  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic What is Giant Bomb?. on the General Discussion board

    @blitzfitness: Nothing on Giant Bomb is huge right now. If you look at Youtube stream replay numbers (admittedly a very limited metric considering much of the viewership is live and on Twitch, but not...

    My view is we should all wait to see what the new encounter is like and judge it then. If it's better than this is an improvement, if it's not as good then you can complain.But even if this is pure ce...

  • bigsocrates posted a message in the forum topic Indie Game of the Week 377: Phoenotopia Awakening. on the Phoenotopia: Awakening Forum board

    @mento: I just think that when you're making a game with no real marketing budget having a name that evokes SOMETHING is very important for discoverability and discussion. You think about a lot of the...

    My 2024 rankings halfway through the year. Not a lot of AAA or standouts for me.

    We're now at the halfway point for 2024. This has not been a great year of gaming for me so far. I'm looking at what I've played and what I'd like to get through and while I've had fun there hasn't be...
