And nowadays anyone at any of these big review channels like IGN and GameSpot will be fired for an honest review of any game that they've been paid to talk about.
Kind of sucks how Jeff and crew became absolutely s o y over the past decade.
I used to watch their stuff until patrick klepeck came on, the epitome of onions boy cuck israelite. Brad is a homosexual too. buncha weirdos after the fat one died.
Patrick was the only one willing to give "weird Japanese shit" like Etrian Odyssey or Fire Emblem a shot in Quick Looks, even though he was moronic about them, so I respect him for that.
Obviously they played P4 but that's kind of different
This never happened, you're just parroting tard opinions you read here.
It feels like it's hard for people to remain relatively neutral without either going full onions or committing to being overtly counter culture. I can't think of many people who've able or hide their power level (whatever way they lean) and just talk about games.
I feel like just about every game journalist still resents being in that field, especially the older ones. So, they feel the need to get up on a soapbox every now and then to make it seem like they're not just some old frick who likes video games.
>I feel like just about every game journalist still resents being in that field
Of course they do, they thought that becoming journalists meant they'd be writing on global politics and doing interviews with world leaders, not writing about toys for nerds. But even greater than their resentment for their work, is the one they feel towards themselves.
Solid theory, my dude. I believe you might be right.
when you remain neutral, you allow the true weirdo lefty crowd to basically come in and take advantage of your "everyone is cool, everyone gets a chance, let's all just get along" attitude. they push and push and push their own ideologies until you get to the point where you finally go "okay listen back it up" and the moment you do you're a massive villain.
you can tell jeff toed this line for nearly a decade before finally deciding to hop off the giant bomb bus and just reset. i feel for him, i really do.
That's a lot of words just to say "I'm a racist prick".
how exactly is he racist?
Anyone even slightly out of line with California sensibilities is seen as racist.
most people who live in california are mexican
Ok, white Californian sensibilities.
so, mixed race sensibilities
Nah, you developed some kind of mild schizophrenia due to being weak willed and a barrage of Russian agitprop. What a reprogrammable little b***h, lol.
Lmao what about gamestrailers then easyallies? Lmal
I've been enjoying putting him on in the background playing NES games lately. I still like him a little bit. Mostly when he talks about really old shit.
That was always when he was at his best.
>2023
>Giant Bomb still "exists"
It's pretty fricking bad, too.
Supposedly they hired on person that people actually like, because he's the only reason I ever hear anything positive about the site's shambling corpse these days. It's been very depressing watching Giant Bomb slowly fall apart over the years when they were so ahead of the curve when they first started.
This board used to have regular unprofessional Friday threads, for God's sake. How bizarre to think about.
I enjoyed his (one?) Starfield stream, because it was basically exactly what I expected from him. Level-headed criticism while everyone else was avoiding all the elephants in the room with that game.
one*, not on, just to be clear that it is one, singular person
>This board used to have regular unprofessional Friday threads, for God's sake.
Fun times, especially when Rorie and Mary were on getting drunk as frick.
>making fun of Rory for frying his brain on bath tub gin
>making fun of Brad for getting so fat because he was extremely depressed
>white power Brad
>watching Mary try to flirt with Drew, while arguing how gay Drew was (extremely)
>watching the weird sexual tension between Drew and Alexis
>Vinny before he became a SJW cuck
>Vinny shocking his balls for charity
>the brief renaissance when Dan was hired and revitalized the site
>that time Nolan North told Klepek to shut the frick up
>the Bombcast actually being the most popular video game podcast in the world when it first started, and being funny as frick every single week
All these parasocial memories, lost, like tears in the rain
I really, really miss old Vinny. As much as I liked Jeff and Ryan, he was the truly dark one of the group.
>Vinny before he became a SJW cuck
grim, how bad is he?
He's just a toothless old man trying to be hip with the kids by talking about toxic masculinity, etc. It was mostly just sad.
what even happened to rorie these days?
probably going on a long boring endless rant about some random bullshit only he cares about while everyone else is trying to get him to shut up and move on without explicitly saying it.
for me, it was Vinny and Dave doing old PC games
>Vinny, Dave and Drew playing hardcore simulation games
God I fricking hate Kane and Lynch. Why couldn't the devs have gone through with Freedom Fighters 2?
>Freedom Fighters
Such a masterpiece... forgotten. Shameful.
How did one man mindbreak one of the biggest gaming news sites so hard?
>leaves to create own website
>sells it back to the people who fired him
>works for them again
>fired again
punished jeff
I thought he left of his own accord.
Nothing about either of the big firings (Giant Bomb East and Brad, and then Jeff at West) felt right, people speculate that there was some stipulation in the buyout that fricked some people over
Kind of weird how it would affect the founding members most of all. I get the feeling he new management wanted to move on from them in a bad way.
I desperately want to know all of the behind the scenes gossip about this.
I remember seeing the clip of Nextlander learning the news of Jeff leaving GB. Like someone died.
Then, how no one can ever bring up his name whatsoever, but they'll still bring up Ryan and others all the time.
Ive never really watched all that much GB content, is the early stuff good?
Been watching some golden era 2014-2016 UPFs through the internet archive and it's pretty good stuff, Dan and Jeff are the best.
I've considered doing this, but I think I'd want to kill myself when I realized just how little my life has actually changed since the days of watching UPF with Ganker. At best, I'll go waaay back and listen to some classic Bombcasts. I actually recommend it, because they've become great time capsules of a bygone time in gaming.
It's funny because now he's very clearly just shilling for companies his friends work at.
Late-era GOTYs were bleak.
>dream daddy
WE KNOW
Remember when she said you had to look up 2B's skirt in order to beat the game during their GOTY shit?
qrd?
A woman opened her mouth. Also she at one point actually told Dan to check his privilege.
This shit made me miss Brad holding GOTY hostage until he got his way with Skyrim
I remember that they spend a whole bunch of money on a hideos new "professional" looking studio desk setup to replace the old couches and then rona hit and they all ran like roaches back to their holes and have yet to emerge.
i just realized how much i miss danposting
HAHAHA THROW THE SNAKE DREW
>DREW DREW DREW DREW
God I even managed to make it through the Abby and Lurch era but I had long stopped listening by the time it "ended" for good. Hell I don't think I was even listening regularly when Dan left to go to his wresting podcast or whatever.
He's been back for some time now.
Did Twilight Princess deserve an 8.8?
both it and k&l deserved their scores, and i like both games
There has only been one honest game review in the history of games.
>Mary is turning into cottage cheese
It's not fair bros...
I still would, but yeah, she's a far cry from what she used to be.
why couldn't she have started an OF
Works for twitch now.
>Mary is turning into cottage cheese
proofs
She's so fricking annoying.
I like listening to Mike shitting on her and giving her death threats.
I keep forgetting that Fire Escape exists.
Gaming journalism is access journalism. You can't give honest reviews to games or your company will lose access. Why do you think every AAA videogame gets a 8, 9, or 10 every single time? If a game gets a 7, by modern review standards, it may as well be a fricking 2.
>check on site because I haven't looked at it in years
>on this day in giant bomb history
>vinny playing demon's souls
I remember watching this when it was new and it got me interested in the game. I've played every Souls game since.
>video is from 2009
That was half my life ago. Where did the time go?
>Perhaps I want the old days back again and they'll never come back, and I am haunted by the memory of them and of the world falling about my ears.
Best quicklook coming through
It's either
>you wanna watch this guy do it? let's watch a pro
or
>turn the video quality back up TURN THE VIDEO QUALITY BACK UP
It was Late-era but I always liked My Summer Car. It reminded me of the good old days.
Why are all these 30 year old men lamenting the death of GB? Even if Ryan was still alive and they weren't Californian brain rot zombies I would have stopped watching them naturally. Nobody is entertaining enough to watch for that long, especially if they don't change in interesting ways.
It all went downhill after Drew left. The window when Dan and him were there was awesome.
They hired Ben who always talked about their "partner"... boy do I regret looking that one up.
Started having troonys on stream and go ultra-sensitive with the chat
Way too much SF onions
Abby was annoying as frick
Letting Rory near a mic was a mistake
New York was a mistake and splintered everything.
They made a corporate set and then it was all for nothing.
It was best when it was a bunch of dudes hanging out on a couch and Mary tried to get her eggs fertilized before it weas too late (its too late now)
>They hired Ben who always talked about their "partner"... boy do I regret looking that one up.
Fat chick, boy or manmade horror beyond my comprehension?
non binary weirdo that probably steals luggage
Drew leaving was when I stopped watching entirely. I visited the site for the first time in years a few months ago as I was looking for the Skyrim QL and man, it's barely recognizable any more. I don't know how it's still limping along.
It was revealed a while back that wasn't why he was fired. He was fired because he wasn't liked. He was obnoxious and difficult to work with. We all know that's true because we've seen what he's actually like through Giant Bomb. They were looking for an excuse to fire him. Blowing an advertising contract just happened to be the first excuse to come along.
>It was revealed a while back that wasn't why he was fired. He was fired because he wasn't liked
Source?
I just remember Gamespot's website being covered in Kane and Lynch shit all over their front page, and the review even being deleted because the publishers got upset.
>Source?
His ass.
Spot on.
>her arms
what went wrong?
Probably beer and chicken wings.
>Fractured But Whole reveal live from E3
>THE COON
The wall is merciless. I still would though. Yeah she's not a 10/10 any more like prime Mary, but I've had way worse.
would absolutely look much MUCH better with like -10kg
Consumes untold amounts of AL GUL.
Her degeneracy betrays her looks.
she always had those chubby sausage arms.
>I'd heard a few people tell that he'd already been skating on thin ice for "unprofessional reviews and review practices." I don't know much about that, though, so I can't say one way or the other. My gut tells me that he got canned for larger reasons. Maybe the Eidos debacle was part of it -- I don't know. But I sincerely doubt that Eidos made Gamespot fire him. CNET doesn't kowtow to its advertisers, and I've more than once seen the higher-ups turn away big advertising dollars for the sake of the company's integrity.I think the whole thing is likely a combination of factors, the biggest being poor timing.
literally who
Sounds like bullshit to me. If any of that were true it would have game up during the buyout.
Yeah so unlikable that all the talent that worked with him at GameSpot left to make GB and his co-host from GS would remain in contact and guest constantly at GB. What other revelations did your find up your ass?
Think of the company he kept. He was close friends with people like Phil Fish and Zoe Quinn. You have to be a massive douchebag to be good friends of people like that.
>Phil fish
Kek he's still mad some nerd said japanese games are shit over 10 years ago. Why are weebs the thinnest skinned b***hes on the planet.
>he's still mad some nerd said japanese games are shit
That's the one and only thing that man has said I've ever liked though.
It's the only thing of note he's ever said in his life, the rest of his posts are less obnoxious than 95% of Ganker posters, I don't know how you can be here and still give enough of a shit about him to even remember he exists.
t. Jess
what is the endgame for these games "journalists"
people like jeff or brad have no actual skills, their writing is awful, and they are manchildren incapable of being professional.
jeff has patreon paypigs for now, but what happens in 3 years
his videos get no views
>drunk Mary will never force herself upon you
jfdimsa
>come roll Horde with me anon
I miss the Halo marathons
>that hour or two DEEP into the Halo marathon where there's no one around and Drew and Alexis trying to stay awake
God, that was so comfy, it's so weird to have nostalgia for this dumbass gaming videocast.
reminds me to download all the stuff I'd ever watch again before they pull it.
I'm so sad the google doc is gone, I should've saved some greatest hits.
I get the feeling that all of the current GB contributors still wear the mask.
i love gb's eyeroll reaction to ff7r reveal in 2015
would. a million times would
Is she like 50yo or something?
Are you like 12yo or something? What's wrong with your stupid ass?
not him but come on, she looks old
She doesn't look 50, dude.
She's 38.
Oof she looks at least 7 years older than that if I'm being kind.
>Austin Walker jumps ship to do Vice Waypoint
>Jeff later makes a comment about not wanting a new hire who only wants to use GB as a short term stepping stone.
ay yo where the Kish spammer @
Here with this Brutal Mogging.
Never saw the appeal of Abby.
how did she get hired?
cbs wanted diversity so we got her and austin
boyish good looks but has a vagine
She's a younger version of Vinnys wife.
It was a more gradual process and she only needs to lose some weight. I COULD fix her.
>Kish is one of those women whose weight goes everywhere but their breasts
Sad
People think she's funny because she looks like Weird Al, but she isn't. That said, watching her play scary VR games with Vinny messing with her and hearing her scream at literally everything was some abstract kind of boner.
Are you disappointed that she hit the wall at mach speed?
Kane and Lynch is kino game and this gay is a homosexual
>Kane and Lynch is kino game
Great story. Great characters. Fricking awful gameplay.
it was terrible gameplay-wise
it's both kino and a 6/10 tbh
Is it true that Drews mother died in a fire and part of his house burnt down and he tried and failed to spend money fixing it and his gf left him or did some mean non-fren make all that up to upset me?
>Drew
>gf
Fiction.
>Jeff streaming NES games
Comfy
Why is Jeff half good and half moronic. It just must be that he's a California native, he's too indoctrinated.
I swear even earlier this year he was making statements like "still being careful because of COVID, it STILL exists you know" does this guy not remember when there were still giant fricking concerts and riots happening at the same time as peak COVID without bodies dropping in the streets?
>does this guy not remember when there were still giant fricking concerts and riots happening at the same time as peak COVID without bodies dropping in the streets?
They conveniently forget about that.
