Either the too human or the Giant Bomb mobile app video

I would like to see it go or be optional too. Whenever I do happen to glance over to that box I only ever see Ben/Abby/Rorie using it. Never really read the tweets either since they are mostly just URL's but getting rid of them would be good for me since it would just remove some clutter from what I fell is an already cluttered front page.

Also wow! what an extremely ignorant tweet by Abby.

So I read the spoilers since that stuff really doesn't bother me, and i'm glad I did since it will save me $60 as I no longer want to play the game.

If the leaks are true I will have the same problem with this game as I did with God of War 3. After loving the first 2 games I just couldn't get behind the 3rd because the character of Kratos was not likable. Not that he was ever a good guy, but the 3rd game pushed it too far for me, ending the world for a family beef was just eye rolly and I couldn't get behind the character anymore. I feel most of the backlash is on this side of the fence, at least I've read more about the hate of the actual plot rather than any LBGTQ inclusion.

@zombiepenguin9: I don’t see him being on many shows/podcasts since he is moving out of the state. Also sounds like he will be traveling with the WwE which is like a different city every week.

This is a huge bummer, the Beastcast and GBE was one of the last things I really liked on GB, and Dan was a huge part of that. He just had such an enthusiasm for games, that even though I don’t play many games nowadays I enjoyed.

Apparently After a quick google search he is doing podcasts with some wrestling group? Not verified or anything

GBE play dates when Austin was around are great. Think that was less then 3 years ago...

@reagent: I’m feel the opposite, Brad is probably the best part of Goty since he is the best at articulating his thoughts, so is Alex. I think he may get annoyed because, especially the two you mention don’t do that as well, which isn’t a knock against them. However, Instead of exploring why they found a game; fun, charming, satisfying etc. they just stop there at a very basic thought and keep repeating these general feelings whenever they need to defend a game. And it’s hard to debate feelings

Austin’s Fallout 4 and invisible inc. argument is really good example of Someone expressing why they enjoyed a game IMO.

I see this sentiment a lot, but honestly don't get this excuse. I have a wife and 3 kids, but I still go to work and perform the way I did before I had kids. Having a personal life is not an excuse to half ass your work. That Feud video was pretty embarrassing, the content was good, but the quality of that video was....every aspect of it audio/framing/editing/lighting was wrong, it's like they did it on purpose otherwise how else could it be so bad?

Really feel the creativity is gone from this site. You look at the variety of content before, with Big Live Show, TNT, TANG, ILoveMondays, Travel Vlogs, Interviews, Articles, Reviews etc. Now everything seems to be either a podcast or a stream of the crew playing some random games for a couple hours.

IMO which doesn't matter, I would just separate the GOTY stuff and not make the east travel to the west, not only do they get to spend time at home with their family after work. I think the East crew would do some pretty inventive stuff based around the concept of a year end recap/award show. It's probably just Dan's enthusiasm for games and Vinnys supportive nature to all his good/bad ideas but the whole East crew have such a fun and lighthearted chemistry together and feel like the West crew just dampens that.

Honestly, this year at least the first two days seem really.....unplanned? Like I want to say lazy but I don't think the GB crew aren't working hard. The content of the Feud video was fun, but wow, the actual quality of that video was terrible. Camera wasn't framed correctly, audio was awful, and then the answers being shown before they are spoken at the end...It just feels out of place on this site with even UPF's being of a higher production quality.

Watched a couple of the personal videos and those are OK i guess, but again it just all feels like they forgot to plan things together like the last few years so they just made a bunch of filler list and recorded themselves once they were back home.
