@49th: Vinny breaking things is one of the best parts about Giant Bomb and, as occasional "Let's Players," is another substantial separator of the guys from the rest of the pack. So yeah, "Experiment Time with Vinny" is something I'm completely on-board with.
@afabs515: Do you mean community engagement or just something that we'll latch onto?
@c2c: When I was living in Germany, the Persona 4 Endurance Run was one of my sole forms of entertainment while I was sitting around at home (restrictive rights on YouTube and Netflix). I'd actually be really into seeing something like that again, but I think the community should get to vote on the game. If the crew injected their style into a Mass Effect run, for example, I'd watch the living *#!@*&(^ out of that.
So instead of a TNT-style, maybe they could play online with other outlets? Or even online with the other Giant Bomb offices!
@billymagnum: In agreement re: DotA. "Let's Finish ___" seems pretty cool. I'd also like to see a resurrection of TANG in some form, assuming there's any content left there. Are you thinking of Lemon Lens?
@kiemoe: Hahaha holy hell, what's up man?! Can't give any input on Unplugged because I'm not as into board games anymore, but the community around them is huge. Online Monopoly!
@thesoutherndandy: I agree. Patrick's Kinect video was incredibly well done. It reminds me a bit of the reviews they did back when it was just Jeff standing in front of the camera doing a game review but more modernized, in a way. Mixing that with some things akin to the GOTY stuff they've done in the past would be awesome.
@video_game_king: Haha definitely. Or maybe, "Fireside with Cleverbot."
@AGNOSIS: What kind of stuff did you have in mind? And yeah, I'd watch Jeff Does Japan. The collection thing is tough and I'm not sure they'd get enough donation to warrant that challenge, especially given the catalogues of some larger private collectors, preservation societies, and press outlets. I think venturing outside the offices would be sweet.
It sounds like the guys have an idea of who they want to bring on board, Patrick is reigning over Chicago, and Vinny/Alex should soon be breaking ground on GBEast. They've been talking about having ideas, but I figure we could throw some suggestions out there too, right?
So, bombers, what kind of content do you want to see from Giant Bomb?
@wemibelec90: Not trying to force the concept of acknowledgement, just attempting to expand awareness. The minute my mom tells me she's not interested, I'll stop showing her stuff about video games. Her interest might have something to do with me working in games, though. Who knows.
@mechahendrix: Yeah I guess it would be hard to do anything in that situation. I've found board games to be a good buffer, but it doesn't work for everyone.
