Hate towards the other Whiskey Media sites.

I noticed this a lot during the chat for The BLLSL and even in some in the discussions about the subscription service. I mean I understand if you only care about giantbomb and don't visit the other sites because they don't interest you, but seeing comments like "Fuck Comic Vine" and "No one cares about these other people" and "Giantbomb needs to distance themselves from these hangers on" really makes me mad. 
 
Why the hate guys? Can't we all just get along? I'm hoping that these comments are just a vocal minority and that most of the Giantbomb community is better then this.

Dude, just ignore those idiots, if you ignore them, they will actually go away

I agree. All of the sites are awesome.  
 
Will, Norm, Babs, Rorie, and Alex are all my buds. (Not actually, I don't know them, but you know what I mean.)

Maybe if you don't hate springs so much that wouldn't happen.

people are jerks, 
But there is a reason here, GB is the only one of the whiskey sites I care about,  
Tested is ok but the other sites hold NO interest for me,  
Yet my subscription fee is being given to all of these sites even though I have no desire to giving anything to a site I don't use

Yup, that was one of the many annoying/pathetic things about Giant Bombs chat.

Ignore the chat.

Because a lot of people on the internet like to be tools and don't like to think.

Screened and Tested (along with GB, of course) all have links at the top of my browser.  I enjoy their content.
 
The other two I have no real opinion on.  Neither comics nor anime are my thing...

I'm going to be looking around at Screened and Tested over the next few days. No interest in comics and even less for anime though.

I find it stupid too. 
 
I wonder if the other sites are having the same conversation.

All the other sites are great. All the losers of the Giant Bomb community come with any sign of controversy.

People detest change, when they moved to the warehouse or w/e it is they are working in. They started focusing alot on whiskey media as a whole instead of giant bomb for some inexplicable reason. I just find it an awful lot to assume that every single viewer is going to be interested in every single whiskey media site.

The only problem I had at all with the BLLSL was that Comic Vine was dragging it down.  It would be REALLY entertaining and funny, but then they'd cut to the Comic Vine guys and it was obvious that they didn't put too much thought into what to do for the show.  Most people don't have anything against the actual website or the staff  It was just that they did not bring it today, and that reflects poorly on their portion of Whiskey Media.  I mean, really...the reading comics thing?  There's no defending that (even if you're one of the dipshits that wouldn't shut the fuck up about how hot you think Sara is).

 Thing vs. Hawkeye was pretty hilarious.

Had to leave the GB chat and watch it on the Screened stream. When did GB Community become  /b/?

I feel so left out. I had to work.
 
Any chance that is was/will be archived?

I love Norm and Will but I don't really care about PC stuff....  I love Super Heroes but don't read comics at all...  I like a few movies but I'm not a big fan but any measure...  I hate anime. 
 
All in all I will check out Tested and ComicVine...  I don't really need a new expensive hobby, but comics could be interesting maybe..

I just checked the other websites and none of them are acting nearly as bitchy.

As to the chat being bad it just has to do with the size of the userbase.
 
The larger the userbase is, the more bad apples there are. Bad apples attract other bad apples and repel good apples. Good apples have no effect on bad apples and are less likely to attract other good apples than the bad apples are to repel good apples. It's the way of the internet. Not that I advocate the site but one can see the same principle working out on 4chan. /b/ is absolutely rotten, but some of the small boards can be helpful in their own "field".

Eh, I stayed on the Screened chat. The less people there are, the less I am distracted from the actual stream by bitchy internet people. The Screened chat was chill.

I don't hate other sites, however I do feel a bit indifferent about tested.com, there is a strong pro mac sentimentality there I don't agree with. However yes everyone uses a mac there, however the majority of the ppl in the world use windows. I am more interested in stories about pc gaming and less about how it's mac and stuff.  
 
Comic vine, i'm an artist, I can just draw super heros and post there no problem at least. Anime vice, I don't know, I don't watch as much anime as I used to, just use a anime female avatar and you'll fit right in. For screened.com, I never really visted it.

haters always be hating.

I love most of the Whiskey sites. The only Whiskey website that I'm not a member of is Anime Vice, just because I'm not into it. I don't consider myself a tech and comic book kind of guy, but I have started to get into them recently. Tested and Comic Vine are just fueling my fandom. They don't have the same level of personality as Giant Bomb, but they are still enjoyable websites.

I'm not about to start spewing hate comments in the chat, but I'd be lying if I didn't say I'd rather just have more Giant Bomb. It's the only site of the group that covers material that I'm really at all interested in. And while the other site's crews are definitely some cool people, they just don't have that sense of humor that keeps me coming to GB.

The thing is that it's usually the minority that you hear or see the most. We may have seen a lot of comments about insulting the other whiskey media sites, there were how many people watching the stream and in the chat room? Which comments stick out to you more the comments insulting the other sites or the comments actually talking about whats happening. 
 
To be completely honest, I don't really go to the other sites but I really had no problem with the content they were bringing. Except for that last segment comic vine did, that seriously was hard to watch it wasn't the fault of the comic vine crew though more along the lines of the people that weren't part of the site.

Same thing was being said in the other sites' chats, so calm down.  The feelings are mutual.

Comic Vine was garbage. They had at least a month (probably more) to come up with something entertaining, and they did TRIVIA. The lowest of low. That's what you do when you are a 2nd grade teacher. They were pathetic. A WHOLE MONTH. And the best idea they can come up with is FUCKING TRIVIA.

Not really a big fan of the other sites, but I Love all the people affiliated with Whiskey Media. And thats enough to spread the love ^-^

Stop the hate. Make the love.

The Tested chat room was pretty rad.

Funny, I did the same and had a grand 'ol time. At least now with the medals its easier to spot the trolls. It's a visible representation of who actually cares about the site. "

I don't know anything about the other sites, though I listen to the Tested podcast. Also, I don't know anything about comic books or anime and feel that there's no way I could catch up to the point that anything would mean anything to me jumping into things that are 20,000 issues or episodes into a story.
 
That said, it was really nice to be introduced to the seemingly great people from the other sites in the "family". I felt awful that people in the chat were being such cunts when people from Comic Vine or other places were on the show. They all seemed cool and even if I don't make regular use of their sites, I'll visit now and then and definitely appreciate that they drop in on Giant Bomb videos now and again.
 
Probably the only negative was that Sara chick. She sort of takes your mind off of EVERYTHING when she's on camera, the same way that it's hard to watch anything with Scarlet Johansen in it, because you spend the whole time pre-occupied with how ridiculously stunning she is. Of course, we're all used to that, because that's how we have felt about Brad all these years.
 
I mean, really, we're a bunch of fucking videogame nerds. Who the fuck are we to have a chip on our shoulder and act like the other geek stuff doesn't deserve the same shake our preferred content and personalities do? I wish there was some way the better side of the community could make some meaningful gesture to the others, but I know that's probably not realistic.

" @wasteguru: look, i love screened and tested, anime vice, though not my thing, seems fine. Comic Vine is a terrible, awful site. it is seriously one of the worst comic book sites i've ever seen. the articles are poorly written and barely informed, they only cover the lamest, most mainstream crap, if it doesn't have tights and capes, it's not worth the time, and even within the confines of superhero comics, they have childish, idiotic arguements like "who would win in a fight?" it's embarassing. i feel ashamed as a comic book and whiskey media fan. Giant Bomb and Screened, the two sites i spend most of my time on, are great for thier editors, who speak from a level of professionalism and informed opinion unmatched. they are funny, likeable guys who know a ton about what they write about. Comic Vine is not even close to these standards. the site is a mess on basically every level. Tony and Sara don't seem like bad people, so it pains me to be so constantly frustrated and infuriated with the quality of work on the site they're responsible for. "

I like all the other Whiskey sites, except Anime Vice due to my not watching anime very much, if at all now, but I'm going to check out their podcast just to see if I like it.
