Giant Bomb Mobile Preview

Looks freaking incredible! THANK YOU FOR THE AWESOME WORK! Thank god I can finally post comments and forum posts on my iPhone!

Is this the first time we've heard Mike since the move? I was starting to miss the guy.

is this only available on the iphone?

I have the Android app on my HTC Desire even though it's in beta it runs and works real good! 

This makes me more excited than any of the 2010 game lineup.

You kids and your phones.
 
Will it work on these?

Looks pretty cool!  Now if I only had a smart phone...

man, i missed drew licking his elbow, will someone provide a link? 
thanks

Yes! I just got my first smartphone(Droid X) a week ago. Epic birthday present, GiantBomb. I wuv you. 
 
There's a beta app in the Android Market. What will happen to that? It looks like it was made by a third-party, probably just an avid fan of the site. If he reads this: thanks, dude. It held me over. =P

Can you do quests on it?

So will this load properly on my black berry?

Thank God for the Podcast page. Having to wait for iTunes is so annoying, this is so much better!

I am excited about this. Thank god i just bought my first fancy phone!

Looks awesome!  Nice work, Mike.

Giant Bomb has the best engineers.

I demand more Mike in the videos.

if I'm not mistaken this is for paying subscribers only, correct?  I don't mind, but if that's the case you guys should be more up front about it.

Is this subscribers-only? 

" What about those that bought the GB app? "

When I go to the site on the iphone it's just regular giant bomb, hasn't this rolled out yet?

Awesome. :D

what the eff is wrong with this video?

" @snide: So what about people who paid for the app? First off, it wasn't a very good app to begin with but now you're giving an improved version to everyone. i rarely complain about this kind of thing, but it's frustrating.  how are we supposed to trust your subscription model when things like this happen? for all we know, you could give some of those subscription features to everyone a month or two down the line. maybe im blowing things out of proportion when comparing two dollars to a monthly subscription, but it seems like you're forgetting those people that gave you money and i was glad to help you out. But i also paid for the right to use GB on my iphone, and giving that to everyone else just feels like i wasted my money and i can't trust that giving you more is a good idea. "

the app will still be useful as the mobile site is a feature for paid subscribers.  still, retooling the app a bit for functionality's sake wouldn't be a bad idea for people who don't wanna pay for the site.  whoever THOSE people are.

Dave, you and your engineering team makes websites and little things that amaze me. What did you work on before Giant Bomb? I honestly think these Whiskey Media websites are some of the best on the WHOLE of the internet. You are very talented guys. 
 
As for the issue Jason_Bourne brought up. I don't mind wasting a little bit of money to help support my favourite people in any way possible and in any little way. It is kind of unfortunate that the app didn't turn out good at all but at least they've learnt from it and they brought out an awesome marketing video for it. That's one of the best videos on the site!

It works! nice job Mike.

I like my Whiskey [media] neat.

Sound is f**** up in this. Only right channel.

Well now I'm watching that Shogun 2 footage again.  Cannot wait for that game.

So Dave, where the hell do I pay!?

Ummm no thanks.

To the people complaining about $2.00, please look in your couch cushion. 

Lmfao I thought he was serious at first. 

Ummm...can someone explain the copyright at the bottom of the Starcraft page shown in this video?  Is Giant Bomb and/or Whiskey Media seriously copyrighting the material that WE take the time to write on those wiki pages...or is the copyright for the app itself?

I find it hilarious that people complain about a $2 app on their phones thact they probably pay nearly $100/mo for.  The app store has completely altered peoples expectations.  Like doom was super expensive at 5 bucks or whatever.  Somehow a $2 purchase last year entitles you to free upgrades for life and red carpet treatment.
 
I bought the app, while it's not the greatest, it has the videos which is what I wanted.  I watched a good amount of the endurance run on it from my hotel room when I was traveling for work a few months ago and it worked great. 
 
I've since ditched the iphone for an evo, and the android version works about as well as the iphone version.  Though I don't think it's officially made by the Whiskey group, and it's free.

Does the desktop wallpaper remind any one else of Donny's background from "You Suck at Photoshop" ?

I HATE Mobile versions of websites. Please for the love of god if you redirect my iphone to a mobile version, put the 'View Standard Giantbomb' link at the TOP not the bottom. It always takes forever to scroll to the bottom to find those links.
