Polygon is currently live streaming them watching every Mario sports game intro and ranking them. I'm legit surprised this isn't something Dan's done on GB.

Edit: and the dude literally just said he discovered this intro because he's a Giant Bomb nerd and Dan constantly talks about the Mr Eyeballs thing.

I hope they run into the mystical Vinny bug again on pubg. I feel like they completely squandered the opportunity. They had the jump on the last group with Vinny seeing them go into the building!! Watching them all die was a goddamn tragedy.

I think the thing people forget about MPP is that they started to drag on a bit in the back half because Dan almost always won and everyone but Dan looked like they were on the verge of giving up the ghost. I'd be down for more MPP stage shows though. That seemed to give them more energy.

Have we ever seen a miserable Vinny? It's worth exploring.

TitR Soul Caliber sounds like it came close. We'd probably get more pissed off Vinny, similar to the handicap comments in TLC.

I don't know if I want more Mario Party, but at the same time some of my favorite moments are from Mario Party with GBW. And the gifs were amazing.

Most of the joy for MPP was Dan trolling the shit outta Jeff., I guess Alex would be his target if they do it again.

Why do people want two "high energy" coasts? It's a good contrast to have a chill stream and another that's a little crazier. Even when Dan was on West it wasn't like the others got amped up because of it. Just because Ben is low key doesn't mean he can't bring ideas and new shows to the table.

the difference is Alex would go 'Dan I am serious, stop doing that' and ruin it. Alex tends to suck the fun out of the room whenever its something he dislikes. Instantly.,

That's fair.
But maybe the East crew would get more competitive?
That worked for the minion cup video at least.

Also I don't really understand why people give Phil Spencer so much credit of 'he's the guy they need to be up front' and 'hes the right guy representing xbox' like yeah he's not a dick or a guy who looks like he doesnt want to be there like the last one but what has Phil Spencer done for Xbox other than a lot of lip service? As the head of Xbox what has he done other than pander to gamers without putting out actual games they want and giving PC gamers less of a reason to buy the product his brand officially puts out.

Currently listening to the Beascast, Abby is already fitting in perfectly.

Say what you will about how long the hiring processes take, they're still at 100% success rate in regards to the person fitting in the Giant Bomb mold.

Problem is, I'm not so sure thats a good thing all the time.

Havent heard enough about Abby one way or the other to say how she'll do (although i enjoyed her debut on the Beastcast) but I'm realizing that while Ben does fit in, to me he's just feeling like another one of the guys (albeit one with a voice that is incredibly grating) and I was hoping for someone who would go against their usual interests. At the moment we just seem to have another Dota and fighting game fan.

I've grown to really like and appreciate Alex, but it's kind of a fact that he can be a bit of a buzzkill sometimes. Like when they're playing a game and Vinny or Dan are doing something entertaining, Alex has a tendency to be like "Alright, that's enough of that. Let's go do what were supposed to be doing now."

good news

you have several people who go against dota on giant bomb

also the 'voice is incredibly grating' was totally random and seems like a personal problem

If you guys want Alan Wake digitally you better get it now because they're going to remove it on the 16th due to music licensing. As for me, I got that sweet LE when it released back in the day. Which reminds me what an amazing day that was, got Alan Wake & Red Dead Redemption both on the same day.

When it comes to Vinny and Dan, Alex is probably needed to actually progress anything ever.
