@bladeofcreation: There's a huge difference between watching a pathetic man-child be shitty in his own little world and an epic story of human awfulness.
I never liked it that much and my opinion hasn't changed. It has the same basic problem as Mad Men... a fundamentally flawed main character keeps repeating the same shitty behavior and is unwilling or unable to change. Rinse repeat. I was occasionally entertained by the world surrounding that central premise, but for me the setup got old fast.
If you want to know what's going on with Giant Bomb, turns out you need to actually pay attention to Giant Bomb.
What an asinine thing to say. I don't listen to the Bombcast nor do I watch UPF, so fuck me for finding out any info unless somebody happens to make a thread on the forums, right?
So what method of Giant Bomb communication would you actually pay attention to, then?
Tweets? Lots of people don't use twitter. Email newsletter? Email has become nothing more than spam to many people. Pinned forum posts? Posts on the front page?
Make a suggestion. No single solution is going to work for everyone, and getting all huffy because you ignore two of the primary ways GB communicates with its audience isn't very useful.
Shame again for people who sub for promised content, and there's next to no transparency on any of their social media feeds
They talked about it on a Bombcast and it's been discussed several times here. Tweeting about it would not make much difference to overall communication.
The best possible option would just be a master schedule posted on the front page with each show listed along with next expected episode dates. Even then, people would be asking why a show on hiatus is on hiatus, but there's only so much you can do. If you want to know what's going on with Giant Bomb, turns out you need to actually pay attention to Giant Bomb.
@humanity: Eh. I'm not going to defend the casting choices in this particular case, but in general any good actor can be a good voice actor. It's not like casting established screen actors is a new thing in animated films, and it's pretty tough to argue those films would have been better with voice acting specialists.
