I've listened to all of them. Despite some of the complaints about the length thats actually one of the things I like about it. I have trouble sleeping so I listen to the podcast when I'm in bed. Now it doesn't help me sleep exactly, I don't think the podcast is boring at all. But it gives me something to do other then stare at the ceiling waiting to fall asleep.
I can't say that every game they talk about interests me but the generally laid back manner they discuss them keeps me amused enough that I don't especially care if the game isn't interesting.
It's a damn fine podcast and I'll be tuning in every week.
Seriously, if you don't like the Giant Bomb crew, why the hell are you here? Yes there is forums, but the community isn't as active as say, GameFAQS. GiantBomb is Jeff, Brad, Ryan, Jeff, I couldn't think of GiantBomb getting where it is today because of the forums. It's the personality. And yes, Giant Bomb Cast is amazing.
I listen every once in a while, but I can't listen to guys just talk about stuff for that long. Also, a lot of the games they talk about don't interest me.
"I don't. I'm not particularly fond of GBs way of game journalism."
so what are you doing here?"
I like the board. It poorly visited, but it's one of the more civilized gaming forums available, with very little to no system wars and fanboyism going on, and it has a nice interface. It's very pleasant. I don't really care for the site or the wiki.
"I don't. I think the team is composed of great reviewers, but I don't have fun listening to them talk. Plus, they often talk about games that don't interest me."
Huh?! These guys might be the funniest guys ever to live. I respect your opinion though. "
not really. lol they got great sense of humor butnot that funny. i listen to the podcasts if the topics are interesting. which is everyone si'nce the new site launched except for this tuesday's the topics seemed boring.
Bombcast will never replace my love for On The Spot with the crew and Rich hosting. But it is entertaining, and I might buy a Zune so I can actually catch it. I just find it hard to pay attention to a podcast while surfing the web.
I've listened to some episodes, there generally pretty good but I only listen to episodes in which the topics interest me. I don't generally listen to it because the episodes are usually 2 hours long and I mean... come on, I have a life and 2 hours is ridiculously long
"I don't. I think the team is composed of great reviewers, but I don't have fun listening to them talk. Plus, they often talk about games that don't interest me."
Yeah, complete opposite for me. I have grown accustomed to their personalities over the years that I don't care what they talk about, I'll listen to it. Its not like I'm sitting down intently staring at nothing when I listen to the bombcast, so I don't care how long it is. Think of it as talk radio, but for gamers.
I normally listen while I'm doing some homework, or even while I'm playing a game without much dialogue. I just lower the volume for the music and play with the crew talking in the background.
