Best of Giant Bomb Videos Masterthread. Newest: 55 - TED-01

Hey

Hi! Over the past three years (God...) I've been collecting the best bits of random Giant Bomb Quick Looks/Videos and making little compilations of them and putting them up on Youtube. I remember initially doing them as a way of introducing new members to the site what the best content was without having them being forced to watch countless hours of videos.

Over time, some of the videos broadened out past Giant Bomb and introduced a lot of outsiders to the site (I remember receiving a lot of comments/PMs saying that the videos led them to the site and/or led them to buying premium content). I'm super happy that this stuff managed to happen because I was effective in making my little highschool mixtape of what I thought was cool and I was able to share it with a bunch of people.

Ok, Where am I going with this? I've done a horrible job over the past year or so of keeping up with it and properly cataloging stuff when I should have. So this thread is a way to properly do it. Along with that, there's also a handful of users on youtube that have done similar things that should be grouped in with my shlock (actually the Persona highlights were made before I started doing stuff). So here we go!

Mike Kob's Giant Bomb videos are fucking amazing.

TheBurlapLemur's Bitesized Bomb videos is super ambitious. Watch them if the "Quick Looks" aren't quick enough.

Personal To-Do List for Me:

  • I need to add more people to the Other Videos section. If there's anyone out there who I skipped over, please yell at me.
  • Make more videos! I'm currently looking at making a video a week since I've got time now. If you have a favorite highlight, please yell at me on here or on my Twitter account.

Best of Giant Bomb 36

I know, I'm slow. There should be more updates every (possibly other) week, so stay tuned for that! It's all laid out in the comments how I'm doing this along with my wrestling website ( www.WrestlingLogic.com btw)

As always, all requests are welcome.

Thank you Ryan

I think that I've written and deleted so many sentences today trying to figure out what to say. So here's the best I can come up with:

Thank you Ryan for providing me with hundreds of hours of great, incredible videos and podcasts. Even if I never got to meet you (I've been kicking myself all day today for not getting those PAX East tickets for last years show because I've wanted to be a part of it for so long but schedules and college has always held me back), I felt like I had a close, personal attachment to you because of the way you conducted and handled yourself on a day to day basis.

You were extremely funny and a great host, I've been trying to think of flaws with Ryan Davis all day and I can not come up with any. I remember a few years ago (maybe last year?) where you accidentally got mad at a game and yelled out a slur, but you immediately apologized and called yourself out on your mistake. It's rare to be great at your job, but it's equally as rare when you find someone with that kind of humility as well.

I'll definitely miss your maniacal cackle as well, as it brings me great joy whenever I got to hear it.

RIP Ryan

Best of Bioforge, Worst of E3 2013, Community Commentaries(?), and more, with your friend, TurboMan.

Best of Bioforge Video

I'm a super big fan of the series of Bioforge videos, so I decided to make it into my "Best of GB" videos and I might be open to doing more subscriber stuff in the future (that is, unless somebody on the staff doesn't like it, then I'll stop of course). I haven't done any Best Of Quick Look videos in a long time due to school and work taking over, but I'm still having fun doing them and I still appreciate it whenever people give me good feedback. I'm still amazed at how good I am at breaking iMovie. I think I should have the second half up after E3.

The Worst of E3 2013

As with the past two years, I'm planning on staying up all night Tuesday and making a Worst of E3 video for this year as well. I'm actually hopeful that this year won't be as much of a complete shit show as the past few years have been in terms of cringe inducing moments, but with Microsoft on the ropes, Ubisoft's tendency in hiring the worst MC's, EA screwing things up, and Nintendo just giving up this year, I'm pretty confident that there will be some fun stuff from all of the press conferences.

Community Commentaries(?)

Everyone loves the live commentary videos that the staff does. Unfortunately, they're not able to do it for the main press conferences. Would the community be interested in a "Community Commentary" set of live videos from the events? If so, the I'd like to contribute and gather up a small group of people who could also contribute... just an idea I'm throwing out there.

The Official Sony Press Conference Drinking Game.

The time has come to welcome in the next generation of video gaming! There's no better way to do this, in my opinion, than to tie it together with a drinking game. Go grab your favorite beer and bottle of whiskey and prepare to die join the fun!

  • 2 Drinks: Every time somebody claims the footage was made from "Real Time" gameplay
  • 1 Shot: Something obviously goes horribly wrong (Wonderbook moments)
  • 1 Drink: Every time Twitter is mentioned or you see #________ on the screen.
  • Finish Drink: A wild Kevin Butler appears.
  • 1 Drink: A Bar Chart is on the screen.
  • Finish Drink: Anything about The Last Guardian is mentioned.
  • 1 Shot: Dubstep
  • 2 Shots: Power
  • Kill Yourself: Flow Rida performs a song.
  • 1 Drink: Whenever the word "Epic" is used. (NOTE: This is the word "Epic", not the developer. It doesn't count for the developer.)
  • 1 Drink: Whenever somebody describes something as a "totally new experience".
  • 1 Shot: If the rubber duck makes a return.
  • Entire Bottle of Cheap Champagne: Square Enix shows off another FF7 Tech Demo trailer.
  • Finish Drink: Any reference to the shambolic PS3 unveiling "buying raw potential, RIIIIIIIDGE RACEEER, giant enemy crab"
  • 5 Shots: Harlem Shake
  • Finish your drink: Whenever Ridge Racer gets mentioned.
  • 1 Shot: Whenever someone takes something out of their pocket.
  • 1 Drink: Whenever Kaz Hirai does the number 4 with his hand.

I'm going to be constantly adding stuff to the list, so please add in your own ideas.
