I hope Vinny starts watching wrestling and every Vinny+Alex video is just wrestling related lol. A continuation of wrestling taking over Giantbomb.

I say this because imo Alex is at his most enterianing during the Powerbombcast

Yeah if you bought a Surface Pro, you bought it for a capable and mobile gaming laptop. The streaming is useless for it, because once you plug it up to a controller/display, why not just play at your host PC lol?

It's not designed to work over wireless.

Stupid I know. I ask again, what is Valve's audience for this Linux/LAN streaming? 5 people that would actually use it? The worst part is that you need a strong PC to host the stream (not that mainstream), AND that PC is completly useless while streaming. At least the Wii U Gamepad has a purpose for families; parents can use the TV while the Wii U streams to the Gamepad.

I would say they should drop this Steam Machines garbage, but like Nintendo, Valve are going let stubbernly crash and burn before giving channeling Satarou Iwata's "We fucked up".

Bit weird considering the Quick Look was boring, but I don't think the sites need to promote each other, epsecially considering that there's usually enough posts on the frontpage without advertising for sister sites. If they want thye can just put a Gamespot link at the bottom of GB pages (protip: already did)

The site will be drowning in E3 content for at least a month, so Vinny will have ample time to stealthly set up the Office while people rage about SuperNintenKinect

Agreed. Videogames all have shit stories anyway

(compared to books, movies, textbooks)

I gave it a go. It works. It works fairly well. But I've no need for this. The most popular PC games nowadays work on any laptop (LoL, Dota 2, Minecraft, Terraria), and while playing PC games on the TV is cute, it still requires plugging in your laptop or whatever. I can see why this is a good idea for people that (for some reason) put their desktop in an un-ideal location, but the rest of us already solved these logistical problems ages ago. If it could be streamed over the Internet...maybe?

People think that somehow CBSi will give Vinny 2 armored truckloads of money and say "go nuts". Reality is that won't happen. However I'm sure we'll see a few cool/creative videos from Giant Bomb East...they just won't reinvigorate the site with the passion/unmitigated craziness they had during their earlier days.

Anyways GB's been in this direction for a while (yes, even before the CBSi buyout). People need to take off their rose-tinted glasses and realize that Happy Hour was horrible, TNT was bad too (they got into a rut playing TF2 like every 2 weeks because there was nothing else), and none of the ERs besides Persona 4 were as good. When Giant Bomb hits a home run, they hit it well. Persona 4, the classic quick looks like Rogue Warrior and Dragonball Evolution, and great premium content like Dave's random PC games were all awesome. However when they're doing something kind of uninteresting (like a quick look of your standard shooter), there's only so much they can do with it to entertain.

I think they need to reevaluate Quick look times. More standard games (not super hyped AAA titles or games with unique gameplay/mechanics)should probably be 25-40 minutes instead of over an hour, and they really should stop doing UPF weekly because like Happy Hour it just gets stale. I would approve more of descrtionary premium content based off ideas that they think are cool. I remember when Brad did a video where he did the ending section of Dante's Inferno, just to show how ridiculously lame they got with it (it was literately an arena of enemies for you to kill). That wasen't premium, but that kind of stuff should be...just off-the-cuff ideas that they get with games that would make cool videos...rather then Lets Plays, which will never be as good as their Persona 4 ER

Yeah Ever17 was amazing.

Though not as good as any book ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I liked VLR's ending. The cliffhanger epilogue was lame (but 999 had a shit cliffhanger epilogue too, remember Alice standing in the desert at the end?)

Since VLR3 isn't being created at all, then I just want a cliffnotes version of what was going to happen.
