I'm baffled by the suggestion that Jess is overly negative. I don't get that vibe at all.
For me Jess is a breath of fresh air. So is Jan. She always seems very full of happiness even when she's dunking on a game or genre she doesn't like.
I genuinely think Gerstmann is one of the funniest people I have ever listened to. His timing is perfect and we share similar sense of humor. I think he completely fails at games coverage though. He hates everything that isn't Mr. Do's Castle. Not only does he dislike almost every game, but it is because he usually focusses in on one aspect of it that annoys him and he blows it completely out of proportion and then just spits bile at it. He completely lacks an open mind. And I don't really need weekly deep dives into the latest retro game playing machine minutae so he can better own something that will let him play Mr. Do's Castle better. Even his twtich streams reflect this because he'll usually just load up and emulator play a new gave every two minutes because he isn't interested in anything. He should probably find a new career talking about something he actually enjoys.
I'm just going to go asleep and not wake up if it ever comes out that Chris Remo stomps around his game studio like a tiny fascist and is mean to women.
The post-mortem of what went wrong that lead to the eventual shutdown of this website will be interesting, at least. All the torrid details of Red Venture management making them churn out a bunch of unrelated content to appeal to millennials while totally alienating their core fanbase will be hilariously ironic; since that is what the original GB crew always made fun of in the past.
I think this launch will be different. PS5 have been sitting around in warehouses for months now waiting for launch day where a lot of new tech is frantically being manufactured right up to launch day.
I remember for PS4 launch, my local best buy had locked in like 500 pre-orders thinking they would get more than that and they ended up getting six. Walmart was the same way. After that debacle they said they would no longer be taking pre-orders or orders for existing products unless they had the stock for it and knew they did. I wouldn't fall over dead with shock if they ended up not having enough supply this go-around, but I am pretty confident they are aware of what they have this time.
