East is still killing it.
It will never be as good as during the Austin era (Project Beast is an impeccable masterpiece, and the VinnyVanias were also great) but East is still full of inventive, high energy content. This is the Run, Steal my Sunshine, 13 Deadly Sims, Die Another Friday, etc. They keep the hits coming, even if they have some misses and don't quite hit the heights they used to.
West was on a downward slope for a long time, then Jeff's maternity leave has just pushed it off a cliff.
The content is stale, rote, going through the motions. Unprofessional Fridays has never been less fun. The Bombcast has never been less fun. There are moments, but most of their stuff feels so much like
work.
What's really suffered are the Game of the Year get togethers.
Go back and watch the 2012 videos then watch anything from the last couple of years. It's just sad.
