Hell yeah! Started fallowing these guys when Jeff was fired from GameSpot over the Kane and Lynch review. They started that podcast called Arrow Pointing Down which eventually became Giant Bomb. They've been ahead of internet trends for decades, but always under the boot of some investment scheme or corporation.
I wonder if Jeff would come back to GB or of that's all past him now.
Regardless, this is such awesome news!
he's doing well with his solo thing so i doubt it but i'd love that because he's way better in a group and he makes dan tolerable for me in a way that none of the east coast people managed to reproduce.
I still listen to gerstmann but I have to run the podcast at 1.6x speed with silence trimmed out due to him running solo. He really needs a co-host to bounce off of.
His best podcast episodes have been the rare Ben cohost or his recent appearance on VGBees.
I don't actually vibe much with Gerstmann's game preferences, but his industry knowledge and proximity to nonsense in all facets of his life makes him a great storyteller.
Hard agree to all of this. My tastes don't align with his in a lot of ways, but because he's so consistent on what he does and does not like, he's an excellent barometer for whether or not I will enjoy a game even if I have the opposite experience to his.
