Gotta say I think he's fucking terrible by himself. There's always a ton of dead air, a ton of "Uhhh's and ummm's" and his overall energy just sucks (and it has for years). He can't carry a show by himself and its obvious.
Nextlander is still the eggshell walking, scared of being actually honest about anything bullshit that they brought directly over from their late days at GB and what's worse is this is THEIR company! They should be freely speaking about anything game related without hesitation, but when the asylum purples basically own your business from paying you every month, I guess some things just won't ever change.
They have zero sustainability imo. I cant see any of them doing this for the rest of their lives. Im actually surprised it's lasted this long They do absolutely nothing that separates them from anyone else. Moriarty actually put in the effort to create a mini empire and owns part of a development company, has multiple types of shows and a whole cast of different people on, including some incredible interviews, like with Levine.
It's wild that Nextlander and even Gerstmann dont have that kind of pull anymore. Pretty fucking crazy. And Jeff used to have Phil on his couch at all of those late era E3s. Would love to know how he burned all of those bridges. All of those guys did it seems.

Well, I do like Colin a lot more after he left Kinda Funny. Greg Miller is just a bitch-ass soyboy, much like everyone at Nextlander. Dragging everything down with him. So Colin is better off without him, at least.

I listened to Giant Bomb on the way to work. 20 minutes and they didn't get to any gaming stuff at all. All talk about Covid and other irrelevant stuff. It's amazing how many members they have and how little content they produce. Occasionally there is a Blight Club, Unprofessional Fridays, and Grubb does his Game Mess Mornings.......other than that there is very little content. Sometimes Dan will decide to show up and do a 'Demo Derby' episode but every since Covid, they have all worked from home and have very little content. Nothing like the Giant Bomb from pre-2020!

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
All the classic Mario Party Party episodes have been put up on the Youtube channel for everyone.
Now everyone can experience the bullshit majesty of Mario party.

I started watching Metal Gear Scanlon on YouTube and oh my God Drew is so bad at this game. I don't understand how people enjoy watching this, he dies to every boss for 2 hours because he can't learn the controls, he always resorts to fighting guards instead of sneaking around them, he can't remember to call people on the codec without being reminded. I would expect this if someone who has never played video games before picked this up, but this guy is a video game personality. I expected him to have a basic understanding of game design and a basic level of coordination required by anything that isn't turn based or for children.

He's always been pretty liberal, this doesn't surprised me in the least. Same for the rest of the old crew.
i was always aware of that… calling everyone who doesn’t agree with you a racist and a POS on the other hand is what I found upsetting.
this you can be for the rs or the ls just do not be a asshole about it.

Gerstmanns meal ticket to his Patreon bucks are the Reee types. Doesn’t surprise me at all he’s like that (same with milquetoast Nextlander). If any of them even went so far as to act middle of the road their money would dry up 
None of them have any sort of sustainability with what they’re doing. Moriarty is the only one who did it and does it right.
Also cool tweet bro with your one like. That’ll get some traction!

How’s that relevant? I’m not trying to get “traction” from anything I post on twitter.

That was you?
NiceAlso I call bullshit. The only reason anyone would post something like that would be to gain some sort of response in hopes more people would notice. Get the fuck outta here dude come on
That’s why Twitter X exists

I've been using Twitter almost daily since 2009, and I use it mainly to read tweets. I don't think a JG video is going to generate much interest. If that was my goal, I would be tweeting more regularly about things that are more relevant/trendy. I don't even know what you're arguing with me about regarding my motives, or how the number of likes a tweet has changes anything.
I haven't been keeping up with JG/GB since around 2017, and I haven't seen much discussion here or anywhere else about his rant, which is why I uploaded this video.
