What DON'T you like about GiantBomb?

Personally, I would say it has to be all the middle schoolers and high schoolers who chime in on threads about drinking bragging about how bad it is for you and how they will never touch the stuff. Basically, all the rage I experience from this lovely site stems from punk ass kids.
Also up there for me is the GB Teams penchant for using the term "janky" when describing a game that doesn't feel right.

Yeah I just don't like the way everyone on the forums incorporate the way the staff talk and the likes on the forums, it's annoying and embarrassing really.

The fact that I've not been able to upload images to the site for pretty much a year now.  The bandwagoners and the people that try way too hard to be funny aren't my cup of tea either, but they'll occasionally surprise me. 

people in the community  who take themselves(and the internet in general) too seriously.

I don't like when they talk down about things before even playing/seeing it (examples: Avatar, and most recent was APB.) Brads fake exhaustion annoys me.

I'm not a huge fan of how long things remain buggy. i.e. Guides. I understand they're a small team, and I know it's been said 1000 times before, but sometimes I'd rather them go back and repair things that need fixing before going ahead with new features.  
 
Everything else though is fantastic. I spend way more time here than on any other website. 

Really bad personal blogs no one will care about. I might throw in some random things regarding my life, but I wont bore anyone with an entire piece dedicated to myself. Except I did one blog about my affairs in Boot Camp and Airborne school because I think those events are interesting to people who haven't or wont ever experience them. I'll probably write some war piece when I get back from Afghanistan. However, no one cares that you're "back" from a 6 week hiatus. I don't want to be a hypocrite though. If Army things were boring, I'm sue someone will let me know the comments.
 
Also I wish their was a more consistent flow of written reviews, and I feel some of the reviews run a bit long. But nothing that's a big deal.

How 80% of the best users are gone.

Users who hate teenagers. Yes, OP. I hate you too.

The spamming is really annoying.

That stupid "Trivia" bar up on top.

This, really. Especially the whole <> fad that swept the site for several weeks after the Bombcast. Honestly? You can't give any discussion material rather than "<>?" Yes, it was funny on the Bombcast. That doesn't mean that it will be funny when it's repeated incessantly until the meme has essentially been raped to the ground. "

I hate threads about relationship advice.  Seriously, find a sex and the city website and post over there.

This is really a good example of something that started off as an okay joke but has now spiralled into spam. Please stop doing that - it doesn't add any value to any discussion, and any potential meaning it had has now pretty much disappeared. "

When people make threads about stuff they hate.

Elitists, how everyone bitches about staff reviews, attention seekers

I hate the stupid unfunny fads and memes that have come out of this site.

People blowing jokes out of proportion. 
E.g. "No one is more authentic than Kid Rock" and "<>" 
 
 
 
 
But, "Muh bawls" is still kinda funny

You people are what I don't like about Giantbomb. :P

" I don't like the fact that some Giantbomb users are basically Jeff's fanboys. Don't get me wrong. One of the reasons why I like Giantbomb is Jeff. I like the way he reviews and how he is straight forward about his opinions about certain games regardless of what others think. But that is only one of the reasons. Some just follow everything what he says and it areally annoys me. There has to be certain things that they do not agree with Jeff but NOOOOO, they follow it because "Jeff said so." Plus, Giantbomb is all about Jeff(surprise!!). I really hope people realize this. "

Ungh. You know, it really disgusts me when people take a perfectly mediocre joke and just take it so far that it's so beyond anything that could be considered even remotely funny. Your willingness to run a joke into the ground makes me physically ill and as soon I finish writing this post I plan on marching over to the bathroom and puking my fucking guts out in a vein attempt to get rid of this feeling of utter disgust and resentment that you've stirred up deep within my core.  "

The people that act like it's the end of the world if one of the GB crew doesn't like a game that they, the fit thrower, feels should have been rated higher.  and a lot of stuff along that line of people being unable to accept that different people have different views and different likes and dislikes. 

You know come to think of, there was something janky about the way the GB crew used the word janky... Sorry I couldn't resist, but I agree with you, it is a weird word, and personally I would never use it.

First of all, let me say.  This is my absolute, go to, gaming site.  My number 1.  Its on my top 5 sites to visit when doing daily surfing rounds.  
 
1. I don't like the event coverage being all scattered about the site.  When there is an event.  ALL coverage should be together.  The Bombcasts, interveiws, QLs... everything.  There should have been/be a E3 section.  With EVERYTHING they put together.  Easy to find and easy to sift through.
 
2.  I don't like the archived Ustream videos on Ustream.   Ustream is a shitty site, both in design and in quality of video player.  Get a intern to clean them up and put them here.
 
3.  ER labeling.  I not have so good short term memory.  When I finish re-watching a ER, the number isn't any where to be found on the page.  At least not for my simple self.  Would be nice if I could easily find out what video I just watched.  So I could move on to the next one or just a "Next" button directly linking me to the next video.  
 
Also, why not put all the VJ's and BR's together?  Clean that page/section up all together.
 
Not much else really comes to mind.  Accept some things, I would just like to see more of.  Which mainly would be, more in office videos.  Like the mail bag videos.  I will be very unhappy if there aren't any videos of the new office! 
 
If they made videos of the moving process.... Really its about their unique world of journalism.  Seeing what goes on behind the scenes in the video game industry is a special kind of entertainment.  Seeing Game Devs laid back and not in Press mode.  Hanging out and shooting shit with the guy that runs a major MMO.   Getting a look at what real video game reviewers think of the games they are playing.  
 
 
Fuck it, you get my point.  Se7en is on.

 thats the point, hes fucking trolling you, you silly man. "

The community sometimes pisses me off, quite frequently actually. They like to whine about a shitload of things, especially seen on the Endurance Run for Deadly Premonition.
