Whiskey Media Appreciation Thread

I sat here watching Jeff, Ryan, Vinny, and the others entertain me through my work day. Then I headed off to school, came back and they were still there playing Golden Eye and to my surprise continuing to play more Kinect games so we could watch and get a good idea to about how well they work. 
 
Then Ryan said something that kinda struck me, something to the effect of "We've been streaming for ten hours straight." So not counting the hours they were in the office doing normal day-to-day stuff the Whiskey staff has been there playing these games for well over a normal work day for most people. And before someone says 'oh noes! How terrible! They are playing video games for hours on end!', many people would have been fed up with the whole deal hours and hours ago. This is just a testament to how much these guy have a passion for the games, and for us the fans.
 
I just wanted to say that I'm glad I paid for the subscription and thanks Whiskey Media Staff for giving me hours upon hours of entertainment.

I love this post. As the business guy there, I can only tell you how much they really do care- and how much effort they put into the content. They really do take on the responsibility of earning your money and time- and making sure you don't waste your money on bad games. Anyway, thank you for recognizing that. Glad you enjoyed it.

I was thinking the same thing. Whiskey Media is really busting their balls to deliver content.

" and making sure you don't waste your money on bad games. "

yeah, watching the second batch of games was rough.... They went through and recorded entire quick looks of stuff where I would have just been like "Fuck this, next game" 
 
Quick Looks of bad games must be fun to record... but doing five-six terrible games in a row must be exhausting.

I appreciate the clear dedication of whiskey media and enjoy subscribing to a worthy website.

Good stuff Whiskey! Big ups, much love.

Cheers Tatum, Whens the Aussie tour? haha

I'd rather watch GB than most network TV these days.  The GB guys are doing some amazing work.  I'm starting to get into the Screened site too.  They cover some really amazing stuff, and it's usually a movie I've never heard of but ended up loving.

Yeah I've noticed an influx of quick looks and now we're getting hours and hours of live streams. I'd pay twice for my subscription. 

Are the Kinect quick looks that have been added recently part of the all day stream? I didn't get to see any of it and would like to in video form.

This is my favorite site on the internet, and It's stuff like today's all day live event that keeps my coming back constantly. Everyone who works for Whiskey Media is dedicated to what they do and it's great to see what they can show us without some dudes in suits filtering their work to meet a more "mass market appeal". Even thou I don't enjoy everything they do across the board, I still appreciate all that they do and I hope they keep it up for years to come.

<3 whiskey media. now just get me my shirt...

I'll make an alternate account so I can have two full-year memberships!

I don't want to look like I'm jumping on the Whiskey-appreciation bandwagon here but I love this site and always have, there's a reason why this is my favourite site on the internet, why I always try to contribute, and why I enjoy the content that the Giant Bomb crew and indeed the whole Whiskey crew put out so much. I have heard the staff accused of not doing enough work, but while they always manage to take a laid back attitude to what they do and never take themselves too seriously, this is a team of five or six people providing quality content, week after week, for our enjoyment, and that takes effort. If anything the fact that they are simultaneously so laid back and so professional about what they do is a sign of how good these guys are at their job. Whiskey Media consistently amaze me with the quality of the stuff they put out and the manner they do it in, I'll take any opportunity to thank them for all their hard work.

I really need to subscribe

Whiskey Media is one of the best media companies in the world, as far as I'm concerned.  You guys just never fail to deliver top-notch (and hysterically absurd) content!  Consider me committed to a second year of membership!

Co- sign this thread! These dudes consistently crack me up, and keep my tv turned off a lot of the time with all the video content. Let's hear it for them!

You are devoted. And by "devoted" I mean "banned." "

By my rough calculations, I spent roughly 4% of my first year as a Giant Bomb member watching videos and listening to the Bombcast.
 
Whiskey Media FTW.

I half expected some Wind Waker image of that annoying Shop Keeper who gives you the gift of appreciation ...  
But that's just how I am, every time someone mentions the word I think of that guy and how I wanted to kill him....  
Even if someone says they appreciate me or what I've done for them I'll think to myself "At least give me a real gift or money or something, your words mean nothing"

@TurboMan: To be fair, towards the end, they didn't really give everything a fair chance ( Motion Sports for example).  But I can't blame them; they had a long day.

" I really need to subscribe "

I felt the exact same way yesterday. Honestly, the kind of coverage they do- especially live stuff, is unparalleled. Yesterday's Kinect show followed by TNT, followed by more Kinect, then the personal live-stream drive home, it's all just shows incredible dedication. I tweeted this to Whiskey Media yesterday and I was glad they re-tweeted it. I meant it too-- the content lately has just been above and beyond. Added to that, I just recently finished the old Persona 4 ER. So much amazing stuff. 

Whiskey Media consists of Top Men (and Top Women). My money has spoken for the support of the crazy shenanigans we get.

"  I proudly show my appreciation with this gold medal. "

Whiskey Media is so excellent simply due to the fact that they're so different from every other media outlet out there, whether you're browsing Giant Bomb, Screened, Tested, Anime Vice, or Comic Vine. They focus far more on personalities that their users have so readily identified with. They embrace the fact that with their relatively small team they've sort of called themselves out into the spotlight. They're e-celebrities at this point.

The Whiskey Media sites are great all around but Giant Bomb delivers an unprecedented amount of live coverage of games. Dedication clearly shows. Jeff at the end of the night looked completely exhausted but he persevered through 2 more terrible games afterwards! It's nuts. They fill my subscription of hilarity on a daily basis. Thanks WM crew!

Yeah, so they're not as self contained as others but pretty much cover the whole day's content.  Proud subscriber, as previously mentioned whiskey content is far better than anything on television lately. I'd be interested in a music focused site, though they'd need a pretty diverse (and therefore large) crew in order to do it justice.  "

I love this site, their unique way of covering games beats everything else out there.

" *cough* silver medals support WM more than gold medals on a yearly basis... ;P "

I love you Whiskey Media!!! *Hugs*

I never thought I'd send money to a bunch of basement lurking nerds who put stuff on the internet.  
But it felt like the right thing to do, and it still does. Love these sites. Keep rockin'.  

Plus this website is mindblowingly awesome. Whoever designed it is god.

I'm glad to see so much support, I'm sure it makes the guys feel good....in the pants.

If Whiskey Media was a vagina I would insert something into it.

I totally dig the Whiskey Media family. Funny thing is when I started visiting Giantbomb, I actually didn't like it. I would kind of listen to the podcast and rarely visit the site. But then I think I got tired of reading game reviews via metacritic and gamerankings. I started watching quicklooks, and listening to the bombcast, and now it's the first place I visit everyday. So kudos to whiskey media for slowly changing me into a loyal follower!

fuck yeah!

Thank you Whiskey Media!!

Whiskey Media is my pimp and I its whore.

Thank you for making the internet more fun than ever, Whiskey Media! <3
