Someone jumps out of the plane way too early
Pat is shot, Russ asks where the guy who shot Pat is, AS he walks in front of the guy who shot Pat, and then gets shot
Total party wipe in 3-ish minutes
5 minutes of Malcolm Gladwell puns
Russ threatens the punners with Studio 60 talk
Jenna fails to run someone over in the car
Terrible accents

I sent that exact video to my brother, who had never heard of either Gill or Gilbert, and it made him an instant fan.

The Polygon video crew got the McElroy brothers for Jackbox and they're finally playing the best game, Monster Seeking Monster. And they're all on camera, and all edits and poo poo.

I guess awful squad is quitting PUBG, and Justin is on to send it off. Stream is half over at this point but I figure most people watch the recording later anyway.

so to recap, the only ongoing series at Polygon now are FiendZone, Brand Slam and Gill & Gilbert (Twitch only)

they've cancelled:
Video Game Theater
Awful Squad
Flimbreakers
Overboard
Week in Revue
Game Ogre
Let's Play the Baseball Game
Fold Yeller
ExeCUTEables
We Fought a Zoo

I'm sure the business model for the Youtube channel was unsustainable but it feels like we're nearing the end of Polygon video content in its current form. hopefully they can come up with some sustainable series and not succumb to the Cartoon Hangover fate of only posting "105 CARTOON CONSPIRACIES YOU DIDN'T KNOW" garbage for the rest of time

They also do The Polygon Show podcast weekly, though I don't know if they still do it live on twitter. They seem to post about 5-10 regurgitated news stories a day, a couple reviews a week, and one "feature" per week.

I took it as a horrible sign that G&G had their stream highlight video and loser challenge canceled after 2 weeks. It must be creative death to be in a place where new ideas have to get McElroy numbers in a week or disappear.

They're like Giant bomb with 3 times the number of employees, far less output and no subscription. I don't understand how games media like them survive or why it would be a satisfying workplace.

Last time I posted in the thread that it didn’t seem like they could possibly be making much money a bunch of people jumped in to say they get a lot of clicks on the website or something and that turns into dollars.

Not to mention retiring car boys, monster factory (admit it, it's gone), touch the Skyrim, fmv quest, and the gameplay overview things Griffin and Justin did.

The biggest killer is they're not generating new series and 'exploring the space' of new games. Without new series there's no reason to check back on their channel and they'll just wither their viewership to nothing.

They've said that they don't do highlight videos anymore because some rando on the Gilbert&Gill channel already does better ones for them. The lack of the loser challenge does suck though, but I chalked it up to them being sick/busy the last few weeks.

I never understood why there weren't more Gameplay Overview videos, and how they can keep doing games media without a series like that. 'Gameplay overview' as a concept just seems like such a fundamental backbone feature of what I'd expect from a games media company.

Simone and Clayton just did a gameplay overview of the Jurassic World game that’s like a Tycoon game, so it seems like they’re going to keep that series alive.

I think they’re still continuing Overboard, Jackbox games is starting back up next week, Simone has her Games Feel Good series still. YouTube sucks as a platform and gets worse every update, but I don’t think Polygon videos are gonna die.
