    As someone who has been playing for 8 years, I can almost guarantee that it won't. Or if it does, nothing will happen.

    Grundle is another word for chad: the region between the balls and the arse-hole; can be an erogenous zone for some.

    Also known as the taint or gooch.

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

    I always heard it as taint, but Jackass the Movie popularized Gooch.

    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

  • Undead ScottsmanUndead Scottsman Registered User regular
    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.

    Nextlander is talking over the Xbox event. Not sure if any other Giant Bomb alumni or current team members will be doing so.

    Premium sale going on. This just in, the stuff that plays when you buy a year is still great.

    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!"

    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.

    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.

    It's like Metal Gear Scanlon if the "expert" actually understood the game, I'm totally down for it

    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".
