Yeah the idea of dudes yammering over a 30-60 minute unedited gameplay video was pretty novel in 2009, not so much today when youtube is flooded with them. GB was a novel transition and in some way stuck between two eras and two business models, one of the traditional games media glancing over all games under the sun, and the twitch streamers of today. I remember reading a question someone sent Jeff like 6 years ago, asking if there was a way he could somehow give *more money* to the site in support. To which the answer was "buy merch and don't use adblock I guess?" Not saying the solution is to accept TTS donations or just become twitch streamers, but maybe some sort of evolution in their pricing structure in the past decade would have been needed. I knew their output got hampered by the pandemic, but I was really hoping to see them all back in the studio again. Man. It was just over a year ago on UPF when CBS texted Jeff during the stream saying that someone in the building tested positive for covid, forget coming back on Monday.

As usual Dan Ryckert wins again by bumbling into launching a video game podcast right before all the GB poo poo started going down. https://twitter.com/FireEscapeCast/status/1391867045747200002?s=20

His podcast is easily so much better than besties or kinda funny games so it was a no brainer

Listening to the first episode of The Fire Escape Cast, and it really is good. Basically the “whacha been playing” segment of the bombcast blown out to a full show.

speaking of the bombcast: today's lineup: Jan, Jason, Jeff, Bakalar, Danny

They spent like half the farewell cast saying I just to step away from the public eye. It has nothing to do with the sale. And then launched their own patreon in a week. Good poo poo get that money Brad.

they really didn't want to work for another VC. fair enough

# ? Jun 7, 2021 19:43 |

not having to do corporate staffing or fighting for positions to be filled seems like a good enough reason. plus, they can do it at their own pace rather than crank out quick looks, and then do all that video archiving and uploading. or maybe they got tired of having their subscriber money go to another distant yet controlling overlord. Jeff's strapped to GB by contracts and owning it but yeah, get paid fellas

I've been watching Jeff's Twitter likes to see if he acknowledged it, thinking maybe this was an internal spat, like he got a pay bump and staff got nothing. but he done faved this one https://twitter.com/DeadlyCyclone/status/1401947587863797764?s=19

elf help book posted:ok but really.... they need rorie Watching Jeff's garage streams got me excited for the future of GB because it reminded me how talented he is. The man somehow makes going through garbage a fun & interesting thing to watch. And then the next thing he did was a stream with Rorie where he babbled nonstop 95% of the time and all my enthusiasm for nu GB drained away instantly

I have triangulated Gerstmann's jowls. At approximately 9:30AM PDT they involuntarily twitched. This corresponds to the Nextlander announcement. Curious, no?

Took a look at the last week or so of GB content and I could really tell something was bothering Jeff. Considering the current moon phase I think he's a little bummed out that Vinny, Brad, and Alex are doing their own podcast

For real though I'm very happy that they decided to do something together. Just yesterday I was pretty bummed out thinking about how the Beastcast didn't exist anymore and how the Bombcast didn't scratch the same itch. If they can get Jeffy B to come in as the rotating chair I'll be a happy man
