@bocam: @the_nubster: I think the fact that this thread exists is absolutely ridiculous and I feel the idea of complaining about less content with a site that is now understaffed due to tragic consequences is ultimately the most disrespectful thing about this.

I love Ryan as much as anyone but someone's allowed to complain about content they pay a subscription for, despite ANY circumstance. If the head honcho at VERIZON passed away and cell phone service was slow for a few days there'd be thousands of people complaining and it would be within their right. Not that that would happen, but you know what I mean.

It's not like the site went down when Ryan passed away. They still do just about as much premium features as they did before. TNT wasn't even a premium feature and the archive was always found on Twitch. Unprofessional Fridays is just as good as it has been. If you don't like that or the other stuff, though, I get it. But don't make it seem like they're not doing great and creating solid content given the circumstances.

I imagine you'd have to be pretty stupid about it in order for that to happen, like downloading a multiple movies every day or something.

Other than the obvious Persona games, Check out Gravity Rush. It's on PS+ and I'm really enjoying it, though the mechanics take a little getting used to.

I hate to be a downer but I don't know what you're talking about.

For years I never felt that this guy or his crew gave a fuck about their community, they just do their thing being funny and/or talking shit for our pleasure and they make a living from it and it's great entertainment, but they neither "steer" the community nor really interact with it, outside of the occasional game conference, and they act pretty awkwardly and briefly with their fans on those. When this "community" sends them food, drinks and expensive shit, they act like they're forced to go through them, and they barely say thank you.

I'm sorry, you just sound delusional. This has always felt like a one-way mirror type deal between this community and the site's staff, I mean he doesn't even post on his site's own forums, so I'm pretty sure he missed your heartfelt "thank you."

But I appreciate your sentiment as a fellow site user, always nice to see people say nice things.

Okay, site member who's only been here for a few months. For starters, just because the staff doesn't post on the forums doesn't mean that they don't look at it. From what I heard from friends that go to PAX, those guys are extremely friendly and approachable. Maybe you missed features like Question of the Week, where they experimented with the community to produce video content, maybe you missed the Endurance Runs where they play a whole fucking game, start to finish, for entertainment, maybe you missed TNT where they played multiplayer games with the community, maybe you missed the MMO features where they joined in on an ending MMO and interact with the community there, maybe you missed the fact that they always plug Giant Bomb communities and organizations in games, maybe you missed the days of the red phone where people can call into the office, maybe you missed the premium streams where they had members call into the show and asked questions in a chill atmosphere, maybe you missed the fact that the crew occasionally appeared on community-run podcasts, maybe you missed the 3 hour Bombcasts they do just because so many people listen to it, maybe you missed the time where they had a link to the Giant Bomb Community song on the front page for years, maybe you missed the part where the whole big wiki is dependent on the community, maybe you missed the part where they tried doing a subscription service before selling to CBS, or maybe you missed their reactions to the community's mourning of Ryan Davis and continual support of the site.

I don't know how long you've been following Giant Bomb, I just know that you're wrong.

@rowr: LCD screen instead of OLED, buttons look slightly different, 1 GB of built-in memory (original Vita had none), slightly more battery life and it's apparently lighter.
