Haha I just tweeted my distaste of it to the whiskeymedia account and scrolled down to see if there was a forum post about it. I'm 100% about spreading the Giantbomb love to as many people as possible, but before the site started doing any member stuff Dave and Jeff expressed their specific distaste in having any facebook material in any prominent way, which I was happy about because it's something that I find a little distasteful only because how many sites put such an emphasis on that sort of thing.
My point is simply this, I think its great to have facebook connectivity to spread the word but I just wouldn't like it to be featured on the front page; but if Dave or the other guys produce some numbers showing that it greatly increases the number of GB "likes" or site traffic as a result, I would be in full support of it.
This being the one and only site that I actually pay money for, I care about it and like to voice my opinions and am always in favor of getting GB and the whiskey media family of sites out there.
EDIT: Yikes, excuse all the repetition and grammatical errors. It's been a very long day.
Hey Jeff, thats great news. To answer your question, I think having a daily news podcast would be incredible. I might not be in the majority here, but between going to work and college I don't have much time to scour blogs for up to date news like I used to and therefore just miss a bunch of important stuff or just end up falling behind.
I do however have a large amount of commuting time, and a podcast with news would fit perfectly into my schedule. Anyway, just my two cents and congrats to Klepek once again.
Since it is cut-off I can see where the humorous angle were to come in, and I acknowledge your point about the OP.
Apologies for coming on a little rough, not a big fan of the guys that put the emblems in their avatars to fool other people, but for the lulz I can understand.
" you seem like the type of guy who would complain about someone calling you dogshit, when right before he did that, you called him a faggot, while also doing significantly worse than him. I don't know though, I'm just judging from your behavior and typing. "
And you seem like the kind of person that would put together an emblem in paint that signified a donation to a website we love, just so you can fool people into thinking you donated.
I don't know though, I'm just judging you by your behavior and your avatar.
" Because they held the Bombcast for ransom. I've lost all respect for Whiskey Media and Giant Bomb. "
Good for you. Now leave and make room for the people that we want on this site; people who listen, understand, and not jump to extremes at every change.
The less of your kind on this site, the better for the community as a whole.
" Does anyone else realize how the entire staff is hiding from this criticism? "
Uh, what? What on earth do you mean by hiding? You mean the way pretty much ever member of Whiskey Media addressed the responses in either twitter feeds or posts? Or the fact that they understood that if they ever ask for money for anything, EVER, the internet will always get mad?
