New Albummer, this time on the new Limp Bizkit album.
didn't they just spent half a podcast talking about how this new album is good though?
Who's "they?"
Jeff G, Danny and Ben mostly.
Are they on Albummer?
my point was more that the core of GB likes the album and spent a bunch of time discusing it and then a rando show on GB all of a sudden pops up and talks about how it's bad
just kinda weird

no one at GB has ever disliked something that someone else at GB liked, it is true

Only if you make it wierd. Different people have different opinions on stuff. As Adman mentioned, the core GB staff disagrees on stuff all of the time.

I mean if this were a game, and the folks on the podcast liked it but some other folks doing the quickplay didn't, you wouldn't consider that weird, would you?
A new Limp Bizkit album is 100% something Jeff will, and should, have an opinion on, and it's also a "notable" enough event to warrant discussion on their music podcast. I see literally no weirdness about it.

So, I haven't been watching Albummer, but this came up on GB Infinite while I just had it on in the background
Honestly, I could see myself watching these, that wasn't bad, even with the very understandable caveat that they cannot play the actual music
Heh, this reminds me of when Jeff ranked the previous GotY lists at GB and then kind of got deflated when he realized the more people that were at Giant Bomb for a given year, the more he would tend to disagree with the list and that took some of the fun out of the exercise.

I feel like you imagine that to be “let’s see how my opinions changed” or “let’s see how context has changed how I feel about old games” but then it just ended up being “let’s see how diverse the voices that weren’t mine got” and that’s not really what you’re looking for.
Even for an FMV game from the 90s this is some dumb garbage and it also needed to be restarted twice. Plenty of low budget and poorly acted hilarity though.
Having VB star in the new premium sale commercial just reminded me of that clip that plays/played when you signed up, where they all clap and then someone goes "Oh, it's a girl!"

The preview image looks like a German army officer demanding to know who left a condom on the parade ground
I'm not watching the video, just so that I can maintain that illusion, because when I saw the preview image that's 100% what I assumed it was and I will accept nothing less from the actual game.
Just announced on the bombcast, a new Premium show:
Metal Gear Scanlon, but Silent HIll. Jan playing for the first time, while Voidburger (Silent Hill superfan) guides him. Live show on Fridays.
Oh fuck yes, I am 100% about this. Silent Hill let's plays are always great, especially when it's a fan guiding a new person. The SBFP playthrough with Pat and Matt was super good. Also helps that they're not particularly long games, either.

Yeah, the actual video does disappoint to that extent.
What was the internet drama stuff Jess was referencing with the Bloober team? I tried to grok what was going on there but it quickly became a weird Twitter hole.
edit: NM, figured it out. They hate Bloober team for making a game that looks a little bit similar to Silent Hill. Seems a bit misguided but I'm not sure I can muster the energy to care.
I think she just wasn't a fan of The Medium, and the Bloober CEO got in her mentions and basically tried to shame her for not "getting art, man"
edit: She had been tweeting about the Keighleys and how the nominees for a lot of categories sucked, and one of her comments was something like "Thankfully The Medium didn't get nominated for anything because it sucked".

Also known as the taint or gooch.
Yeah, I've primarily only heard it called the taint and very occasionally a gooch.

Guess it's true what they say: kids make you crazy.

Now THIS is a show I'm interested in
PSN/Steam/NNID: SyphonBlue | BNet: SyphonBlue#1126
First one's tomorrow.
The Extra Life Lang Zone will be in full effect on Friday (No UPF either).
Yeah, the actual video does disappoint to that extent.
