Same. The energy they had was perfect. TBH, I kind of wish the Nextlander dudes could bring Abby in full time, because every time she's on stream with them the energy shifts in a great way. (It's already good energy, she just builds on it.)
I agree 100%, that chemistry was unmatchable, don't get me wrong I love everyone who has been on this site even though I only started watching in probably 2018-ish. but I am watching steal my sunshine again now and I can't get over how much fun the dynamics were.
what has she been on with nextlander? I think I saw something with her in it but my memory is escaping me as to what it was, if you could point me in a direction that would be appreciated duder
@sourtang11: she joined them for all of the Gabriel Knight playthroughs, I think she's been around on a lot of the friday streams and the other FMV ones?
@sourtang11: she’s come in for some coop games (recently Fortnight and Evil Dead) and Dark Picture play throughs. Abby’s also among the rotating guests on their Patron “Never Been A Better Podcast” among other former Beastcasters (Dan, Jerf, & Austin).
@wulfbane: oh dang I will definitely have to see that! love all those people
I had a dream the other night where Fandom threw a bunch of money around to get the current GB crew + Abby/Ben/JeffG/The Nextlanders/Drew together for a panel at some convention for a no-holds-barred retrospective on the history of Giant Bomb. It was rad.
@iphone_tyler: also yes, I want that same dream and for it to be real.
I really appreciate jeff doing what he does and saying what he's said so far but there needs to be some sort of tell all that happens at some sooner point rather than later
This current iteration of this site could really use Jess. She handled a lot of the editing/producer stuff I'm sure Jan is swamped with now. She was also a great vibrant personality that worked well with Jan, Dan, Grubb etc...
Mike is awesome. They should just hire him full time.
Jan: Main host, Main Producer, On-Air, Jack of all trades
Dan: Creative Director, On-Air, He probably does a lot of meetings and in person coverage.
Grubb: Newsman, Sort of the main cog when it comes to On-Air content. Feels like he sets up a lot of Day to Day.
Bakalar: Overseer, I'm sure he's in lots of meetings, overseeing the team. On-Air. Doing a lot of the icky corporate junk.
Tam and Lucy are just way too busy with GameSpot. They don't feel like part of the main team.
@thefizz: I agree with you as well definitely
I was not able to get as familiar with jess specifically but I do recognize she has incredible skills and I think it was borderline criminal she was laid off. I also loved jason as a wisonsin guy and I miss his perspective and skill set soooo much as a fan
@sourtang11: she joined them for all of the Gabriel Knight playthroughs, I think she's been around on a lot of the friday streams and the other FMV ones?
She also had a whole hours-long saga playing "Don't Starve Together" with him.
I still think Vinny is perhaps the most likeable person in all of games media. It's Vinny. He's ludicrously likeable.
My dream would be the current GB crew and Nextlander, Gerstmann, and others friends throughout the years would kind of spin out to the patreon model and kind of collaborate together and just make a bunch of wild, wacky shit about games. Like Abby, Mary, Jason, Ben, etc... if he wanted to come back and do stuff. Just sort of a friends of Giant Bomb collaborative effort. Just to have fun and still cover games.
I hope that would be lucrative enough to make sense. It seems like Nextlander is doing pretty well.
