Man, how did GB go from basically leading the charge on how games are covered, especially with video content, to being this embarrassing stagnant mess.
I don't think you need that. I remember when magazines would mock websites like GameSpot as unprofessional. Any idiot with a computer and a modem could make a website after all. Now we're seeing the same thing happen to sites like Kotaku.
I played a board game with a friend recently. It was about rolling coloured dice to do things. However, the set had colourblind dice, but the rules hadn't been changed to reflect that. As a result, there was a lot of "Is this brownish orange dice the red dice, or is that the orangey brown one?"

Uh-oh, why is this thread on the Giant Bomb subreddit now?
r/giantbomb - Giant Bomb will not be going back to an office

All this from the last 24 hours.
Doom and gloom has been hanging around Giant Bomb for a long time now, it's not new, I've seen people moan on /v/ as far back as 2017. Now, however, it feels justified. There's so little content on Youtube, and apparently, Premium isn't really worth much anymore. It's sad.
What is Reel Layers?
I remember the early days of screw attack. It's a shame Craig went and ruined it by chasing money instead of growing independantly.
I think old Giant Bomb could've made that a funny segment back in the day when they reviewed energy drinks and strange foreign sweets. Not these days though.
It was alright but neither were as good without the other. But hey, at least we got ProJared out of it all. Anyone that was around for his debut on ScrewAttack sure got a heck of a ride.
Now I’m sitting here wishing for a future of E3 events being terminally online, while worrying more about digital games taking over the landscape instead of physical ones.
Physical media is a long ways from going away.
That explains why journos are so obsessed with putting their fetishes into every single video game, movie, TV show, anime, etc. They gotta coom!
E3 is two Irish guys in the back yard as of 2020. They claimed it since old E3 gave up and didn't do shit.
I don't believe you because that sounds like a better time and less of a pain in the ass than real E3.
And yet five years later, nothing has changed since then. I’m starting to question how the colleges that offer journalism degrees don’t mention this tidbit in their college lectures.
And remember, "games journalists" are vermin even by the standards of "real" journalists. No wonder they'll sell their souls for a blowie from Zoe.
and T2 will make something tone deaf once again
I couldn't relate more to both of these. Tried to listen to this week's Bombcast and just couldn't make it all of the way through without shaking my head at them. Their 20 minute rant on them whining about Horizon: Forbidden West is a great example of how out of touch they are. And even Jess(VoidBurger) doesn't even add much to the dynamic to these. The magic that GB once had is gone now and is just a shadow of it's former self like how G4 is now. Oh, and their new intro is baaaaad.
What was their fucking problem with it? Not enough disabled trans Muslim women in it?
Oh, they complained about every aspect of it. From the characters to the quest structure design to the fact that Aloy is chatty.
So they still try to appease them and they get shat on.
