    Oh my god they're drinking Labatt Blue Light with Lime.

    For the record, we know good beer okay. Even here Labatt Blue is kind of a big joke.

    They talk about that in the panel

    They describe it something like "a shitty off-brand version of a regular shitty beer"

    Yeah that's exactly what it is. Regular Labatt Blue is already pretty shitty.

    People hating on Brad are hating on humanity.

    Also, Alex is alright.

    I think Brad might not even be bad at games. He was top of the Bastion leaderboards at one point. He may just be the most affected by Quicklookosis

    Well he did say he hated talking in front of so many people during the panel. And then someone mentioned the audience for quick looks/TNT is much larger... It'd fit if he got nervous.

    Brad would be much better in quicklooks if only he always got wasted immediately before making them.

    a friend of mine said people are talking about the giant bomb crew like weeaboos talk about singers in k-pop bands

    I think

    he might be right

    That's a pretty dumb comparison, but it's fundamentally true. We talk about the Giant Bomb crew the same way anybody talks about any creative personality they become invested in.

    I am frequently wondering how they can even explain games while playing them well. Half the time I'm watching a quick look, I can't hear what they're saying because I'm so concentrated on the game myself.

    Because he was using a review copy and topping the boards meant finishing it first?

    Bastion isn't that hard!

    He had finished it/some challenge or whatever with all of the idols activated.

    That makes it pretty hard

    I used to think that too, but there's too much evidence that he just doesn't pay attention to what's going on. He didn't play Journey in front of anyone, and somehow never picked up on the facts that the glyphs lengthen your scarf. He didn't play Arkham City in front of anyone, and never understood how to dive or glide (despite a lengthy sequence in-game that is based around it).

    Like, simple obvious gameplay stuff.

    The "stage fright" thing is an easy fallback excuse.

    I first went to Giant Bomb for the quicklooks and gameplay videos, primarily just to check out upcoming releases. Then I started actually listening to the bombcast, around the E3 episodes, and was like 'oh hey the people involved with this are all really awesome'

    My first introduction to Giant Bomb was in the E3 thread last year. First there was the recap videos where they're outside the house, and those didn't thrill me. What got me interested was the video with that guy who death stares one of the crew and whoever cut that video zooms into and puts a menacing tune to it. Still one of the funniest things they've ever done in a video. The E3 bombcasts are what got me hooked forever though.
