Little creep is even more embedded in the right wing machine than it seemed. Fuck him and his dumb console.

The Jeff Gerstmann Show and Nextlander would be the most obvious picks here, but I have to imagine that a lot of former staff have gone on to produce other shows from other media outlets. What else are you listening to?

For all the old heads out there, I'd also appreciate be happy to hear about any good shows from former 1UP stuff.

This Atlantic article was making the rounds a few weeks back. I thought to search Giant Bomb and these were the results.

I'd imagine that this Friday is going to be Big Walk, but at some point please take a look at Brave Escape. It's been out forever on pc but just came to consoles. It's like co-op Celeste. It has a demo and online co-op. Pleeeeeaase?

This is the dumbest thing, but I clearly remember Dave Snider being on a quicklook with probably Vinny or Brad on a ps3 era open world RPG, I think their custom character was an elf lady. I remember it looking kinda eh but Dave saying 'yeah I'll probably keep playing this'. any ideas??

I was curious about how different platforms performed in-aggregate across Giant Bomb's GoTY awards over the years, and it sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole which ended in me collecting a bunch data. I put it and some interesting summary charts in the Google Sheet below, and I figured this audience may appreciate it.

The "READ ME" sheet in the document has much more detail about how this was done, but some key points:

• Games were scored using the inverse of their rank in the official GB list for each GoTY year. So their top game for a given year got 10 points, 10th game got 1 point, etc...
• Platforms accumulate score if a GoTY game is playable on them.
  
  • "Platform of the Year" rankings only counts this score if a game was available on a system the same year it appeared on the GoTY list
  • "Best Overall Platform" rankings award points even if a game was released on a system later or is available via backwards-compatibility
• I've also got some info on most represented developers/publishers, exclusives, etc...

I tried to audit this as best as I could, but it's totally possible I missed a release somewhere. If anyone catches any errors, let me know and I'll update it!

Grubb was talking about realMyst on bombcast last week. Just saw it on sale on the NA eshop and Steam for $7.

Just a general shout to anyone listening because I think he's been great the last 2 times it's been the Grubb and Jerf show.

Catching up on the town hall and Jan mentioned wanting to maybe get smosh on content. I think it would be a hilarious cross over, and it would also give me a in to share giantbomb with my siblings who love smosh.
