Board 8 > Giant Bomb Topic: Godspeed, Meme Scanlon

(+) Yeah! (+)

yeah i think alex is great in yakuza especially given he doesn't actually know where to go so that's a pointless thing to be upset about
---

I think he is also really good in the fast and furious podcasts when it comes to that
---

fobwashed has a Kickstarter:

I'm a little offput by it basically being about Paxmania characters without any mention of it.
---

well i mean. it was officially announced at a pax rumble event, so.

without any mention of it.

---

i'm at a loss. what does that change, how is it offputting? you know what it's about, you know the people that care know what it's about, you know the people it's based off know what it's about and consent, you likely know the legal benefits for going this route, so...?
---

I'm not trying to start an argument here, I'm just offput by a thing being clearly based directly on a thing, without the Kickstarter mentioning it at all.
---

yeah I'm just asking why. that's not an argument.
---

Yeah probably best to avoid using any real names or brands whatsoever without explicit approval
---

Although it would be hilarious if when you get to The Rumble it just turns into Project64 emulating Wrestlemania 2000
---

i backed it
---

same! I was the 13th backer

very jealous

Seems like Rorie has gotten an increased role now that there's no one on staff.

eww
---

Yeah I think GB West is for all intents and purposed done for me unless they get some real good new blood.
---

gosh there are some salty ass people in this topic lmao

MORE RORIE MORE CHOMPS
---

Cool, Jeff is in the Tokyo Drift cast.
---

I've never listened to a Films and Forties. Are they synced up to the movie or taking after they watched it?
---

Synced up to the movie. At least the fast and furious ones are, I haven't listened to the others.
---

cool cool, I know what I'm doing tonight
---

they're synced

be prepared to enjoy the movie on your own since there can be long stretches with the podcast being silent, but if you want to feel like you're watching the movie with your giant bomb friends, they're super successful podcasts
---

Ive dove every one so far and will continue to do so
---

Man, I've never heard Jeff (G) laugh as hard as he did on the latest Beastcast

He's usually a chuckler, but this was a full guffaw
---

Paxamania 3 started

I need to watch this to see how Drake ruptured his achilles.
---

Drew's got a Patreon:
https://www.patreon.com/clothmap

it's at $3500 after 45 minutes
---

Sounds neat. Backed.
---

Will probably back this.
---

Drew is just the right person to do this
---

cool

but won't back

because just like Alex said during PAX once you're gone from Giant Bomb you're pretty much dead to me
---

yeah he's gonna hit $10k today

my patreon budget is already full as is, and I'm this close to jumping on Aurahack's patreon at the $40 level... but why not, Drew, you have my $5.

I went in at 10 so I can get all the hot video extraz
---

that's probably where I'll end up too, but, you know, there are no videos at the moment so...
---

I've only backed Danny and now Drew, $30 is an easy back for me

Up to $10k worth of meme money
---

where's my video, drew
---

this is cool and i will watch all the videos, but i really can't spare any money for this. he seems to have enough financial support anyway!

also i'm sorry but i'm not a fan of the name

what!

my favorite part of all of this might be the name

cloth map is an incredible name

I feel like I'm missing something with the name.

old pc games used to come with cloth maps
---

Some still do
---

Breath of the wild came of the cloth map if you paid enough money for it
---

if Cloth Map gets $25k, once a month Drew Scanlon will ship himself inside a giant triangular box to one random patron's house
---

cloth map is the pinnacle of pointless game collectible. unless you're going to frame it (you're silly), there's no real way to display it, it takes up a bunch of space, it serves no better purpose than a map that wasn't cloth. it's clutter at its finest and for those working in the industry for years, especially in the height of cloth map silliness, cloth maps are something of a lo-fi industry meme
