I can't give specifics as to what I think they should/need to do, cause I have no idea how to run a successful website, let alone how to cultivate a community, but I can articulate what I want from Giant Bomb, as that's always been pretty simple: A core team of editors and producers that have great chemistry and are engaging and entertaining on camera. What doesn't do it for me is a constantly rotating roster of contractors putting out video essays or podcasts. I don't know these people (besides some of the gamespot folks, but if I wanted gamespot, I'd visit gamespot) nor do I really care what they think of a Weezer album, or the Super Mario Bros. movie.

It's not even an issue of not having enough gaming related content, I'm well served by the entire internet in that regard. I've never had an issue in the past with GB going off on long ass non-gaming related tangents, because I liked the staff, and wanted to hear them talk about their passions and follow their interests. Also it usually made for some really funny anecdotes.

The GB of yore is long gone, no question. Nothing lasts forever, and GB had a great run up until now, and while I'm not at all satisfied with the site outside of the Bombcast, which I think is the best its been in a couple years, I think the site is going through some painful changes and look at the current output more as a stopgap until they have a clearer vision for the site in place.

The Legacy of Kain series was predicated upon choosing the "naughty" ending in the original Blood Omen.

Cora is the most useful party member for me in battle, so I guess Liam would have to go. Honestly though, I'd have no compunction for sending any of these characters do their death, and in Peebee's case, I'd relish it. Every single one of these squadmates I find to be extremely dull, if not aggravating, I guess I can say that Vetra is simply boring, not too annoying.

Drack is okay, I guess. Mostly due to the fact that he's a Krogan, and Krogan are awesome. Not a patch on Wrex though.

Never would I have expected to be so cold on a Mass Effect game.

Old-Fashioned for me, usually with Canadian Club, Knob Creek or Makers if I'm feeling fancy. Gin & Tonic for something a bit more refreshing. Single malt Scotch when I don't want to bother with mixing anything.

I'm not a big fan of beer, but I do love watching my craft beer snob friends get so angry watching me enjoy a Michelob Ultra.

I'm in a similar boat, I have very little patience for Souls games, but I can't deny the appeal of them. From watching the Quick Look, Nioh seems far more up my alley in terms of gameplay and "feel" than Souls/Bloodborne, not to mention all that loot getting me all hot and bothered.

I started Bloodborne over again this weekend to better understand what it is I find so unappealing about these games, and it comes down to not liking how stiff and clunky the combat feels. It feels like it is far too focused on animation priority above anything else. Also, the camera and framerate are both booty. I'm fine with dying over and over, until I hone my skills and start to see real progression. What I'm not fine with is dying to an enemy I've beat over and over by getting tripped up by the camera, or a hitchy framerate making me think there's an input delay.

Nioh seems to have that Team Ninja smoothness that made Ninja Gaiden such a joy to play, even as that game handed me my ass. That, along with a setting that appeals to me far more than anything in Dark Souls or Bloodborne, makes me think this game could finally open me up to what all the fuss is about with this type of game.

As someone who hates Dark Souls/Bloodborne due to the way the combat and character control feels and their obtuse mechanics, but loves Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2 and loot games, these reviews are actually getting me interested in Nioh. Does the gameplay have the fluidity of a Ninja Gaiden, with the difficulty of Dark Souls, or is this just Team Ninja making their own Souls' game, a la Lords of the Fallen?

Malibu - Anderson .Paak

3/5 for me. Very well-acted and crafted movie. I probably would have given it a 4/5 if I hadn't read the book and was able to not compare the two.

The last movie I actually saw in a theater was Warcraft, which I'd give a 2/5 and that's being generous as I enjoy WoW and saw the movie with some guildies

Got to go with the Ayatollah of Rock N' Rolla' Roadhog on this one.
