The ABSOLUTE STATE of Giant Bomb

The ABSOLUTE STATE of Giant Bomb

What happened?

who knew having antifa supporters in your staff would create drama.

How will Jeff ever recover?

Did he finally eat Brad?

what happened?

Where's the fucking content. It's Wednesday and you've done one fucking pubg video and your mandatory podcast.

Ben and Abby killed the site.

I like ben but I'm with you on Abby. Not only did Abby ruin it she took Vinny down with her.

SJW leeches slowly sucked the life out of giant bomb
it was a slow process
but now finally the work that Patrick and Alex started is now complete.
Giant Bomb is going the way of the escapist and game trailers.
rest in piss

...

>She took Vinny down with her
What did he mean by this? Vinny is still great

Also
>I like Ben

Ryan died and it killed the site.

How fuckin hard is it

It shouldn't take so much effort that you have a content drought

I liked Abby at first but now I can't stand her

They're settling into the new office space, still.

Vinny spending like 30 mins to apologize to everyone that pewpewpie said nigger? Still great?

That's Brad's job.

Watch as they don't produce anything for the rest of the week, not even a casual ass play date.

Vinny and that Thot dannika have enabled her too much. She's realized she has no knowledge, opinions or ideas about videogames. So she pushes the nu-feminism gamer agenda, poorly I might add. She has no clue what she's talking about.

Will he apologize for Ryan calling someone a faggot years ago too?

and has the audacity to complain that she "knows what she's talking about" also her saying white men are the problem in the games industry to a room full of white men that are her co-workers cracked me up. All but dan bobbed their heads in agreement.

Anyone know of a decent gaming site now?

I'm impressed that Jeff is still convincing CBS to continue to pay them. Seem like a scam since 2013, these guys literally do NOTHING all day and all they have to do is play video games.

what should i be mad about now?

i only a month ago realized they became sjw because of some posts on here..
i stopped watching after the persona4 endurance run.. i am glad lol

Easy Soylies are just as bad, who is /ourguy/ now?

Man, used to check the site everyday for new shit. Now i barely check it once/twice a week, already turned my auto re-new sub off. There content is just poorly done let's plays now with sanitized versions of their previous selves.

Ben and Abby are just not funny. I had hope for Abby initially.

>All but dan bobbed their heads in agreement.
I'm surprised he hasn't been canned for wrong think yet.

they're profitable with solid income because of their subscriptions, not phony valuations and shaky ad revenue. literally the point of the site

I can only hope they will bleed subs until it becomes unprofitable but good luck with that indoctrinated fan base.

How many subscribers do they have?? Whenever I see their videos on Youtube they're lucky to break 5000 views. Which isn't a great amount of viewers considering its a full staff.

I sent a Tweet to Abby that said, "Hey I don't know if you realize but you sigh a lot on the podcast before cutting people off. May just be a bad habit to keep track of, hard to notice when you're the one talking"

She blocked me

lmao. shouldve just called her an ugly cunt.

>tfw when permabanned from their forums

I would've expected to get blocked then

Apparantly "Block out the Haters" for this dumb cunt means "Completely silence anyone who wants to critique me in any way or disagrees with me"

I looked at abbys twitter once, does she have a fart fetish or something?

>criticizing a woman in 2017

i hate to use the term sjw but you cant criticize sjws. you shouldve known le epic queef womyn would block you.

>Apparantly "Block out the Haters" for this dumb cunt means "Completely silence anyone who wants to critique me in any way or disagrees with me"


This your first day on twitter?

July 2008 - April 2010 GB was the peak, too bad it turned out this way.

>hire ben
>cant do content by himself
>not even good in group content

what was jeff thinking desu

>what was jeff thinking desu

he's afraid of getting burned by a hire using them as a springboard to a better spot, so he hires dead end talents rather than improving his business to where his company is the one people leave other spots for

>this boring loser won't ever abandon me like everyone else

He's a pussy because Austin used them then losed them. So instead of hiring a person suited for podcasting, videos, and content ideas he hired a guy with a face for radio, voice for silent films and the personality that makes redditers cringe.

Abby was 1000% a nepotistic diversity hire and Vinny is too nice/wants to fuck her(she is literally and I mean literally a young looking version of his wife.)

Didn't Jeff get married? DID HE MARRY RYAN'S WIFE!?

if he is wrongthinking its because he is doing a character, look up andy kaufman you uneducated rural hick. us city and suburban folk all get it and voted for hilary.

I really fucking hope abby leaves

Vinny is too good and pure for that. Get those terrible thoughts out of your mind.

>young looking version of his wife

jews are not pokemon, vinny

i can go on about ben, dude literally brings nothing to the site. i honestly think among any of the resume's jeff looked at, ANY other choice wouldve been better.

she clearly wants the V tho

I can honestly see her leaving in a year at most. She has nothing in common with any of them and is constantly off doing shit for polygon and waypoint. She is lezzing about with Dannika 24/7.

didn't think that one through

>She is lezzing about with Dannika 24/7
imagine rubbing their pusys together!

Ben CAN be funny; he just got infected. I heard this joke come out of Ben's mouth:

"Yeah I think Kevin Lavine is really brave, just like Tarantino; when he said "I absolutely have to put vigors in my game""

That's a solid joke, his podbuglars shit was all gold. Just that Nick shit happened and now he clipped his balls of so he doesn't lose his job or his PARRRRTNEEEER.

ALL TIME BEST GB LINE UP
>Jeff
>Ryan
>Vinny
>Brad
>Drew

seconded

I really feel like Vinny hired her because she was a woman, appeared to be funny or at least okay at the level of silly improv needed for the podcast, had the required video producing skills and he had a good rapport with her. Okay, but it's becoming increasingly clear she's not interested or capable of discussing games critically. not that the standards are that high at gb. talking about dropping the "post-game" in odyssey, the actual meat of the game unless you go ocd on the kingdoms the first time through. its indicative of this sense you get from them sometimes that they just want to get the games out of the way.

Replace Drew with Dan and we've got a deal

Abby is hot, mmm

So back to the OP. Did something actually happen or is it just the daily GB thread.

Lmao, have you seen her on any streams or videos? She has no idea how to produce video; even though that was her job and she was never meant to be a face.

Get Drew to freelance so he and Dan can marathon Death Stranding together for the love of god

absolutely not

I can't wait to hear what she has to say during the GOTY podcasts. I will be shocked if it's actually insightful and indepth

drew wasnt even a "gamer" and played games just for GB, i can be lenient on abby for that at least

yeah is this just a bitching thread?
Nier won't win

no, just sad watching GB becoming worse day by day

I think that the podcasts feedback will be a push for her to realize how unsuited she is for the job.

it went to garbage after ryan died
there was a brief period of hope when dan joined west coast, but he got shipped off to the east (like vinny) which is total irredeemable shit

they don't try at all
they don't make any content, they barely make any videos except for meme game garbage

i miss the good old days

yeah, but he kept himself in the background much more and covered a specific type of game

I mean I'm sure she actually enjoys games and has done so since before considering work in the industry but it just feels like things are either meh or so cool which is also fine but please, elaborate, form an argument

If they needed a chick so bad they should have ponied up the cash for Mary Kish
>Cute
>Plays video games
>Actual chemistry with the guys
>Not an annoying cunt

Does Abby actually play games? Or just walking simulators?

I hope you are right and she moves on

Ryan and Dan together would have been a treat

whats kish doing nowadays?

Yeah, she is. She's beautiful, sexy girl. Mmm

Dream Daddy!!!!

>drew
>not dave

>no one on GB played DDLC and thus it won't even get mentioned in any GOTY discussions
It's a dumb meme game, but I'm right mad.

incorrect

probably just whatever GB is playing and the little indie games she does in quick looks.

>day 5 is 6 hours
Prepare yourselves Nierfags, you’re in for a wild ride

I agree with you that she isn't doing well in her job but do you really think she will feel any kind of pressure from that? She can just happily ignore criticism and live in a bubble like the rest of humanity.

>when you complain about white men ruining thei industry and keeping qualified women out in front of a group of white men that hired you because you're a woman and then silently play with a toy car during the podcast because you don't play videogames when you work for a website that is entirely about playing videogames

About 2/3rds of them haven't touched most games that came out this year. I'd say almost all of them except Dan haven't finished more than 2 games this year. A year where good games actively came out.

yes to all of this but I actually enjoy the beastcast nowadays, not all that insightful but it's fun, they have a good back and forth, but the bombcast just feels so lifeless. I used to not miss a single one but I just can't anymore.

I wonder how many hours of that is complaining about upskirts

twitch

I mean its right up their alley too. Pretentious "deep" game that you can finish in 2 hours.

>that time he said he loved capitalism to Alex’s face

Ben is a bit awkward but usually ok. Abby is the drizzling fucking shits.

This bitch forced Dream Daddy into the top and everyone else just let her because they didn't want to upset the female I just know it.

>ben on upf
>IM PICKLE RIIIIIIICK
>PICKLE RIIIIIIIIIIIIICK

Back when Ryan was still alive, listening to the bombcast, whilst grinding for achievement points. We'll never have that level of comfy again.

Dan is a legit autist for his favorite games and I love it, playing Mario every waking second and you know it's not just to get the review done in time.

I'll take awkward and knowledgeable about games over abby any fucking day

Yet she can't stop going on about how amazing Dream Daddy is.

Honestly yeah. The more she spouts her nonsense the more the core sycophant fanbase starts to call her on it. She can only block so many tweets and considering she is already bitching about the upcoming feedback I'd say it stands a chance.
