GBTV - 24/7 Giant Bomb Videos

Somewhere around last week, Tubesynch came into existence. So, being one of the first people there, I made what has been requested for a long time: a chat room where Giant Bomb fans can watch Giant Bomb videos together non-stop. You can find it here .

Somewhere around last week, Tubesynch came into existence. So, being one of the first people there, I made what has been requested for a long time: a chat room where Giant Bomb fans can watch Giant Bomb videos together non-stop. You can find it here.

But, I'm not making this post to advertise, just to clarify my uses for the room. Here are the guidelines I follow when choosing which videos to add to the queue:

  • No videos which are just talking for too long. This means no long-form interviews, morning show or site redesign stuff. Also, no Bombcast stuff. There's already a place for that. Videos taken around the office are okay, like Mailbags and unboxing videos. Short E3-style interviews are probably fine.
  • Single clips are good, but no highlight montages or Best Ofs. I want to keep a cohesive feel.
  • Cohesion also requires no single parts of a series. Game Room Quick Looks don't count, and having two parts to something is okay as long as the length is good. I don't want to get into marathon stuff just yet.

I have to queue everything up manually, so if anyone wants to help, that'd be great. I'm happy to appoint what Tubesynch calls Leaders to help manage the queue for when I'm not around. Right now, I'm accepting anyone whose username I recognise from the site, so if you want to help out, let me know your Tubesynch username on here and I'll let you know if I know you :P

Also, I'll let anyone site mods be mods for this chat, if they want. Here are the rules: Don't ruin chat. Being a jerk is fine, I think, just as long as you don't ruin chat for everyone else.

It's not usually busy, but there's always someone idling, so jump in and have fun. If you don't like what's on, look down the list and come back later. I'll turn on voteskip when I know it's working right. Like I said, Tubesynch is about a week old, so they're still working stuff out, too.

I think that's it! Let me know if you have any questions, suggestions or comments.
