Why are there not more explosions on this site? I dont want them to change any of the current content but i would to see some shorts that they could do for subscriber content. I feel like make them 3-5 min long and do them often enough and u have a feature that is quite the departure for gaming but still quite enjoyable since they would be doing funny things. I think it could be an evolution of that gametimejumper thing i have heard about recently. Vinny + green screen is all they really need and i want to stress that they would do them when ever they felt like so its fresh and not forced, Vinny would get some nice practise out of putting in a cgi(badly made ofcourse) dragon on screen for Ryan to do a giant(spirit)bomb attack where he pulls in the power of all the trolls on the internet or something. No continuity, just awesome clips of the crew doing crazy things.

Hey, lets all spit ball ideas for shorts that The crew could have fun with. Remember these can be goofy and would most likely need to be green screened, i really doubt anybody would want amateur looking outdoor filming.

-walk away from a building as it explodes

- fight a dragon only to have dave come in and save the day

-detective Noir where Patrick must find a "giantbomb", Vinny is the dame who starts it all(or Sara).

-Brad gets broken and he turns into Bradhulk

-Jeff's rap career in from rise to fall in 3 minutes.

-The Vinny shopping network, with host vinny where in the backround window showing the outside a giant Jeff and Ryan duke it out godzilla style.

I was going to flag this then I realized this is kinda awesome.  I want the rival video game website fleshed out a bit.  Like what if the rvgw guys show up to the CBSI offices with a legit bomb, to bomb out the GB guys and brad and Jeff have to fight off the waves of evil rvgw writers or something?

@mfpantst: RVGW just links to GameSpot now.

EDIT: REDIRECTS, for those of you who care about the distinction.

Are there any small unimportant islands we could blow up?

@mfpantst: the amazing part of your suggestion is that its totally doable in a hilariously ghetto way.

@BraveToaster: Thats why i suggested they be 5 min max. (hopefully) minimal time in the thing that churns out the video,

not much real tie invested aside from Vinny's (if he decides to add effects after) and, aside from props or costume (if needed) pretty cheap right? im no expert.

There's an explosion in every video intro.

I hear Rival Brad is leaving RivalVideoGameWebsite and going to Giant Bomb as a defector. That could make a good plot.

@super2j: Yup.
@AndrewB: And to un-ghetto it using mustaches and the tricaster, have rival Jeff fight Jeff, rival Ryan fight Ryan, rival Brad fight Brad and so forth.  That would be sweet.

These are great ideas, more explosions would make the day fly by when we have no content. Like right now.

@Hunkulese: And so what if he is?

No. What we don't need is more subscriber based content. What we do need, is more free content. They got CBSi to back them up for crying out loud.

In other words, what the OP is saying is that Giant Bomb should hire Funkmaster Flex

@Hunkulese: lol why? and no im not, im from CANADIA.

@weegieanawrench: What if when the Mods locked a thread, there is a explosion animation on the page

@VisariLoyalist: Fool, they would never do this on land, they are on a coastal city, all they gotta do is go into international waters and film there or do the obvious thing and just use fakes for the videos at all times then phone up Will and Norm to get them to blow up some test range and film it. Im sure Jamie and Adam wouldnt mind, they seem to have enough for a small army..MYTH BUSTERS GOOOOO!!!!!
