TotalBiscuit for me. I used to watch his TGS podcast where he talked up Giant Bomb several times, so I decided to check it out. I started with the bombcast, and was immediately hooked. After that I wound up diving into the video content and eventually decided to become a subscriber. This was back in June 2012, and I have been hooked on this site ever since.

I hate to see you go, and I wish you the best in whatever life has in store for you. I hope to see more of your content in the future, but until then, Goodbye Scoops!

I am all for keeping Jason on the podcast. He seems like a cool guy that has a different perspective on games than the rest of the crew. I don't think 5 is too many especially since it's not the first time they have gone with a 5 man podcast.

Ahh, never saw the group, so I guess that answers that question. I see your point about it being a bit redundant with reviews, and yes, it does add more clutter to an already convoluted site. However, I like the idea of leaving curation of their site to people that consumers trust instead of trying to do it themselves.

I just noticed that a couple of Youtube personalities that I follow, specifically TotalBiscuit and Northerlion, have just launched their own curated lists for Steam with online publications such as PC Gamer and Kotaku following suit. With this I have to wonder if we might see curated Steam pages from Giantbomb. I personally think it would be pretty cool if the individual members had their own pages as their tastes in games do vary, but an all-inclusive Giantbomb Steam list would be cool as well. It would be just another way to get some of the great games such as Gang Beasts and Mount Your Friends a little more exposure while also giving new members a taste of the games that Giantbomb has really liked over the years.

Of course, I can understand if they are hesitant to do this, as they will be actively promoting sales for games that they like, but as a website that provides criticism on games, I feel like promoting sales for good games is inherent to what they do. Anyways, I wanted to see what the other duders thought the idea of Giantbomb having their own Steam list(s), and also what they thought of the Steam Curation program as a whole. It is a very new feature, so if you need information about it, just visit your Steam homepage and you should find a link to the new features of Steam, which has a description of the curated pages.

Had you asked about a month ago, I might have said that it is pretty much the same, but this last month has had some of the best premium content the site has seen in quite a while. Vinny's live stuff and the Mario Party Party were more than worth the subscription, and are hopefully a taste of the greatness that awaits.

The controller looks completely crazy, but I really want to try it out. Even if this first attempt doesn't adequately bridge the gap between console and PC input, it seems like it could be a good start. If Valve is good at anything, it is iterating on an idea until it becomes something good.
