I don't see much of a problem with this one, and I'm missing the 'little girl' angle too. Everyone seems to be up in arms about any flat chested women in a skimpy (sometimes even non-skimpy) outfits in games, they could just be a flat chested lady. It doesn't make them supposedly 12 years old or so...

Eh... I don't know if you've played the game but this character's height, behavior, and mannerisms are all also those of a child (with some secret "savvy" moments thrown in for the "but no guys she is really 1000" angle). Flat-chested mature female characters can certainly exist but it is very clear that is not what they were going for with this one.

And I totally married her and made kids with her. What's up now? I'm a pedophile?

I thought she was adorable and wanted to fake-marry here. We're all playing games here, we all know it's not real. I don't see the problem. It's not actual pedophilia.

Denial's not just a river in Egypt

Totally. It may have, at one point, been about that, but now it's just the thing that they do. Every (remotely notable) game that comes out, they shoot a video for it. That's what it is.

Encyclopedia Bombastica has a very specific function, and that's to inform people about old games. They even said they don't do a Bombastica unless they've researched the game beforehand. The Old Games Show is specifically to show off later levels in old games (and to possibly do a Let's Play of Snatcher, should they do a part 2 of that). Quick Looks, though, are just footage of a game that just came out with people talking over them. Sometimes they're informative. Mostly they're not.

Are they? When did they say that?

2016 Grim Reaper needs to slow down, jeez

Usually when I see people compare Overwatch to TF2, it's in a positive way. Like, it captures the fun of original TF2 in a new and interesting way. Makes me want to give it a shot. Obviously, it's taking a lot of notes from TF2, but TF2 is also like 7-8 years old.

I'm not invested in it at all. I just think your critique doesn't have much merit.

It's just how the game is?

This game was literally just launched, so criticizing it for its art direction as if it had a different one before and now everything's ruined is strange. This is just how the game is.

As for whether that's a good thing or a bad thing, as far as I can tell, it just means they have expressive faces?

Because that's some bomb-ass break music?

Half the time I assume they don't even break, they just sit there and jam to it for a few seconds. Don't you guys dare cut it.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. They're terrible.

If the Bomb Crew are desperate to interact with their users, a more effective way to do that would be with the chat, since only a small subsection of users A) get through and B) want to call in in the first place.

Yeah, their video player is awful. I don't know that they even have web designers anymore. I assume it's just directed by CBS Corporate or something.

I used to sub, a long time ago, but yeah, the lack of passion is what put me off. Jeff and the rest of the crew don't seem to put much thought into developing content, or if they come up with an idea, it gets dropped pretty quickly because some conference happens. Conferences seem to throw their entire production schedule into a tailspin. The staff is also on the one hand super small (because they don't have as many production members as even the Game Grumps) but also kind of bloated with at least two people who, as far as I can tell, do nothing.
