Definitely echo a lot of your experiences here. I found GB in my first year of uni when I was still just figuring myself out so it's been a formative thing for me.

I believe I found it after looking for MK vs DC videos and finding the we boon interview. It was done so casually that it stood out (especially since Ed Boon seems to have an unbreakable poker face). I previously had a short run watching On The Spot and button mashing but never went deep and stuck to Destructoid for a while.

GB really was the right thing at the right time for me. Older people casually chatting about game industry is not something you can get anywhere so I got hooked on the podcasts and the endurance run. The latter carried me through the death of my stepfather and my university issues. By the time I finished university I was a better person, in part because of not giving into my worst moods.

The craziest and most impactful thing though is the fact that the majority of people I talk to today and consider friends are there because they either are or at one point were GB fans. As you said before the mumble crew let us meet thanks to the relaxed tone of Arma, and I'm glad for it. It's been a heck of a few years and I can only hope for more multitudes of them. The tree of relationships that grew out of me going to this site is immense and it's something I can't really imagine growing up without at this point. Like my circle of friends was torn after school and I knew they were much too emotionally distant for me to really feel comfortable in opening up. I would have probably retreated within myself and got stuck in arrested development and not in the funny show kind.

So hey, thanks to Giant Bomb and everyone I met through it, regardless of how close or distant we are.

Mario loves to spend time with toad because he is such a fun guy.

I recently came back to Russian Rock music and feel like I've been missing it a lot. Was listening to a lot of DDT, which was the first band I've ever got into. Here's a translation of a song from one of the later albums that I enjoy a lot. I wish I could create a video with my own translation but this one is serviceable. https://lyricstranslate.com/ru/pravda-na-pravdu-%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B4%D0%B0-%D0%BD%D0%B0-%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%B4%D1%83-truth-truth.html

And here is the actual song:

Got a key! Thanks a bunch!

Wow! Huge thanks for the heads up on this show not only being out but also good! I kind of had no idea that it's even possible to make a good live action the Tick, but this is genuinely funny, touching and on point with the style of the cartoon. Its especially impressive that they managed to create a straightforward storyline in the really chaotic and absurd world that the Tick takes place in. Really excited to see more.

I am all for the studio cameras over screen space. I don't come to this site for gameplay footage but a combination of the staff and the games or whatever else they are doing. However, both of the options in the top post look fine to me.

Add me, liking this a bunch so far. 8963662476

Thanks! Got back into this game recently.

Fuck, gonna miss you so much.

MGS 5 was amazing for it's Russian soldiers. Everyone had believable and varied accents while also mostly speaking like Russian people speak. I'm not a big patriot or anything but after decades of really inaccurate and at times just lazy portrayal of Russians in things I felt really nice playing the game. A real bummer that the Russian Assassin's Creed is going to be one of those side scrolling games instead of a full one, I'd love to see something like a revolutionary Moscow or Saint-Petersburg.
