  • ill usually add 7-10 and maybe have another completed anime on the go for days i want to watch but there are no new episodes. looking at my list, i had 7 that i stuck with for summer, 10 in the spring. my estimation was pretty damn accurate 😂

    can’t go wrong with the 3 episode test!

    this being said, we’ve been eating well this year. so much great anime. been clicking with more than usual. because of a few shining examples of genres that didn’t grip me before my tastes have broadened over the last few years. thankful for that because theres so much good sports, mecha, rom-com, and horror anime out there.





  • i agree. he at least acknowledges some of the good ones but i find it hard to keep up on when new seasons come out for shows i really like (unless they’re super popular)

    I’m sure there’s somewhere to find out, MAL probably has a returning feature. my anime site does but its not the most comprehensive




  • i kept breaking glass protectors on my 6 and got annoyed so i stopped using a protector. got teeensy scratches on it now but i drop it all the time (on tile) and work a rough job. got an OB on it which goes above the edge of the screen so im sure that helps a bit, but ive never had a phone this durable. 8 is enticing but ill wait til i hit my 2 years and see how reviews are that far in.

    I’ve had it for a bit more than a year and a half now, stopped using protectors maybe 3 months in





  • 100%, personality goes a lot way.

    which is why im so partial to the current incarnation of giant bomb. i didn’t follow them in theur bigger days so i had no preconceived notion of what GB should be, i just followed jeff grubb to it when he moved there from gamesbeat. super charistmatic dude, funny as hell, great takes, goes out of his way to help signal boost other games media people.

    the chemistry the gb crew has is magic and they all have great and distinct tastes in games. plus they do stupid shows like blight club where they pick awful games for each other to beat like bubsy 3d, sonic 06, robocop for xbox and heckle each other/ laugh at each other’s misfortunes



  • first off, beautiful formatting! Jeff Grubb of current Giant Bomb has Andy Robinson from VGC on his morning show pretty frequently, I enjoy him. I do catch DF content and pods time to time as well.

    I’ve never set up an RSS feed but might look into it, something to scroll on the can/ when i have a few mins of downtime would be nice. google’s served articles arent cutting it. Left the thing that previously filled this gap behind a few months ago.



  • now do u say this about current GB or their more well known previous iterations? ive only been into them since their main hosts/people being Jan, Grubb, Bakalar and Ryckert. Tam and Lucy from gamespot are frequent collaborators along with Mike Minotti.

    if you’re not familiar with their current crew i suggest giving em another look, they crack me up and bring a ton of personality to the table.

    From what I know, nextlander is former GB people. I’ll definitely check it out, i have lots of drive/work/gaming time to consume pods
