Nooooo... Not the heckin' game journos

Nooooo... Not the heckin' game journos...

one day he is going to """""attempt""""" to make his character into some kinda actual puppet show and its gonna fucking suck and hes gonna sink everything he has into it.

Jeff Gerstman is still a threat.

Why do grown 'adult' tendies like watching puppets talk?

Jeff Gerstman is still a threat.

People losing their jobs and the enshittification of websites is bad actually.

getting bought and destroyed by a company you made fun of, specifically because you made fun of them, and hollowed out into yet another AI generated shithole publication is an extremely funny and extremely depressing way for giantbomb to go

site that died 12 years ago is finally actually dead

okay, and?

journos getting fired

Why stop there? They deserve so much worse.

jobs

Real jobs maybe, but these aren’t jobs lol

i love brainlessly cheering on the death of journos because i'm mentally stuck in gamergate, even when they're "the good ones" and actually write stuff and don't get involved with dumb controversy

the current giant bomb was absolutely nothing like og giant bomb. its death means nothing.

"the good ones"

There are no good ones, writing opinion pieces about children's toys is not journalism

JOBS ARE AT STEAK HERE!!!

He rarely even uses the puppet anymore. I think its deteriorating as in the last vid he did use it there was a hole in the hand and you could see his through it.

even the comments are roasting him

Nature is finally healing

that's not REAL journalism

man fuck off, honestly

this anon gets it, I play cowboys and indians because of some review by a twat who discussed 'the delicate balance of the game'
it was fun, so fuck you

its not journalism, it's just paid advertising
you can get an honest video game opinion from any rando on twitch
and developers want the games in the hand of influencers
"game journalists" don't influence
they phone in AI genned slop nobody wants

you can get an honest video game opinion from any rando on twitch

phenomenal bait holy shit

the only noteworthy thing giant bomb produced

How so?

How about forming your own opinions instead of making decisions based on someone else's
You should be able to judge whether a video game is worth playing based on a single trailer

giant bomb before ryan forgot to put on the mask and fucking died was consistently pretty great. patrick was always a faggot but that's the worst thing you can say about og giant bomb.

oh no, the jobs!

How many people are out of work, a dozen? People get laid off every day in every industry but people always freak out about specific layoffs just because they've heard of the company. It's such a strange thing to be up in arms about.

nintendies really get their news from a sesame street puppet

there are unironic journo dickriders ittt

Post hand

especially in journalism, sorry your 'dream job' of wanking and waxing poetic about video games didn't work out

Wrong, gaming journalism was a thing back in the 90's and early 2000's before progressive brainrot took over because back then you actually had to be good at your job to sell game magazines subscriptions.

Magazines were a small operation and wasn't funded by big corporations unless it was a rag like Nintendo Power.

Yes, I'm old, shut up.

reminisces about EGM

sheds a single tear

I'm sad I threw all of them away

Buddy I have good news for you.

you are being trolled, you dumb motherfucker

maybe they should've learned to code

based!

If Arlo was born in like Michigan instead of California he'd probably be pretty based.

sesame street doll content creator

primarily a nintendobaby

released a whole video whining that he can't publicly excited for switch

can't make this shit up lmao. reminder that when women say they don't want to date a guy that plays videogames, they're talking about superfans that watch children's puppets on youtube like this to get hyped up for buying games designed and marketed explicitly for children.

Brad: AIIIEEE what a society we live innnnn. Those fascists....
Alex: AIEEEE ain't that right I hate TRUMP!!
Vinny: Welcome, to the Nextlander podcast where we play video games. I swear on me mamma Giorgia Caravella that we do

Arlo is so fucking based

The worst thing is that they're not gonna let Giant Bomb die. People will quit the site, Dan and Grubb already have, but they're gonna keep the "brand" alive and hire new people that do something.

GB is not a brand, it is a specific makeup of people, the main players being Jeff and Vinny. Hiring a bunch of new people after Jeff got fired was already absurd, nobody from the original site was left, WHY WONT THEY LET IT DIE? it's not profitable, nobody watches it but a few absolute die hards that can't let go and move on.

how the fuck does vinny look the best now?

No, they're talking about chuds who play Call of Duty all day.

Their GOTY talk was embarrassing. Vinny is the only one willing to actually play games, the other two hadn't played 90% of the games being discussed.

I love Vinny, he deserves better co-hosts. The Beastcast was so much better than Nextlander.

I forgot about them, did anything good come out of nextlander?

GUYS LOOK LOOK A YOUTUBER HAS AN OPINION

these threads need to be permabannable

have a blue sky account I'm considering deleting at this point

see countless people crying about this as if a pillar of journalism is gone

GUIZ WE NEED JOURNALISTS WHO CAN POINT OUT CRUNCH AND SAY WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID

go to giantbomb

look inside

podcasts

videos... that are podcasts

news show... that's basically just a podcast

podcasts that aren't even about videogames

cry more, retard

E-celebs are not Vidya.

have a blue sky account

go back to your safe space, pussy.

It's because the entertainment sector is treated like royalty, compared to other professions. If a few thousand construction workers get laid off because more money had to go to Israel, it's no big deal. But if you fire an A-list actress from a movie because of heckin creative differences? Suddenly it's a trending topic on all social media platforms. This will never be fixed until we transform the fundamental culture around celebrities and entertainment as a whole

Put the fries in the bag.

Don't forget to put the BBQ sauce this time, faggot. You did it last time and I'm this close to telling your boss you do a shitty job.

grown men watch a guy larping as a puppet talk about bing bing wahoo games

Grim.

People losing their jobs and the enshittification of websites

The people losing their jobs are part of why these websites are so bad.

he posts on Anon Babble

very grim

they can't help being attracted to stuff marketed at young children. you ever actually listen to someone play a switch game? it sounds like a toddler yanking on the handle of pic related - it's literally fucking annoying if you aren't actively paying attention to it. had to ask one of my boys to mute it last time we were hanging at his house because it was pissing everyone off even in the next room.

How can you enshittify what is already shit?

he posts on the internet

grimerino

joke doesn't hit when it's everybody doing it

he posts

uh ohhh, grimettios

I hate this blue faggot like you wouldn't believe
