@xeiphyer: I think the idea is that Archived Shows haven't been touched in a year or two. I agree though, that there should also be... tags for like, premium, ongoing, completed, hiatus/suspended, etc that you either filter by, group shows by, etc.

@fixbane: I agree, any ongoing content like that should be its own season at least. Same for the Life is Strange playdates, as well as the other similar playdate playthroughs.

Hey, I left this feedback on the reddit as well, putting it here too.

Old Games encompassing both random streams and Jeff Gerstmann Home Game seems off. I like random streams with multiple people in them. On the other hand I don't watch The Jeff Gerstmann Home Game. Putting them both in one category seems silly, especially when the Jeff Gerstmann Home Game is its own well established with a name that's right in the title.

Similarly, Premium Podcasts should be split up. First, because personally the only GB podcast I listen to outside of Overcast is Film & Forties, so it would make sense to subscribe to it and it alone. Second, because Film & Forties is a show unto itself and it, the Powerbombcast, and the Ryckert Family Podcast deserve the same treatment as Giant Bombcast Aftermath and any other show on the site, especially since they're the ones you're putting a premium on.

Small note, when Film and Forties is its own thing should change the seasons to be something like One Offs, Fast & The Furious, Nick Cage, and October 2018 or something since those three Film and Forties series are basically seasons.

A few of the podcasts should be moved to Archived Podcasts, but I'm sure yall know this. Not hard to miss Bombin the AM and Alt F-1 being there being strange.

Finally, I notice in the Shows view there are no tags on which series are premium. Maybe that's just because I'm a premium member, but seems weird to not seperate them a bit.

Edit: Oh, one more thing, the seasons in the GBE Playdate show leave a lot to be desired. For Unprofesh I feel it makes a lot of sense to just do years, but for Playdates Life is Strange, Contradiction, Until Dawn and Tender Loving Care should each be their own season so you can watch all of them in a row. Currently, there are Life is Strange episode in multiple seasons which isn't ideal.

The incentive for DKC Reverse Boss Order is cutting it extremely close... I hope there are a lot of people waiting to donate during DKC2 for it. Get your donations in!

Here's my Best Of 2017 List.

Here’s a list I made for next week in which I gave out some awards in various GOTY like categories.

Assassin’s Creed Origins

NieR Automata (replay)

Persona 5 (New Game Plus)

I’m thinking about Night in the Woods maybe. If I have time.

I don't know how much of the accusations are true (seems like some of it atleast? A journalist should do some legwork, clear this up), but it's a very good game for what it's worth. It's like Psychonauts in terms of the amount of writing/humor only using Mario 64's structure. Very distinct from the forthcoming Odyssey since it's very linear and very humor focused.

If yall uncomfortable paying the company with the uncertainty around this maybe consider waiting for it to be in a Humble Bundle and giving all the money to the charity.

Sometimes when I go to download a video I'm seeing times like this for a 2 hour video.

As you can see in the image my internet speed is fine. It just seems like GB is very slow sometimes? Are yall going to fix that ever? I don't want to wait 10 hours to watch Murder Island.

(I'd stream it but, another issue, Giant Bomb's player buffers like a motherfucker. With non-premium videos I usually go to Youtube so as to avoid buffering, but not an option for premium videos.)

Both things have been happening randomly for a while. Both are very annoying.
