Giant Bomb #24 | In the beginning...

I don't remember hearing that. I remember Jeff criticizing Luckey on Mixlr but not hearing anything about it on the Bombcast. On the Beastcast I remember Vinny and Bakalar handwaving it away.

You are misremembering, Jeff was spot on re: Palmer Luckey. Not sure Vinny and Bakalar have input into his Twitter rants.

They went into it on the bombcast, and did a good job, imo.
 
Giant Bombcast 453: Big Beautiful Baked Potato
The NX is now the Switch, and it's also nearly all anyone can talk about, but we also manage to hit Titanfall 2, the Red Dead 2 trailer, video game (car) engines, the trials of PC-building, Zelda dubs, the ugly truth about Mario's age, and the last word on pizza crust.

The CS:GO thing was sort of a weird topic for them to cover because none of them give a shit about that game or community. So it was sort of like "yeah, this seems really shady and Valve should fix this, but we also didn't care enough to look at the details"

I'm two hours into last Friday's UPF. Is the next Friday really just Jeff, Dan and Jason failing to POST a computer? Should I turn this off?
 
Most pizza crust sucks. Thin crust is the best and only crust worth eating. I remember when I liked pizza crust. Those were the fat days. I think back to stuffed crust nights as a kid and gag from disgust.

Great crust is what makes a good pizza great. Bad crust can't entirely ruin an otherwise good pizza the same way bad cheese or sauce can, but the crust is the highlight of every great pizza I've had.

Thick crust is just a natural selection tool, as it'll weed out those who like that abomination through carb poisoning.

A good pizza only needs pineapple.

I preorder games I know I want that I know I won't have money for when they come out. Like, when I had some extra money over the summer, I pre-ordered Dishonored 2 because I can't always depend on having enough money for a game when it's out.

Dishonored 2 is a pretty safe bet anyhow. Sequel to the game of the generation.
 
What the fuck

They just gave that RDR2 commercial on TV. That seems, at least, three years too early.


o i am laffin

Yup. It premiered on TV on Sunday Night. I saw it on Fox during their lineup, apparently it was also shown on NBC during Sunday Night Football and AMC during the Walking Dead (I fast forwarded through the commercials, so I didn't notice it). If Westworld was on a non-premium network, it surely would have had it too.
 
Going through the last few pages were a joy reading the beginnings if you will, of how everyone got into GB. For me I mostly used Cheatcc and Gamespot as a way to find and use cheats, I wasn't that good in English so it was hard to get into anything else but what I needed. However, the more I became better at English because of school, video games and reading articles/reviews on GS, the more I became interested in checking out the other facets of Gamespot and that's when I got into the duders which is by the end of 2004.

Been following them ever since but then stopped for a year when Ryan passed away as he's my favorite and it's weird feeling like that about a guy I've only seen through a screen but that's how entertaining, honest and full of joy he was. I've always been a silent fan but after his passing and reflecting on how much I enjoyed his work, I was saddened that I never got to be in touch with him in anyway, shape or form. So, I returned to GB and was welcomed with new wonderful faces of Dan, Jason & Austin with the intent of being more in touch with the duders & whichever community I'm in.

For those that are interested, here's the Hotspot episode when Jeff was fired.

Anybody remember the first GB video they ever saw?

For me, it was the Dragon Age: Origins Quick Look. Shortly after that I fell into the Star Trek Online streams, and being new to the site and the flavor of humor, I was 100% sure Jeff and Ryan hated each other.

For me it's this.


Nicee, time to listen. I miss watching live but such is life when you have shit to do.

I'm getting my boyfriend into Giant Bomb.
