Giant Bomb Fan Club

[Mr. Gerbik]

Any top 100 games games of all time that doesn't include Disco Elysium is null and void. And if it includes Mario Sunshine on top of that, he should be banned from ever even looking at a console ever again.

[Benny]

And when 10% of your list is Metal Gear Solid games, I mean... Sort your life out.

[James Lyon]

My sub runs out on the 27th. Checked and it won't carry over to my new card. Haven't logged in for months. I guess that's it Giant Bomb. 

[NecroMorrius]

That list is pathetic. Man played nothing but children’s games until about 2008. 

[Benny]

The distinct lack of literally anything classic PC gaming related would be like a professional film critic making a top 100 without a single Kurosawa movie on it. Embarrassing.

Every time I see this thread bumped I expect it to be a story about how they are closing the site.

 

I don't see how it continues to be a running concern.

 

It has to be done soon. I noticed a few weeks ago that Jeff G's streams were more than double the views of GB, There's no way it can keep going.

[Gambit]

My concern for the inevitable closure is what happens to all that video content. I just hope there's someone out there doing the lords work and downloading it all to multiple hard drives for future generations.

 

On the This Day in Giant Bomb video selection it was Mario Party Party 11 from 4 years ago. Such an A+ series. And the return of Drew.

I don't know what a lot of you are complaining about, most of that list would be strong contenders for my own personal top 100.

He’s got Wario Ware Inc. It’s a good list.

It's also got Sunshine on it, which nullifies Wario Ware

And Mario Party. That's a one two gut punch man

[fragglerock]

You know that Dan is not entirely serious about things at all times right?

 

or am I being played and I am breaking kayfabe (whatever that is)

[Mr. Gerbik]

We're just as serious as in the edge thread!

[Benny]

I'm always deadly serious about top 100s.

I would also say any list without Obra Dinn is also null and void. 

[Simmy]

Thought this was a parody at first haha

Why did Dan come back? Didn’t he leave to do some wrestling thing? Did that not work out?

It worked for a bit. But after he left he complained that he never got to do anything that he wanted with his podcast output. Which is hardly surprising. Vince McMahon probably doesn't know what a podcast is.

 

Now he does twitch streams and Fire Escape mostly. Despite him being a full time GB person now I'm not exactly sure what he does.

I think he returned to give ‘new Giantbomb’ credibility by being the only personality from the old days to return. But like The Rock’s  return to WWE In 2011 he came back with a lot of hype, gave the impression he was going to be a key part of the new group but is now rarely seen on the content. GB was the personalities of the original crew but now it’s just a Gamespot brand with a couple of people doing a job share with the main site and Jeff Grubb reminding me why I never bothered with Gamespot or IGN podcasts. 
 

I can’t see GB content getting wiped from the internet as long as Gamespot is around, as long as the two are linked it isn’t going to disappear like USGamer did when it shut down.

I'm not sure whoever owns it this week even knows they exist so I am sure it will be safe for a while.

I always thought their Twitch numbers were surprisingly low because they also streamed on YouTube at the same time, but realised they don't.

JG currently has nearly 600 people watching him play Pitfall II on the Atari 800.

Just to clarify, this was a week when the Bombcast and Jeff's podcasts were going head to head live on Twitch. Jeff was way ahead.

 

Jeff and the Back Page are the only two pods I can listen to really.

 

While I'm here I'll just say I can't believe how fucking abysmal IGN's podcasts have become.

Giantbomb put out a premium video on boxing day.

 

From what Reddit tells me it's 17 minutes of watching old cartoons on YouTube? Err....thanks guys!

Oh they so random so funny

[Gambit]

It's funny because it's the only premium video they've done in many months, maybe since before the Fanbyte takeover.

 

Makes me think other revenue hasn't worked out and they're going to fall back on Premium to bring in the dollars.

[ryodi]

Dan and Jeff did a Dragon Ball podcast,  All Systems Goku. I know the thread is done with the new crew buts not like the originals were above that kind of content. 

[deerokus]

I thought they'd killed off the whole premium content thing.
