The Giant Bomb Thread

[Swiket]

Someone recently suggested making a dedicated GB thread, and with megathreads for Rooster Teeth and Cinemassacre popping up here, then why not?

[quote]From top to bottom, Giant Bomb is a collection of dudes who freakin' love video games. Our editorial team has collectively played and written about video games professionally for over 30 years, and they're not looking to quit anytime soon. I mean, what else could they do at this point, really?[/quote]
This thread is for everything Giant Bomb related: Quick Looks, premium content, live shows, and of course, the Giant Bombcast.

[quote]The site regularly posts Quick Looks, videos showing unedited gameplay footage of a single game, featuring commentary from staff members playing the game, or simply watching another play. The feature has been used to profile highly anticipated games, give mention to lesser-known games, or to intentionally showcase bad games for humorous purposes.[/quote]

[b]Thursday Night Throwdown[/b]

Thursday Night Throwdown is Giant Bomb's weekly multiplayer live show, where the staff plays multiplayer session for users of the site to watch and join in. All users can watch live, but archives of TNTs are only available to premium members.

[b]Unprofessional Fridays[/b]

Unprofessional Fridays is their weekly premium live show, where the staff brings in a random assortment of games to play.

[b]Giant Bombcast[/b]

[quote]The Giant Bomb staff discuss the latest video game news and new releases, taste-test questionable beverages, and get wildly off-topic in this weekly podcast.[/quote]

It's a website! About video games!

I fucking love Giant Bomb. I remember some years ago I watched a good portion of their Persona 4 playthrough and now I've gotten past where I stopped watching.

brad read one of my posts on the freedom stream when they were playing csgo.

Best videogame website

Fight me on it

[Fish Poke]

If you want to watching the funnier bits of Quick Looks but in smaller chunks, I recommend the Best of Quick Looks series done by fans.

Finally someone made a GB thread, GB is awesome. Been a subscriber for about year now, haven't regretted it once.
Also unprofessional fridays are the best.

[RainbowStalin]

I'm seriously considering subbing to these guys because everything they do is gold.

The quick looks with Jeff and Ryan in particular are always brilliant.

I subbed nearly a year ago and haven't regretted it. They put together a few hours of really great premium content a week, plus you get all the great additional site features and no ads. Definitely recommended.

Also, here are some of my favourite GB moments:

I can't believe it.

[Zillamatic]

fucking hell he just got married

[simkas]

Wow that's fucking awful, man. And it was totally unexpected too, what happened?

[Swiket]

Holy fuck that's terrible. I can't imagine how they'll address this on I Love Mondays or the podcast, if they even do those this week. The offices will feel so empty now.

[Broguts]

Holy shit no. God dammit I was just getting back into the show and then he dies? Fuck man. He's shaking that baby in the great beyond now.

[Tucan Sam]

This must be a heavy loss for the team of Giant Bomb

[macotaco]

I am shocked and honestly lost for words. He was such a great guy even if i didn't know him personally.

[S T]

Wow.. I hope Jeff is okay through all this, I knew him and Ryan were very close friends. It's going to be hard imagining Giant Bomb without Ryan. R.I.P. Ryan Davis, you will be missed dearly.

[Zillamatic]

Yeah him and Jeff were best mates, you could see it on the videos and podcasts. Ryan felt like the central hub for giantbomb, and whiskey media back in its day, and he was a great host. Definitely a legend of the industry.

Dave's thoughts:

[ProfessorAssHat]

Aw man, this was just so sudden. And just well after he got married, too. RIP, Ryan. :(

[Broguts]

I can't even toast him because of my ulcer. This is fucking awful.

[Christof P]

Oh my god I don't even believe it, I just saw the tweets of it in my feed.
He only just got married too, fuck.

[Ibexaz]

Holy shit. That's...wow.

I've heard this guys voice pretty much every day. Either through the bombcast, or throwing on a quick look in the background at work. He was the reason I even started visiting the site in the first place, simply by saying that the live action dragon ball movie was going to "suck terribly." He was a funny fuckin' dude, and it's honestly really hard to take this news.

I hope they have a donation pool set up for his wife or something. This is absolutely awful.

edit:

In memory.

I'm kind of sick to my stomach right now, I really am.

Crying like a lil' bitch right now. R.I.P to the rap games white grimace.

[MisterSjeiks]

I really like the TANG; This Aint No Game, too bad they stopped making that
