I'm not sure if you're aware, but Giant Bomb is (the biggest) part of Whiskey Media. So money does go to them. Talk about getting out on a technicality, dude.

I am happy that they wont split it after all. The Bombcast is probably the biggest draw for new users of the site. It is what made me join and follow the other whiskey sites.

Based on the BLLSL Comic Vine is a site solely about nerds arguing about which superhero would beat the other one and Anime Vice apparently doesn't exist. Screened kicks ass though and the guys from Tested are awesome. 
 
Anyway, I'll be the first to promise that I will not bitch about whatever the subscribers get as long as it doesn't take away from anything else on the site. Though fuck you very much guy who said everyone would bitch anyway. People with your attitude are the reason it's so hard to tell companies when they've fucked up. Because there's usually some blithering shit head who acts like you do. Luckily Whiskey Media is clearly above that.

And gaming forums aren't about how Halo and Modern Warefare suck, and how PS3 rules and Xbox360 sucks or any combinations of any of those things? You can see the bad sides in any hobby. Too many angry internet nerds all around.

Okay, firstly, what? ComicVine is awesome. Secondly, AnimeVice has no staff, it's run by freelancers. I love it when people who play video games call comic book fans nerds.

I have never ever in all my years ever heard any video game website argue about whether Masterchief would beat Link in a fight. Nor have I seen the same even come from a message board. There are console wars I guess, but those people are called out on being idiots for doing things like that.  
 
Also, I like that you assume that I don't read comic books, I'm guessing you also assume I don't watch anime. I watch lots of anime, I read comic books. I am not outside of the market of any of these websites. I am going on my impressions based on what I've seen. Anime Vice is indeed a decent site, but it's still solely freelancers, that holds it back. 
 
And I'm not basing my impressions on some stereotype or prejudice. They were on BLLSL and what did they do? They argued about which comic book character would beat the other. The match ups didn't even seem to have any rhyme or reason to them. Why couldn't they have reviewed a comic book, or talked about what they were excited about, or... anything that amounted to more than nerds arguing?

You're right. That would be dumb. Link vs. Cloud Strife on the other hand... THERE'S a GameFAQs thread in the making!

I'm so glad this is all over...
 ...ok so people will probably still keep bitching about this but at least this means the bombcast format will stay the same. Right? I mean they have no reason to change it since it won't be split. A different format would just be weird. AND I DON'T LIKE THINGS THAT ARE DIFFERENT. But seriously, I'm glad I'll still get the full bombcast when I cancel my subscription next month.

I expect the first five minutes to be awkward.

Oh thank the Lord!  I was worried about all the issues this was going to cause.  This makes everyone's life easier...even Ryan Davis doesn't need to edit the Bombcast in half anymore.

Let the rampant speculation of what delights await subscribers post this glorious correction begin!
 
i.e., where is my fucking Endurance Run 3.0?

No, they said it would be something new. If they took an existing feature and made it exclusive they'd be in the same boat they just got out of. It's got to be something wholly new.

Just an update if anyone still cares, looks like Ryan just confirmed on Twitter that the Bombcast will remain free.

So if the Bombcast is staying the same is it really worth subscribing?

I am eternally glad this happened.  I was considering just leaving the podcast altogether because I didn't want to have to deal with being two weeks behind on the conversation just because I can't afford to pay for it.   
 
Thank you all for being so damn awesome and helping punks like me with no money to get through the shit week.
