We're down a cast member this year, but at least we're sending him off in style!

My friend and I keep fantasy booking Tim Rogers into giant bomb video features regardless of what the chances are

Honestly, the idea of that is the only thing keeping me from being totally bummed out about GB right now.

Oh wow it actually happened. If you'd asked me a few months ago, I'd tell you Ryckert was a lifer. Makes sense it was WWE that pulled him away.

This is pretty much the death knell for GB, right? Most of the memorable series of the last 5 years were his brainchilds. Demo Derby, This is the Run, Steal my Sunshine, Shenmue ER, Hitsmas, Winter Games, etc. etc.

Death knell? I don't think so. GBE will still be amazing.

Giant Bomb survived the death of Ryan Davis, I think it can survive Dan leaving too. Only the loss of Matt Rorie could sink this ship.

that said, its definitely a big hole to fill. The next hire needs to be someone with powerful energy.
I dont know enough about gaming people who arent already involved with GB to make a good guess/suggestion unless they want to poach Brian David Gilbert from Polygon which on further consideration is a bad idea because his best thing is well produced /edited videos and GB is like 100% doing it live.

Tim does a mix of well produced videos for kotaku and just streaming games to youtube while he talks over them

I think hes great at both and I was watching an old 2018 video of him playing phantasy star 1 last night just for fun

He also speaks 4-5 different languages fluently and would bring someone to the team who's primary interest is the Japanese side of video game canon

Also interestingly enough, in spite of being way into Japan and JRPGs, he heavily favors Xbox, so thats another new interest to the team.

Def not a death knell, West is still nearly unwatchable though.

Yeah something like Unraveled would be 100% departure from what Giant Bomb is.

Which isnt BAD necessarily, it would just be weird to be trying to copy Polygon

West would be better if Ben put half the effort into his features that anyone on east does

I could still just watch Jeff gerstmann talk about anything to anybody or just himself and be entertained

That's why my favorite my things currently are when he streams old games out of his home

I agree, but he's just been so lifeless lately. I don't know if it's the family or what, but his soul isn't in it any more

Danny O'Dwyer, but he's even less likely to leave his current gig.

GB is honestly kind of a dead end road. Most people with talent and personality are better off striking it out on their own.

What was that prediction a decade or so ago?

At the end, whenever it ends, Giant Bombs final form will be just Jeff and Brad locked in a room arguing about video games

I dont follow Kinda Funny at all, but it seems like a guy from the Kinda Funny Facebook group started his own podcast/website thing inspired by it, and just left it to join them a couple years later?

Thats wild.

Essentially that yea, very similar to GameTrailers hiring Kyle Bosman who posted little videos in the community. Bosman became the face of that site and still is a big part of EasyAllies. They are putting this kid at kinda funny front and center which is pretty neat

Ben Hanson did an extended interview with Dan that they shot on New Years Day. It sounds like he's been thinking about a career change for a while and the switch to a behind the scenes job was a deliberate choice.

Dan: "now that I have a goth waifu i don't need attention from internet gamers"

truly anime is the real gamechanger

Theres no way Brad ever beats Lost Levels unless someone shows him the infinite 1up opportunity right at the start of the game

Either that or switching to the All-Stars version which lets you continue from the level youre on instead of just the world

New work situation gives me total headphone freedom, So I've been re-listenting to every GotY podcast.

Some of the changes in opinions and attitudes are pretty fascinating to go back to, as well as some decisions that are heavily effected by hindsight.

Up to 2016 best story now. Doom being in this category is the ultimate Giant Bomb "OK Boomer" moment.

It really wasnt that bad just skip Best World. Really I think people hating on 2019 has led to 2017 being reevaluated.

2018 is the best one.

Honestly I would still take the last 2 years over 2017.

Abby is great in general, but she was an issue in that years deliberations.

Did you guys no that, and this is just second hand information here, supposedly Cuphead should be higher?

Not to mention the whole Dream Daddy fiasco, both that game being nothing special and her and other staff members using it to basically tear down all other VNs out there.
