Let's be honest, I feel like I should be rewarded by becoming a yearly member. I don't feel that cutting the Bombcast in half is enough. That is why I find it logical for the Bombcast to be cut in chunks of 1/3's.  
 
That's correct, the first week, you will receive the first slice. Then the next week, you get the next slice. After that, you need to send a 400 word essay on why I'm better than each of you to receive the last third of the bombcast. 
 
You people do not deserve the bombcast. I'd like it if chinese restaurants in the mall handed out free meals instead of samples on a stick, but that isn't the case sadly. 
 
This isnot a joke. 

I'm sorry if you take this seriously. I do not mean to make you mad, I'm just proposing a rediculous scenario that has to be ruined by a stupid warning. This is why we can't have good things in life.

The Bombcast controversy and subscription service are a lot like Quests. 
 
By that, I mean that I cannot wait until next week when every fucking thread won't be about them.

Or until the bombcast is united. 
 
Does it need to be exactly 400 words? Can it be more?

I'm really beginning to see who the ass holes are now. Because of you guys I feel better being with the people that didn't subscribe. I don't want to be with some douche group gold medalers who think they are all fancy because they have some money. So guess what? Fuck you guys.

Really, I think it would be better for everyone is everything was cut in half. 
 
I mean, what is the point in giving people full Quick Looks? They don't have the money to buy these games they are showing anyway, so why does it matter?

@TurboMan: I listen to TalkRadar US and UK casts, PCN-Gen and Podcast17 weekly, I enjoy them as much as the GBC, they are free, will stay free, no jokes... you're analogy sucks balls as well btw, podcasts aren't chinese food... well ok there is a massive buffet of free to listen podcasts, and most of them will give you a dodgy stomach but some are spooned from the heavens, so on that level you're analogy works, but ultimately you're analogy sucks balls because I've decided it does, deal with it.

Could there be a fourth split where the staff has to act out that portion of the Bombcast through interpretive dance?

@ez123: Well because I happen to be a gamesradar forum master... as in I'm not a mod or a 1337 (don't ask) but I have a high post count and it's been scientifically proven that your post count directly corresponds to penis growth, and I know if they ever tried to make us pay for Tdar, we'd kill them... like actually kill them... no I'm not joking. As for PCN-Gen, they get about 100 listeners a week so they'd probably pay you to listen to their podcast, and podcast17 are about mods and Valve, so yea... they're not guna start charging, and if you don't know why, well mods and Valve, pcgaming, subscription fee's, not guna happen (first person to say "BUT MMO's!" get shot) -_-

Personally I think they should turn Giant Bomb into one big ARG where we solve the clues every week to uncover all the audio clips of the Bombcast of that week.

I think the Bombcast should be split up into 10 different pieces are scattered in various locations around the site.

How about this. Create different forums. Free forum here, monthly here, yearly here and the secret lifetime forum here. But the lifetime, yearly and monthly can always slum on the free forums. That's the ticket.
 
How's that.

I think we should split the bombcast 1 second intervals and hide them in various places and you have to collect them all.

Me too, and I'm not even a subscriber yet (although I definitely plan to be once I can afford the yearly).
 
Just remember: you still get the full fucking episode. They specifically said that all time-pertinent content will be provided at the same time for everyone.

You're being impractical and just plain thinking too small.
 
Free users should get the entire 2 hour plus Bombcast in one chunk.
HOWEVER!
They have four seperate mics right?  So week one you get a podcast with the recordings of only two of the mics and the next week they get the two others! Plus the new one with two mics. YOU'RE GETTING AT LEAST FOUR HOURS OF BOMBCAST A WEEK THIS WAY!
YOU CAN'T BEAT THAT!
WITH A STICK!

In all seriousness, people who want the whole bombcast and are not willing to pay for a membership are god damn socialists.  Want something, only to find out that you have to pay for it?  What the fuck is that?  It's called modern civilization, you barbarian.  Go back to North Korea and live your backwards life.
