Jan Ochoa is the best hire since Drew.  :preach

He's currently the one I relate most to in terms of interests etc

I've been relistening to Game of the Year talk to clear up the backlog and in prep for Game of the Year 2019. Mr. Drippy was robbed in 2013 for Best New Character.

Made to day 3 of Giant Bomb GOTY 2018. I don't think this format of talking about games before actual categories really worked.

Alex on the Beastcast:

“Someone told Hideo Kojima about Dan Ryckert not understanding these games have politics in them, and he is now treating his audience like they are the dumbest motherfuckers alive.”

With them offering a month long free trial and premium sales every other week, I don’t think the site is doing super well right now.

Nah they’ve been really pushing that shit all year. Giant Bomb is looking pretty dire right now, their growth is pretty bad and I don’t see them pulling in much more of an audience with these shitty new hires from the last couple of years effectively acting as dead weight. Nobody on staff has been relevant for years and let’s plays for boomers is a pretty niche genre. Oh yeah also they’re really lazy and bad at their jobs.

jan is the best staff member on the site not named jeff and he's new :maf (dan doesn't count since he's leaving)

also i don't mind the podcast format change but the solo videos in lieu of the group stuff is a real bummer. would honestly take a couple less pods to get more group videos. however jeff spending 2.5 hours talking about wwe faces was pretty good.

Dan’s not really leaving right? I had to stop listening to the goty podcasts. I’m guessing that you’re joking about how Dan has been clearly trying to have a fallback plan for awhile.

Yeah, they said something about this on a Beastcast. They used to go over to California for two weeks in prior years, which was nuts to me. Now it's just one, which obviously leaves less time to do group stuff.

Speaking seriously, if they really only had a week in SF to do the GOTY talk, I don't know how you can spend 3 days speaking about the release schedule and cut even further down on the categories. IMO, cutting categories for worst game, most disappointing, or Please Stop for 3 days of what is basically a large bombcast isn't what I'm looking for in GOTY talk.

The segment where everyone collectively complains about Three Houses being too easy despite Ben having selected Easy as his difficulty and no one selecting Hard made me want to cancel my premium sub.

No permadeath is not the solution to making the game more difficult that would be the difficulty option called “Hard”. Permadeath is a grognard option for grognards.

GB is going to die a slow death and it’s entirely self inflicted.

The new hires were terrible. they act like they couldn’t give less of a fuck(production values took a serious dive) and they just lost their best content producer.

GB fans and wrestling fans share a lot in common. Both love nothing more than to constantly consume content they supposedly can't stand while proclaiming how awful it is and how the company that makes it will be out of business any day now.

I let my premium sub lapse and 99% of the new content I enjoyed was due to Dan, so I sure as hell won‘t renew my sub.. :trumps

I also never said that I can‘t stand the content, I just notice the writing on the wall that the site is in a downward spiral. I like most of the duders ( Rorie   :-* ) but I don‘t see them being able to replace Dan‘s enthusiasm and ability to come up wih fun ideas.

Also I should add that Dan leaving is actually a big loss, since he produced like every feature they've had for the past few years. But the similarity between the two fanbases always complaining and still coming back to something they supposedly hate makes me laugh.

I've been whining about it for years and canceled like 2 years ago. I picked up the beastcast again about a year ago because I had a long commute and would occasionally (rarely) listen to bombcast if beastcast was short. People that don't complain about shit quality are annoying to me but I understand because I was invested in that same parasocial relationship. But shaddup nacho there's nowhere else to complain about GB without being banned or having comments deleted so fuuuuuuuuuckkkkk offfffffffffff.

Anyway RIP GB. It was a good run.

Dan leaving is big, and the time it takes to actually hire and put in place a new person, it's going to be felt more than most leavings. (Things just ran when Patrick Klepek or Austin Walker left).

i just don't watch things i don't want to watch and that leads to me not feeling the need to complain because i actually like what i'm watching.

complain and moan all you want, i don't want to stop you. but maybe you don't hate it as much as you think if you keep coming back. or you just hate yourself, but that's nothing that GB videos can fix.
