I see I started quite the conversation regarding Giant Bomb and Nintendo coverage.

Yeah, watching their "we talk over" [insert press conference here], it was pretty funny watching them basically shit on everyone, and I like the general vibe of the crew. So I get that talking shit is their thing, but man they just seemed to hate on Nintendo to a whole 'nother level. Like, personally, Smash hyped me wayyyy more than any single other thing at E3 altogether, but I can still recognize that was a weak direct if you don't care about Smash. No Prime 4? No new Animal Crossing as everyone (kind of unfairly) expected? What about that rumored Star Fox Grand Prix?

But I also recognize that Nintendo has multiple directs a year where they're constantly revealing stuff, so E3 just isn't as essential for them as it is for Sony and Microsoft. And it's just hilarious seeing the ecstatic reactions of say, Easy Allies, to Nintendo's E3 Direct compared to Giant Bomb, who acted like they witnessed the holocaust in gaming form.

That said, I don't see what the rage is about this site at all and I much prefer the aforementioned Easy Allies. Even IGN has better group banter stuff -- their podcast Game Scoop might be my favorite gaming podcast period.

Edit: So basically what I'm saying is someone tell me why Giant Bomb's content is so great. I'm open for convincing.
