What games media do you consume?

PostWhat games media do you consume? by **Lotus** » Tue May 23, 2017 3:48 pm

Given that I probably spend more time reading about/watching/listening to content about games rather than actually playing them, I'm curious as to how much other people consume and in what formats. Might also be a good way for us all to find other sources of information/entertainment so that we can spend even less time playing games, because none of us have massive backlogs and a massive lack of time/energy to get through it all… :slol:

Just looking for stuff you regularly partake in.

Most of my gaming news/opinion comes from here and the GiantBomb crew, I dont have time for anything else really. If I have some free time at home Ill try and squeeze in actually playing a game rather than reading a website or watching a video about games.

Ill also never understand streaming games and watching others play them. It really does baffle me how it has become so huge.

I don't pay as close attention as I used to.

I don't really use much gaming media, other than this place and the occasional GameFAQs page/forum if I am stuck.

I'm yet to find an interesting podcast or YouTube channel that doesn't feature a bunch of insufferable banana splits.

If you can figure out on-demand radio its like that; people talking about stuff which you listen to when you want. If only gr had one you could try out

It's mostly YouTube for me, there are a few other channels I occasionally watch like Angry Joe or DreamcastGuy (who has a really annoying voice BTW) but I just listed the ones I regularly watch.

I follow Eurogamer on twitter. That and GR pretty much covers my bases, scant as they are. I do miss a good article though.

I'm down to basically just Giant Bomb at this point.

I can't believe how popular the GRcade Podcast is. Everyone is loveing it :dread:

If it's any consolation, Pedz, the single podcast that I have ever listened to was a GR one... and that was because it was available in a format that I could just press play on a thread here in the forum.

It's just a shame, people wanted a podcast, it S made no strawberry floater listens to it. People want a main site for GRcade it gets made no strawberry floater bothers with it. Twunts.

I'm going to look at adding a "Podcast" post type on View that will allow all the episodes to be on a page and posted like an article or review
