One of my personal favorites from Giant Bomb. It's only on their site, and I figured it's best to preserve it on KZfaq, before the inevitable happens.
This and just about everything else is luckily up on archive.org, but it can be a pain to search for specific videos. Hoping to upload a few of my other favorites to keep their quality and legacy on a platform that's a bit easier to navigate.

I miss these dudes together. Yes, they do have their own shows, but it just isn't the same.

Its true, each of the GB crew has their own vibe i enjoy, but nothing beat the chemistry of them bouncing off each other. And in-person was the secret sauce.

@Behardy24 7 ай бұрын

Old giant bomb content is honestly the best content on the internet. Going back and watching their old stuff is the best.

@bobbydyne 5 ай бұрын

I miss when shows had actual people on a set instead of it being a zoom call. The dynamic is way better in person.

Unfortunately I don't think this style of game video will be captured ever again now that everyone uses Parsec and zoom.

It WAS so much better, but at the same time it's almost impossible to imagine it happening now. No company would set an operation like Giant Bomb up in a large office in the center of San Francisco or New York and a pay a whole staff to commute in every day to play video games. This sort of content can be produced from people's bedrooms (and that's basically what Giant Bomb became). It inevitably won't be as good and you'll miss out on all the awesome in-person interactions we got back in the day, but it'll also cost a fraction of a fraction as much to produce. It's honestly wild to look back at CBS bankrolling this stuff. Jeff capitalized on a perfect moment in time between gaming going fully mainstream in the Wii era and the average person's live streaming abilities becoming "good enough" to make a setup like this obsolete. I feel privileged to have been there to experience it. We probably won't see the like of (this, real) Giant Bomb ever again.

Thanks for saving this! When Jeff G was gone I resubbed for 1 month just to download this and all the Game Tapes/Demo Derby/Mario Party vids, this was the golden era for me. I'm glad others can enjoy this one now regardless of whatever happens to GB.

Hey, I’ll say the same as others, I miss this site, I’ll watch Jeff do his solo Show thing and the Nextlander crew do their thing but it is not the same. Also I get my Drew fix from Shift+F1 because I’m a big racing. But I miss when they were all together, Jeff is a great solo streamer but I miss him interacting with others. That’s all.

"...before the inevitable happens" OK so real talk, I've been wondering about that myself lately. Just how long until the plug is finally pulled? And I hate saying that because Giant Bomb brought me years of entertainment! For a while it was easily one of my go-to places on the internet. Also, Inca People will never not be a classic.

@InternetSlumlord 7 ай бұрын

It's hard to say really. There's people who are obviously still interested in current GB, but I'm not sure if that's enough for a company to keep it going.

@RandomShinigami7 7 ай бұрын

@@InternetSlumlord Oh I didn't mean for this to be an attack on the current crew. They're fine, I don't have a problem with them. To me Giant Bomb just doesn't feel anywhere near the same as it did back then. It doesn't have that same sense of comradery that it used to have. Giant Bomb, back in 2009 - 2020, genuinely felt like friends who just happened to work together. Giant Bomb now, while perfectly fine, just feels like every other video game centered KZfaq show. So if they're not doing anything interesting, if they're just doing the same song and dance as everyone else is, eventually people are going to look elsewhere. Those numbers are going to drop, and once they do, 3 guesses as to what will happen.

If GB does shut down, those who are still there will just fan out and do their own streaming stuff, unless they want to pivot to something else. Just like those who have already left. Thankfully, it's so inexpensive to create video content about gaming now.

@TheKazzerscout Ай бұрын

@@RandomShinigami7 The numbers have already dropped a huge amount. Before 2020 you'd regularly see 1000+ people in the GB chat for UPF, that's with no cross streaming to Twitch or KZfaq as it was premium only. Now they do cross stream and often get less than 200 on the GB site.
