to Sup Forums in the first place

icky.

kill yourself, gaffagot.

now that NeoGAF is dead, Giant Bomb has to go next. let me explain:

Jeff Gerstmann was fired from Gamespot for giving a game they sponsored a bad score. Gamespot is owned by CBS Interactive (CBSi), which also owns CNET and other properties. Shelby Bonnie, a guy who got hella rich off CNET/CBSi and quit, started a new company, "Whiskey Media", which made community meta-fansites for stuff—they had a comic book site and an anime/manga site at first. Gerstmann knew Bonnie from CNET or something, as well as Dave Snider, the lead Whiskey Media dev... so after taking a break, Gerstmann joined Whiskey to start a video game news/forum/wiki to complement the rest of Whiskey's sites.

several of Gerstmann's former coworkers quit GameSpot to join Gerstmann in creating Giant Bomb. it starts off as being a community-focused website (wiki, trivia game, other community features), but eventually the staff ignores the site entirely, especially the forums and wiki. Giant Bomb took off right around the time YouTube videos of people playing video games ("Let's Plays") was getting to be a thing, but it was one of the first, most notable sites to figure out early on that talking about your personal life excessively on lengthy podcasts and videos of you playing video games gets people to think of you as a friend, instead of a random person on the Internet being paid to play and talk about video games.

pretty normal word there, buddy

I honestly can't stand gerstmann. he's the worst out of the bunch. I hate his shitty attitude and "woe is me" exhausted airs he puts on constantly. not to mention he swears constantly like a retard and says "hella". even alex is better than him.

witty post my man, keep it up!

the community of Giant Bomb is like 95% white beta males with no friends. the users instinctively treat the GB staff as surrogate friends, and listening to their three-hour weekly podcast and ingesting as much of their video content as possible makes them feel like they're hanging out with cool people that like video games, instead of listening to and watching jackasses living in San Francisco. some of them even kind of "talk down" to their audience, like Steve from Blues Clues would talk to the children watching his show, and once you know to look for it, it's the most annoying thing in the whole world.

you trust the GB staff like close friends, even though the relationship is unidirectional. thus, when they talk politics, both on and off the site, you listen and believe them, because you're a young naive moron. I'm basically the only one I know who DIDN'T listen and believe, but I have a ton of friends and acquaintances from my years in the community whose entire political worldview was shaped by these guys. and they live in San Francisco (and now NYC).

the GB staff's personalities are all incredibly fake, just false personas they use while on-mic/on-camera. they're completely different in person, and I know this from repeated experience (t. gamedev). those "video game wrestling" events they participate in at PAX are basically inside meta-humor for the lot of them, as they're taking on wrestling character-style personas on top of their fake "video game journo" personas.

If that was a virus i'll rip your throat out user.

Why send a playlist file without any audio? Unless it links to a radio or some shit.

giant bomb niggers are almost as bad as gaf. now they both will flock here.

yeah opened Sup Forums thread

>even alex is better than him.
At least Jeff can be funny sometimes despite his shitty opinions.

Honestly, only one I like anymore is Vinny. I used to like Dan a little bit too but he's just goddamn obnoxious. Giant Bomb died with Ryan.

after Dan Ryckert (I could write 1000 words on him alone) had moved from SF to NYC, they had Will Smith (not that Will Smith) on the podcast, and Will is a fucking moron and asked, "now that Dan's gone... how much of his schtick was real, and how much was a character he played?" everyone got real awkward and didn't give a good answer, and they wrapped up the show nearly immediately afterwards.

if you listen closely to their podcasts, you'll notice that they bring up their bathing, tooth-brushing, shaving, and other personal care topics, about once a year, in order to subtly encourage their presumed smelly neckbeard listeners to become better people. they hate video games and the people who play them, and they only barely tolerate their fans.

GB gets intimate and friendly with game devs, which is neat sometimes because it's cool to film/tape stuff with developers directly instead of just hearing from their PR department. however, GB doesn't know where to draw the line, and if you dig into this, you'll find tons of untoward relationships with developers and publishers.

GB heavily pushes the trans/queer agenda. they've had a couple of "ascended fanboys" become popular in the community, and end up producing content for the site and being on-camera. this leads their young straight white male fanbase into the trans shit, either wanting to be trans themselves, or becoming trans-fetishists. many such cases, I have seen many of them go from "so lonely I'll never have a gf" to "HEY EVERYBODY LOOK AT ME I'M SO TRANS AND QUEERRRRRRR >:3 >:3 >:3". they're consciously, intentionally spreading the mind-virus.

Giant Bomb has always had really shitty PAX panels, and its fans just pretend to enjoy them. (their only good PAX panel was their first one, where they made fans compete to see who could drink bowl noodle soup mixed with Rockstar energy drinks faster in order to win a StarCraft II beta key, and it's only funny because SCII was terrible.) in 2016, Giant Bomb's PAX panel featured the Cards Against Humanity team, which actively sought to get Hillary Clinton elected in a variety of ways. the lead guy donated a bunch of money to her directly, and they published several anti-Trump products such as CAH expansions and "Secret Hitler" (WONDER WHAT THAT WAS PRIMING PEOPLE FOR BELIEVING, EH). there is more to this connection if you dig, but I can't go into details here.

"blinking guy meme" was a manufactured meme to help the guy in it, Drew Scanlon, break away and do his own side project. he conveniently launched a kickstarter (I think?) for his new travelling-the-world-and-playing-video-games side project literally they day after or a few days after that meme started. they laughed about it on the podcast and claimed it was a coincidence. it wasn't.

nobody knows what these full-time-employeed adults do all day at their jobs. amateurs with webcams and nice mics in their parents' basement could crank out far more content each week than they do. when people ask what their typical work day looks like, they get defensive and refuse to give a straight answer. my guess is they take calls and meetings with publishers and developers.

they gave their 2011 Game of the Year to fucking Skyrim instead of Saints Row The Third, a.k.a. "Everything Giant Bomb Likes: The Video Game". this was the most clear-cut instance of being blatantly paid off that I can remember.

what the fuck is this?

...

I like vinny's voice. not sure what it is.

On any given day he should hit like half of those with ease.

this is disgusting. giant bomb had such potential before ryan died. rest in peace you fat glorious bastard. you were quite literally the glue holding down that shithole.

how does Giant Bomb make money? they have sponsors on the podcast now, yes, but they're not an independent podcast looking for a way to make ends meet like the most of them, they work for fucking CBSi, which pays the staff. how does GB make money for CBSi? the podcast sponsorships and website ad revenue can't amount to anywhere near what it does to pay living wages for like a dozen people living in two of the most expensive cities in the country. where does their profit come from? dig here.

GB also acts as a "farm league" or incubator for up-and-coming progressive leftist mouthpieces. when Klepek joined, it wasn't assumed that his position would be temporary; it was assumed he'd stay there forever. then he left after a couple of years, and eventually Walker replaced him. then Walker left after a couple years. both Klepek and Walker moved onto other leftist trash-blogs.

thus, GB acts, at some level, as an incubation chamber for leftist personality-driven "news":
>new guy joins
>builds his fake internet persona's character out over the course of several videos/podcasts
>has interactions with established site staff personalities to help with this
>gets fans
>people like them and not just because GB
>moves onto bigger and better things, bringing personal fanbase along with them

there's more to this if you dig. the new hires won't be around forever.

Ben Pack stabbed his friend Nick Robinson in the back to get where he is now. both were GB fangays and interns in the past. they did a podcast together for years afterwards.

>trump

goddamn it. why could've hilary have won. at least we wouldn't have 4 years of anal pain.

Patrick Klepek was memed into being some kind of up-and-coming "intrepid video game reporter" and nicknamed "Scoops" because he broke a couple of big stories. I nearly (but not quite) have evidence that this was more fo the persona-building I mentioned above, and that it was someone else, likely Gerstmann, who received the news of these breaking stories (i.e. the Infinity Ward exodus), but Klepek was allowed to break and take credit for the story to help build his persona. there is no real fucking video game journalism, let's be real, it's all fake bullshit and incestuous nonsense.

You open it as a network URL in mplayer or VLC

Will Smith said some beta ass shit last podcast fuck that dude.


Why do progressive fags like him compare orcs to "oppressed minorities?" They are more racist then the people they hate the most.

I like the anal pain more than holier than thou smugness.

are you somehow inferring that liberals aren't anally pained?

there's no winning really. oh well.

anyone who hasn't told themselves "i'm leaving forever" after seeing some horrific shit on one of these boards hasn't been here long enough

I wish they had that will smith.

Sup Forums shit about wolfenstein
where the fuck have you been?

This show comes on one of the channels in my country now and then. I don't get why this man is after Trump, the jokes and stuff aren't that funny either.

>when you stopped listening to the podcasts when klepkuk joined and haven't ever gone past that
>the good era of their podcasts on permanent repeat
It's a nice feel

Fucking neofaggots holy shit. Please leave

what is the good era to you? I want to go back and listen.

From the beginning until Patrick joined. Just keep all those on repeat and you're in for a great time

if you HATE trump then his humor is fucking hilarious.
I'm pretty indifferent towards trump so all the jokes just remind of the same shitty jokes the republicans made about obama.

Because he's jealous of his jewish former employer who was a respected political commentator for a substantial amount of time and he's desperate to escape his persona as the Weird Al Yankovic of Late Night TV.
Trump is his white whale. He's convinced he'll rise above the Colbert Report if he can take Trumps head; Socially speaking.

Jeff Gerstmann is pathetic

>implying he's anything but a mouthpiece

Klepek joined in 2011. Anything from 2008 through 2010 is golden age GB.

Shut your fucking mouth retard you obviously haven't been here long enough to know when people have posted actual viruses.

Only retards use m3u8 files for online network locations. The only thing embedded media links are good for is finding free streams for boxing fights which are now irrelevant.

>the guy you're calling a retard in a random thread at any time could potentially be Jeff
Oh shit. I wonder if I ever got him bootyblasted

>finding free streams

yep, that's right

>triggered neofaggot doesn't know about the GB links on fridays
>I'm the one that hasn't been here long enough
lol?

>95% white beta males with no friends. t

/ourguys/

youtu.be/VT3fngPoopM?t=711

This didn't happen, did it.

Jeff must've been a monster shitposter back in the day.

link?

not-so-well kept secret that most PR companies have a pretty friendly relationship with Giant Bomb, I think I even caught someone say Jeff's wife works at Microsoft (could be a shit rumor from a vtard though)

Whenever they're with PR guys they're always having the time of their lives, that mongoloid Dave Lang is a paid PR asskisser and is like the site's best friend and basically a non official member

It's hard to believe the modern staff are the same GB who did the Persona 4 endurance run once upon a time, or reviewed the stuff fans sent to the office (like a 25 pound gummi bear)

now they all sound miserable, old and tired. I used to watch all their Quick Looks and reviews because they were funny and enthusiastic. The first couple Mario Party Parties were magical.

it's hard to blame people like jeff for becoming jaded though, he tried to be a rational human being in an increasingly irrational industry

There is no link you stupid fucks, maybe because he didn't say that.

You fucking stupid niggers.

there's a lot of red bars on those videos meaning the guy who made that watched a lot of them.

I miss old GB. Cancelled my premium last year when I realized that it was over.

>OPs post was so typically Jeff sounding people really think it's a real quote

BRAD PLEASE

>read OP
>scrolling through thread
>realize its just an UPF thread
>mfw

fuck off gaf/reddit/qb spacing queer. jesus this website is going to shit fast

A

we've got like 3 danganrompa threads up right now so its the most likely

i've been here for a decade and i haven't had the moment. will it happen soon?

How are you supposed to be informed about what people are saying unless you find out for yourself? If you rely on the hearsay of a third party for all your information it's not unlikely that you're being lied to to push that party's own agenda.

>mfw gbeast is unironically leagues better than gbwest rn
>mfw gbeast crew actually make each other laugh and seem to have chemistry
>mfw even alex is somewhat tolerable in that environment
>mfw brad and jeff are beginning to realise how unfunny ben is and how poorly thought through most of his ideas are
>mfw the best part about gbwest right now is jason having ass disease and being out of the office

Whatever happened to Kingdom Heartache?

Is that lanklet Jason actually dying? Maybe gbwest will actually be a little tolerable without his raspy ass voice

wasn't doing well enough

the same thing that happened ben's other brainchild, thursdota

They literally adopted an autistic kid because of a Make A Wish Foundation payment

>mfw the best part about gbwest right now is jason having ass disease and being out of the office

Pink sock or what? His son shat on the floor, he slipped and broke his ass?


Nah, I'd say Ben dragging that ship to the bottom is the best part.

what the fuck.

I think the only thing Jeff wanted out of new person was it to not be better looking than him.

Poor nigger has to always wear a shirt now because of all the loose skin.

A little bit of advice for all you fat cunts out there:
Don't bother losing weight. You already fucked up getting that big. Losing weight just means depriving yourself and torturing yourself for the next 2 to 3 years to get a body that you will still be ashamed of.

jeff wanted two things from ben:
>be mediocre enough that he couldn't use gb as a platform to fast track his career
>remind jeff of better times because he was watching gbwest fall apart

>jeff pretends to act like a gangster
>is a pussy libshit who gets offended over everything and loves trannies

Jeff browses here? Kek

no, you gullible cunt

I thought this was fake, but if you do a little research you'll find out it's real

benstandingnexttothings.tumblr.com

>jeff and brad have accounts on resetara

They all browse here looking for the next big thing to be outraged about.

holy fuck

I mean HOLY FUCK

>lives in a 98% white city

As much as I don't like Abby and Alex, the bombcast is so fucking stiff it hurts. I can't remember the last time there was genuine banter.

For you.

>I just can't find a reason to su-PORT what's going on there. It's just I dunno it's GROSS in a way that I just can't support.
I'm tired of Jeff ending everything with a long pause and "I don't know." He does it all the time during the podcasts.
