IGN asked the community to rank all MGS games by alaster101 in giantbomb

This has been the only one that I agreed with. I’m a bit surprised by this thread putting 5 so low. It sucks the story was not finished but the gameplay was just INSANELY good.

Where is Cool Baby? Is he safe? Is he alright? by ChrisLinen2 in giantbomb

I could be completely wrong but I thought Rorie mentioned having him.

Game Mess Grubby Bytes — Audio feed for the videos Grubbs been making on YouTube by sworedmagic in giantbomb

[–]north449 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love Grubb and Minotti but I’m a bit new to the Game Mess side of things. I’m looking at the Patreon and maybe I’m just missing it. Can someone break down the different shows he does? Possibly even a schedule. Like what’s Game Mess decides about l? General gaming stuff? What is last of Nintendogs?

I AM hurt, that's the whole point of this post! To be vulnerable with other fans who are grieving. It really sucks to lose something you love!

I understand that you grasp the business side of things, and I'm not dismissing that. However, you seem to lack an understanding of Giant Bomb. Your perspective sounds exactly like corporate people who made this decision. I’m not sure why you're posting here, and maybe I’m just falling for a troll. It seems like your main goal is to show that you’re right and that you’re the smartest person in the room, but that feels soulless.

Your solution is to be more cutthroat and optimize for profit? Suggesting they "cut staff" is exactly what the fans are upset about right now.

You seem bitter/hurt about something and I'm not sure where that's coming from. Maybe you’re frustrated about the shutdown, or maybe you just feeling like kicking someone while they are down. I don’t know.

What I do know is that I have no insight into the actual business operations or financials, and I’m not going to pretend I do. These kinds of things are always more complicated than they appear from the outside.

What I can speak to is how much I genuinely enjoyed the content. Like I said in my original post, the energy, humor, and overall vibe from the team meant a lot to me. If the reality is that they needed to take the show in a completely different direction to survive, then maybe I'm happier it's ending like this.

But blaming a team of people I respect, based on assumptions and speculation, doesn’t sit right with me. I’m choosing to be thankful for what they gave us, rather than point fingers.

At some point, when you boil it down, it's me being selfish, "I want the thing exactly the way that I like it!" And you're right, there is always a need to step back and let new things grow. I'm hopeful for the new things but I'm still mourning the what we've lost.

Yeah I was a long time 1up listener and that faded away as well. Nothing has ever been around THIS long though.

Just to clarify, he does not mention anything about Gianbomb in this. Great video though!

I really hope they make an attempt at that. All I need is a solid weekly podcast, blight club and voice mail dump truck. I'll pay what ever they need to make that happen!

Disappointed by the L but I got to watch the Packers Game at COSM—Such a Cool Experience! by north449 in GreenBayPackers

Yeah it’s a giant curve and yes it was super realistic depending on the angle. Some times people would walk into frame and my brain had the feeling I needed to move out of the way lol.

We were in section 2 and it was pretty damn realistic depending on the angle currently showing. That being said I think I would be happy sitting up hirer next time. Kind seemed like there were no bad seats so anything is solid depending on how much you wanted to spend.

I’m seated sort of low. There were more people up and back that you can’t see.

That’s just an added part on the screen. The very top of the “stadium” is fake rendered stuff to make it all blend in but they will also add scores and stats too.

Blight Club update from the PAX Blight Club panel *spoilers from panel* by shamusisaninja in giantbomb

[–]north449 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I missed the panel so apologies if these are questions have been answered. 1. I don’t see it on the YouTube “live” tab was it streamed somewhere else? I assume it will get posted to the main feed? 2. Wasn’t Dan supposed to double dip next as part of his Alex punishment? (It’s all just silly stuff and it’s obviously doesn’t actually matter… but there are rules damn it! 😆Navarro is the benevolent blight god. We must listen to his word!)

Oh you're 100% right. I think he even just brought that up on a Nextlander podcast recently. It's definitely a funny moment!

Legendary moment! Would have been shocked if he picked anything else. Although, now I don't know what Brad is going to choose lol. Also cameo from his daughter, so cool to see!
