Damn, I joined GB the first day it launched and followed arrow pointing down before...I knew this era had to end eventually but I never wanted it to. Thank you so much guys for all the incredible content.
No. Especially no to the things OP seems to want out of the website. Don't we already know way too much about these strangers? I would like to see something along the lines of I Love Mondays return, however. Seeing a 5-15 minute video that looks like someone just pulled out their cellphone and started recording was pretty great back in the day and I'd like to see that happening again - but beyond that, no, I'm more than satisfied with the amount of content that Giant Bomb puts out. I could never consume it all.
Once a month live chat "hangout" with the crew. Get to actually talk to them about games in a casual and intimate setting - more than a call-in style show
I can't speak for the Giant Bomb crew - obviously - but people should remember that the members of Giant Bomb don't know you personally. Asking them for a feature where they sit down and have a "casual and intimate" chat with you, in the same manner that you might have with someone you've known for years, is really really really really REALLY CREEPY. In context, it's something I can understand - many of us spend hours every week hearing their voices express their thoughts and opinions. Subconsciously, we can start to think of them as someone we know. But don't forget that they're on the other end of a (mostly)one-way wire.
I imagine if they add another tier, it will be a 4K option for the videos (which just needs an extra tier to pay for the increased bandwidth costs).
This would be the only idea I would support. Not that I would subscribe to that tier, but that would be an understandable and acceptable necessity for the site. Otherwise, while all of these other ideas are interesting, they should only be implemented in the current system.
I really do miss "I Love Mondays", though.
I also agree here - if they want another tier for people who want 4K videos, that would be cool with me. Mostly because I'd probably continue to pay solely for 1080p videos, partly because I don't even own a 1440p monitor and partly because I'm fine with internet content delivered at 1080p.
@willza92: you bring up a valid point! if money is tight second hand models are a great way to go and there are less expensive paints that perform fairly well too!
I've painted all my life, I too find it therapeutic! Mostly Games Workshop miniatures myself. If you don't have paints or brushes any more their getting started set is good quality.
For painting guides look no further than youtube! Tons of quality stuff if you google.
If you are looking to improve your technique you can post pics of your painted minis on the warhammer sub reddit and folks will give tips, they are all friendly and supportive.
Of course you don't have to go down the Games Workshop path, some folks find them a bit pricey, but I think the quality of the models is worth the cost. Let me know what you decide! I love seeing what other people paint up.
